[Red Rum 77]

Had an excellent Royal Ascot, which sees me about 30 points below the leader for the year, hoping that Goodwood would be Glorious for me

More likely it’s back to normal and all the good work will be undone.

Here is my Tuesday’s selection for Goodwood, Ray

1.50 Migration (res Lucander)
2.25 Lucail (res Berkshire Shadow)
3.00 Space Blues & Creative Force (res Kinross)
3.35 Trueshan (res Stradivarious)
4.10 King Of Stars (Nap) (res El Astronaute )
4.45 Scattering (res Harb)
5.20 Nebulosa (res Urban Violet)
5.50 Gellhorn (res Lovely Breeze)

You've got to accentuate the positive.
Eliminate the negative.
Latch on to the affirmative.
Don't mess with mister in between.

Looks like my name isn’t running so will make Sunday Sovereign 4.10 my nap and add Nebulosa as my reserve in the 5.20.

Good Luck folks and looks like you may deserve points for picking one that runs

[Triptych]

Crikey Raymo the weather has certainly taken it’s toll on the runners today and there could be more so keep checking.

Luckily just have a couple of reserves not running so no changes at moment for me.

Just noticed dear old Paddy Power have slapped a 30p in the £ deduction on all my early bets last night.

Thanks again Raymo and good luck with finding winners today. Jac
