Even more money in the street at 6/4 currently.
Oddly enough, I agree with your other blind stab for today, too

Not confident Workforce will do the business tonight KF?
Pants,the day i take a word Sir Michael says as gospel is the day i go broke,if i fell for his massive negativety regarding
Workforce
last year i would never have got near the prices i did,42’s for the Arc was my biggest,i hope he wins in the style of the horse i always said he was but at the price tonight i can afford to enjoy his presence,i remember Sir Michael being just as negative about a filly called Russian rhythm before she went and won the 1000gns,i dont like admitting it but i backed her at 5/1 for that race months before the event,she won at 12’s,good ol Stoutey eh!
As much as i’m looking forward to Epsom,my 2nd fav festival of the year is Royal Ascot and i have been noting horses for particular races for months now,

in the Coronation stakes would be Fridays banker,i nailed her in last years Albany,this years race is on the agenda for
Lilys Angel
,she wouldn’t be out of place in the Queen Mary over a furlong less but i am hoping
Lexington spirit
turns out to be the flying machine she looks.
Never ever surprised with anything Dandy does ROFL
Hopefully he will send him there and NOT have that clown of a son riding whi has never ridden a winner at the 2 day Derby meeting!!

Do I have to remember Russian Rhythem’s 1000?
I had a big bet @ 16/1 Six Perfections! Got murdered on the rail and came around the whole field. Would’ve won without the trouble. May be I am biased, but at the end of the year, Timeform rated the French horse 1 lb higher than Stoutey’s. 
Value Is EverythingGinge,i spoke to Corals enquiring about an e/w bet on Akmal tonight,they said they would lay me a maximum bet of £250 e/w at 4/1 and 3places at 1/5th odds.I said he’s a one paced plodder who needs to hear his feet rattle,thanks but no thanks!
Zarkava,..Very bullish remarks to suggest
Carlton House
wont win another race should he win the Derby,i couldn’t dissagree more,i see him as a major player in the Derby but i dont see him being suited to the whole ocassion,its a one horse race for me.However and this is a big however i see Carlton House developing into a serious Arc prospect by October,he has bags of scope and we know he handles both cut and firmer conditions,vital come Arc day.The totes 12/1 will be 3/1 if he does prevail at Epsom.
I have a sneaky feeling that wily old fox who trains
Workforce
is upto something,there’s a good 6 weeks to the Eclipse which would appear to be an obvious target but in between there is the Prince of Wales at Royal Ascot,or even the Hardwicke,i reckon there is every chance of him turning up at the Royal Meeting after he’s shaken off the cobwebs tonight,that would give him three weeks between both races,then another 3 to the King George,4 races in a 2 month period isn’t impossible.Anyway i have invested for the future as prices will tumble if he ‘surprises’his trainer by powering home tonight!

£300 win Corals 6/1 Eclipse,Sandown.
£2925
I thought Fury had won, you thought Fury had won, Cattermole thought Fury had won, the whole racecourse thought Fury had won. I’ve never heard so much displeasure at a racecourse than when Tazahum was announced the winner. Even when they showed the photo and showed countless replays there were still several people voicing their discontent. Incredibly unlucky, especially after Captain Dunne and Strike Up The Band. And I realise me typing this won’t please you but about 3 weeks ago I backed about 7 horses on a Saturday who were beaten by a neck or less, so we’ve all been there.
Word perfect Zarkava,i was pretty drunk by the time Fury ran and to be honest i cant remember ever watching a race drunk before so like you say Fury just gets up to win and i’m counting my winnings! when the result was announced i had a surreal moment as though i was dreaming it had gone the other way,very strange,i have never sobered up so quick i can tell you! My luck with photo finishes is Sh*t at the minute! Great to see
Workforce
do the business although Poet made him work.
Feel for your Fury!
I was on Tazahum and as they passed the post was convinced Richard Hills had left it too late and lost by a neck. Been lucky in photo finishes recently, on Dandino in the Jockey Club by a nose. Also had a big win on City leader at Goodwood in a finish of necks.
Luck will even itself out eventually Gord.
Value Is EverythingGinge,you have proved yourself on here time and again,you maintain a solid and consistent philosophy to finding winners! God only knows what that is like as you never elaborate and as for that bloody points system,it has to be a shilling a point me thinks!
Dont you agree that when you have found your only Holy Grail you know the next winner is only round the corner,until reet hard tells you he agrees,i was really panickin aboutWorkforce
last night knowing he has jumped on the bandwagon!
This fellow first caught my eye at Newbury a year ago and funnily enough it was the only time Jamie Spencer has ridden him,he looked a tricky ride then,not as tricky as the winner mind (Berling).I reckon this step up to 2 miles is just what

needs as he’s a horse who typifies the meaning ‘Bridle horse’,i think the sedate pace of 2 miles will allow Jamie to just steer him through this field without ever having to put him under pressure,if he can keep him on the bridle i think he’s more talented than the remainder.

If Reet ever ageed with me it would be very disconcerting, doubt it will ever happen as it seems against his religion! Am sure his first job in deciding who to back is to see who I am backing, and put a line through my selection/s.On the other forum (which I’ve finally given up on) they made it compulsory to explain every bet. Which I can fully understand. Most people used to just give one or two lines about the one horse. Trouble I have is that the reason I back one horse is as much about every other horse in the race as the one, two or six I’ve actually backed. So it took me too long and I was missing out on talking about Racing in general and study time. Do sometimes elaborate in the Big Race Discussions. Great respect to you Gord, may not agree all the time, but there’s always an explanation. Will see if I can write a bit more on my thread. Thumbs up.
Wouldn’t say I ever know the next winner is around the corner, been through my share of long losing runs. Your confidence knows no boundaries mate.
Value Is Everything5 of my notebook horses run tomorrow and another 2 on Sunday. Rio Grande, El Wasmi, Mountain Hiker, Western Aristocrat and Quadrant, as well as Crystal Capella who I really seriously fancy. Will work out what to do tomorrow morning, other than singles and a double on Rio Grande and Crystal Capella.
