Well done with Blue On Blue Joni 8/1 what a great price
and the Gosden horses running best second time out is working out really well.Didn’t back Marine One today just had a feeling about that race haven’t seen it yet.
Lightening Fast lived up to his name at Navan yesterday 5/1 was as a bit of a steal.
Are you staying at The Best Marigold Hotel Joni?
I’d love to go to India…well maybe if Eminent wins The 2000 Guineas.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Thank Jac – New Delhi actually. Just work unfortunately but just got back to watch the replay of Cracksman. He looked beaten half a furlong out and did well to win considering he got checked. Will definitely need the whole of that long straight to be seen to best effect – quicker pace would help too. Had a quick peek at the entries for Friday – 3 Frankel’s in a 5 runner race!!!

Last day in India and wanted to get my bets in for tomorrow as I’ll be flying when they run! There are 4 bets for now but maybe more to come later. I am very hopeful that Atty Persse is going to prove better than a handicapper after the boys in blue spent so much money buying him. However with the Gosden team flying I can’t leave out Jupiter Light who was had a run and won. Monarch’s Glen was super impressive last time and I have a feeling he could be quite special. Also I can’t leave out my friend Sovereign Debt for the bang-in-form Ruth Carr who may even have improved him.
£50 win Atty Persse – 3-1 – 1.50 Sandown winner
£25ew Jupiter Light – 8-1 – 1.50 Sandown lost
£200 win Monarch’s Glen – Evens – 2.55 Sandown lost
£25ew Sovereign Debt – 8-1 – 3.30 Sandown winner"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
£25ew Glencadam Glory – 7-2 – 5.10 Sandown lost
£1 win Lucky 15 all selections"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
A couple of nice winners at the weekend as well as the disappointment of Monarchs Glen – though at least dear old Cunco ensured we kept it in the family. Hopeful of the 2 Frankel’s running today.
£50 win Frima – 15-8 – 2.05 Gowran Park lost
£50 win San Remo – 13-8 – 4.20 Limerick lost"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
Well done Joni
Atty Persse really impressed even though it was hard fought and dear old Sovereign Debt never lets you down. Monarch’s was the bad boy once more but what potential he has once he settles and Frankuus needs to be dropped in trip.With you and the Frankel’s today have done a double..good luck
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...-£332.64
Thanks Jac – they both ran well today without winning but San Remo looks a bit of a dog and really should have won. A big week coming up!!!

Can’t wait to see Eminent again Joni, it will be an emotional Guineas if he can win it for Frankel fans and the late Sir Henry..
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...This is surely the strongest Guineas in years. We have the winners and runners up of both the main trials, an Andre Fabre hotpot and last years Champion 2 year old. What else could you want?
I know a lot of people are thinking it is just a case of Churchill turning up in form and I am a huge fan myself, but I couldn’t help thinking that last year there was a shortage of proper milers. A lot of the best horses were either better over shorter like Blue Point or better over further like I’m sure Rivet will be. Also there was a huge virus that infected most of the Newmarket stables and many of the French ones which is why I think we are now seeing the unexposed maidens coming to the fore. For me, Churchill’s best trip will turn out to be 10f and he may just be done for toe in this his first outing of the season. Saying that, they will clearly go hell for leather and set the race up for him and he may just have too much power and too much class.
For me Andre Fabre is probably the greatest living trainer so if he is saying that Al Wukair will finish in the first three you can be sure he probably will. Will the ground be a bit quick for him though? My heart would sing if Eminent won and I have a bit of ante-post on him (though not as much as Jac!!!). He will benefit from the strong pace and will be doing all his best work late on. I’d love a little drop of rain between now and Saturday but I’m not sure we are going to get it.
I can’t help thinking that the Greenham was a really good race. The front two pulled a long way clear and obviously it would take a bit of creative thinking to imagine how the result could be reversed over a longer trip on a tougher track. When I got back from Newbury that day I was adamant that Dream Castle would be a Commonwealth horse but it is interesting that Godolphin are willing to take on their own horse again. I have watched the race a few times and for me DC was actually the most impressive horse of the whole week. He had no cover and was very keen and that cost him in the end but the way he quickened clear despite all that at the 2f pole was super impressive. I am sure he will turn out to be a proper Group 1 horse, the question is over which trip? IF and it’s a proper “IF”, the combination of a hood and SDS getting some cover on him during the race helps him settle better I can see him being bang there. Remember they are going to go hard and fast which will help him in that regard. I expect him to be played as late as possible and, at 16-1, he might just represent the value that the previous poster was after.
Either way, I believe this race is going to won by a serious racehorse and I for one can’t wait!
£25ew Dream Castle – 16-1 – 2,000 Guineas lost

