Dettori asleep whilst Joe Fanning stole the race on Waveband.

oh well maybe sonny red is the 1 then!

Luckily my greediness for even money spared me. Poor ride from Dettori but a great front running effort from Fanning.



Did a lucky 15 on Premio Loco, Lord Shanakill, Capponi and Deaville Flyer. Need the last one for a £200 return off £6.

Never mind, still got £30odd back and took the tips of Premio Loco off here and backed Capponi at 5/1 as well.

Great efforts these pal

Been a good week





Gutted Kings Gambit couldn't just get up that would of been class.



Indian Days came 7th in the end behind Imposing in 6th thought at one point it was pulling up as he went really wide with it well away from the field weird thing to do which cost it a few lengths.



Nothing was stopping Premio Loco not even the rail! nice 2nd with Vertigineux as well

Other two both second as well ... Jo'burg and Monsieur Joe.

Looking at the Germans starting lineup Uruguay are great value at around 3/1

Sligo 4.25 Strain Of Fame



Its currently around 7/1 betfair but if this sees early money then it shouldn't be far off.



Mullins is a master in training a horse to do better over jumps he just gets the best out of them like the one I mentioned on here in the week, so you can never really go on the form its the money that talks but then its too late to get a good price and people will follow that sign but I might just have a little early nibble on it with Townend on board for the ride, Mullins has put a few of his lot over the flat to gain fitness he did it with this one and I backed it, on paper it wasnt good (9th) but watching it Strain Of Fame was the last to be ridden and when came to making its move was blocked and boxed it when trying again.

Uruguayan keepers killing me here!

Bloody hell Forlan was off my seat when he hit the bar

Got a little bit on Strain Of Fame @ over 10/1 win on betfair and 8/1 E/W not bad odds for Townend and Mullins combo.

15:25 - Gift Horse Gallery - Always dangerous backing horses in Maiden Hurdles as you never know if the trainer is trying to get them handicapped or not. This mare caught my eye when running in a very very hot Mares Bumper at Tipperary LTO (winner sold at auction for 300k+ since), she travelled well for much of the race in a race that contained plenty of previous winners and had previously won a Ballynoe Mares Maiden by 8 lengths (runner-up has gone in since). She caught my eye and this looks a weak enough contest, at a bigger price Sarah Battle is interesting for Gerard Quirk (trained the winner of the previously mentioned Bumper) though it's her third run in Maiden Hurdles so always something to be wary of.



Bet: 1pt EW Gift Horse Gallery @ 18/1 (Victor Chandler)

Me too.



How do the bookies pay out if their all level?



I've got Forlan and Villa.



Said on telly last night that the golden boot would be given on the number of assists if all level. Are the payouts based on that too?

Crap day and to rub salt into it Myler get a bloody hat-trick this week







Little bet on Morning Legend 5/2 in the last at Sligo its sister is Morning Supreme and the rain should help it.

Faded off the lead Mullins didnt even do anything and then decided to ride it pointless

Need holland to pull some money back after a bad bad weekend of punting! 3/1 seems generous to me....but what do i know

I know there was a few Forlan backers on here shame he couldn't get it outright but still got a good return even with the dead heat 4

Woohoo £16.50 from my £1, my biggest win of the tournament

Is there any reason why I shouldn't put a large amount of money on Tillietudlem in the 3:30 at Beverley tomorrow?

Positives ... Ground and trip fine, jockey in form.



Negatives ... Dangers abound in the shape of Markington and Phoenix Flight but most damning is the fact that the geldings only defeat in 6 outings came over C&D on similar going finishing behind They All Laughed (2nd & 3rd to Andorn). They All Laughed also reopposes on 7lb better terms due to Tillietudlem's subsequent wins.



I'm not saying it won't win, just it's far from a good thing. But if you like it, go for it!

Had another gander, still like the look of it. Think 11/4 is a decent price so had a little nibble rather than a bigger bet.

Hope it romps home then.

fashion icon has a decent chance today at beverley

Longchamp



6.45



Prix Maurice De Nieuil



Blek 9/2



Doubts about Purple Moon in this with the ground being soft so the Lellouche horses look like the best with Aizavoski being the fav of the two but I like Blek who beat Kasbah Bliss and Bannaby this year.



7.20



Grand Prix De Paris



Jan Vermeer 7/2



Travelled really well in the Irish Derby I felt the jockey shouldn't have let Midas Touch and Cape Blanco kick on for home as it give too much to do, Murtagh is back onboard today though and soft ground shouldn't be a problem with its easy Group 3 win on very soft in France.

Hull kr even money on Thursday looks like buying money to me,we have no long no o'meley & now it looks like fitzgibbon is going to miss out. Pains me to say it but I can't see past a rovers win the form they are in at the mo.





































On n no I won't.be backing em!
