....to win Lingfield trial & Oaks:

Technique 50-1
Ocean Road 66-1
Divinely 125-1
Save a Forest 150-1
Sherbert Lemon 200-1
 
Teona to win the musidora and oaks is 6/1 on Sky specials, that is pretty bad considering she's available at 5/1 just for the oaks in some places.

Noon star is 11/1 to do the same double.

Considering the money now coming for noon star to win tomorrow, the value (what's left of it) seems to be with her if you fancy any of them doing the double.
 
....Musidora/Oaks double:

Teona 13/2 Hills & Sky
Noon Star 8-1 Hills; 10-1 Sky (3-1 place Sky)

Noon Star Musidora/Oaks & High Definition Dante/Derby 110-1 Sky
 
....Sky have Santa Barbara 33-1 Oaks/Arc.
 
....Sky have Santa Barbara 33-1 Oaks/Arc.

That could look very attractive for some. 3yo fillies have a super record in the Arc and most if not all have won an English or French Oaks. We're she to win at Epsom it'll be odds on she goes to Longchamp and probably as Favourite.

I don't understand why Teona is almost half the price of Noon Star as things stand.

Noon Star finished ahead of her in the Musidora and I think she'll be perfectly suited by the further step up in trip.

I'm close to having a bet on her ew at 12s.

Zeyaadah at current prices looks a strong bet for me.
not really asked much or positioned best in Cheshire oaks. Had to hold position when the winner had already got into stride off a sensible gallop.
as long as Jim don’t fuck it up I really fancy this one.

She was the one I finally plumped for too

As a sidenote to Teona, surely anyone wanting to bet on her now would need to see how she handles getting loaded into the stalls.

She reacted badly before her trial but if she was a bit more straightforward on Friday, I'd be tempted for a last minute bet before the off, have got zeyaadah in a multiple already but haven't really settled on anything in this race.
 
Cheers Lobos so it's back to the drawing board.

Can't help thinking that Santa Barbara is going to do something very special. Not often AOB goes seriously overboard about any of his horses but you get the impression she is right up there with the best of his best ever fillies at home the way he talks her up. Can she do it on the course though ?
 
Cruised into the guineas then found nothing for pressure with a questionable head carriage

Didnt shape like she wanted another 4 furlongs and her breeding backs this up

Would be avoiding her like the plague myself until iv actually seen her put up a top performance

Doesn't look a particularly good renewal however

Thought she just looked like a big imature inexperienced baby in the Guineas and she was ridden accordingly and not knocked about. She will be a much different proposition Friday and will be ridden to win this time. She has to prove she stays but to me she looks as though she'll love the 12f. I reckon she'll be absolutely walloped in the betting and could go off around evens. I do hope she wins .

I own a share in Mystery Angel so it's going to be an exciting day on Friday. I'm not convinced by the depth in this year's race, just don't think it's a vintage crop of 3 YO fillies. Mystery Angel wasn't right at York so hopeful we can get a little closer to Snowfall over a longer trip. Realistically, anything better than 6th would be a great effort but who knows, she's more exposed than most but she's tough as nails and will handle the track fine.

....very best of luck, I’m sure you’ll have a memorable day.
 
Cheers mate!! Going need plenty of luck.:excitement:

With her experience and the incredibly hot form the trainer is in this season she has every chance of a top 6 spot. How exciting. I wish you all the luck.