A really good days racing tomorrow. I have bets in 3 races. I know Icespire should win if she is as good as they say but I think Willie Haggas’ filly Glitter Girl is also a sure fire each way bet. I have done a forecast as well. I am surprised Harbour Law is as big as 15-2 in the stayers race. He IS a Leger winner! And finally I have good vibes for Harrys Angel and am hoping that they will finally get the tactics right on Seven Heavens over the shorter trip.
£50 win Icespire – 2-1 – 2.35 Ascot lost
£25ew Glitter Girl 4-1 – 2.35 Ascot non-runner
£25ew Harbour Law – 15-2 – 3.10 Ascot lost
£25ew Harry’s Angel – 5-1 – 3.45 Ascot placed
£25ew Seven Heavens – 8-1 – 3.45 Ascot lost
£25 rev f/c Icespire/Glitter Girl non-runner
£5 win patent"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
Great post on the upcoming 2000 Guineas Joni and I think I must now have a small each way on Dream Castle so like you I can be cheering on both Frankel Colts on Saturday,
Good luck with your Ascot picks later today think you are spot on with Icespire and Glitter Girl with Mouille Point franking the form for the Frankel filly I would expect them to finish in that order. As much as I love Seven Heavens and would be really happy to see him win I am a massive Blue Point fan and backed him last year at Newmarket when he ran 3rd to Churchill, reports are that he has wintered well in Dubai and is forward this year.
Can hardly sleep thinking about The weekend and look forward to your thoughts on the 1000 Guineas. Will it be a Frankel double or will Rhododendron just have to turn up? The dream is still alive and Frankel’s Army matches on.
Best of luck Joni. XThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I dont know what happened to my last post on here – I put up Seventh Heaven yesterday at 11-8!
£200 win Seventh Heaven – 11-8 – 2.55 Newmarket winner
I also have Fair Eva from last years thread £100ew at 12-1 – I think she has a good ew chance. Will be posting more later.

Joni any views on Gosden filly in pretty polly i think if she wins they go to Ascot with her think she to big for Epsom course not suit her.
No big views Darren as I didn’t see her first win. JG has a whole host of nice fillies this year so I reckon the next couple of weeks will be about sorting out who goes where. As you know I am a huge fan of Shutter Speed and I know you like Coronet who I think goes to France next week. For now I would say that Shutter Speed is his number one and is being aimed at the premier trial – The Musidora. But plenty can happen between now and early June….

What a day it could be today. The first 2 Frankel’s running in a British classic. This is what I have waited 5 long years for!! They both have chances in what is a strong race and my money is down. I juts hope they both run well and don’t let their daddy down. I’ll be thinking of dear old Sir Henry all the time.
Elsewhere on the day I have had 3 bets. I fancy Ballet Concerto in the first. SMS horses haven’t really fired yet this year so it was notable that this one was able to win. I think they expect big things from this horse and I expect him to win well.
Bloody Pricewise has tipped up Washington DC so the price is not as good as last night though to be fair the fav withdrawing hasn’t helped wither. If you follow this blog you’ll know I’m a big fan of the horse and everything is right for him today to finally get his head in front in a big one.
Over at Goodwood I have always liked Ajman Princess since I saw her in her maiden at Newbury two years ago. Things haven’t quite worked out for her but I think she is smart and good enough to win today.
All in all, a cracking day ahead and I’ll be cheering on Eminent (especially hard for Jac!) and Dream Castle from the rafters. Fingers crossed…..
£50 win Ballet Concerto – 11-4 – Newmarket 1.50 lost
£50ew Washington DC – 11-2 – Newmarket 2.20 lost

£2.50 ew Lucky 15 the above with Dream Castle and Eminent"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
£100 win Middle East – SP – Maison Laffitte 12.50 loser

and the Gosden horses running best second time out is working out really well.
