    Plenty on across the cards tomorrow but just the one small token bet in Dubai in the 240. Echo Point seems to have one way of running, get to the front. Stall 1 ideal, I can foresee he kicks ahead and just holds on, gets nabbed late on or gets pestered early and drops away tamely. Took 10/1 5 places. Definitely fades into 6th.

    Good luck with Echo Point Chivers having chosen the trickiest race on the card to have a punt.🤪

    I’m sticking with Bold Style in this one but expecting a a bold show from Wild Tiger by Frankel, he always runs a bold race and could bring in a much welcome winner for the SBS yard. :good:

    2.05 – Emperor’s Star – 4/1

    2.40 – Bold Style – 5/2 – WIN
    and
    Wild Tiger- 5/2 – EW

    Rev. Forecast

    5.00 – Romantic Style – 1/3

    £10 TREBLE

    Best of luck with Ghaly Nick and Graham..Jac :good:

    Back to the trickiest race on the card my eye keeps being drawn to ex Charlie Appleby gelding…

    2.40 Meydan
    HAFIT – 40/1 EW

    Almost 3 years since his last run when 3rd in the Group 2 Queens Vase at Royal Ascot over 1m6f, he was only a neck and a nose from the winner and you have to ask why is he here?
    He did win his Maiden run over 7f at Newmarket as a 2yo. :good:
    Paddy Power paying 4 places here. :good:
    I”m also putting him in a comby forecast with Wild Tiger and Bold Style..bit ambitious but hopeful at that price. B-) Jac

    Fair play, maybe they don’t believe in the curse over in Dubai.

    Well done Chivers 👏👏 great choice never in doubt. :yahoo:

    Looks like my purple patch is over this week but looking forward to the big meeting next week.

    The SBS curse continues its hard (and costly) to follow his horses at present. Wild Tiger the best of the bunch.

    I can’t put any money on Romantic Style so I’m going in on one I did last week tovsave the day..

    3.15 – Gamekeeper 5/1 – £10 win

    If he wins I come out with a small profit 📈 if not that’s my last bet of the day.. Jac :bye:

    Ghaly went with the pace but couldn’t keep it up. Just as well I had
    the Golf to fall back on. I had a tenner E/W on JT Poston at 65/1 to
    be the Leader on day one. Well he shot a 62 and is leader on his own.
    Thats £800 with Cheltenham just round the corner, It’s all on Darrens
    thread if anyone wants to check it. I’ve still got a tenner E/W on him
    winning outright at 60/1, (offering £96 cashout) but win or not I’m
    delighted with 800 smackers :yahoo:

    :yahoo: :yahoo: Brilliant Graham..you are so good at picking out those big price golfers ….

    Well what a shambles the 3.15 at Meydan was with my Gamekeeper coming home the winner in what looks very likely to be a void race….oh well at least I get my stake back..Have to wait and see what Paddy decide to do either a huge deduction or returned stake..
    Hey ho..some you win..🫣 That’s racing :rose: Jac

    Thanks Jac, it couldn’t come at a better time as I’m hunting for some
    good ante-post Cheltenham horses if I’m pretty sure I know where they are
    going and the price is right. Courtesy of Bet365 :good:

    No points for me again in the Bonus race, it really doesn’t like me :unsure:

    From what I saw Chivers one horse crashed out of the gates early which made the starter raise his red flag signifying a false start but as the stalls all burst open on the loose horse breaking free only a few jockeys saw it and one by one pulled their horses up…the rest raced on in oblivion believing the race was officially on but on finishing the race had to be voided. It was a real shame as the red flag was raised too late for most of the participants to see it.🤫😢

    Just my luck my horse won it in good style :wacko:
    Never mind I’ll get it back next week :good: Jac
