Kentucky Derby 2018

Threeandfourpence was a miserly 10/3 on some returns but was absolutely useless, beaten 26 lengths. What an awful bet he was at the odds tonight. That’s him stuffed 82 lengths in his last two starts.

Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

Weather was a real concern before the off, will have to forgive mendelssohn for that, had a brutal start to the race getting bumped several times.

Wow Justify is a beast. Mendelsohn finished last

Mendelssohn should try again in Breeders cup classic and Dubai World cup next year

That was pretty impressive, I didn’t know how well he would cope with the conditions
but he’s some horse to cope with anything the weather throws at him. It’s been a good
weekend for me so far and I’m hoping the last leg of my treble (Saxon Warrior, Justify
Soliloquy) can see me over the line on Sunday.

If we’re being honest, American racing is pretty abysmal isn’t it?

I like the turf events at the Breeders Cup.

I don’t feel like there’s any subtlety or skill required for dirt racing; the formula seems to be early pace + rail = win.

Disastrous trip to Kentucky for Ryan Moore. To add insult to injury a Classic went begging at Newmarket.

He was said to have been fascinated by the Kentucky Derby. Whether that is true, or he was told to go there to let O’Brien’s son land a Classic is something we can only speculate on.

Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

That’s a farce of a race run in ridiculous conditions

[Nausered]

Them ‘merican jockeys don’t mess about, Moore got proper broadsided there didn’t he. I doubt any horse would have won, if it had been taken off its feet after three strides. What a complete joke of a race, the jockey on the horse drawn 16, should be banned for a long time. I did not have a bet on the race, but was looking forwards to Mend v Justify.

I think you’re right with your second assumption Steve. Yesterday was Donnacha’s day. I bet his Dad is gutted he was not there to see it ultimately.

Well done Big G

Best horse won with the best jockey on board, i backed him after his last race

All comers, all ground, all beaten
