1000 Guineas (and beyond)

[Hamm]

I'm with Rainfall E/W and strong. One my most confident bets in a Group One this year.

She's not got much to beat and not got to improve much from Ascot.

Have had a little on her as well - lots more tocome.

Regardless, surely you would say the price discrepancy between LL and Special Duty is very strange?

Not really - Special Duty has looked laboured all season with 3 runs (two of which were hard races back to back) close together - Lillie Langtry comes into this on an upward curve and given her problems earlier in the season there is every reason to think there is more to come.

Either way we will soon find out.

Strawberry drifting noticeably on Betfair.

 

[Harbinger]

Nice performance from Music Show but... they're all just taking turns aren't they?

 

[Gearoid]

How Lille Langtry hit 2.10 in running is beyond me.

 

[Euronymous]

That course needs torching. Pin stickers paradise.

 

[Desert Orchid]

Get in there, Music Show!!:lol:

 

[Guest_]

Music Show...how obvious!!!

 

[Euronymous]

The July Course - rewarding mug punters since the middle ages.

 

[Harbinger]

Plenty of deserved praise on RUK for the ride.

Starter for 10 - Who is the best 3-y-o filly at 1m?

Plenty of deserved praise on RUK for the ride.

Initially I thought they went very slow but they appeared to really quicken up after a furlong? Looked pretty weary in the last furlong bar the winner.

 

[Euronymous]

They're like the sprinters - taking it in turns.

 

[Hamm]

Annoyed with myself - my whole angle on the race was the price of LL, and instead of laying her win and place, ended up backing 2 others each way - no loss, but a bad choice all the same.

 

[Gamla Stan]

F*cking Music Show. I gave up on her after the Irish Guineas and she goes and does that.

 

[Gamla Stan]

Hope Special Duty is ok, something amiss.

Anyone want to blame Queally?

I did think of you when she crossed the line in front!!

 

[Gearoid]

I was thinking of the bank manager whe Lille Langtry trailed in behind....

It's up to Workforce and Harbinger to give this Flat season the kick up the arse it needs. It's been incredibly mundane thus far.

Yup - there are one or two others but it needs to come to life for sure.

 

[Euronymous]

Canford vs RVW would help.


I'm boycotting the rest of this meeting in protest. You can stick the July Cup where the sun don't shine.

 

[Hamm]

The Marois could help. Not a vintage season though. I'm probably one of few who thinks the 3yo milers not all that either.

 

[clivex]

I am at a loss to see what is wrong with this season. Maybe the older horses arent all that, but surely it has to be looked at in November not july?

Canford Cliffs, Workforce, Turpin all very admirable and exciting horses in their own ways. we could have seen the best derby winner for many many years and we have an exciting looking KGV in prospect for once

As for Music Show, we know that Channons can be in and out. Was certainly worth a bet at 8s

What are you protesting against? Picking the wrong horse?

 

[Euronymous]

The racecourse, hate it. Very rarely get involved but thought SD was reasonable value at 4/1. Beauchamp Hero in the Princess of Wales was my last decent winner there and that must have been a dozen years ago at least. Oh, and on top of that I had Enrique in the 2000 Guineas and a short-headed Dolphin Street one year in the July Cup at 25/1.
