    The best maidens are run at the best tracks.

    I can remember a crappy maiden at Yarmouth in which Salse beat Persian Heights.

    The Coolmore horse was very impressive today and looks the one to beat at Epsom, given that he was expected to improve for today’s outing.

    Imo I’d say Mida’s Touch isn’t in APOB’s top 3 mile and a half horses!

    There hasn’t been flat racing at Punchestown since 2001 – the year they had all the trouble with the drainage. High Chaparral was beaten on his racecourse debut there by a short head by a horse of Kevin Prendergast’s. I think he won his maiden down at Limerick Junction a week or two later.

    Edinburgh Knight is currently lying second on 16% to St Nicholas Abbey’s 17% in the Racing Post poll, so we just need a couple of more votes to push him into the lead. :mrgreen:

    Anyone else rate Godolphin’s Zeitoper as a Derby outsider, three out of three including a course win,33-1 on offer

    This looks remarkably like a ‘Lammtarra’ Derby.

    Zeitoper could be exactly the type of horse I am looking for to win this year. Lammtarra won at 16-1 on the day – well that’s what I had!

    He will need to be supplemented so I’ll be waiting to see if he is.

    :D :D

    Fry – he is entered…and 33’s but it’s looking like he won’t be going…on entries at least – it’s all speculation!

    Are you thinking that one of the ‘transfers’ from France might run and that’s why you’re waiting for a price?

    ‘Rewilding’ is entered up for the ‘Cocked Hat’ race at Goodwood on Wednesday…

    This thread gone a bit quiet…everyone waiting for Tom’s tip tomoz – I guess?! :D

    What chance do you think of Rain Forest if he turns up, looking at pedigree and running form he obviously likes good/firm and is used to an undulating track. I have not heard him metioned anywhere else which is a little surprising as Rain Forest appears to fit the bill for a Derby horse.

    The Question i have to start asking is where are all the English Classic Horses gone?

    Irish had First 5 Home last year
    New Approach the year before
    7 of the last 9 2000 Guineas exported

    Where has all the High Class English Horses gone….Authorized was the last real Top English Middle Distance Horse but apart from that i can’t remember many.
    Really Disappointing the lack of Depth in the English Division.

    The Fruits of the Boycott on Coolmore Stock has really hurt the English classic generation the past few years.

    Anyone know what on earth is the reason for the price changes on the machines?

    Fencing Master 80s – 50s
    Jan Vermeer 44s – 27s
    Midas Touch 15s – 9s

    Cape Blanco, now 9.6!

    Whats the craic?

    I assume the backers are all just anticipating good performances over the weekend.
