    What about Sri Diamond? He won the race last year so obviously likes the course and the distance and he has a fairly good rating with a win to his name this season. What do you reckon?<br>

    FSL I agree with you but I still feel people are quick to judge as I was, therefore today after a lot of thinking in bed, I amk going to cover the bet with an each way bet on exotic dancer :biggrin:

    I know you say these things about Kauto but be fair, even though he has made mistakes jumping, at no point did he look like falling, he always lands on his feet. Also Exotic Dancer hit one hard in the king george if I remember so you can’t count on him to stay up the whole way around. I also watched the Aon Chase when he had a battle with L’Ami and he was behind for a short time but he responded to Ruby and won the race. Finally Ruby himself said he believes Kauto will stay the distance as he tanked the whole race. Rant over lol I just have a lot riding on him tomorrow and I only ever see negative articles. The only positive ones are from the trainer and the owner.. who should surely know him best…

    i backed Material World because I saw the form in the paper and it reminded me of the bloke off of at the races that said it was a real battler. I thought if i have a bet at least ill get my moneys worth, as it happened i was pleased the way it ran and i doubled my money :D

    i backed that because looking at the form he had grade 1 success recently and I personally think that the trip was a bit to sharp for him, I shall certainly back him next time out but hopefully it will be a longer race as i think this will suit him a lot more

    Paddy Power.. some of their specials are amazing. When my local shop opened between me and my friend we must have been handed £120 worth of free bets. A great place though,

    I personally doubt denman. He is a great galloper but to me he seems to have one pace. I am looking forward to seeing Dom Dorgeval and Cailin Alainn head to head with him. I think he would find it hard. As nicholls himself says he is hard to get ready and in his races i feel he does the minimum asked of him.

    the thing i love about AP is that he will never ever give up on a horse until he reaches the line, unless he knows there is something wrong with the horse (Black Jack Ketchum) and then he is soft on the animal. I have always noticed Johnson comes second to AP in most things notably the riders championship but johnson is always a reliable jockey. I’d be priviliged to have either on a horse of mine!
