Flatties to follow 2024

[barjon]

Ok, reet, you’re on. Get that sequinned Elvis jump suit on, hang that guitar around your neck and give us some rock.

“ Well, it's one for the money two for the show
Three to get ready now go, FLAT, go
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well you can do anything but
Lay off of my blue suede shoes”

I got one already:

ATHERSTONE WARRIOR finished strongly (4th) in the Brocklesbury and I reckon he can pick one up with the experience behind him.

[reet hard]

Hallelujah!
The Lincoln winner MR PROFESSOR absolutely hosed up,and will go up a fair piece for it,but is worth noting for any mile race on soft ground where there's likely to be a strong pace. Newbury Spring Cup looks the fav at the mo, as long ait fulfils the forgiung criteria.

[Outsider]

Navagio 3rd in the Lincoln and as DO said,nothing went right for it.

[Tanlic]

Not for me lads. Last year it was Migration who carried a stone more than Mr Professor and he went on to win a big fat zero.

The year before it was the turn of Johan who went 1 from 6 after.

The handicapper won't miss those involved in the finish..he never does.

Matrika is a filly worth following this season

A couple of examples don't cut it either, Fist.
Year after year it throws up horses to follow,like most of the big Flat handicaps,often pattern race winnners too.
It's axiomatic (in either code) that big prizes attract better horses.

[Tanlic]

Am I a dictionary u posh git wtf does axiomatic mean

Mr Professor already has some back form in a listed race, which was how he got rated 100+ a couple years ago. He could mix it up in groups three's or even the right type of group 2 in time. They say you need a group horse to win these top handicaps. If the handicapper doesn't put him up too much his trainer might try and bag another handicap before even having to up him in grade though. Interesting debate this one.

follow the first 10 home and you will be pulling your hair out in 2 months...nuts even to consider it but to each his own

[Marb]

I haven't got any hair left, Tan.

Not on my head anyway.

[Tanlic]

Most that do manage to win do so when least expected at huge odds and you won't be on

[Tanlic]

I haven't got any hair left, Tan.

Not on my head anyway.

You think you got worries with hair loss..I am sitting here waiting for them to kick off in the Supreme

[Euronymous]

​Bust a Move from last Sunday at Donny. Travelled like a dream, beaten by a hard fit rival.

[reet hard]

Had a small ew on Notable Speech for the Guineas.(66/1-Sportsbook)
Wouldn't expect him to beat City Of Troy but he beat today's winner Cuban Tiger comprehensively on only his 2nd start,looks bound to improve, and ought to place,at least.

[LUKE]

Elegant Man wh won at Newcastle on Friday could be a beast but might need to go to another continent to be seen at his best.A late developing son of Arrogate he won a maiden at Dundalk First time out last October.He was then taken to Kempton where he finished second to yesterdays Meydan winner Rebels Romance.A win in a minor race at Dundalk was followed up with an absolute demolition job at Newcastle on Friday.
The owners are ambitious -I could see them avoiding racing on turf and having a crack at an American Grade 1 on dirt.

[LUKE]

Coral go 25/1 for Breeders Cup classic-a disgusting price.Typical of bookies these days -they seem to be more interested in fooling the absolute mugs than actually taking a bet.
We are talking about a horse that has won a Newcastle handicap being priced at 25/1 for a Breeders Cup Classic.True odds are probably about 200/1.

[PlaceBacker]

I think Charlie Appleby will be back dining at the top classics table with ​Ancient Wisdom

[PlaceBacker]

Filly wise think Ralph Beckett and Juddmonte could have another star in ​Indelible

[reet hard]

Backed Rock Hopper 7.00W yesterday, after a bad trip in a strongly run contest at Southwell.
It wasn't his day, for whatever reason, but promise shown in his previous race should not be forgotten.

[Euronymous]

I backed Rock Hopper when he won the Hardwicke in the stewards room from Topanoora.

[reet hard]

Inrigued that Ryan Moore swerved Kempton and the Curragh yesterday, to ride Capulet at Chelmsford.
Clearly well thougt of, he was outpaced over this sharpish 1m and looks one to note in future, (has a Dante entry,plus both Derbys).
