Yep Jac Popmaster ran a cracker, we both did well out of him 
In the last I couldn’t make my mind up about between Aurora Majesty
and Colombier. In the end I put them the wrong way round with Colombier
winning it at 12/1. I was well ahead in the day so I couldn’t resist
putting an e/w on Colombier at 16/1…..

Pity I didn’t swap them on my Pick3. I’d only have been 1 point off
MICKEYJP’S derriere with the 27 points. Anyway, I had the option and
MICKEYJP played a blinder. I’m more than happy with any podium place
and it was only day 1 after all. It’s the big day today
I’ve just spent about 2 hours going through what I can only describe
as the worst Derby I’ve ever seen. There’s nothing that shows the type
of real class that normally sticks out like a sore thumb. Believe it or
not, the only horse that I can see improving over 1m 4f is one that should
not even be entered here. But I’m only going by my eyes, so I’ve had a bit
of 100/1 on Rebel Rocker. 80/1 e/w with Bet365 also. I’ve tried so hard to
find reasons not to back him, but my gut reckons he has a real chance of
a place, even although all sense tells me that it’s a horse trained by
someone who can’t win a Derby and a jockey who has so little knowledge of
running in a race like this. The rest are just so average.
I suppose the only proper chance, because the rest are poor, is Item who
I’ve used a bit of my sensible head based on his last run where he seemed
not to know what he should be doing, but eventually just took off in the
last furlong.
4.00 Epsom Item 6.5 (11/2) with Betfair
4.00 Epsom Rebel Rocker, 100/1 Betfair and 80/1 e/w with Bet365.
Good luck everyone
