Fair play chief!! If I had a day like that every week I'd be happy.

Would be interested in hearing Donnelly's thoughts (or anyone else for that matter) on SNA today if your about? Good thing?

Whats the feelings on the board now about the Derby?

I think St Nick will win. Price is a bit skimpy though.

Wonder Of Wonders at 4s is a solid e/w bet to nothing in the Oaks. I wouldn't rule out Jessie Harrington's filly either who actually finished ahead of WOW at Leopardstown in April.

I'd layed the fav for the Derby before the news of his injury. Pour Moi was a silly price a few weeks back before Fabre came out and said that he was up there with the best he's ever brought to England. He's found his right price in the market now. Of the Ballydoyle pair - Seville won't have the gears IMO but he may reverse the Dante form considering the crawl they went at York. Recital looked a bit difficult in the Derrinstown but I expect Fallon will ride him differently now. I'd be surprised if he's out of the three and it would be good to see him win just to rub it into Native Khan's connections given their ridiculous carry on trying to stop Fallon riding the colt.

Thought St Nick was beaten all ends up there!

Donnellys Hollow · June 03, 2011, 03:05:32 PM

Hard to know where they'll go with him now. He looks too slow for 10f and I'm not sure he'll beat Workforce or the big Aussie horse over 12f. Did that well enough though. He didn't really handle the camber up the straight and they didn't exactly go a blistering gallop.

Heard nothing,that's not to say it wont win though!

Just after coming in from football training and looking at my texts- 'no.8 in the 8.10 is a great e/w bet'-guess what went and won at 16/1

Disaster!

Agreed

Donnellys Hollow · June 04, 2011, 12:35:20 AM

Just out of interest BB, who is your source in Geraldine's Lass' yard? (PM me if necessary)

I'm only interested because she's trained by the Lilywhite legend big Willie McCreery!

Candyman · June 04, 2011, 12:49:59 AM

DH... Thoughts on 2moro?
