Congratulations Joni, you can be very proud!
Enjoy your success and keep on scoring..Great shot Joni, hopefully plenty more like that one for you to come this season. GL
Cracking tipping. I happened to see your,post go up just after 3pm and thought that was a bit optimistic.
I’ll shut up and just take notes now
The biggest priced runner in the field…brilliant! It’s extra nice when it’s a horse you’ve had your eye on and have liked for a while.
Thank you so much guys! Really appreciated. And Dartguru – I don’t blame you one bit for not following me in!!

Still not quite as good as my Watford/United 3-1 correct score at 80/1 or Wenbo winning the Snooker at 100’s but at least you had a good wager on yours instead of my £2 stake…..

Just seen this Joni
WOW 33/1 well done you. It really feels great when you get one that you have followed that’s completely under the radar and it comes home,especially when you are at the races and are the only one leaping and punching the air but I guess you were doing that at home 
Nice to think you’re going to be playing with bookies money now and some great racing to come this week,think you can expect a lot of visitors on your Thread after tipping like that, couldn’t be more pleased for you Joni…JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Thanks Jac!

So I really can’t wait for the Oaks tomorrow as I think it is an excellent renewal. The favourite is being backed as if defeat is out of the question and she is certainly the most likely winner. But I can’t help feeling that this is a good race and she might not be as bullet-proof as some are saying.
If you look at her record she was a bit of a late bloomer. As recently as September she was passed over by Ryan Moore in the Moyglare and could only finish 3rd. She was very impressive in the Fillies Mile but, having struggled for ages to find form tying in her with anything else in the race, I see that she beat Rich Legacy by 12 lengths that day. This is the same Rich Legacy that was then beaten 17 lengths by Enable in the Cheshire Oaks. Everyone says she was really unlucky in the Guineas and there is no doubt that she was hampered 2 furlongs out BUT when she found daylight she wasn’t exactly making up the ground hand over fist. Plus there is the question of whether she will stay the extra half a mile. I have my doubts – I think a mile could be her best trip. Anyway, at odds-on she is not value.
So Enable ticks a lot of boxes for me. She has proven stamina, has shown she handles a tight track, and has a lovely attitude. I saw her in the flesh at Newbury and thought she really looked the part – a quality filly. She has done little wrong this year and it is very telling that connections were always quite happy for her to run here rather than her talented stablemate. I reckon Frankie will kick for home some way out and you will see this one gallop all the way to the line. Perhaps the favourite will sweep past her close home but she will definitely HAVE to get the mile a half well if she is to do so.
Another that I saw in the flesh was Natavia and I think she will run into a place as well. It may come just a little soon for her but I think this filly will be winning very good races before long.
£100ew Enable – 6-1 The Oaks winner
£25ew Natavia – 10-1 The Oaks lost"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
WOW 33/1
