1000 Guineas 2012

fuming. sent an email to my mate last night that it might sound crazy but gonna back homecoming queen, then today i bottle out and only have 4 quid on it. massive missed opportunity

godolphin horses were hopeless, all at sea on that ground but in hindsight were probably overrated anyway.

starsccope ran well so good call there but i think maybe’s run shows that taking short prices on horses in classics is not a good idea. just not a long-term winning strategy, despite camelot yesterday, when you think she got absolutely slammed by her unfancied stablemate.

Well at least you won, judged by the ‘surprising’ (given her profile) support from 33/1 to 20/1 somebody had more more than a few quid on.

One of the most unsatisfactory Classic races I have seen with the delay and then the race being won by the ‘second-string’ in the style of a world-beater.

You are right about the short prices, increasingly so when Coolmore are involved. They don’t mind which one they win with. As for Maybe everyone seemed to think she was very solid beforehand but her response when asked to pick up was very tame. You would hope that wasn’t down to fitness.

The winner was seriously impressive. Difficult to see anything reversing form IMHO.

As for both Godolphin runners, surely that was too bad to be true, ground or otherwise.

I wonder will Ryan Moore keep the ride on HQ in the upcoming season?Just goes to show how poor predictors of horses jockeys can be.Joseph O’Brien rides out every morning and still watched the wrong horse head the betting for the Guineas.He must have believed the headlines, written by who knows?

I’m pretty dead sure if Moore was Ballydoyle’s first jock he would have been picking Maybe ahead of a filly who was at her 14th run and I think took eight runs to break her maiden, and I’m pretty sure any other jockey for the matter. Believed the headlines seriously? Pretty much anyone on this forum would have identified Maybe as the most likely of the Ballydoyle pair. Wonder if you were saying the same when Murtagh was getting it wrong with his picks. Your posts about Joseph are ridiculously predictable, biased and tedious. Not a word about his inch-perfect, top-class ride yesterday, and yet you come here spouting such shite at the first opportunity today. Predictable, biased and tedious.

I fear for your health if Joseph ends up getting a Guineas-Derby double on Camelot, nevermind a triple crown.
