Blonde and partially deaf are not a good combi....![]()
But almost as good as blonde and totally deaf

(Blonde, deaf, mute, nymphomaniacal and pub-owning is the pinnacle.)

Coral Eclipse
Camille Pissarro is a best price 10/3 for the French Derby (Chantilly 3.05 Sunday).
Now, I'm not sure this horse wants 10f but he's got every chance from.his draw in stall 1. If he does prove he stays then surely he'll go to Sandown for the Coral Eclipse like St Mark's Basilica. It's hard to see how he is available at 50/1 for Sandown. You'll always want to be on a 3yo in the race and if he wins on Sunday he's far more likely to run in the race then any 3yo ahead of him in the betting.
I suspect Wayne Lordan was given a few roars but things always tend to work out for Moore. Hell of a ride.Only caught the replay and I'm kicking myself but it looked like a cracking ride again from Moore.
Ha, obviously they don't agree ... Now 33s25s (Bet365) is big about Glamis Road in the 1:30 at Epsom. (Didn't stay 10f at G3 level last time out)
1.00 Epsom - Kindest Nation has plenty to find on the book to be competitive in a tricky looking contest. However she will greatly appreciate all this forecast rain and can run better than her odds suggest. 66/1 with 4 places ( 365/Sky ) 1.5pt EW & 22/1 Top 3 finish ( 365 ) 2pts
I've tipped this one on Twitter also ....................... I reckon by the first race the going is going to be close to soft, Kindest Nation is a filly that has won on Heavy in the past, she will need a huge career best to take a hand in the finish, but the going at times can be a great leveller, and whilst it is difficult seeing her win the race - there has to be value in the suggested bet. I would personally make her a 33/1 chance to win with 3 Places on offer - the Place part equating to 6.6/1 ( 33/5 ) ..... 66/1 equates to 13.2/1 and an extra Place with the two mentioned bookies ...... 22/1 for anywhere in the Top 3 is simply wrong in my calculations.
Kindest Nation is a good value speculative play - win lose or draw.
Be Lucky If You Play.
And me.I've had my eye on Flying Finn in the 3.25 Epsom but really it does look like he'd need softer ground to be at his best. However, at 33/1 with a little juice in the ground, I'm having a tickle for insurance purposes.
