I’m doing the Diomed form now, hopefully I’ll get a look at the Goodwood race later.

Re the Diomed, Alexandros sticks out, especially based on his form with Fabre.
Can Dettori not do the weight perhaps?
June 6, 2008 at 12:36 #166771Penalty kick for Getaway. Gosh – that sounds a lot better than calling him a lock, a declaration, or a good thing.
June 6, 2008 at 13:02 #166777When do you sleep Mr Deering?
June 6, 2008 at 13:07 #166778Too much racing – too little sleep time.
Small things bug me with Aussie broadcasts of international racing. Like the bloke who called it the "Juddmonty Oaks". And another goose who was talking about horses who had just finished a race at Epsom as "heading to the start".
June 6, 2008 at 13:08 #166779Crud – my online broadcast has contractual restrictions that prevent me from watching the Epsom card. Any ideas of where to watch it live online? And for free????
June 6, 2008 at 13:28 #166783It’s on free to air on the BBC here- see if anyone carries the Beeb over there.
June 6, 2008 at 13:45 #166790Betfair if you place a bet or RP betting site (will cost) are options if no BBC.
June 6, 2008 at 13:58 #166791go to internet explorer at sporting life audio site for a live delayed broadcast of sound and Utube later on in the day you should find the video.That is the price of no cost racing sorry.
June 6, 2008 at 14:06 #166794Reading Paul Haigh’s blog – I don’t think I want to watch the Beeb’s coverage.
June 6, 2008 at 14:38 #166801Getaway got snookered, I hear? Crap. I just did my arse on him.
I reckon H-Y-P-E is more of a drug that sweeps you away then any actual drug like LSD or ecstasy or peyote.
You can’t see me, but I just went outside and threw a branch from my backyard with the hope of landing on Magnier’s head. Stupid Coolmore.
June 6, 2008 at 14:40 #166802Yeah – I hate Coolmore. They don’t win races, they just manipulate them.
June 6, 2008 at 14:41 #166803Very annoyed when you feel you read a race well, a lot better than the majority and a jockey makes a mess of it.
What was Hughes doing trying to make up 12 lengths on horses rated on the mid 120’s????
June 6, 2008 at 14:42 #166804Getaway just didn’t have the pace to get away (pardon the pun) from Soldier Of Fortune and Murtagh rode a superb race as ever. Good horse as Getaway is I was surprised he went of favourite over Soldier Of Fortune given that Getaway still hasn’t won a G1 and he’s a 5yo. Still it made the Soldier a backable price.

Youmzain as ever placed, one of those horses who is always just going to find one better.
Cracking race.
June 6, 2008 at 14:43 #166807I’ve not been enamoured with Hughes rides on Majestic Roi or Youmzain. Pulled MR’s head off to get her plumb last, marvellous.
June 6, 2008 at 14:44 #166809Getway was not good enough plain and simple.

June 6, 2008 at 14:44 #166810Yeah – I hate Coolmore. They don’t win races, they just manipulate them.
They did their home work what is wrong with that?
Song Of Hiawatha made the running, the stayer McCarthur tracked him and the horse with the foot sat in and waited. Perfect tactics.
I wouldn’t mind but it didn’t take a brain surgeon to work out what tactics were going to be employed by the Ballydoyle team.
