    Those taking 4/5 about Lambourn are certainly suffering from a bad case of recency bias but they have 2½ weeks to recover

    I’m going to bet Lazy Griff here. I just think that he’s a very nice horse, and I’m going to have a big ew bet for me. I’ve not taken 12-1 just now, as I have an inkling that come Sunday he may go out in price a little. I hope that I’m right in that regard

    I think Puppet Master is something of the forgotten Coolmore horse. I was thinking of him for the Derby, and he has to be worth an each-way bet.

    So don't run, just like the others always do

    What are all three of Serious Contender, Shackleton and Thrice doing here? How many pacemakers do Coolmore need?

    Sometimes, it appears that they are running (ruining?) horses just for the sake of it – look at poor old Continuous, for example.

    I’m keen to take Lambourn on , this is going to be ran very differently , Tennessee stud ran a monster in the Derby being one of the few to get involved off the pace , if rather play him e.w at 5s

    Wouldn’t bet against the fav winning this. As seen yesterday when Ryan Moore rides one out in front they are difficult to peg back. And it’s a classic winner they have to peg back in this if its the same strategy.

    Why should they not run? With them they would be 7 runners. There supporting the race and that’s good. JM said years ago he just they owe it to the breeders to run in these races and that’s a good thing. You don’t seem to keen on collide so your opinion is steep in a little hate.

    It wasn’t a vintage derby so the Irish version was always going to look weak

    Having backed Lazy Griff e/w for the Derby and the Leger I couldn’t leave him alone for this!

    Interesting that the huge disparity in price between him and Lambourn still persists. I hope that having Buick on board might narrow the gap. 🤞

    Lambourn could prove too strong but at the odds looks worth taking on.
    In the Derby the majority of head of the market were near the back end of the field. Pride of Arras showed his inexperience and lost it by being too head strong. He’ll have to be closer if settling. Green impact is the other that interests me

    It’s 8-13 and 7-1 bar. Blimey. The opposition needn’t have bothered turning up. ;o)

    Yeah – no odds-on shot has ever been beaten.
