Yes thanks Nathan..She has to be ridden from the back so its always going to be a heart in mouth moment whether she gets blocked in or not but this time it was textbook. I still don’t know how she did it.
Best of luck today at Meydan.
@Clints
Best of luck with your plays today Clints and take on board what you say about Naval Crown on dirt..let’s hope he stays prominent. Not too many runners so hopefully he will avoid kick back.
@nwalton
Will be looking out for your horses today Nick especially First Smile.
As you say no real standouts although I am very sweet on Global Heat in the trickiest race of the day
Best of luck.Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Morning all, I bet a couple last night and I’ll stick them
up now and see how I go before adding any more.2.30 Desert Doctor 13/2 Paddy Power
He’s one of Ed Walker’s and has run to a decent standard on the
dirt at home, winning well when having to wait and then pounced
late at Kempton last October. I fancied him a fair bit, especially
at his odds (16/1) here 2 weeks back and he ran a good race in 2nd.
The bookies have taken that into account but I expect another good
run from a decent draw today3.05 Halimi 10/1 Willie Hill
He’s with Simon Crisford now but was one of Jim Bolger’s until last
month. He won a very decent handicap at Leopardstown last September
and will have benefited from his run in 4th here 2 weeks ago after
3 months off. He’s drawn well in 2 and I think he should be spot on
for this.I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Jac and Nathan for
having my back in that little spat over on the Saturday Pick 3
Competition a few days back. Your time and effort compiling a
positive résumé on my behalf was very much appreciated guysCheers Darren..and best of luck with Ghostwatch..
@Graham
Least I could do Graham and certain Nathan felt the same.Knocked for 6 when I saw that response to such a fantastic Nap. It’s the first time (and hopefully the last) that we have had such a negative response to a really good tip turning up on 3 horses and the poster obviously hadn’t been following you on here..Nathan soon put that to bed.
Today I’m going to the Doctors with you in the 2.30 at Meydan as I think your choice Doctors Orders could turn up to set us up for the day and I’m using some of my Nurse Florence winnings to back him..
Best of luck .. JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Good afternoon everyone, haven’t followed Meydan as closely as I’d have liked this year but had a spare 30 mins or so to crack open today’s card.
14:30 – Rio Angie (E/W, 10/1)
15:05 – Moonlight Spirit (Win, 11/2)
16:50 – Topper Bill (Win, 5/1)
17:25 – Ottoman Court (Win, 8/1)Will take more notice of this thread, now I’ve remembered where it is.
Best of luck Krypton..
Interesting rematch between Topper Bill and First Smile later today.First Smile had it in the bag last time and just stopped. Now running over further it will be interesting to see how that goes.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Desert Doctor ran a good race Graham in no way disgraced just not fast enough to catch Canvassed.
Anyway on to the trickiest race of the day ..
3.05 Meydan
Global Heat .. 8/1 EWCommunique .. 20/1 (Enhanced) EW
Reverse Forecast
Just couldn’t leave Commumique out at that price at 1m6f over which I think we will see a much better run than last time.
Best of luck looking forward to this one..
JacMoney back with PP if 2nd 3rd or 4th.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...A bit of chasing for you in between races!
3.20 wincanton
Some of my selections hit and some miss.
Black Valentine has not lined up under rules for 1700 days, but has been kept to his work point to pointing where he’s won 5 of six completed starts.
He has a course win here at wincanton albeit five years ago.
Pulled up on latest start.
Could go better returned to this course on chasing debut. Must be worth a quid each way.Well done with Dubai Future Nick
very nicely done.Happy with my 3rd place Global Heat and a free bet from Paddy Power can’t be bad.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Good luck at chilly Wincanton Sam
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Well I didn’t see either of my races, perhaps just as well, I’ve been
strategically placing basins to catch water coming through our back bedroom
ceiling. I’ve braved it outside to try and see the roof, but it’s a storm
up here at the moment and difficult to see what the problem is. Perhaps
flashing that has been dislodged by the storm. There’s no chance of getting
anyone up on the roof at the moment, it’s far too dangerous, and unfortunately
I think it’s to continue until Sunday. It never rains but it pours, literally
Good observations about Naval Crown Clints spot on.
Hope you did have a small bet on Mouheeb he ran a blinder.
Bit of a disappointing turnout for a 2000 Guineas this year.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Cheers Jac well done with Global Heat
Really have kept stalemate neighbourhood on minimum today Thanks Nick..and I’m with you on…4.50 .. First Smile .. Win
Hoping she doesn’t do what she did last tine when beaten by Topper Bill..5 25 .. Vale of Kent .. 16/1 EW
Could Be King .. 9/1 .. EWReverse Forecast above two
Combi doubles on all 3 horses.Vale Of Kent is a Bunbury Cup winner and absolutely hated his run on the dirt last time..today hoping we will see what he can really do.
Could Be King by Bated Breath out of an Oasis Dream mare,has run at high level in his previous races and should be nailed on for a place here today.
Best of luck in these last few races..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Sorry I missed your post about your leaky roof Graham, what timing just when you want to settle down and watch the racing.
It’s coming down hard here in Essex also at the moment our patio looks like a swimming pool.Hope you’ve managed to stem the flow and it’s not too long before someone comes to fix it.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Barber Of Seville e/w
4.50
Hopefully after last run can reverse placing with Topper Bill.
Best of luck today at Meydan.
