Breeder’s Cup

Some waffle on Twitter about River Tiber and Tamara being out. Taking it with a pinch of salt unless someone knows something.

Utter bollocks I've seen nothing from the American DRF journos I follow
 
River Tiber has been taken out the market by Betfair like. On the exchange. Must be a NR

Tamara still in

Thanks, managed to get on a load of Cheltenham rollovers with Unquestionable at 7/2 just in case it was true.
 
There'll be a big rule 4 on that like. It's day of the race.
 
Shards @ 33/1 e/w 4 places

Slider @ 11/1 e/w 4 places

Juvenile Turf Sprint

As benjy says be a huge rule 4 so won’t matter the price you got to what he is now SS.
 
Kevin Blake saying the European scratchings are on vets advice and trainers are extremely unhappy!

Horses in their usual condition etc as they always are.

Yanks need all the help they can get to win a turf race

Similar happened with polydream a few years ago iirc

Iv backed unquestionable at 2/1

Thinks he's a better bet than river tiber was at the same price

His form splitting rosallion and beauvatier on quick ground in the lagadare is very good
 
Bolshoi ballet blocked from running tomorrow by the vets

2pts win Warm Heart @3/1

WARM HEART should be favourite for this race over the mercurial Inspiral, who to my eye has a lot to prove at this trip. Inspiral can sulk and her tendency to completely blow out doesn’t seem to be factored into her price, whereas Warm Heart is a model of consistency when getting fast ground. She arrives here off the back of two Group One successes – and I’ll note that Aidan O’Brien would never have a filly fully tuned for the Prix Vermeille on the Arc Trials card so I’m expecting improvement again. She stays extremely strongly and has loads of battle and pace, so with an excellent draw she’s going to be incredibly hard to beat here. Inside her is the likely pace angle in the race, In Italian, so she should have no issues slotting in behind or upsides her from stall two. I’m having a hard time seeing anything else good enough to win besides Lumiere Rock, who has fared really badly from the draw.​

​
 
Can't be having her as quick enough myself. Even if Inspiral manages to beat herself by being slowly away / too keen then I expect something else to take advantage rather than Warm Heart.

Yeah I'm not sure she has the speed for this test

And the races she's been winning have been pretty weak group 1s

Think I'm gonna just skip the race as I don't really like any of them

Aye, it's a tricky one. No singles for me but just because it's early in the card though I've involved Inspiral in some multiples.

And I'm going to have a nibble (each way) on Lindy with Mawj just as a small related double, to try and increase my stake on the latter and/or get a bit of place cover.

I'd like to see Inspiral prove her class but there's too many doubts for me to get seriously involved in her at the price now.
 
Tamara boosted to 7/4 on B365 for anyone that fancies and missed the price. If there ever was one...

I completely swerve the dirt races these days

Half of them seem to be an absolute burn up and an outsider wins

The jockeys in America are clueless at times its like they've been told they will be shot if they don't front run

See 4 of them in a line at the bend and they finish in the last 4 places
