York Ebor Meeting

At last, a decent return at the Ebor meeting - Coltrane bolted up. :applause:

I always check out all Andrew Balding’s handicappers at the Ebor meeting, and fortunately went for Coltrane this week.

He didn’t have many this year, (a couple of losers earlier in the week) and Coltrane was the only one that appealed.

He’s got four long shots left, today, Ranch Hand & Shailene in the Ebor, the York specialist Pivoine in the 10F race 6, and Never Dark ridden by an apprentice only having their 6th race in the last.

I’ve got San Donato in the next.

Then in the Ebor: Fujairah Prince and Alright Sunshine.

Got back into profit now, on the meeting, so the heat is off. :mad-new:

That's why I've had to back Ranch Hand. He'll really like the rain and the ground appears to be proper hard work from the first few races. But so will the likes of Trueshan and Monica Sheriff. I'm not going to back more horses as already have 4 but if I did, it would be Monica Sheriff.
 
I must have the read of this race wrong - however:


10/3 in the without market
7/2 win (cover bet 3 places)
6/5 to place
and 4/1 (5 pl) at 1/5

I'm backing all 4 of them, to add to the 5/1 I took last night.



I'm just convinced he'll be involved at the business end of the race - he finds for pressure so I'll be gutted if he isn't close to winning.

Well done Kev
 
Thanks mate, decent ride - took advantage of there being no front runner, ground looks to have gone in his favour by the off and as anticipate/hoped he did find for pressure.

Nice one..."Love it when a plan comes together"...lighting a HUGE cigar

Wowsers ! That's rather good !
 
Love a grey.......bit like me.
 
whilst there are a few i’m keen on tomorrow, realistically my week will come down to how fujaira prince gets on from here now. Wouldn’t swap my antepost ticket on him for anything else in the race. He’s firmly the one to beat in my eyes.


get him home baby!!!!
 
Well done Kev, MoM, Ista and other winners today.

Looks like it's been a good day:encouragement:
 
... Well Done to all you winner's .. :applause:.
Did Dave nevison's L.15 myself , so happy with Glencadam Glory 2nd.
At a price.
