Backed Knight To Behold. I think he’s a big enough price, is bred for the trip and looked impressive LTO.
Like Mike, I got a free Derby bet. Bet365 emailed an offer to match any bet placed at
Epsom yesterday and today, with a free bet to the same stake up to £50 in the Oaks and
the Derby. I used it yesterday, and having already bet Saxon Warrior at 33s and Young
Rascal at 20s, I’ve picked up an E/W on Kew Gardens at 33s. I’m more than a little
hopeful I that should get something back……but I’ve said that before
The ground is now given as Good.
That will help Roaring Lion and the favourite but make life harder for the Derrinstown runners and Young Rascal, who all look like stamina is their forte.
If I was convinced Masar would stay, I would pop him in for the Tricast but I have a feeling he will run out of petrol. He just doesn’t look a stayer at all to me.
Young Rascal and Dee Ex Bee look dour stayers to me and could end up being too far back to be involved. They were both pushed along from a long way out at Chester in the Vase.
In the end I have gone for Hazapour for the Tricast spot. I don’t see him as an each-way play because he doesn’t strike me as being able to win it and the odds were getting ridiculously skinny durning the week. I think he can improve more than Delano Roosevelt and I feel he may be able to hold his position better that the big, dour looking colt from Ballydoyle.
1. Saxon Warrior
2. Roaring Lion
3. HazapourLays Young Rascal, Delano Roosevelt and Masar and all to a place as well.
May the best horse win and hopefully we see a good winner. Good luck.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
The Dash was hand timed but was Fast by 0.14 seconds.
Generally 8/11 now for Saxon Warrior.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Fantastic, got a good run for my money on roaring lion just didnt quite get there!
I didnt think SW would get home and he didnt quite
And mike, he wouldnt have won regardless.
They went a very fast pace (as per Simon Rowlands), possibly because of Kew Gardens pushing Knight To Behold the whole way. Drew the stamina out of Saxon Warrior, a doubtful stayer, in my opinion. Team tactics have conspired against Saxon Warrior here.
Well done Masar supporters and commiserations to those on AP big prices Saxon Warrior. Keen in running but Buick got him nicely settled and you could see he was coming to win it two furlongs from home, lovely horse..should have backed him but stayed faithfully to Roaring Lion who ran a cracker.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...A poor ride from Moore but the horse just never travelled the way he would have anticipated.
The bubble burst big style there and any thought of the St Leger was blown out of the water there.
I couldn’t see Masar staying this but he proved me completely wrong and both he, and Roaring Lion have turned it right around from the Guineas.
The Guineas was the race, with only Dee Ex Bee coming from the trials.
A cheap losing Derby for me, with just the one horse at 33/1 and 66/1 in the race. I lost £15 on those two bets.
Who would have thought that the Derby winner was lurking tailed off at Meydan back in the spring, running to a mark of 22?
Well done to all people who had him.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
I think they will be insane if they take Saxon Warrior to the Irish Derby. He surely needs to drop in trip.
He was beaten a long way out today, not the same horse who killed them off quickly in the Guineas. I had accepted that he was beaten very early in the race.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
