Thursday August 3rd 2023

Personally , I consider today's Goodwood a good result - Chesspiece winning would have put me in profit, but 2nd doubled with a 3rd got me 94% of my stake back :)

(although Entrancement was 3rd coming into the home straight, then faded to last like a true 50-1 shot!)

My nap Zarak The Brave won the 17.05. Galway. 9/2.

Desert Hero won at 7/1.

Final Frontier 20:15 New'C EW Nap

Mrs Mee was out of luck last evening.

Hoping for better today, NAP Merlin Giant 5.05 Galway.

I think Blue Rose Cen is very good and expect her to win the Nassau today and shorten up for the Arc for which she looks an ideal type. The daughter of Jeremy likes soft ground and the dam did too - she also won over 12f.

Goldsborough 1.50 Goodwood

Hope you have found a cosy snug there away from the ghastly Royal London Hospital crew who loiter there talking shop.

Today's Trivia

Burdett Road (Goodwood 3.00), for those unfamilar with London's East End, runs due south from Mile End to Limehouse. The northern end is close to where the first doodlebug to hit London in the Second World War fell, destroying a terrace of housing and a railway bridge. The Gredleys also own a filly called Mile End with Michael Bell, but Burdett is better. The East End is Bill Gredley's stamping ground and mine too these days, though I've never seen him drinking in The Blind Beggar.

I'm probably crazy, but my nap is Lunatick ew in the 16:45 at Goodwood.

Went to Goodwood yesterday and, weather aside, it was an enjoyable day. Some of that was down to backing the first winner which virtually guarantees to put a spring in your step for the rest of the afternoon. Especially when it's 25/1...!

Today I'm very tempted to go with I'm Spartacus if only to see if it sets off a chain reaction with other contributors! However, I'll take a chance with Desert Hero in the 15.00 at Goodwood.

Joe, my selection yesterday was a non-runner because Redcar was abandoned. As I was otherwise engaged I didn't choose anything else. Does that give me a tenner in the returns column? (I know that's a bit desperate but the way I'm going on this forum it could be my only return come the end of the month!)

Interesting to see Ryan Moore Jocked off from APOB to JPOB in the Nassau Stakes by the lads.

Tom Marquand is now on the 33/1 shot Never Ending Story and will lead.

Can Tom Marquand steal a lead?

When did he last do it?

Never Ending Story to hang on to second place to her familiar adversary Blue Rose Cen in a straight forecast is my bet of the day.

My nap is Zarka The Brave.

17.05. Galway. Win only.

The Glorious meeting is offering me little reward at minute so im going horses for courses with Aliomaana in the Stratford 16.18. Quite fancy RM in the first at goodwood - its an obvious pick clearly but dont like my nap getting beaten too early! Good luck everyone.

Entrancement EW 1.50G nap

Had a small EW bet to 5 places at 50-1 yesterday - I expect her to finish 6th :P

4.45 goodwood naval academy ew

John Chard VC 4.45 Goodwood is the nap,well done yesterday Savioieblue. Shortly after the Derby I backed Artistic Star for the St Leger,he has only shortened a little since then so If he does not win the 3.00 I think I can rip up my ticket.

Joe, I sent you a message on Members Chat..............

Conner down to Goodwood for a ride in the first

Nap 1350 Coverdale

I wasn't going to bring up cheese again but Blue Rose Cen could be similar to Roquefort which makes her more appealing and may add to the year group debate.

Paddington was superb again, as was Moore, so it will be interesting to see where he goes. I would expect him to turn up in the Arc as I reckon its a no lose for 'the lads'. If he doesn't win it was either too far or a bridge too far, but if he does he'll be bracketed with Frankel and Sea the Stars.

Bialystok. Galway 5.05.

Naval Academy - 16.45 Goodwood
