    That’s a pity to read Nick :rose: I once taught a former Romanian boxing (welter weight) Champion in English and accountancy, and he told me that boxing is a mind game similar to chess :yes: , but I hardly believed him :whistle: Me myself and I was always more or less a coward, so rowing has been the very healthy and right decision for me :good:
    I wouldn’t say I owe it my life, but indeed I tend to have some mental problems with depression etc, which I can actively fight with my sport, but that’s a different story :-)
    I indeed hope we will meet again on our wonderful Meydan thread very soon :bye:

    Ground is Good , watering in progress , Becoming more unsettled with showers towards the weekend with some showery rain on Saturday. Sunny spells and showers for Sunday and Monday.

    Why are they still watering!???? :unsure:

    I agree Circus Maximum is underated but just feel that like last year something will be too good for him. He’s out to 12.0 on betfair exchange that is a worry.

    Its a hard race to call but I can’t not have a bet in a 1m Group 1 so have backed Mohaather at 3.9 . His last run was visually very impressive and he could be very good.

    Andre Fabre said about Earthlight today, that he’s full of pace and looks a real sprinter, but he’s convinced he will get further.

    Upto the owner, but sounded encouraging he might go. Trainers usually get their way in these circumstances I feel.

    What do they have to lose? Not winning a Prix M de G? So what.

    WHAT…..A……RACE!

    Just added a little bit to my earthlight bet @16/1, it’s a gamble if he runs or not but if he gets declared then the price will shorten very quickly and I have Kameko @around 7/1.

    Earthlight if he takes part has split then camp in my house.
    If he shows I’d have him in at 4s while my son has him in at 10s :scratch:

    I’d have him nearer 4s on the day as well, which makes my 25 antipost look quite nice, decs today , Here’s hoping.

    Earthlight not running. Damn, I really wanted to see what he could do over a mile.

    Going to keep him at 6F for now. It would have been nice to see if he stayed.

    Goodwood are still watering even though it’s Good all over pretty much. Showers still forecast. Cannot go in antipost like this. Will wait for Monday’s final decs I think

    It’s like Royal Ascot they kept on watering even though rain was coming. Are they scared of good to firm

    A proper race this looks.

    Is the Ballydoyle horse a bit of a modern day Giants Causeway?

    The Maktoum horse looked terrific LTO, but will he find trouble again, especially at Goodwood?

    Siskin could be anything, but again might find traditional Goodwood bother if overly held-up.

    Kameko could be a huge price back over a mile.

    I’ll probably do Kameko / CM RFC for a sporting interest, gambling the two flashy travellers get trouble in running on the Downs.

    BUY THE SUN

    Persistent rain forecast on Monday

    Let’s hope the watering doesn’t lead to soft ground

    Want to see gd ground and a level playing field for all

    I am not seeing a persistent rain forecast for next week. Maybe some tomorrow PM.

    Light rain tomorrow morning and then risk of heavy showers in the afternoon/evening. Sunny spells and chance of a shower for Sunday. Some light rain / showers about on Monday. Tuesday onwards looking dry and sunny.
