Well done EGS, Pebbles, and Gaz, who has always been consistent in picking winners; this month Gaz, since that initial winner on the 4th has never gone more than 1 day winnerless. If I've left anyone out, I apologise; please leave a message on this thread and I'll update.
I am away playing in the annual McNally golf event, along with brothers, sons and nephews. This year renamed the Kevin McNally Memorial Trophy. We will be at St Fillans on the banks of Loch Earn. I will open Sunday's page later and will update all results on Sunday evening. Good luck. I am hoping Haymaker or The Big Board will win The Portland.
Wins for j v and js.
Continuous won 3/1.
There's a long winded post on TH about this premier idea.
Nothing said about the staff as per usual .
As I've said countless times this bloody woman Harrington and the clowns around her do not have the slightest idea about how racing works. Come and work in a yard for a week.
10.30 starts , what time do I feed around , midnight maybe to let a runner digest his feed before he gets on the box .
No thought on staff going racing at dawn leaving us even more short at home then?
More overnights means more costs to the owners ,who will be racing for less under this crackpot scheme which benefits who ,one guess.
NAP Hurricane Ivor 2.25 Doncaster. I see Robicheaux has also napped it, EW - apologies!. I going on the nose for the exact reason he outlined.
Like Joe I'm playing golf today. Isla Del Sol Yacht & Country Club so I can check out any potential racing alligators.
Tower Of London in the 15:35 at Doncaster.
King's Lynn 2.25D nap
Hidden Depths - 15.25 Bath
Hurricane Ivor won the Portland 2 years ago. 10lb lower today. He's the only horse J. Harrington has sent over during the 4 days.
Ew nap.
The Rosallion/Regheeb double pays a shade over evens for those who like 'certainties'. Got to admit I'm struggling a bit with the Portland. I'm hoping to strike gold and have had a small ew on both
Nap Donny 1425 Aberama Gold
who has been, like the trainer, fantastic this season and may just not have acted on on the fast ground at York last time. He's off 100 now but did run Jakes fav Brian the Snail to half a length a while back off 101.
In the Leger I've had a bit on Continuous plus a small ew on Middle Earth and in a day for old friends (have a great day Joe) Sandrine ran a cracker last time. I'm hoping she won't do the dead cat bounce in 2nd time visor.
Have a great day, Joe.
3.35 Doncaster continuous
Ascot adventure 6.00M.
Nominal Event - 3.15 Chester
Hoping that the ground may have dried a little overnight and will take a chance with Badri 14:25 Donny EW Nap....Silly me...forgot that they may have watered overnight!!!!
Vintage Clarets (ew) - 14.25 Doncaster
Secret Handsheik from tracker. In form but very open race. Bath 16.00
Hope you ll have a great time Joe.
The Big Board 2.25 Doncaster is the nap,well done yesterdays winners. Enjoy the weekend Joe it's a lovely part of the country. My dad was from Crieff so we would visit Loch Earn often in our childhood although we never played on the golf course.
Doncaster 2.25 - Existent (each way)
I think Navan will be abandoned as it is close to Gowran where my nap would have been the Sue Magnier named 'Get' in the opener.
I had planned a Straight forecast with another Horse called 'In To The Groove ' even though I have never warmed to Madonna.
I then thought of 'Get In' in the Portland.
However my nap is the 15.00. Doncaster. Biggles. Win only.
The Jockey has permission to wear extra sized goggles and that's enough for me.
