Whilst others sleep TAPK is usually up to something,mostly watching racing videos and generally studying………….for Cheltenham.Last evening I was watching 2 of my old July Cup winners performing though,
Stravinsky
and
Mozart
both had run over further previously but excelled dropped back to 6 furlongs.Those who read this judges work will know exactly whats coming……..
Cristoforo Colombo
! Yep,market forces are telling me this fellows ready to show just why I rated him as my 2nd best 2yo and granted fast ground he’ll put it down to the rapid ‘Lethal Force’ in Saturdays Sprint Cup at Haydock,I’ve snaffled the 20/1 with Corals and the 17’s on the machine and just hope the weather doesn’t turn now!
As you know I am not one for mid week racing but one of my old favourites runs tomorrow and is back down to a winnable mark, Piscean in the 750 Lingfield needs a small field, fast ground and a pace to chase, the hardest thing nowadays is keeping him interested during the race!! 25s was too big with 365 and I don’t think he will drift
My ‘Different Approach’ stance to betting on here is simple really,instead of chucking the odd score or 2 on everyday average horses I now top up my Ante-Post wagers,usually via Betfair.My Ante-Post portfolio is as busy as usual and horses like
Boston Bob
and
First Lieutenant
keep getting a fiver and tenner every week for the Gold cup.
Same Difference
is my Hennessey horse and he will return a 4 figure profit all being well.
Stubbs
is my 2000gns number 1 closely followed by
Berkshire
and
Tapestry
is the one for the 1000gns.My fav race of the year is the ‘Supreme’Nov hurdle and again I’m on 2 horses,
Tiger Cliff
and
Regal Encore
,the Jewson sees
Un Atout
as my long range fancy and the Champion hurdle has a 33/1 voucher with
My Tent or Yours
waiting to collect on it which incidentally is the biggest certainty of the year if he turns up.
Flintshire
is my Arc horse and I cant oppose him so there’s lots to look forward too.I’ll tell you now though, this false fav
Our Conor
wont be winning the Champion hurdle,Enough said!
Gord who wins derby next year then mate you still not give us this 3yo by sea the stars yet.
Also did you see my point on Gosden in terms of winning 2000 guineas as well.
Is BERKSHIRE a guineas or derby horse too heard people say could win both.I feel AUSTRALIA still be main derby bet for me he is

Australia is entered against Free Eagle this Saturday Darren, with Kingfisher and Wexford Town also among the entries. What are your thoughts on Free Eagle?

There’s a good half dozen
Sea the Stars
I could mention Darren but I’ll give you a couple to keep an eye out for called
Wild at Sea
, and
Stars so bright
!
Now next years Derby winner,I wasn’t going to say too much about the Derby as there’s a helluva lot of unraced 2yo’s to come but the forgotten horse this year isStubbs
,he’s a proper horse this fellow and anything he did over 5-6f was just letting the fizz out of him,we wont see the real horse until he’s stepped up considerably in trip.When he runs over a mile we’ll see the real deal and then we’ll see him stepped up to the trip he’s bred for and thats 11/2m.For a horse with such a strong stamina index and ‘Danehill Dancers’ are freaks of breeding,’Choisir’ a flying machine and ‘Forgotten Voice’ a 2 miler,then of course there’s the class horse
Mastercraftsman
,so I’m pretty excited still about my fellow.Incidentally if you look at Betfairs Derby market you’ll see that the 120’s have gone………..To me, but what do you expect from your King Darren!!
Berkshire
could easily be both too Darren,he’s a bit special aswell mate.
As for ‘Australia’??………You know if I say he’s got No chance,he’s lost………I’m saying nothing for now mate!I have to give a mention to my all time fav 2m Champion chaser
Direct Route
who sadly passed away today at 22yo. We all remember the day he was bloody robbed of a Queen Mother Champion Chase by the equally tough ‘Edredon Bleu’,jumping the last I was convinced Norman Williamson would get him home,he would have traded long odds-on coming to the last such was the way this fellow travelled.His highlight for me was winning the ‘Maghull Nov chase’ at Aintree under the coolest ride from Paul Carberry who suited this horses style of running,again he would have been odds-on that day in running such was the ease he sauntered round Aintree.Unfortunately Cheltenham wasn’t his course and neither was racing against ‘Flagship Uberalles’ who was definitley his adversary.I loved him and even though I never really won anything from following him he was just took one of those horses I too! RIP Pal.
Tommy this FREE EAGLE looks a top class horse but i do not think he win derby would not shock me if he gets a different owner by the time derby comes round too.
Hope AUSTRALIA runs this week at a 1m best trip for him at 2yo and then either go to Doncaster then put away for 3yo carear. with a derby trail in ireland ready for Epsom i told AOB what to do now wonder if he listen
Also gord any thoughts on racing in ireland this week is it irish champion stakes this week with THE FUGUE vs Declration of war and TRADING LEATHER. do you guys think Gosden can get a group one double in Ireland with ELUSIVE KATE too.
I’d hold those Irish Champ bets for a while Darren. They are now forecasting 25 inches of rain in Fri night/Sat! Could bring Al K and CDA back into contention and scupper DOW, TF and TL!
"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"

Wise words Joni.
Taking in to account value… I’d be more interested in backing AK if he runs (whatever the ground) and TF only on a sound surface. Both the Gosden filly and Bolger colt have such top-of-the-ground actions, suspect neither will run on softer than good.Value Is EverythingWhilst others sleep TAPK is usually up to something,mostly watching racing videos and generally studying………….for Cheltenham.Last evening I was watching 2 of my old July Cup winners performing though,

I’m keen on Cristoforo Colombo, too, Gordon, in the light of the very high speed figure (110) that he returned over 6f as a 2yr old, beaten just a length by Dawn Approach at Ascot in only his second race.
It seems likely to me that those Group 1s would have taken a lot out of Lethal Force; maybe too much. Especially against Moonlight Cloud. Seems Cirrus is not the same horse, after chasing Frankel home.
On SLADE POWER at 8/1 at weekend
And i already bet on TRADING LEATHER so i do a reverse rain dance i will do a dance to make sure rain stay at weekend.
Judge N Jury 205 EW at 20s, Intense Pink 350 EW at 66s, Passator 315 win 9/2 and unusually for me Montiridge 240 at 6/4 only Tawhid to beat
Incidentally, Soul, who they’ve bet large on lately, is a heavy ground flyer. And he’s no means sprinter, period.
Also, on the strength of Mordin’s write-up on Ernest Hemmingway last October, I believe, if he runs in the Melbourne Cup, I’ll want something on him.
