    And Graham so close mate unlucky. Buick dropped his whip on the winner too!!

    I have had three each way doubles and an each way treble twice Spotify with Top Score and Completion and Spotify with Mythical Magic and Bedouin so fingers crossed there but I bet I get the wrong ones together”” LOL

    Again I cannot believe how badly Silva has ran (A lot of head shaking going on here!!)

    Darn, I really thought Swift Rose was going to hang on. I’d have been happy
    with the place before the off, but I almost feel robbed :wacko:
    Anyway, you have to hand it to Buick for getting him up on the line.

    Good luck with those doubles and trebles Raymo :good:

    Cheers nwalton, I was mentally pushing him over the line :wacko:
    I just noticed I posted at 16.16, which might have looked like they
    were well into the race, just to note that the race started at 16:16:29

    Don’t be paranoid Graham we know you always tell the truth mate :good:

    I can just see completion winning the last and me getting two out of three in both bets :wacko:

    I just hope Bedouins gets a decent start and a good position during the race

    Quite happy with the way things have gone today, having a last stab with
    Hors De Combat at 12/1 . Not been in great form, but won here last year off
    a 1lb lower mark. I’ll be happy if Bedouin’s Story bolts in for you Raymo :good:

    Another supposedly unlucky run from Bedouin. I am beginning to think he is one of those horses that looks eye catching but never actually wins!!

    Well done today with the winners guys :good:

    Bad luck with Bedouin’s Story Raymo, it would have been a great finish to the day for you.
    Just not to be though :-(

    Just watched the race again Raymo, I hadn’t been concentrating on your horse as I
    was hoping my nag would do well. What a terrible start, and with the way he came through
    at the end he must have stood every chance of taking this if he hadn’t fallen out of
    the stalls. Very hard luck mate.

    Writing was on the wall for Silva before she set foot on the course, the commentator said she was a negative in the paddock and also that a lot of the runners going down were being spooked by the extremely loud amplified commentating blasting put over the tanoys. :unsure:

    Have to draw a line through Dubai Beauty now, plum last, shes not enjoying her racing, likewise Symbolization :wacko:

    Really feel for you Graham with the second…what an each way play though. :good:

    Raymo you must have been leaping around cheering your horse home after that bad start and very well done with MM and Spotify.

    Just scraped through today with Ekhtiyaar but not a good one for me on here and in the Fantasy League….it can only get better..see you all next week..Jac :rose: x

    great stuff people, bit gutted with a couple but two 11/2 winners (out of four picks) I suppose shouldn’t moan

    We seem to be really getting into gear now and see you all next week, same time, same place (showing my age now. :cry:

    Completely missed your Mythical Magic win NW :yahoo: and two 11/2 winners today on another tricky card was great tipping and even though you sat tbe race out,you chose Divine Image too :good: who I really should have followed up on, that was some ride from William Buick and so unlucky for Hayley on BigG’s 40/1 shot Swift Rose.

    Thd Godolphin horses are certainly setting tbe bar high for this Festival and Sheikh Hamdan has a great sprinter prospect on his hands with Ekhtiyaar.

    See you next week nw and all :bye: Jac

    Hi nwlton :bye:
    Here’s the link to Thursdays racing, can’t believe how quickly this comes around but think is the last big Thursday before Super Saturday on 9th March and then onto World Cup Saturday 30th March.

    Looking at the card so far Desert Fire is the only one that stands out for me having run 2nd to Nordic Lights :good: Think I will just be playing in one or two of these races but will wait for the official decs to appear…best of luck :good: Jac
