    It sure was Ruby.

    One of the best rides you’ll ever see. I was thinking ”what the hell are you doing man” at one point but he knew exactly what he was doing and got his fractions down to perfection.

    He completely outrode the French at their own track.

    What a blatant scam that was today. He’d have been 1/2 odds minimum today if trying.

    Bet365 boost and then not surprisingly a drifter on the exchange.

    Ran like a mule.

    Online bookies have gotten so huge that even Coolmore are working with them. Games completely gone.

    I didn’t do the boost just for the record.

    He’s got no chance in a Gold Cup at 10yo and doubtful stayer of 3m2f.

    Gaelic Warrior will stuff him if he turns up.

    Get In!!

    She was my only bet of the day. I backed her Antepost for this just after she crossed the line in her prep.

    ”King Rasko Grey over fences?”

    He’ll be no match for Old Park Star imo.

    I think Narcisco Has could be quite exciting if he’s back next season.

    His moneys made long ago riding for McManus and now that’s he’s no longer No1 jockey, is it worth the risk at 40yo?
    He’s the same age as McCoy and Geraghty and older than Walsh when they retired.

    I think it’s silly to risk serious injury now at his age. Graeme Lee said the handy money was keeping him going but now would give up every winner he ever rode for good health.

    He should retire on a high now at 40yr old.

    Fuming at myself for switching from Saratoga to the fav just before the off. Should’ve known Mullins horse was a non trier when bookies offering 3/1.

    Really can’t understand why Kennedy was so keen to force the pace there on a mare who’s never raced beyond 2m4f. The earlier races have shown it’s taking some getting today also.

    I didn’t think there were any stars in this race but those front 2 certainly are.

    Take the winner out and Aidan would be calling Gstaad the best he’s ever trained lol.

    Have gone with Oxagon at 12/1 but don’t have a strong opinion on the race.

    She sure is but it was a really mediocre renewal.

    Townend needed a good jump at the last there and got it thankfully. I think the fav has run flat overall.

    He was too short to bet straight but I have him in an acca and heart was in my mouth with Cobden closing like a freight train.

    Have 3 up with 2 to go now. Wodhooh & True Love in the Guineas.

    Get In. Thanks Ruby.

    Townend almost complete ballsed that up at the start. He was foolishly anticipating a false start and lost his place due to that. He then very nearly came off at the first.

    A great ride from then on though.

    A brilliant mare. Would’ve been good enough for 2nd in the Champion Chase this year.

    The best thing that ever happened Wonderwall was to land in 2nd over the last.

    It’s On The Line always stops in front.
