Frank Warren draw the first ball out which was the number for a horse and put it in with the balls that were getting drawn out for stall numbers… 😂😂😂
Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Moore confirmed for Benvetuno Cellini, Soumillon takes over on Pierre Bonnard, Wayne Lordan on Action who I presume will go off quick from the beginning like he did Sunday.
Christmas Day – 14/1 EW
By Camelot out of a Sea The Stars mare.
He disappointed behind Item and Action last time on unsuitable ground he will thrive on the softer going and extra distance.
Jac ✨️🐎Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I’m swerving the Ballydoyle colts in this race and have backed James J Braddock at 8/1 WIN and had also small EW savers on Poker at 200/1 and Rebel Rocker at 100/1. Not that I think the last two would be great horses, but strange things can happen in a Derby and if you avoid the Lads you can take a risk on such outsiders.
I’ll be tickling Poker as the yard aren’t one to throw to many at this , the main bet is Maltese Cross , Haggis knows the time of day and that Lingfield Trail has produced plenty derby winners
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
Item is my selection. Should be stronger this time. Done his best work in the last furlong of his Dante win. The extra 2 furlongs will suit him. This horse even has mannerisms of Dad when he walks around the paddock.
Frankel has got the Oaks with Thundering On. Item to follow up…
I was very strong on item and believe he has the highest ceiling of these by some way
But he has a clean top of the ground action and the ground has gone against him
Iv read he was pulled out of the futurity due to the ground which backs that up
So small stakes and hoping to get a nice price on better ground next time
Frankly several of these horses shouldnt be allowed to run. If you are rated in the low 90s all you are going to do is get in the way of something that has a chance.
Perhaps a kentucky derby style of winning points in trials to get in is the way forward
“Frankly several of these horses shouldnt be allowed to run.”
🤦♂️
Not this again.
The history of racing would be all the more boring without the likes of Norton’s Coin, Qirat and Cicero’s Gift.
Besides, where would you draw the line? 100? 110? 120?
Only Camelot ante post left in for me are Pierre at 4s and Xmas Day at 50s.
My other Sire special will be Item at 9/2 as it would be the first Frankel winner in the Juddmonte silks.Top 6 finish on Alderman @ 9/2 with Hills.
I’ve added Action ew to my Christmas Day AP bet, I think he’ll let himself down on the ground better than he did at York and should stay.
With all this rain I am starting to think that Pierre might be the one of Aidan’s now – I think 12F is the minimum trip he wants (won over 10F as a two year old on very soft ground).
The favourite hated the heavy ground at Doncaster last season and has a fast ground action to boot so the more rain that falls the less it will suit, Item is unproven on the ground but I note his dam did win one of her three races on soft ground when trained here and the half brother won twice on good to soft.
Ground on the far side is quicker based on the result of the just run Princess Elizabeth Stakes – brave move by Laura Pearson on Sparks Fly but boy did it pay off, won it by miles. Think the field will stay far side now.
