not whinging at the fact that have got the card back on again, infact im really glad as its the makings of a cracking meeting with the totesport the obvious highlight.
im just annoyed that with the prize money significantly reduced there is potential for owners/connections to withdraw their horses in favour of other races. from an antepost view its moving the goal posts somewhat.
i do hope im wrong and that everyone supports the race and we have literally the same declarations that we had for saturday.for what its worth im on soldatino, so hopefully nicky will be one of those trainers supporting the rescheduled race. but they may be others that won’t.
methinks it has a lot to do with the BHA and newbury officials being put under pressure by the bookmakers to get it on at newbury at all costs to avoid refunding antepost bets despite the fact that it has been reopened to five day declarations (again) and they will now be running for reduced prize money which may lead some trainers/owners to bypass it in favour of other more valuable races.
hope im wrong but if im not its an absolute disgrace to anyone thats wagered antepost that may not get a run because of this.and finally……
quite fancy the pipe yard to make it a day to remember with DREAM ESTEEM in the lucky last.
has put in two good placed efforts from two runs this season, have travelled a bit too freely in them. hopefully it will be cherry ripe today and can finally get into the winners enclosure.
medium ew bet. (i also have it in an ew double with grand crus so im praying for a nice payout
)possibly backspin ran too free and a faster run race would have helped – im not sure.
anyway onto the banker of the day for me GRAND CRUS from the david pipe yard.
masssive improver this season and may well develope into a very serious world hurdle challenger to big bucks. if so will have to take this today and im on at 3/1 which i think is a very good price here.backspin just not good enough there
. the winner and the second look ones to follow at the festival for sure.next up Backspin.
much to like about this one performances so far and looks to be the one to beat here. quite like rock on ruby also but despite the price im happy to punt the JP horse in this.
large win bet for me
respect to neptune a great performance there. may well have got the run of the race but nevertheless right back to form for the old horse.
a winner
travelled and jumped superbly all the way round.next up the agento chase minus time for rupert.
PN runs two here in neptune collonges and the tother one, neither of which appeal to me. the pipe runner madison could go well IF on a going day but those are few and far between.
that leaves me with the market principles puncherstowns and the enigmatic tidal bay.punchestowns could well win this on the bridle and the fact that this is a small field further adds to the appeal for this one as it will be able to dominate methinks. however im going to take a chance on the complete monkey that is TIDAL BAY. backed this one when it won the arkle but have done my money quite a few times since. don’t think it will be a serious gold cup challenger ( neither will anything from this race) but it does have a good record here and may well be running on at the end to great effect.
not one to get serious about by any means so ket again a small bet – win only.
wishful thinking for me here.
im not the greatest fan of mr hobbs but this one has shown enough in its last two runs to convince me it will go well here.
open looking race and not really an each way price but it will still be a small w/p wager for me.
race went to form much to my embarassment
well done guys with the 1st and 2nd.ok onwards and downwards
130 Misstree Dancer, market drifter probably due to better ground having won and run well on soft/heavy. had a few of these behind lto but is a double figure price so again small ew w/p wager for me.
hi guys,
interesting juvenile coming up here but im not at all keen on any of the market principles.
may just have a very small w/p punt on the outsider Lapin Garou of Nick Mitchells. without doubt it will have to step up significantly fron its debut run but its not impossible. shame its only a 7 runner race from the each way perspective though.
some good looking fare coming up later on and im excited

. the winner and the second look ones to follow at the festival for sure.
