I remain amazed as to why Coolmore favour Ryan Moore to Donnacha, on any horse that is ridden chilly. Donnacha is much better at riding horses that are dropped out, and that is just how Sergei Prokofiev has been ridden by Donnacha in the horses recent victories. A big mistake to draft Moore in for the race today. Hopefully lesson learned and Donnacha back on board for Kings Stand.

Would that be totally true?

Ryan Moore is a top class jockey, can definitely ride in more than one way and has more Group 1's to his name than Donnacha will ever get to?

I understand what point you're making, but really - Ryan Moore is better than Donnacha, and he isn't put on Coolmore horses for any other reason than he deserves to be.

The common misconception is that he chooses his rides, which doesn't seem to be the case.

John Constable tomorrow Kevin ?
last last last chance surely ?

Yep, I'm on already :highly_amused: - only had 1 bet for tomorrow which is an each way trixie (I'm "out" all day tomorrow with the wife so haven't really bothered to study and there are just far too many meetings to get stuck into without proper commitment)

Paul Kealy made the case for him well on the RP Podcast so I see he's moved from 10s into near fav. Justifiable.




Last last last chance, and then by the time we're in January I'll have forgotten and put him up at 40/1 for the County Hurdle for the last last last last time.

Each to his own, Kev. I am happier when Donnacha is riding one I have backed rather than Ryan. It’s probably based on their record of winning when I have backed them. Sir Dragonet at 14/1 with Donnacha riding being the latest case in point for my profits when Donnacha rides.

Absolutely.

Backing Paul Townend over Ruby might have given you the same feeling is the point I'm making though, one is better than the other however the market may over react to that ... therefore one may be better value ... as you're finding with Donnacha ....

But technically he's not a better jockey than Moore

Rip Orff (12/1) and John Constable (8/1) ew double is my only bet so far. I'm going to watch the European Cup final at St James today so probably won't see any racing.

Nice, enjoy.
I’ll be getting with Leinster SU and with a small start.

Christopher Wood and Qaysar ew double in those 2 races for me FM.

Good luck all

It looks like being a tight game so I might go under 38.5 points.

King Power racing have a couple of decent chances today but SDS has chosen Ascot for his retainers with Straight Right in the 4.0. I wonder if he was originally going for Fox Mafia in an earlier race but that one was pulled out in plenty of time for him to divert, with him chosing to stay at Ascot it could be a huge price at 25's with 6 places on offer.

Decent result.

I'm assuming 5 places Rip Orff?

I had Christopher Wood in a L.15 at Haydock Istabraq , Drew a Complete Blank - Nothing :sorrow:., over the Jumps.
Ironically I had Safe voyage ( haydock 4-20 ) in a Flat L.31 that won @ 6-1.

Benie Des Dieux and Melon are set to race at Auteuil this weekend, I believe against De Bon Coeur

Will be great to see and will show a true line across the standard of racing

 

[Kevloaf]

De Bon Coeur will absolutely mince them.

 

[Quevega]

De Bon Coeur will absolutely mince them.

4/6 vs 5/2 BDD
I'd back BDD for sure.

 

[Hurricane fly]

Benie won’t know what to do carrying 10’1 around

Should be a cracker

 

[Kevloaf]

4/6 vs 5/2 BDD
I'd back BDD for sure.

Haha, I've got absolutely no desire to back anything in the race.

Just be great to watch.




Too busy with Eurovision to care about poxy odds on shots
