That went like clockwork for once, and was confident the whole way round. Always liked her, proper notebook horse, and pleased she hit a big one. Those two Antepost bets were a bit knee jerk, caught up in the moment, and as I said, certainly now in the cold light of day, it’s seems highly unlikely she’ll go to either of those races.
The only niggle I had, was not taking the 16’s, especially when she made the shortlist on the thread, even before the entries, but I suppose I would never have taken that anyway, given she’s always very risky Antepost
Some days racing ahead.
Born at Midnight my big hope, but seems too good to be true, while although Pied Piper is a target horse of mine this year, this doesn’t feel like the target. The stables other Giggs runners, Will Do and Search For Glory were close to being bet, but in the end I chose Favori De Champdou.
I’ve got a god awful record in The Greatwood, but I’ve taken a profit on Laafi which has made a decent dent in my stakes, and went with Faivoir and Dedicated Hero. Faivoir is a regular on these threads, but god knows if this is the plan. Sandy Thomson was a regular on these threads, but I tend to swerve his now on the whole, and he’s very costly to follow. Dedicated Hero is his best just now, though I’d have preferred Haydock for him. Maybe noteworthy that he heads here.
Finally, a horse I’m really excited about. Kim Roque. Think he could be very good
