Nice to see you back Zarkava it is

Also chucked a few quid on APACHE to win derby at 40-1 Hills as i think he should win today and go on to better things.

I like History Note in that race i do won nicely last year.

Can’t blame Heffernan at all IMO. The race was just a nightmare for her. Caught up behind a slowing front-runner, had several horses bunched up around her and was being knocked, followed by a horse drifting over her left. Completely throw out the run.

Nice to see such an unexposed list of horses to follow, Canford.

Fiorente
World Domination
Suhaili
Garde Cotiere
Trade Commissioner
Eagles Peak
Maxios

Izzi Top
Kirinda
Morning Charm
Primevere

And Sunset Avenue’s one to follow in the latter part of the season.

Lovely ride by Joesph O’Brien on Empowering.

Such a shame that weight will cut short his riding career.

Apache travelled like a class horse but couldn’t find an extra gear and perhaps needs a furlong or 2 further. That said, Colm O’Donoghue was quite easy on him and I’m certain thsi colt will be winning very soon.

Cracking days racing at Leopardstown today. really enjoyed it.

Was impressed with the winner, Best Hello. That was a smashing debut performance. He won that easy and Apache was never going to get near him.

It’ll be interesting to see how Best Hello gets on in his next race. I bet his trainer is excited.

Many good selections in the thread thanks for the great notes.

small list of 3 from me

Carlton House

Wooton Bassett

Zoowraa

Catlton House = agree with forum members.

Wooton Basett =
Unbeaten in five starts as a two-year-old, in which he bagged connections more than £500,000 in prize-money.

Zoowraa = "She is clearly a smart performer in the making and should have little difficulty with another furlong next year, so a general quote afterwards of 16-1 for the 1,000 Guineas did not come as a surprise, especially considering how open the race looks at the moment. A note of caution was sounded by her connections, though, as she is not that big and will need to winter well to progress"

I’d love it if that rumour were true. Love it. His price collapsed around January. Unfortunately I missed the boat so I’m only on at 25s, perhaps foolishly. He’s wonderfully bred, but he’ll need to debut inside the next 3 weeks if he’s to have any Derby aspirations. Teddy Grimthorpe said to the AP a week ago that he’d done ‘precious little’.

3 out of 10 and Voodoo Prince is on my shortlist too, just didn’t mention him because he’s already so ‘exposed’, so 4/10. And people say trends are useless

Looking forward to John Oxx’s 3 year old Alanza in the Irish 1,000 Guineas. Lot to like about his maiden win.
