Sick as a pig here as well. It’s just kick in the balls after kick in the balls.
I won’t be backing anything now. This looks well sub standard with all the promising absentees.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
May 25, 2018 at 13:52 #1354936Regards the pedigree to Lah Ti Dar am I right in thinking the mother Dar Re Mi had her share of injury woes.? She only has a small sample of foals to go off but So Mi Dar suffered a set back, it’s just a thought and probably all coincidental.
De Treville 6 y/o 10 runs
So Mi Dar 5 y/o 7 runs
Erdogan 4 y/o 1 runCurse strikes again

May 25, 2018 at 17:53 #1354957A bit of a write off this race. Lost a fair bit on September but got some back on the cash out. Unfortunately I stuck that on Lah Ti Dar. She’s now out and whilst a small amount was NRNB, I lost a chunk.
But with Bet365 holding the normal prices but also being NRNB on the race, I’ve had a few quid on Sea of Class @ 7/1 and Sun Maiden @ 12/1.
I doubt either will run but if they do, they are going off half those prices. If I can get out without a loss here (either of those winning would do that), would be a miracle from the position I’ve got on this race.
May 25, 2018 at 20:36 #1354972It may well prompt Haggas and Stoute to reconsider, MOM. The race looks wide open now..

May 25, 2018 at 20:53 #1354973Yep that was my thinking Joni.
It’s a weak renewal now and surely Stoute and Haggas will be seriously considering it. Those prices at NRNB are huge.
May 25, 2018 at 21:58 #1354978Huge disappointment re Lah Ti dar but am already on Wild Illusion at 16/1 and have now added Perfect Clarity at 10/1 to my portfolio.
And I think that may be it unless I back a big price one come the day maybe Ejtyah
May 25, 2018 at 23:03 #1354982Gutted she’s out as was on so that just leaves me with Wild Illusion 16-1
May 26, 2018 at 14:14 #1355111I see Sea Of Class has made the 5 day entry. 7’s with Bet365 NRNB appeals. She is all class – is she ready though?

May 27, 2018 at 02:00 #1355164The owner is very keen to run apparently Joni.
7s NRNB was enough for a decent bet from myself. If she runs, she goes off nearer half that price.
May 27, 2018 at 17:16 #1355209I would love SEA OF CLASS to win this. She is beautifully bred and is owned by SEA THE STARS’ owners.
I worry the race comes so soon after the Newbury race. But as the owner says – there is only one OAKS. Tough decision for the trainer.
May 29, 2018 at 12:22 #1355300Had a go on Sea Of Class at 7s NRNB to go alongside my FT bet. Newbury win was incredible, won as she liked off a slow pace out the back and she looks like being ready for a hardy test like this. STS is also my favourite ever flat horse so seeing the family’s colours win again would be satisfying
May 29, 2018 at 13:14 #1355303We’re definitely going to have a soft ground Oaks and Derby so the better stayers may come into play. Anyone have any views on horses that would benefit from ease in the going?
May 29, 2018 at 13:46 #135530710mm from now until Saturday according to Windfinder?
That’s what they’d normally put down on the Thursday night to keep it Good ground for the Derby I’d have thought.
May 29, 2018 at 13:51 #1355309This is a minefield without soft ground…
May 29, 2018 at 21:53 #1355339With Magical possibly out, Haggas would be foolish not to let Sea of Class take her chance.
But I’m not confident he will. At least I’m on NRNB for my 7/1. That’s the only positive I have after he dissappintment of September and then Lah Ti Dars absences.
May 29, 2018 at 21:59 #1355341Saw the interview with Haggas today he said 50/50. The tone and manner of his response really meant 60/40 Sea of Class won’t run due to the ground. That was my perception
May 29, 2018 at 22:01 #1355342Wasnt my idea of the winner but my head is being to turned to Perfect Clarity. Only due to the Nathaniel connection because of the rain
