    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?

    Penalty kick for Getaway. Gosh – that sounds a lot better than calling him a lock, a declaration, or a good thing.

    Too 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".

    Crud – 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????

    It’s on free to air on the BBC here- see if anyone carries the Beeb over there.

    Betfair if you place a bet or RP betting site (will cost) are options if no BBC.

    go 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.

    Reading Paul Haigh’s blog – I don’t think I want to watch the Beeb’s coverage. :lol:

    Getaway 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.

    Yeah – I hate Coolmore. They don’t win races, they just manipulate them.

    Very 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???? :roll:

    Getaway 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.

    I’ve not been enamoured with Hughes rides on Majestic Roi or Youmzain. Pulled MR’s head off to get her plumb last, marvellous.

    Getway was not good enough plain and simple.

    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.
