Some nice looking bets in here Boz! Especially that 7/1 about MTOY and the Double with Bobs Worth.
Hadn’t realised Magician was as short as 9/4 this weekend, I think he should be in with a great chance as the as the opposition doesn’t look particularly strong in my eyes.
Any bets this weekend?

Thanks for that Ben
It should be a whole year full of intrigue and bitten nails as I’ll be continuously chipping away at my long term prospects.My Tent Or Yours
is a key member of my army ready to raid Cheltenham next year and I’m very confident he will be next year’s Champion Hurdler.
Nothing down for this weekend but I’m keeping my eyes peeled for this
Cape Peron
getting priced up for the Britannia at the Royal meeting. Bloody Stan James told me twice yesterday they’d have a market formed by this lunchtime. When I phoned them mid-afternoon asking for an update they told me I’d received ‘wrong information’ which put my nose out of joint somewhat
Was ready to jump in with both feet before hearing that! If you haven’t seen him Ben I’d recommend finding a video of his most recent outing at Doncaster. Joni was ranting and raving about him so much on his thread I thought I’d better see what all the fuss was about, now I understand - Total Posts 764
The potential improvement we could see from MTOY over the summer leaves the mouth watering!! He was complete class this term and simply cannot wait to see him again in the Winter, going to have to go to Cheltenham next year for the Champion Chase! It really is a must do.
I think I read Jonis posts about Cape Peron too and also watched his most recent race on ATR, if I remember correctly he cruises past the opposition with complete ease and shows a smart turn of foot when the race is already his. I too will be more than happy to put my fair share on him! Looks like one of the top prospects at the moment for sure.

That’s the one Ben! By the sounds of it if he finishes with 29 rivals behind him at Royal Ascot this site might just crash for an hour
Aye aye aye I’m champing at the bit to get stuck more into
Un Atout
. This flat season is testing my patience…….
I’ve heard of German
efficiency
, but watching ITV I hope this
Chopin
isn’t as disappointing next Saturday!
Presumably you saw on of Un Atout’s Punchestown victims, Sizing Rio, make an impressive debut over fences Boz?

My
Un Atout
is certainly
an asset
Tommy, and I believe you feel the same way about the horse. This boy is set for big things and I would bet ‘Mrs Boz’ that he’ll be following in the footsteps of
Sir Des Champs
and heading for the Jewson. He reeks of class and so long as he takes to fences, which we all hope and expect him to, he’ll be in the winners’ enclosure in March
This boy’s going to make me rich!
One of my ‘2 year olds to watch’, Aidan O’Brien’s
Friendship
is down to run this Sunday at Listowel. I’ll be watching keenly to see if he lives up to my billing
Because of my ongoing persistance this lad’s already been priced up for the Classics
Not my finest hour in searching for the better unraced 2 year olds across the land
Not quite sure just what my obsession is with finding the next superstar before they’ve even hit the track but I could probably do with ending it sooner rather than later You never know, thisFriendship
could return next time out a rejuvenated figure having had his first racecourse experience……..or not
I could just pack it all in now for the summer and wait for
my
game to return October-November time. But then again, that would be all too easy wouldn’t it…..
All this talk of an ante-post competition elsewhere has led me to neglect my own thread
In all honesty though what it has made me do is trawl deeper and deeper into next years’ jumps markets. The sooner November comes the better!On a different note and more relevant to the flat season we have ahead of us, I must just take a moment to say what a loss to racing we’ve seen today with the sad if not painfully inevitable passing of the great Sir Henry Cecil. He’s at peace now, but thanks for all the great memories great man, you’ll be sadly missed.
RIP Sir Henry Cecil 1943-2013
For those who put the time in, the effort in, the endless hours of phoning firms and being a general pain in the a*se trying to salvage a couple of extra points on one of their leading fancies, all that work is generally rewarded. I currently feel like the cat that got the cream as all of last night an all this morning I’ve been on the blower to every Tom, Dick and Harry in this punting industry after a price for one of next week’s leading fancies
Cape Peron
. I knew that it would take an extraordinary effort to get anything better than around the 8/1 mark, and when William Hill stood firm on 8/1 I thought my fate had been sealed. ‘Not a bad price considering he’ll go off around the 7/2 mark’ I thought, but I still wasn’t done there
Several other phone calls ensued with me claiming that Billy’s had offered 10s and could anyone beat it. The bookmakers stood their ground, they weren’t giving me an inch. They all know that this lad could potentially run away with this off a mark of 100 so my options were wearing thin. A moment of divine intervention followed when I received an email from William Hill, from a girl I’d earlier spoken to on the live chat concerning the price of a certain
Cape Peron
. Puzzled, I opened the email to find that they were now offering me 10/1 for him
Crossed wires in the Billy Hills trading room maybe, but this was not a mistake I was about to let go unpunished………..All in all a good mornings’ work

And now for the pièce de résistance……….
I just received an email from William Hill saying, and I quote,"Our odds-compilers now advise the price is 8/1". Did I just break William Hill?
Too late now boys, too late now………..
Yikes! Henry Candy on
Cape Peron’s
Ascot hopes –
"I’m very concerned about the ground for Cape Peron and if it’s quick I would have to take him out."
That’s the game I suppose, you live by the sword you die by the sword. Anyone for a raindance?
In for a penny in for another £20…………

An interesting bit of group action at Cork today sees Jim Bolger’s talented filly
We’ll Go Walking
finally get the step up in trip she so truly needs to show her best. She finished a remote last last time out over a very inadequate trip of a mile and I’ve been banging Jim’s door down to get her over a mile and half ever since(hypothetically speaking of course
). It’s a tricky little race but I think she has a fair each-way chance, even if our Kev has deserted her.We’ll Go Walking
