Nothing’s certain in this game, is it? Fair along was 30lbs well in, on the basis of his best NH rating, and was beaten into second.
The ones I fear most are Plymouth Rock and Admiral Barry.
aye they made the shortlist
funny race this year given the high OR of the bottom weight
Anyone else fancy Channon’s Montaff? Had a small bet on him tonite, after picking up £140 on him at Ripon the other week. Also had small wagers on Plymouth Rock, Halla San and La Vecchia Scuola for tomorrow.
4 small bets and yet Chester is not one of my favourite racecourses to bet on – the draw bias is v telling here IMO. Not sure if that draw bias is so pronounced over 2 miles though.
I am on DARLEY SUN as well i hope he wins had 6 2nd places today shocking luck today
Red Cadeaux was badly hampered in the race last year but has got a good draw today. However, 6/1 isn’t my sort of price and my computer is running so slow today I can’t look at the race properly.
Delighted that
Mystery Star
has made the race – not so happy with stall 16. Will love the ground and looked a very smart handicapper in 2009. Back in the winning groove on AW last year, but looks up against from a poor draw.
Admiral Barry
is a helluva lot better than his Cesarewitch effort and was most progressive last year. Has a nice perch in stall 4, has form on fast ground and has the assistance of Johnny Murtagh.
50/1 Together – narrowly touched off in the Guineas.
50/1 Mystery Star – fine third in Chester Cup.
That’s how I roll.
You feel so grateful to a horse as willing as that, when it wins for you.
I was in stitches hearing the various commentators repeating what I’d said: "What a marvellous horse!", having more than a vague suspicion they’d had a few baubies on him as well.
Absolutely, Grimes.
Lovely way to win dosh if you were on – he just would not capitulate and scampered around those turns like a greyhound.

Is no-one gonna say it? No? Ok, fine, I will.
The jockeys bar Ahern, Dickie Hills and Frankie should be ashamed of themselves. Utterly embarrassing. Overturn effectively became a 6/4 shot when they finished half a lap. People slate Richard Hills but at least he understands about pace in a race. Dettori tried to do it too but couldn’t go with them.

Fair enough he might’ve had the cop on not to let Ahern steal a big lead but when he was hanging on overturnss cloaktails,seemingly travelling better than overturn,i never had a seconds worry because i was that confident if Ahern had any horse under him at all he’d hold off Hills-he’s that weak in a finish!
