English Classics

I know the vast majority prefer the Jumps (including myself), but has anybody had any long distance pokes or multis on the Flat Classics.

I’ve managed to have the Derby winner the last 2 years.... in long term ante-post bets for the St Leger! So I’m likely going to look that way again this year.

Really like The Pentagon for the Derby, he looks the right type and to me he is more likely a Derby prospect than Saxon Warrior. Elarqam is one I have backed for the 2000G, but again could be one for the Derby if his stamina is there.

I really like the form and look of NELSON for the derby, I haven't seen anybody else talk about him as a derby contender and theres a couple of obrien hype horses but I'll be interested to see which trial he goes for, as I personally think he could well be the pick of the obrien bunch come later in the season.


I like SEPTEMBER ew in the 1000 gns
She will appreciate the trip and really appreciate the strong pace , shes a whole different animal when shes given a toe imto the race with a strong pace upfront. And was extremely unlucky in her trial.


Have a horrific record of big priced antepost 2nds In the classics, apart from backing winter in the 1000 gns and jet setting in the irish Guineas Iv had the 2nd in every classic the last few years long range antepost. Had the 2nd in the guineas every year since I started backing antepost in 2008 apart from the winner in 2013.
