    Agreed, don't tell everyone though.
    Enable has so many fans I'm hoping that they both turn up, the ground is normal and the price for Ghaayaith touches 3-1 at some point.
    I'd accept 11/4 or 5/2 though.

      Yeah ive taken 3s earlier this week, she is the altior of the flat. but she's also getting on like he is and I think Ghaiyyth is a monster and now 5 and has apperently matured..... if she is going to get beat , it will be on a stiff 10 furlong track , on quick ground against a nutcase like ghayyth.. the thing goes to post with a red hood looking like superman for christ sake!!

        I said don't tell everyone and now you're saying he's a superhero
        He's a bit risky though as he could easily self destruct.

            Ha ha ! I have started a new thread on this where we can discus.... I dont think our 5 pts will be moving a multi million pound market on this one! i am sure favorite backers will have some hefty wages on enable so our pennies wont move the current odds


            How do I move a thread? if anyone with the know how reads this , please move previous comments onto the new thread

              This might be the English Oaks thread, but for the Irish Oaks, Cheyenne Pepper ran a lovely trial yesterday. Awaiting prices for her, doubt she'll a good price.

                  Jessica Harrington's super-battalion of fillies are noticeable by their absence.

                  Odds-on now to blow her chances of winning an English or Irish Classic with them now she has ducked Epsom, and made it a Frankly Darling vs AOB battle.

                    ...she has Gold Maze entered for the Derby. Surely she can’t!!

                      Who ran the stats on when Aidan O'Brien only sends one to a race?

                      Is his record better if that's limited to fillies?
                      Is his record better if that's limited to classics?
                      Is his record better if that's limited to the Guineas?
                      Is his record better if that's limited to the Oaks?

                        I haven't backed anything and probably won't get involved.

                        Just a couple of thoughts.

                        I think Love ideally wants really quick ground. If the rain stays away she wins and 6/4 looks really good but if it doesn't it might be a different story.

                        I don't think the Ribblesdale was a proper test of stamina. Both the first two might be better at 1m2f.

                        Having said I wouldn't I have had a little each way on Gold Wand at 25/1. I don't think she can beat the favourite unless it rains but fingers crossed it does.

                          Judging by her action, I think Love will be in big trouble if the rain arrives.

                          Frankly Darling to beat the AOB battalion for me

                            Hope you are right FM, have her at 40's, thanks to someone on here (apologies, can't remember who put her up pre Newcastle run).
