From today’s Racing Post: The going at Goodwood has dried to soft, good to soft in places from heavy after Thursday's remarkable deluge. Clerk of the course Ed Arkell admitted he should have left the description as soft following 28.6mm of rain during racing yesterday, but conditions have...

Don’t forget the old saying ‘form is temporary class is permanent’. I’m sure you’ll soon be back on form and knocking in the winners. Enjoy your day out.

When they talked to the Clerk of the Course, it sounded like he was guessing a bit saying he might change it to Heavy. Times didn’t really bear this out. Could be a bit dead underfoot tomorrow though and that makes it harder to guess who it will suit.

The weather forecast I find most reliable has quite a bit of rain for Goodwood in the next 4 hours, could be very soft for the next couple of days, and may get dead ground by Saturday.

One of the Dixon Brothers (key part of Horse Watchers) said the same on Racing TV yesterday, saying that though he had won on GF earlier in his career, he probably needs it soft these days.

And Zinc White now 9/1 from 20/1!

With your comment ringing in my ears, I thought it likely Whirl might win this by quite a way as others wouldn’t like the going. When I looked at lengthen the odds for the first time ever, I couldn’t believe how poor the odds were. Against my better judgement and so I had a financial interest in...

I thought Bedtime Story had a nice little spin round. Might be of interest next time.

I agree Lord Bertie is one to keep onside. The race Elmonjed was in, also featured Strike Red, who ran very well and at one stage looked like he was coming to win, from the wrong side of the track. He interests me in the Stewards Cup at 25/1, Elmonjed is favourite, 11/2 last time I looked, but...

Latham was a bit longer yesterday, so others must fancy him too. I backed Manaccan at that price too. I recall DO mentioning him, I think at Royal Ascot, when he hadn’t run for over 2 years. He travelled surprisingly well in that, looking like he may be involved 2f out, before fading and ended...

I wonder how much water they’ll put on tonight?

Well the rain has arrived now. If it stays around like that for long it could be interesting.

I thought so too and had a little on at that price last night.

Magellan Cloud. I thought that was generous too, so had a small investment. Still happy with Thunder Wonder, even though he is now 50/1.

Decent plan and it is a very fair price. I did rather fancy Vino Victrix in that race though.

Ran really well when second to Toimy Son in this last season.

Last years winner was drawn 21 and the runner up 20, so I’m not worrying about the draw especially if there is appreciable rain before Friday, which may even favour higher drawn horses. Mirsky was my initial thought, as I usually start with David O’Meara in these types of handicap, and I have...

Well done. Hope you got the 150’s

In the Galway Plate, Adamantly Chosen at 20/1 is interesting. Big price for Mullins/Townsend runner in a big race. Ashdale Bob 22/1 could also run well. He has never matched his hurdle form and at 10, it’s a worry he has only run in 7 chases and didn’t run in any in 2022 or 2023 after his Chase...
