You looked at Hot Streak's time yesterday EC? Looks off the scale.

Why would you change something based on an average of thousands of horses, based on the result of one race a year, even if it is a Group 1? I'm not saying the WFA system is right or wrong, in this instance, but you'd want more evidence of it than simply a top-class filly winning the Arc...

Think Rebellious Guest looks worth a little play in the 2.00 Ascot. Come down plenty in the weights since a 2-y-o and definite signs of resurgence at Yarmouth last night under Mackay, pulling off a steady pace, meeting trouble, and running on under tender handling in the closing stages. Down...

Come on guys, whatever you think of Orfevre's chance, surely it depends on far more relevant stuff than what Tony Bin did, or High Chaparral or Pilsudski etc.

Thought this article was pretty interesting from ATR, particularly the comments about Francesca Cumani. Putting aside your own opinion of McCririck and his suitability for the role, I'm beginning to think this might not be quite the dismissal I thought. Surprised it got this far in truth...

Won't be today looking at the market. Down another 5 lb today, then a 0-60 off a break during the AW season with Kirby onboard?

I think we are getting to the stage where this horse becomes worth watching a bit more closely. Declared at Kempton 9.10 Wednesday night, down to a 0-65, in a change of headgear, and dropping down in trip. Would preferably like to see him off a slightly longer break in truth.

I know Kiyoshi is bred to stay 7f and further, but I'm with you, I think speed is her main asset, she left the Queen Mary winner for dead in the Moyglare when quickening up before being reeled back late on. Interesting to see what the jocks do tactically. If this race develops more down the...

Stalls are Far Side at HQ all 3 days now according to this http://www.britishhorseracing.com/goracing/racing/going/default.asp

Thanks Reet I don't know for a fact, but I wonder if the different interpretation comes from a disagreement of when the race starts. Some analysts take the start of the race as when the tapes go up, Timeform have, for as long as I've known, waited until the leader has passed the starting line...

Hamm How much hindsight goes into the assessment of what those 4 achieved? I think the comments hold true in the context of what those horse achieved in the Supreme on the day. But my niche isn't jumps, so happy to be proven wrong on that. Perhaps the author might have been better saying 'one...

Not according to this Reet http://betting.betfair.com/horse-racing/cheltenham/cheltenham-results-reviews/cheltenham-results-handicappers-corner-day-one-120313-43.html

The Champion Hurdle was run at a stronger gallop than the Supreme, to the detriment of the overall time.

At first glance Jezki is the one you look at and thing his price could move downwards if he can put it together in the Morgiana. My hunch though is that Punchestown is often the weakest form from the spring Festivals. I backed My Tent Or Yours for this after the Supreme last year. Now they know...

One day for me, but Thurs or Fri to be safe.

Someone should tell Matthew Tester that Australia isn't unbeaten.

Treve and The Fugue are not rated 132p and 131. They are 129p and 128.

Makes sense, O'Brien won't do the weight for the 3-y-os in the Arc.

Desert Orchid Had a flick through Racehorses of 1970 at lunchtime yesterday, no doubt that Timeform were happy to rate him in similar lofty heights as most on this thread. Wasn't trying to knock the horse, and Gus has made my point better than I did, but Nijinsky didn't really hit astronomical...

Predictably, he runs.
