Ahh, it's now been changed to 1min 16s, so they have noticed!

As I missed some races today, been catching up on replays, and it looks like there's something very odd about the Racing Post timing on the 4.20 at Ascot... According to them, Orazio won this 6f race, 10 seconds faster than the 5f race earlier! Not got the stopwatch out, but it seems more like about 1 min 10s than the 55s listed! And according to them, 24s faster than the 6f at 4.40. Looked a good performance, but not THAT good :P

Good stuff. Jason Weaver tipped him just before the race too. Whether it counts in comp or not, hopefully you got paid :)

A good run - I thought he was a good bet yesterday, after being backed into 7/1, but when I came to place bets today, I was shocked by 10/3, so started looking elsewhere... Thankfully ended up on Emiyn and Metier, who helped get my neck in front today! ( both doubled with horses though who finished nearer last than first :P)

Al Rufaa 1.30 CH nap

Having seen part of the Ukraine performance, I'm desperately hoping for a sympathy vote... and I'm more happy with my Moldova bet that was matched at 1,000-1

Eurovison anyone? Ukraine even massive odds on was a good bet last time. I've just bet Ukraine EW as 11/1 seems OK. and Croatia and Moldova as they were fun!

Well that was a non-runner, so I'll try: Lone Eagle nap 3.15Ch instead

Really struggling to find a decent priced runner today - and after looking through Chester, was not excited by other meetings today either! It's not fancied, but I'll try: True Statesman nap 2.05 Ch Positives: only course winner in the field, which was best performance, yard going fine, and Ryan Moore on board at Chester. A tiny bet (25/1) doubled with Look Out Louis, another with a great record at Chester.

I am a bit mystified by No Nay Never's stallion fee - 175,00 Euros! In 2016/2017 it was 17.500, and I don't see much evidence from sales, or progeny to justify the price. I get that the US/Scat Daddy line may make him a good mix with european bloodstock, but really? 175,000? Is it just Coolmore paying themselves this kind of money?!

I think it's an acute on the e at the end (past participle?) that makes it 'I've carried you', or 'I've been carrying you' - depending on context (which I'm sure you know). Will be in Brittany Sunday, where I hope I will not have to be carrying my brother!

Late today, for nap I'll take a chance on Electric Annie 7.15F

Finest View 7.00Lud nap

Destiny's Spirit 4.40W nap

Dubawi? Not enough stamina?

Very happy - it was all going wrong today, until Mawj completed my double with Chaldean! My usual small stakes, so nothing life-changing, but the best bet for a while and never had the Guineas double before, I think. I did think Tahiyra was going to get her too, so extra exciting... Surely, Tahiyra is going to be better, given Dermot Weld's caveats beforehand, and not all smooth in the race, so a great performance, I think. She's not grown a lot apparently from 2 to 3, but for a horse only just ready, and not loving the ground, that was solid. But today was Mawj's day :D

Another one where we're going to get a Saudi league, I think. Thank god they are saving so many sports.... :P

Haizoom 2.05H nap Doing it with Berkshire Rocco, who I keep hoping will show class that lurks. (But am a bit nervous of Cemhaan that seems to have been napped by a few 'professionals'.)

Surely Saudi Arabia would be better?! :P

Got close with two 33-1 shots today; Gis A Sub might of held on for 6th place I needed, if not so upset in the stalls. Also Dubai Mile, needed 4th, and a neck 5th to 150-1 shot. But I've liked Chaldean for a while and had 8-1, doubled with Mawj - we'll see....
