    Cheers N, no joy with the others, and no real excuses, though I suppose I could have asked for some smoother passages for mine haha.

    My last choice Big Baz managed to come plum last so most of my concentration on Lingfield today..think I’ll stick to cheering on Vtc’s Acca today. :yahoo:
    Well done with your place on Earnshaw Bobby and also to Karinga Bay for picking him.

    May have a stab at another one later…surely must do better than 14/14 :unsure:

    My #1 fancy for Cheltenham is Cause of Causes in The Kim Muir, but he ain’t on any firms lists at the moment, and entries aren’t out, so one to hold fire with for now.

    I’ll see what I can do with Thursdays runners, hopefully won’t have to worry about Cheltenham when my Acca comes in at Meydan lol

    Hey Guys,
    I do not know how well prepared this horse will be, but Icecapada in the 5th race Cape Verdi(Gr.2) will be supported by my money.
    This is a very kapable filly, one of her races, listed as a conditions race (09/06/2015 Tab) is the Swedish 1000 Guineas (Dianalöpning), where she among others beat Danish 1000 Guineas (Mowerinalob) and future Danish Derby winner Manacor as well as future Danish Oaks winner Mai Pen Rai, her next race, the Norwegian 1000 Guineas she finished all too late to catch the winner. The she won the Scandic Norwegian Derby Trial, beating Norwegian 2000 Guineas winner Brownie as well as Quarterback. Her next race was the Norwegian Derby(L) finishing 2nd to Quarterback and had two lengths in spare to Swedish Derby(L) winner Bokan. Quarterback was a length and a half from winning the january 21 Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City – District One at Meydan…
    Icecapada then twice beat older Champion race-mares over the mile.
    Here she is, winning the Stockholms Fillies & Mares Stakes(L) (the grey from gate 2) https://youtu.be/EOM-cUpukRM

    Best Wishes

    thanks for that KS,just skimmed over her form,she seems quite versatile regarding trip/going and at least this year(unlike last season at meydan) its not on dirt.I see she was DQ for riders use of the whip,in her maiden.

    nwalton, whipping a horse is not allowed in Norwegian racing, they use a version of a two-year-old stick, only allowing correcting taps on the shoulder of the horse, whith both hands on the reins…so new riders can forget and Rafael Schistl did.

    what price would people put Ertijaal in at tomorrow?

    No prices yet and i dont play at short odds (esp h’caps) which think this could neigh on be odds on in a sprint handicap
