We wait 12 years for an inside tip on a Spanish winner and this is all we get?

I have been waiting longer for a bumper winner tip and still dont have it.

We obviously have varying standards for admission. You evaluate and study handicap hurdles. You feel bumpers. Different criteria.

 

[Bar the Bull]

It's feeling bumpers that got you into that spot of bother last year, an capall.

newmarket considering watering the track? seems odd. some more rain due this week. only good side of good to firm now.

 

[Miesque]

Very little rain due, grass cover good but not as much as some years, ground very much on the firm side of good currently. Newmarket tend to be overly quick to water anyway.

-2 forecast for Friday night into Saturday

Ballydoyle still baying that Australia is king. WC likely goes to France by all accounts.

 

[trefflich]

All hail the next triple crown winner...Australia!

 

[SteveM]

17 confirmed for Saturday’s race, headed by Kingman and Australia. No supplementary entries.

 

[SteveM]

The Dosage is of decisive help to us this year as it separates the first two in the betting – Kingman who is extremely well suited to the distance requirement and Australia who will thrive at middle distances.

Thanks JFT. It’ll be in Wednesday’s RP Weekender, I can’t front-run a blog until after publication.

He been left in the French equivalent also. I never trust AoB when the word probably is in a sentence!

The last time I went to the guineas was when a handsome Cape Cross colt by the name of Sea the Stars came over from Ireland and announced himself a champion. I didnt back him that day (Backed Rip Van Winkle) but he was a real looker in the paddock. I thought he was a derby horse....

I have no idea what wins but I think I might head up there this year as this looks like it could be a strong guineas and worth seeing. If we get a clear winner they will be a good colt.

 

[Miesque]

I'll be around all weekend if anyone is going - if I can extract myself from my visitors I'll gladly come say hi!

Of course Steve, didn't think otherwise, I am a regular weekender reader!

Newmarket have watered....and are being very naughty in calling it good to firm, it's good if not erring to the soft side. The track drains well so if it stays dry the ground should be perfect by Saturday.

Interesting that @NewmarketRace is calling the ground gd to fm. Our stick goes in 6-8in in the last two furlongs

 

[Miesque]

It's good, patchy firm before the bushes and very much erring to good, good to soft past it. Prosser is going to have explaining to do if it rains!

 

[Ardross]

Rain expected today .

War Command surely does run as Moore booked and Fallon and Dettori on the other Hannon runners.
