Good luck on the first day at Newmarket tomorrow Joni.
At last the flat is on it’s way. 
I’m looking forward to seeing them all in the paddock tomorrow and spotting one or two that will progress for the season, but very wise to be starting off slowly and all the luck with your choice Kew Gardens although I am taking him on with two Dark Angel colts..Stage Magic and Dark Acclaim, it should be some race.In the 5.20 taking a chance on a Ryan Moore horse MEDIEVAL, I really like this horse and it’s a coincidence
that my daughter who got married yesterday had a Medieval theme wedding so I just have to stick with him.Looking forward to the Craven on Thursday (Roaring Lion) and Nell Gwyn tomorrow (Altyn Orda) although I won’t be there to see her win, I’m just going Tuesday and Thursday this week, it’s been a hectic week..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Well done to joliff, Mildenburger showed a good turn of foot today to take the race.
Kew Gardens was given no sort of a ride by Ryan Moore, he was given a very easy time of it with and there was no point in the race where he looked as though he was going to make a challenge.
Both the Coolmore horses disappointed, nobody of note was around to support them and it seemed as though both came to Newmarket for the run, very disappointing for everyone who supported them.. Sorry Joni you didn’t get much for your money out of Kew Gardens today..JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...So sorry Jac – been running a conference all week and had literally no spare time. Hope you having a lovely time at Newmarket. Might try and get down tomorrow. In the meantime Extra Mile is better than a handicapper and will win easily tomorrow.
£200 win Extra Mile – 7-4 – Newcastle 6.10 winner

An easy win for Extra Mile who I reckon we might see at Royal Ascot. Also very good win for Zarkamiya in France. The Frankel’s strike rate continues to be impressive.

Well done with Extra Mile Joni, now showing a nice profit so early in the season.
Had a fantastic day at Newmarket today with 4 winners one at 28/1
and a nice place it’s paid for my 2 days at the Guineas Meeting, hope you can get there soon..Jac Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Brilliant Jac!! Well done you. Anything that really took your fancy over the last few days? I am sure you were disappointed with Roaring Lion but two things I would say – 1. Gosden’s horses aren’t fully wound up yet and 2. RL will be better over further. I don’t think he beat milers last term in Saxon Warrior and Nelson and I reckon we will see him to much better light in the Derby or French Derby. Very impressed with the Frankel filly, Qaznya though….
MORE importantly – how was your daughters wedding?!!!
"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
A couple of smaller bets for today on an interesting card at Newbury. Qaysar had a classic entry until quite recently and I think he could be better than the mark he is on. He also has the benefit of a run. Charlie Appleby’s horses can do no wrong and so Rastrelli should go close despite his penalty.
£50 win Qaysar – 11-4 – 2.25 Newbury winner
£25ew Rastrelli – 6-1 – 4.35 Newbury winner
£25 win double"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
£25ew – Lah Ti Dar – 33-1 – The Oaks
£50ew – Lah Ti Dar – 20-1 – The OaksSeriously impressive filly…
"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
She’s already being backed off the boards. You have to consider the fact that John Gosden’s horses are not firing yet…..

Thank you Joni, my daughter’s wedding went off beautifully, the rain stayed away and everyone had a lot of fun, couldn’t ask for more it was a Medieval theme and a Barn Owl delivered the rings, everyone laughed as the first time he did it he missed the landing spot and flew off with the rings but his encore was perfect
.Back to the horses, totally agree with you about Roaring Lion he actually came into the paddock neighing which is a small negative and he was not looking his best to be honest, he definitely got caught flat footed coming up the hill by Masar who powered home (what a great looking horse he is) and who I actually backed to beat RL as I wasn’t taking the 1/2 odds on offer on the day with regard to the way Gosden’s horses had been running, as you say most looking as though they are in need of their run. I think he only had one winner over the 3 days and that was Purser and Ryan Moore drew a blank which is very unusual.
So pleased to see Sheika Reika win yesterday, about time she put a 1 in front of all those seconds.
Will look back over the 3 days when I get a bit more time Joni and put a few to follow together, but will say that Charlie Appleby was the happiest man at Newmarket holding a double handful with Soliloquy and Masar, really rate Soliloquy but still feel that Altyn Orda who was very fizzy before the start could put in a good run in the Guineas at a decent price.
Good luck with Lah Ti Dar – looks like you’ve found something there everyone is piling on, will take a look at her.
Keep getting those winners home..JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...+£2,192.61
Thanks guys and so pleased it went well Jac! You must have been so proud!!
I’ve hit the ground running this year and long may it continue!! 6 out of 8 winning bets in the UK/Ireland. There will be bumps in the road – there always is – but always a good idea to make the most of a winning streak so will post a couple of bets for tomorrow later.
One more word about the most impressive performance of the season for me so far. I really think Lah Ti Dar could be a very serious filly. It is a long way from winning a maiden to running in Classics but she is bred to win the Oaks and will certainly be taking in a trial next time. I always look at running in the Classics as a series of qualifiers like in athletics. Well she is through the first round with flying colours. I would imagine it will be the Musidora next as JG likes that race. Of course Shutter Speed was the big hype horse after Newbury last year and that failed to materialise but Enable came out of the same race and she did ok as I remember.. :) Fingers crossed this one makes the grade.

Hi Joni,
could you please also say a word about Gavota for tomorrow? I am quite optimistic about her,
and I could use your opinion. Don’t worry, it’s not your fault if she doesn’t win
Congrats for all your big successes, you are really flying like the Godolphins are and even good old Mick Channon was todayHi HB – well I was reading Roger Charlton in the TDN today and he said that he doesn’t think of her as a Guineas type but that they would know more after a trial. Saying that, it doesn’t look a strong field and she SHOULD win but the stable hasn’t really got going yet so she would not be one for me at a skinny price. I honestly couldn’t tell you who might beat her tomorrow but it could just be that one of those unexposed maiden winners could have improved. Hope that helps.

A couple for tomorrow. Taqdeer looked a very nice prospect a year or two ago and he ran well for a long way at Doncaster. I think the more the ground dries the better his prospects but I fancy he will prove to be better than a 95 handicapper and will go close now that he has that run under his belt. I have heard good things about Shareef Star who has apparently been going very well at home. Ryan is on board and I think he is expected to win before going on to better things.
£25ew Taqdeer – 10-1 – Newbury 3.45 winner
£50 win Shareef Star – 3-1 – Newbury 4.55 loser
£25 win double"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
