That was a monster performance by Gstaad - clearly way the best in the race. Pleased that Stark Contrast ran well to finish second too for me at a nice price.

That may have meant she was feeling good! Cracking ride by Oisin there - wasn't exactly entitled to win on form.

Well spotted... :LOL: I will change it when I am awake and not losing money at Del Mar!

I think I erred not putting either Kalif du Berlais or FastorSlow in the List.....🤔

Well I blew out royally there! Brussels broke slower than slow and probably would have won had he not. The others - dear god they went via Tijuana! True Love who looked so well - well Ryan Moore was sorely missed there. The Owen Trained Aspect Island ran well above form to snatch third.

And here are my hurriedly thrown together lists whilst switching around looking at BC cards... Team 1 Brighterdaysahead - GE Gaelic Warrior - WPM Honesty Policy - GE Iknowthewayurthinkin - GC Il Etait Temps - WPM Kandoo Kid - PN Lossiemouth - WPM Marine Nationale - BC Romeo Coolio - GE...

Anyway - 'nuff of all my whimsical anecdotes or I will be pissing people off on here....:rolleyes: The video I posted above gives you just an idea of how tight the turf course is! Makes Chester look huge! Overall comments from the videos are that most of the AOB horses are clipped but their...

Oh I love the BC - I have been twice to Santa Anita (nearly went through the card in 93 - just missed with Arcangues which ironically I had been watching training in the mornings and thought just how damn well he looked. Stupidly I didn't put him in my Pick 6 and that cost me a ridiculous amount...

Del Mar "workouts" - actually it's more just seeing horses trot and canter rather than fast work on the track but quite interesting for me to watch. 1 hour 20 minutes.

Agreed

I have not replaced either Caldwell Potter or Ascending Lark as at this stage it's too late. But I have marked them as out.

That is such a blow to the yard. I loved this horse and thought last year was just the start.

Yes

Don't forget the deadline for the prestigious "Beat Jinnyj in the Ten to Follow" Competition is Saturday 1st November....so get those entries in and please someone else win the trophy!! And prize money - there's prize money plus enormous bragging rights... :LOL: Please put all entries on the...

I'm pondering! Plus I have been super busy with 2 P2P zoom meetings all this week - both were nearly three hours!! Second one was editing the "idiots guide to running a point to point meeting" that I have written. It has been a labour of love but was massively needed as there has never really...

Truly awful news. Coming only a week or so after an employee of Racing Welfare did the same. So much in place for these young people but they still tragically slip through the net.

I was at Newton Abbot today (good day for me as I backed three winners...:cheerleader: plus got treated to a pretty nice lunch in the restaurant!) Anyway in the last ( a bumper with some decent lookers in it) the Skelton horse Soldier Reeves was supposedly a good thing and looked a very nice...

Stocking up on supplies for his retirement then?

Were you really there, AC? That's wild! I might have got up to all sorts of shenanigans had I known :LOL:

I'm always going to worry about those foot issues! I worked at Del Mar back in the day (I think it was '92) and loved the place as it's a fun relaxed place to work. All the horses used to be shipped down there for three months in the summer from Santa Anita and Hollywood Park and we all moved...
