    I think you got a 3rd place there with Sharp Army Raymo.. :good: well done.

    I have all fingers crossed that Rising Star(nb:) can beat the Godolphin girls and cause an upset in the next race.
    I know Marco Botti has some nice horses going at the moment a0nd hope she is one of them. :rose: Jac

    Godolphin 1,2,3 but the favourite is beaten and James Doyle wins on Dubai Future.
    Disastrous day for me but hopefully Bendoog can win the next for myself and Krypton otherwise Paddy Power will be planning his next round the world cruise. :wacko: Jac

    4.55 Meydan
    King Of The Match
    Outsider but fine some good work on artificial surface in Korea. Chance of making the frame on a good day. Can’t say he can possibly win so it may need a place bet rather than each way.

    Blank day today Sam :scratch: as you wisely said ,’winners hard to come by today’ :yes:

    At least I got 200 Bonus points for Electrical Storm even though I didn’t back him. Now on 1050 points and around 479th.

    :rose:

    Weighing up whether to back Kraken Power tonight at 7.15.

    Yes I did back him in the end at Best Odds (see Kraken Power Thread) and got 6/5.
    Heart in mouth finish but he stuck his head out all the way home and he saved my day and I ended up with a small profit on the day. £5 to be precise 🤣😆😆 lol Jac :good:

    Well done Triptych.
    I’m glad he won and I’ve really enjoyed that thread. Good to get people’s opinions and different angles. I couldn’t back him knowing what the jockey had done previously.
    Which is a bit of a pity, but at least he did good by Kraken Power in the end. Looking how he ran previously over six furlongs he would be well served going back up in trip, but best of all a change of yards and the chance to race on turf.

    Here here Sam :good:

    I stood hovering over his name on the Paddy Power site and saw they were giving best odds .. I was £45 down on my Meydan bets and figured if I wagered £45 on the horse I would cover my losses..I shut my eyes and pressed ‘bet now’ the deed was done and he went out to 6/5 on the off, bravely fought his way to the line and returned me £99. :yahoo:
    If I hadn’t have taken a chance on him I knew I would have regretted it and I’m happy that he’s shownu what he can really do. However, I was also ready to take any losses and I only bet what I could afford to lose.

    I enjoyed the Kraken Power Thread too Sam some really useful and informative input.. :good:
    Good luck for tomorrow.
    Jac :rose:

    Well Imissed the bloody lot. Hospital in the morning, in Glasgow,
    and back in time to have a cup of tea and then off to the surgery
    for the nurse to stick 1 in my arm, and 1 in my butt. So as days
    go, it could have been better.

    Anyway sounds as if you guys had a blast, and Saturday is coming
    up so I’ll be joining in, although I’m double pissed off that
    Green Book has given the Lanzerote a swerve. I’m not at all
    pleased with Venetia, she cost me an arm and a leg :cry:

    Lol Nathan.😆🤣😅..that could be a career ending move for the poor horse..my days of doing 8:10 or less are long gone.
    I’ll bring my 2yo grandson Oscar and pop him up instead, he could probably ride a decent race on him with just 2 stone on his back. Jac :rose:

    Ouch Graham … sounds like you had a bit of a day. Hope you are ok now and back on track to sort some winners for the comps tomorrow.

    Meydan was in fact a bit of a disaster for most of us..I think Krypton kicked off with the first winner, Raymo got a 3rd in the second race and from thereon in it was a disaster. It was only my plumping all my losses on Kraken Power at Newcastle tonight at 5/6 that put me back in the black. :wacko:
    Thoroughly enjoyed the banter though and hopefully we can all get a few home tomorrow.

    Did you manage to get your Godolphin Bonus race in before you went to hospital,? I got 200 much needed Bonus points for Electrical Storm as no runners today for me.

    Just had a look at tomorrows two flat meetings and it looks pretty tricky.

    Best of luck tomorrow and hope all is well with Marjorie. :rose: Jac
