    Not too many complaints from me about the racing this week, other than being backshift, and trying to catch it on my phone. Not easy. I’ve really enjoyed it this year, in fact I enjoy it more every year, but so far, it’s certainly not pocket talk lol.

    Todays selections, and those ew’s will be to six places.

    1620 The Wests Awake ew 25’s
    1620 Conrad Hastings ew 33’s
    1620 Tombstone win 14’s
    1655 Slowmotion win 6’s
    1840 Top Wood win 7’s
    1910 Riders On The Storm win 8’s
    1910 Causey Arch win 16’s
    1945 Lone Wolf win 6’s

    Really fancy Bel Ami De Sivola here at 7/1

    Massive horse. Big stride. High cruising speed. The step up in trip should suit him too I think. Could be the proverbial group horse in a handicap here.

    Moment of truth for Samcro. I wasn’t impressed enough at Cheltenham to back him for today at odds on. Melon 3/1 looks a better value play.

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    We really didn’t need this kind of outcome. I hope both are okay.

    As already stated one race too many!!!!!

    Gutted.

    Was worth an absolute fortune in multiples to me with three at Sandown.

    He was cruising too.

    Bookies benefit and very unsatisfactory with the first two in the betting coming to grief at the same flight. Hard to call who would have won it for me, so we wait to find out how good Samcro is. He was going easier at one stage but Melon was coming to lay down his challenge. :unsure:

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    Ruby this is samcros 5th run since last april and it is also melons 5th run since last april. That is not too many races. It is an average of one run every 73 days. Which is most definitely not too many runs

    Dessie only said that both horses are up. This doesn’t mean much if you look back at other races.

    I’m referring to the future of both horses. Of course they aren’t overraced, but this wasn’t a target at all for Samcro. It was just trying to help Gordon Elliott gain some prize-money. I don’t think it was worth it….
