Doncaster Festival -

I've struggled with that race, which mean I shouldn't bet.
But I will.
I like the same two.
Have backed sacred today in a double with Ghalyoon. But not made my mind up on a proper bet yet.
 
Was stuck into Sacred at York but felt a couple of things went against her.

Have for stuck into her again here for compensation.

me too.I loaded in at 3s last night. I've realised that the more intricate the race appears the more it excites me from a betting point of view ( strange i know) , i should reduce the stakes but instead i increase! The sussex stakes springs to mind and yes I got that right with Mohaather! - for all of you worried about my strategy, dont worry its already 'spent money' .. but i really like the look of this race
 
Saturday 2:25 ACRECIBO 10/1 - SKY BET PLAYING 6 PLACES.

I know a few of you like this horse .. I would get on , hes dropped another pound and is well drawn for a good tow into the race. 10/1 will go soon
 
A Moment of Madness - Portland handicap saturday.
Not the best price, about right I suppose.

Only one pesky three year old this year - Meraas.

Beaten by Oxted last year off a rating of 95,
Won it the year before off a rating of 99.

Still only 7 and almost certainly aimed at this race, and ran well last time at Goodwood (form franked a bit)

Now rated 91.
Has to go close in a 5 1/2 furlong race thats clearly suited to the horse.

I'm going 2pts at 7-1 and will back again if it drifts.

Agree with you Q. Backed him the other day for the race. Loves the race, probably aimed at it, surely goes close.

Yes A momentofmadness deserves to be bang in the shake up. The one I like at a price is Wedding Date. Not beaten far in the Stewards cup. Ran well behind a smart one in a fillies race at Haydock two starts back. Dropped 2 pound and Theodore Ladd takes off another 3, I think 25/1 represents value with 6 places available.
 
Most of Favourites getting supported for tommorow.
Crowley got a good looking book of rides again.

He's a jump jockey ain't he?

I'm on 7B. He struggles to win but always shows his best in this type of race. I'll be disappointed if he isn't in the first 6.

I’m still bitter about his ride on Mohaather at Ascot. Bloody had 14s on him for that awful group 1 and Crowley got him beat. The horse then goes on to be the champion miler ffs.
