The Horse racing thread

I'd love to be on a 50/1 or 66/1 shot but they don't happen that often so when I hear there is a horse that should win a particular race, regardless of the price, its still nice to take a few pound of the bookie

Markazzi in the 1.20 at Newbury, you can get 11/5 on Betfair, the word is this horse is a machine (don't blame me if it turns out to be a Massey 35)

This horse should only be associated with one type of machine

A machine gun............

I gave up backing Richard Hills' mounts years ago. The guy is an absolutely shocking jock. Why Sheik Hamdan retains him, I don't know.

At least King Kieren is back in a few weeks. One of the few of the flat boys I'd trust with my hard earned. Roll on the national hunt!

Evasive 6/4 this morning. Not a great price i know but if it wins it better than a kick in the bollix.

It has been running in group 1 races lately but now drops down to a group 2 race and is back to it's better distance of 7f

It looks like Godolphin have ruined another promising horse in Evasive. His run today doesn't say much for Mastercraftsman's form ahead of his meeting with Sea The Stars on Tuesday.

Roll on the NH is right...Hate that flat racing had a £1 yankee today 7/1 beat on line .....8/1 beat online 6/5 winner and the other stuffed......Dont like sprints when your horse is crusing and cant get space....joke...

Them big field sprint handicaps in England are a complete lottery. The draw bias at some tracks make it next to impossible to find a winner.
