Don't suppose there's any chance you could post them when you see they're running? Would be v handy

Encrypted, mentioned by Flame above, runs in the Kempton 6.40 this evening.
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......
2017diary (28th June 2017)
Glad I checked back to this thread. Encrypted runs today for Hugo Palmer. Against a couple of likely sorts but an each way shot to nothing.
Cheers Flame. By the way, Naas has a two year old maiden today, any chance one of those nicely bred O'brien's you were asked not to name are in the first three on the card...?!
Top man.
Typing at the same time Col!
Notes from my O'Brien contact re today's runners;
Naas
Broadway (5.50) works the nicest of the O'Brien three at home, but she will benefit from the run, she could be worth an each way. Ballet Shoes needs further. Butterscotch way well put her experience to good use, but I wouldn't be taking short odds on her beating Broadway.
Butterflies (7.50) galloped clear of Key To My Heart on Saturday morning and connections expect her to go close. Elizabeth Browning finds little off the bridle and possibly would be better over a mile.
Jigsaw (8.20) is very moderate and not fancied.
Pocketfullofdreams (8.50) has been expensive to follow but she hated the ground last time and didn't stay. She is a miler and the drop in trip today is what she wants. Amazingly she is a big price back in a maiden and this race is bang on for her especially back on fast ground. Anastasia is very confident she will win today and she is the best O'Brien bet at the meeting.
In regards to the gallops from before the horses in question were as follows;
Old Time Waltz (led), Rain Goddess (struggled), Winter (E J McNamara)(hard on bridle)
- Working the bend gallop, Old Time Waltz who is a nice progressive filly led the useful Winter and Rain Goddess. Rain Goddess struggled and ended up last and Winter was held together to sit upsides a hard driven Old Time Waltz who was not disgraced in the gallop.
Fleet Review (Led)(Anastasia O’Brien), Declarationofpeace (Seamie Heffernen), Sioux Nation (Donnacha O’Brien), Delano Roosevelt (E J McNamara)(Best) – 5f
- A good piece of work led at a good gallop by Fleet Review. He was soon joined by Sioux Nation who finished last of the main three, but there was a surprise as Delano Roosevelt kept on very nicely to finish 3/4L up on Declarationofpeace who in turn was 3L clear of the other pair. This was a good piece of work.
Ballet Shoes, Magical (Very nice sort), Broadway (needs time) – 5f
- Magical looks a very smart filly and she had the measure of both her companions in this decent gallop, under a hand ride, she went on by 2L, Ballet Shoes, was 1/2L up on Broadway who looked very green.
Note: Since the gallop in question above, Broadway has worked very impressively over 6f at home and is a horse that is highly regarded.
2017diary (28th June 2017), Carl (28th June 2017), Colin Phillips (28th June 2017), Part time punter (28th June 2017), Therightroad (28th June 2017)
Apparently Eminent broke the 40mph barrier approaching the 5f mark during a 7f workout today
fonz (28th June 2017)
Wouldn't that be quite common in a half-decent horse?
On TV last week Brian Gleason mentioned in his interview with AOB that Caravaggio had hit 45mph in a gallop and I recall the trainer of a horse (Melottie?) saying he reckoned he could win any handicap he wanted as the horse had a 22-sec 2f burst in him.
Illegitimi non carborundum
I'm with DO, a miler hitting 40mph is no surprise, what is surprising is connections still think he wants further than a mile. The key saying is everything looks fast past trees and he worked with a horse that in all honesty he should have kicked out the ground.
Broadway definitely ridden for another day. Relieved he kept her going for 4th, as she was a nice odds against 4 place market on Betfair. One for next time over 7/8f me thinks. Got quite a big bet on Anastasia later on in the last, hope she does the business.
Encrypted wins, thank you, Flame.
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......
Always annoying when you take 3/1 about a horse and you don't have best odds guaranteed and it hacks up at 11/2. I really don't understand the drift, it's work has been that good, I don't know how anyone associated to the yard couldn't bet it.
BigTea (28th June 2017)
Still looked a little green at times but ran on very well for a cozy win.

Good thread this
Mishari (Andrea Atzeni), Kuiper Belt (Tom Queally), Excellent Sunset (Stevie Donohoe)(Burst Clear) – 7f
- Three nice colts done a strong piece of work this morning but it was Excellent Sunset who was in control at the end of the gallop, going clear by 3L
He's in the 20:30 at Newbury on Thursday 7/1 with Paddy.
