“Chelmsford (not today’s track!)”.
Thats the one at Galleywood, you can still walk around most of it. The church is in the middle and the Horse and Groom pub is still right by the course.
Had my 1st AZ jab 3 weeks ago. Had arm ache a day later and no other problems.
I still do as Gamble said last year and keep a coffin distance away from others as much as possible.
I can only go back to the year 2000 as that is when I became obsessed with Flat Racing, so,
1st, Frankel,
2nd, Sea the Stars,
3rd, Camelot.Keep Your Distance. Richard Thompson.
If I cross your path again,
Who knows where,
Who knows when
On some morning without number,
On some highway without end
Don’t grasp my hand and say
“Fate has brought you here today”
Oh fate is only fooling with us, friend
Keep your distance, oh keep your distance
When I feel you close to me what can I do but fall
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Ah with us it must be all or none at all
It’s a desperate game we play,
Throw our souls, our lives, away
Wounds that can’t be mended
And debts that can’t be paid
Oh I played and I got stung
Now I’m biting back my tongue
I’m sweeping out
The footprints where I strayedI might be barking up the wrong tree or just barking mad but with some of the over the winter fancied runners and Saxon Warrior looking unlikely to run maybe its the time to look further down the betting order.
If what John Gosden said during the Craven Meeting is correct in that when his colts run in a maiden 1st time out they are only about 80% fit and therefore if they win 1st time out they are very special, then what about “Without Parole” At 80% fit he was given a RPR of 92 when winning a 8f maiden at Newcastle. If he had been 100% fit he might have won by further and got a RPR of 115 (92/80*100=115).
There are negatives, what he beat that day have raced since achieving little and he is currently entered in a Yarmouth novices race in 3 days time where he will have to carry 9 stone 9lbs, a 7lb penalty. If he actually runs there then its only a week and a half to 2000 Guineas day. Why not run in the 2000 Guineas carrying 9 stone 0lbs instead?
Looking to the past, Golan only won a Chepstow 7f Maiden as a 2 year old receiving a RPR of 92 and then won the 2000 Guineas 1st time out.
“Looking back to page 1 of this Thread and have to congratulate ‘Threenaps’ who pinpointed Wings Of Eagles as far back as last September 2016..he’s unavailable for comment at the moment as just booking his round the World cruise.
Well done threenaps just for pinpointing him..hope you got some good prices and backed him. :good:”Many thanks Typtych and Voleur, I liked his breeding but because he had not achieved much in his career I did not back him !!! Kicking myself now, the cruise will have to wait…
Is there a website that gives the dates of when the 2017 French group races are to be run ?
