    Ebor Meeting.

    One of the biggest meetings of the year although you wouldn't have thought it here. More interest in a jockey thumping a horse.

    I like:

    Ronald R in the Clipper Logistics at 12s and 9s. Ran a blinder in the Britannia before a race that didn't suit next time out.

    Dartmouth in the Lonsdale. 6s about a horse who acts on the track and was better than the bare result in the Yorkshire Cup is simply too big given the opposition. The Mullins horse that heads the market was impressive at Ascot but beat nothing. I'll be looking to hedge on the Haggas horse with a daft name.

    Will back Queen's Trust against Enable in the Oaks.

    Cheers for the heads up. I did Move In Time lto, a very well handicapped horse on its best form, worth trying again in tomorrows 1:55 with near enough bottom weight.

    It's a very good card tomorrow, but I hope there's not too much rain.

    Probably would have won the Derby had he been that forward. Wondering if they might change their minds about running again this season?

    I was going to have a decent bet on Happy Like a Fool today who I reckon will take some beating but that was until I saw the price of Enabled (1.37 at the time on the machine currently 1.32)

    The way Ulysses won yesterday Enabled must be the biggest certainty since Arkle won his second Gold Cup only Enabled has less hazards to face:0) Acts on any ground opposition is crap
    30% plus added to my entire bank will put me in a good position for the flat season so I'll be all in by the off a loss will leave me with 2.07p :0( got plans for the 2 quid lol

    Win lose or draw a 4 week rest from betting..............I'm sick of being up one minute and down the next because quite frankly way too much dross running on the flat ...Just not enjoyable or profitable enough for the hours put in enjoyable


    If Enable fooks up I certainly won't He happy Like a Fool

    David Bridgewater sends his foreign import, the lightly raced and unexposed Cohesion, to the Ebor on Saturday.
    This is a talented horse, who won his first two races abroad, then beat future winner Fabricate at Wolverhampton.

    Cohesion's had a three month break since one poor run in Chantilly, but he will have been freshened up for Saturday. He has a very similar profile to previous winner Litigant, having come from abroad, won on the a/w, also raced in the same valuable race at Lingfield.

    I'm doing him each way. I may also back something else.

    Prufock / Simon Rowlands goes for Magic Circle. Interesting.

    Magic Circle and Cohesion (e/w) against the field then maybe.

    Bridgewater can be very shrewd in the context of selling hurdles-might throw a few shekels at that one.

    I own a very tiny share in Flymetothestars. Will travel up but won't run (current thinking, can always change) without soft in the description
    If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

    Yeah Luke, I think he's best of the rank outsiders and could out run the odds. That's all I can say with any surety. Between him and Magic Circle I can hopefully get a good result..

    The Nunthorpe has got to be the race of the meeting with it near impossible to split Lady Aurelia who was born straight into the top ranks and new to the top ranks Battash


    Not betting but Battash did such a fast time last time out I can't believe he won't peg her back on the ground if it gets much softer but it won't be easy

    It's definitely a race to look forward too. I won't be betting on it but I'm hoping for a thriller.

    How do you feel about Dartmouth? Crapper.

    Marsha beats Lady Aurelia in a similar way. Frankie's hilarious.

    Dartmouth ran all the way to the line Martin can't be faulting him.

    Euro the Nunthorpe perhaps tells why Davy Russell punching a horse is more interesting when even the best in training get stuffed every other run. In my book that today was the equivalent of Altior and Douvan being beaten by Fox Norton...very hard to swallow

    Frankie made a bit of a fool of himself there. I can't see him doing that again too soon!

    I've changed my mind a bit. Cohesion and Wild Hacked I'm taking against the field now. Wild Hacked is my main hope.
