Not Hayley Turner's finest moment but I wouldn't rush to blame her. She was probably riding to instructions.

    No axe to grind either. I backed the winner.
    Omnivega runs tomorrow at Newcastle 4:45 7/4 early price.

    Thanks Col, it’ll not take too long I hope. Meant I could spend the afternoon enjoying the racing from Newton Abbot so that’s a plus . Some interesting runs:

    Jack Thunder coming second at 66/1 was no fluke, he ran a sound race, bit clumsy at a few hurdles, and would have won easily but for the fast finishing favourite. Dariya ran before she is raised 10lbs but had a job to hold Gaot with the rest over ten lengths behind. Cheltenham de Vaige won with ease and goes from strength to strength putting the Sedgefield setback behind him. Lastly, and best of all Long Stay treated his rivals with complete distain in the bumper and must surely have a rosy future in front of him.

    And needless to say I didn't back it.

    Because it was at Kempton I didn't even know it was running. I didn't even know Kempton was on, let alone on TV. When I heard them talking about it beforehand I thought to myself, "Where do I know that name from? Some dick must've put it up on the forum."

    I only watched the last couple of furlongs, not even knowing it was a hot favourite but hoping whoever had put it on the forum had backed it.

    Your memory must be as bad as mine, Desert. I posted yesterday that it was running at Kempton today and you thanked me for the post! Do keep up old boy

    Just preoccupied, Barjon.

    Things aren't sticking around in the old bonce with so many other things to deal with.

    Like form, it's just temporary.

    As Desert Orchid pointed out in the York thread Devious Company was head and shoulders above the pack in most ratings. I don’t think he ran up to that since he was a touch slowly away and taken off his legs for speed in the early stages travelling in the rear group. He began to motor not much more than a furlong out and ran strongly through the field and he was still coming at the line, albeit still a length or so behind the winner.

    It was a strong race, so a decent performance, but I think he needs a little further to match his ratings.
    Runs tomorrow 1:50 Doncaster. Did run poorly at Naas over 6 fur only 3 days after his York run.

    Good to Firm

    I thought this was a good debut for Lone Eagle. The winner, Recovery Run - who had already run well in a couple of decent all weather events, raced mostly in the lead throughout with Lone Eagle tracking him a length or two adrift. He had to be pushed a bit to hold position some 2 furlongs out and made his effort with Recovery Run inside the final furlong when just over a length adrift. Finished the better to go down by a head in the end with the rest miles away.
    Runs again after 28/8 Goodwood WIN. Doncaster 4.05.

    I've had a couple of quid on - the step back up to 7 will help.

    Clear top on the figures but I fear both the Hamdan horses might improve past him.

    As expected. He was being pressed very early and is miles short of his best now.

    AWAY HE GOES

    Doncaster 12 September 2020
    Magners Dark Fruit Cider Handicap
    1m4f, Class 2, £21,787.50
    Going: Good

    4 years old, don’t know where Away He Goes has been. He started off well as a three year old then faded from view. I don’t know how strong the field was, but it was Class 2. He didn’t come off the bit ‘til the last furlong then just moved off and won as he pleased. We’ll surely hear more of him.

    Grand Scheme 2:30 Bath
    Chil Chil 4:05 Bath - disappointing last time, but ground should be better.
