    A couple Guineas trials followed by the Ballysax

    Alexandroupolis seems to be the possible improver from two to three so will be interested to see how he gets on, prefered over Denmark for Moore

    of the trials both Never Ending Story and Dower House have run loads in their two year old campaigns, maybe Aidan sees another Snowfall there, not for me but Never Ending Story was placed in the Prix Marcel Boussac and has already beat the market rival Zarinsk

    Never Ending Story 5/2 single
    and in a Double with Alexandroupoli 8/11 William Hill

    I am really looking forward to these races.

    Forget what yards they are from, just look at their form and pedigrees and enjoy.

    And forget about the ground being Heavy too – in this era of climate change and artificial watering whenever the Sun comes out, who can be certain the ground won’t have plenty of give come the Classics themselves?

    That’s my kind of mad.

    Tender Kiss, Marsha’s first foal by Galileo, is an interesting one on pedigree in the opener.

    Matilda Picotte looked a little overpriced in the 1000 trial at 17/2. I think she’ll get 7, just not sure on the ground.
    I’ll have her and Purple Gown in the 530 to back up a fine effort 8 days ago to go one place better.

    Ballysax probably will go to either of the first two in the market but I’ve shoved some change on the AOB outsider Mohawk Chief at 20/1 just because.

    Just for fun Nathan I’m going to dive in with a bookend double for Johnny Murtagh with…
    2.00 Hazalaya – 33/1 EW
    5.30 Lauroline – 0/30
    Both beautifully bred

    2.00 Bold As Love – 5/2 – Win (and a speculative Rev. Forecast with Hazalaya)
    3.10 Never Ending Story – 2/1 – Win

    Combi EW Treble on all 4

    Enjoy the day

    Never Ending Story boosting the Prix Marcel Boussac form there.

    Not that I’ve backed Blue Rose Cen for the Prix D’Essai Des Pouliches (French 1,000 Guineas) or anything.

    You’ll note Dermot Weld withdrew his original entry in this race – just saying!

    Backed Never Ending Story straight after that for the French Oaks 16-1. I don’t think she’s a 12f horse but ran like 10f could be within range so we will see.

    Well done with the filly Nathan.
    White Birch was very game in the Ballysax to get shoved sideways and keep going.

    I absolutely promise I never laugh whenever yet another “Aidan says….” hyped-up Maiden winner that can apparently already be regarded as a Derby colt gets beat at odds-on.

    Lump on Alexandroupolis when he runs in the Irish Cesarewitch. He is an absolute certainty. ;-)

    O’Brien said of Never Ending Story afterwards: “It was tough ground out there, so hopefully she’ll go into one of the Guineas now. I had considered the French Oaks but some **** on TRF nicked the last of the 16s from under my nose so she’s staying in Ireland on a point of general principle.” – Source: Racing Toast.

    Yes, Green, solid run from White Birch and nice to see a different name of trainer win the race

    I wouldn’t write Alexandroupolis off just yet, he’s plenty inexperienced enough and none of Aidan’s last 4 Derby winners went into Epsom unbeaten.

    Pleased with Never Ending Story’s win and well done Nathan :good:

    Just missed out on 3rd place by a head with Hazalaya 33/1 EW in the opener but was very pleased with her run as she came from last but one to finish 4th beaten a head on the last 2 furlongs. She will be so much better next race. :good: Jac
