    I’m with Jac here in support of Magic Lily in the hope Godolphin can get back on track in this race after three consecutive Ballydoyle winners.

    She seemed very sensible on her first run. I thought she was set to win by a couple of lengths then very late on she seemed to twig what racing was all about and pulled clear for fun to win by 8. Looks to me to have a slightly high action but that win was on good.

    Doyle said the victory surprised as she hadn’t shown anything like that at home. Well, I’d sooner have it that way round than the other. I’ve had a small bet for The Oaks too: if it was on breeding they’d probably give her the trophy now being by a Derby winner (New Approach) out of Dancing Rain, the 2011 Oaks winner. Having said that, you need to look a long way back for the last Godolphin Oaks winner.

    There are only three certainties in life, death, taxes, and that godolphin will be god awful in the classics :wacko:

    Now I know that this might seem a daft question but why is Nyaleti 25/1 and Laurens only 8/1 when there was only two heads between them last time ??

    Maybe Nyaleti is another one that is overpriced at 25/1.

    I am looking at the bigger prices here because I think the front ones are all much of a muchness and this could end up a result race.

    AOB has three in it and the price differential is next to nothing so maybe they don’t know which is the best so how are we supposed to work it out!! LOL

    Love the way botchy is aftertiming the biggest possible price, thought you had all your accounts closed mate?

    What are you talking about, 6/1 is still available, i took the best price available what do you expect, take 4/1 ?

    Who said i had all my accounts closed down, had 2 closed down effectively ?

    Paddy Power are going 25/1 Efaadah so I’ll have a bit of that as well, it’s a crazy price for a filly with not much to find to be in the places at least.

    Happily is a worthy favourite but 11/10 is a bit skinny for me.

    September is a big worry for me out to 6/1, there is nearly always a reason for a drift.

    Laurens at 12/1 also seems to have lost a leg. I feel she may well be outpaced in this company.

    A tricky sort of race and that is why I am playing at big odds. If Paddy Power are right, the other O’Brien fillies are just making up the numbers to Happily.

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    fair enough botchy but seems like noone ever admits to doing a losing bet on here- aftertiming too rife for me. :negative:

    Are you actually moaning about after timing before a race? On a thread of people stating what bets they’ve placed BEFORE the race?

    Seems a strange time to bring it up tbh

    I think the September drift is almost definetely because of the fact that happily and Magical are running when a few days back, that looked unlikely.

    Yes I am, mainly because people like yourself never admit to losing bets

    always biggest price :negative:

    I said throughput I was waiting on the weather before placing my bet.

    If any rain came, I wasn’t betting September. As it hasn’t and she’s been declared, I’ve backed her this afternoon. It’s absolutely no secret that I’m a fan of the filly.

    If you choose not to believe I’ve backed her or whatever you are moaning at, that’s your issue.

    The fact you are moaning about aftertiming despite me quite clearly stating when I’ve backed her and before the race, I don’t know what the problem is.

    I wouldn’t waste your breath MoM, figuratively speaking. Although after-timing is annoying (even though nobody on this thread is guilty of it), incessant petulance is doubly so.

    Uh, taking 25/1 about Quivery doesn’t look so sharp now that 33/1 is freely available after final decs. Never mind, I’m on so I’m on!

    I feel sorry for those who took the 5/2 and 9/4 about September thinking she would be the Ballydoyle banker and now she’s 6/1 and looking like a ‘making up the numbers’ type.

    Fact Coolmore were thought to be relying on September and are now running both Happily and Magical, must be a negative for the former.

    O’Brien always sounded like he’d go with one of the two that ran in France to join September in fairness. Suprised he ran then both though. Three cracking bullets to fire at this race.

    She was always a bit short at 9/4 when it was likely one of the other two would run and that would make her drift. Of course, running both means she then drifts even further. 9/4 was too short with other rivals likely, but 6/1 is too big here. That’s my stance on the race.

    Coral go 7/1 September now. How big does she need to get before it starts looking bad news bears?

    Its always bad news when shes the least fancied of the obrien 3, but at 7/1 on better ground shes edging towards a decent e/w punt

    Only 3 horses have finished infront of her in 4 races and two of whom are in this race have done so twice, its common sense that bookmakers will try and push her out as far as they can under those circumstances
