I can safely and very happily add my congratulations to Gforce now for winning the May table. Very well done. That's your third monthly victory overall - brilliant work.
One Friday return EW at 50s for Robicheaux - well done. If I've left anyone out, I apologise; please leave a message on this thread and I'll update.
CALLING Jake: Jake, sorry about this carry on. I logged a ticket for a support call about 8pm the other today and got an estimated call wait of 7 to 10 minutes. They didn't call until after 10.30, when I was asleep. I will log another call and try to get this sorted out. Can you PM me the emails you've used trying to get this fixed, and the original email you logged when the site opened (your profile has disappeared completely from the back end management system)?
Seems like my post on the Guardian has been expunged before ever being posted...
I basically said, if you were a Racing journalist, you should be bereft about their current coverage. Nothing they have posted recently that allows a comment, apart from heavily redacted today. it seems...

3.20 Epsom Zarzyni placed at 17/2
I am sure we are all watching a one-sided FA Cup Final. Rhodri did a Professional foul just before half time and is still a generous 6/1 to receive a booking (copyright Dilton).
Grealish also too emotional and is over compensating and I think will be booked before he is subbed.
Luke Shaw a generous 13/5 for a yellow.
Casemeiro for a RC is a good bet as well.
Both versions of the Dash were run in the same time to the hundredth of a second - 54.23. Really? A liitle hard to believe.
Prosperous voyage won 6/4.
Inevitable.
It is not Aftertiming for me to say Xmas presents were AP vouchers on Auguste Rodin for the 2 first Classics.
Ryan Moore made sure he was switched off and saving his energy which he badly needed at the end.
I thought the runner up would get reeled in as ot is unusual for Wooten Bassets to stay 14F.
That is ok with me Joe,thanks.
Epsom 3.20 - Clarendon House
Gareeb muss 15.40
Well done EGS ,
Adelaide River
13.30. Epsom.
NAP The Derby The Foxes. Only because of what happened to Oisin yesterday (that makes no sense, I know!!). I'd love to see Sprewell win for Jessica............May the best horse win and the race run without disruption.
One race that hasn't had to shift its start time is the 2.55 at Hexham: Most Important 3-Year-Old Race Today Juvenile Hurdle. Preposterous and funny, well done lads.
Ew nap. Mountain Peak. Epsom 3.20.
The Derby being moved to 1.30 is a proof of Newton's Third Law of Dynamics: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. I'll walk you through this. Due to the corrupt voting procedure at the FIFA meeting in 2010, for the first time two World Cup host nations were decided at once: Russia in 2018, Qatar in 2022. (Russia was such a great choice, wasn't it: in 2014 it illegally annexed the Crimea just in time for the Sochi Winter Olympics - yay!, followed by the rampaging around Syria to prop up the murderer Assad. Then it invaded fellow UN, FIFA and UEFA member Ukraine in 2022. But of course the football went ahead regardless.) Then the Qatar bid decision was wrong on so many levels which we needn't go over again. But it did mean a winter break in the Premier League (and other UEFA national leagues). This meant that the PL was severely disrupted with a compressed fixture list and a late finish. The poor old FA Cup final got shunted into June. The consequence of that is that, because football is king in this country, Britain's leading flat race, administered by the ever meek BHA, must be moved three hours earlier to suit no one in racing at all. So every action has a consequence.
Prosperous voyage 2.10E.
Monaadhil 13:15 Muss Nap...Good luck with your Epsom tips
Thanks for the cheers, winning is all the finer having such worthy contestants.
I've changed my mind several times on the Derby but will settle on
Nap Derby Military Order
to quell the concerns about stable form - perhaps their main focus is this race and the upcoming Ascot and anyway form has to turn around sometime.
I've had win bets on Passenger and Arrest at just over 7-1, and EW bets on Dubai Mile and Waipiro (33-1), but for the nap:
Ancient Times 3.20E (lots of positives for me)
Congrats to GForce.
Another moan! Just to reinforce the opinion that the Derby shouldn't be run at 1.30pm today - ITV's only programme to promote the race beforehand, The Opening Show, kept mentioning the bloody football!!
(surely they could focus on the horse racing with a brief nod to the FA cup, instead of repeatedly having little pieces on the footy.)
