,having said that I do believe ‘Dawn’ will go off Odds-on come the day.
He seems to be drifting a bit worryingly tonight, touching a colossal looking 15/8 in places. Perhaps the good news is that Ladbrokes seem determined to keep him shorter at 5/4.
Toronado is as low as 7/4 now and despite his impressive debut this season, that looks mighty short odds.
Good luck, you are due a change of fortune after some close ones. I am waiting on Moohaajim with no confidence whatsoever!
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Good Luck tomorrow Gord….I hope DA goes in for you.
I have a small bet on CC at 20/1 based on you pointing me in his direction. Hopefully one or other hits the target.
D-day -2 and counting,this years 2000gns has suddenly gone Pear shaped,from what initially looked like being a stroll in the Park for the red hot fav
Dawn Approach
he’s now going to be lucky to even go off favourite!
If races were won on gossip then ‘Toronado’ is past the post,he’s in the form of his life,his Trainers won the race 3 times before,he’ll love the ground drying out,he’s won a hugely respected trial in the Craven stakes impressively and will not be stopping at the line,the build up in this past week or so is all about ‘Toronado’,’Toronado,’Torobloodynado’.If all this blusters true I’m in for a rough ride!Thanks for all the Good luck messages,I’m certainly going to need it!
You forgot to say he’s got the Champion jockey on board………
Good luck Gord.
Blackbeard to conquer the World
Good luck Gord but I have to admit I’ve bottled it and taken up Ladbrokes offer of a free bet and backed Toronado to win enough not to be worried in case DA blows out

Yes Nath your horse has everything going for it tomorrow,I am expecting Richard to do the opposite to what he’s renowned for and thats making all at a good gallop,when he’s at full tilt others will be rowing and he’ll go out with the mindset that he can gallop them all into the ground,I’m just hoping Kevin doesn’t over do the switching off bit as you cant give 10 lengths away and expect to make them all up inside the last furlong.I believe ‘Toronado’ is a galloper and I’m hoping that he can actually set it up for
Dawn Approach
to cut him down with a fierce turn of foot,Kevin will be at my fellow but if he gets the response I expect he’ll have too much speed for the Hannon horse,we’ll see tomorrow.
Best of luck Gordio!!! He’ll be there or thereabouts mate.

Cheers Gary,I can see why ‘Toronado’ is getting all the publicity,he is a serious horse but so too is ‘Cristoforo Colombo’ and I really do think he can make his prescence felt,if
Dawn Approach
and
Cristoforo Colombo
should battle it out between them I will be cheering home the big chestnut as this thread depends on him and 90% of my wagers are on the High St whereas my ‘Cristoforo’ money has 90% on the machine and I dont include those on here,irrespective of Money I hold
Dawn Approach
in the highest of regard and expect him to Win,if he does lose I hope its fair and square and not Jockey error I would be gutted to be robbed……….Again!
Best of luck Gordio!!! He’ll be there or thereabouts mate.
So will your fellow on this ground Joni,’Henrythenavs’ are different horses when they get fast ground,it should be a cracking race and I’m contemplating going,trouble is I have awful memories of going to see
One cool Cat
get totally stuffed when I was sitting on an Ante-Post lucky 15 with 3 winners up!
Good luck Gordon. The nerves must be there, but you’ll get the place money at worst. He has got lesser horses in the top 3 in the past. The ground won’t be a problem !
The very best of luck Gord. You know I’m a CC man but I’ve just backed Dawn Approach also, at a fraction of the prices you got – so first of all when done on that front
You’ve had the chance to lay off your stake and have sensibly done so but that will be little consolation if he gets beat! Fingers crossed! Good luck Gord, am on DA at 16/1 win only, only to small stakes but still enough to make it a ‘fillet steak night’ should he prevail. Have played it safe and layed my stake off but I’m queitly confident he’ll do it for us.
Enjoy the day.
D-day has arrived,I have written thousands of words about today but the time has come to let the horses do the talking.It is well documented on here that I have gone overboard on my horse and I can honestly say the last time I did that was in 1986 when a horse I saw win a Sandown Maiden in the Oct of 85 ran away with the 2000gns,what was his name again?Anyway I cant sit here for another 4 hours clock watching so I’m going to
pop
down to Newmarket and get some pictures of a Chestnut with a white blaze…………blazing home!
my next post on here will either be jubilant……Or not but either way thanks for all the Good luck messages,I know in my head how thingsshould pan out
,lets see!…………..
CONFIDENCE IS KING
