[Soary Stars]

I'll have one, to be exact, please. This could be a pivotal moment in my racing career which has so far lacked ... brilliance.

(Exact) Pivotal ex Brilliance

Mine's the one with the empty pockets.

* includes fillies' 5lb bonus.

We have three horses entered up in the early part of the week. Prophesy and Among Equals run tonight, and Nephrite may make his debut for G-G midweek.

 

[Melendez]

I'll go for Daddy Longlegs.

 

[Bar the Bull]

A quick reminder that if you haven't entered already, you are welcome to do so.

And if your horse hasn't run, you are free to swap him for another horse, so long as the new horse hasn't run either.

No real update in the past week or so. Sheikh still leads the way with Tenth Star having achieved a rating of 99.

 

[simmo]

I'll take Thomasgainsborough please BTB.

 

[Nefertiti]

Please may I swap my previous choice - Highflying (Galileo ex Beauty Bright) for Camelot (Montjeu ex Tarfah). I see Camelot has entries this week in a couple of good maidens - some action soon!

 

[Bar the Bull]

Absolutely. Incidentally, that makes you the first of 40 entrants to select a Montjeu horse.

 

[Sequoyah]

I see that my Accept hasn't been entered for the National Stakes,so he's unlikely to appear for a while (and he's got a terrible name!). Nefertiti has just beaten me to Camelot, so I'd like to switch to Skyphos please.

 

[Nefertiti]

But a very expensive Montjeu with a great name entered in a July maiden!

Crossing fingers that he runs this week, but my track record is against him. My choice last year never made the track as a 2 year old and hasn't won yet after at least a couple of starts as a 3 year old.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Camelot looks to have a nice page alright.

Sequoyah, I have updated your choice with Skyphos.

 

[Sequoyah]

Camelot is already being quoted at 25/1 for the Derby, so he must be showing something at home.

I picked the wrong Oasis Dream colt!!! Power was the one!

 

[Bar the Bull]

Power might have been hard one to pick. He only cost £50k gns as a yearling, even though his dam is half sister to Footstepsinthesand.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Ike Eisenhower Dylan Thomas ex Statua

This one appears to have been renamed Fort Sam Houston, he runs in the maiden at Leopardstown tomorrow night.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Are you selecting him?

 

[Miesque]

From a few pages back

Also

ex Statua was previously Ike Eisenhower and is now Fort Sam Houston.

Do keep up

 

[chroniclandlord]

From a few pages back




Do keep up

Sorry Miesque, I'm not the brightest.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Are you selecting him?

No thanks Bar.

 

[Rosefinch]

If he's available Warwick Avenue (Montjeu - Dance Parade)

 

[Gearoid]

If he's available Warwick Avenue (Montjeu - Dance Parade)

Oh you gallop watchers can't keep it quite for long! Is this the Montjeu aeroplane I've been hearing about?

 

[Bar the Bull]

I thought Camelot was the aeroplane???
