Ah Guesty.
Helped pull off my best ever coup with Red Maurader, Made perfect in the forecast with Smarty.
Remember being sat round friends house watching with 5 families and me f'in and blinding at the tv as 2 of them doing a circuit just needing to stand up for monster payout.
Happy days

Remember all these horses way better than some of the more recent ones. I remember backing Mole Board to beat a small field of shirkers, including Morley Street. He sat right at the back and just strolled past them all up the Sandown hill to win at 33s.
Royal Gait was another I remember from that era. Absolutely robbed in the Gold Cup when disqualified for minor interference despite winning by 5 lengths, came back and won the champion hurdle a few years later. I am fairly sure there was a stewards on that one after he weaved and bumped up the run in, but they couldn't disqualify him twice.
Obviously have to go back a long time to remember the long priced coups!
One of my friends at that time (a pro gambler) had his entire bankroll on Royal Gait getting the Ascot Gold Cup back on appeal at 1/5. It didn't and he had to go and get a job  |

Horrible, yet fascinating race to watch. Glad horse & Jock ok, but reckon Brennan rode a great race and Johnson a terrible one. Wouldn't give up on the horse yet.
Off now to scurry about for Morley Street...not quite of Camel's vintage...
If I remember correctly, Morley was beaten at least twice, maybe as many as 4 times, over fnces at the sort of price Fingal was today. I couldn't find a video of Morley winning the Aintree hurdle. One of the best rides any horse has ever been given imo Your mention of Morley Street made me think of one of Toby Baldings others Beech Road and in my head im sure a young AP McCoy gave it a fantastic ride in one of its later races (was a mudbath) to get it home at a big price could have been 50's. Ive tried to google to confirm and cant find it - just wondered if your encyclopedic racing memory could put me out of me misery  Beech Road was one of my dad's favourite horses. Won the 1989 Champion Hurdle at 50s or 66s. But was ridden by the polar opposite of AP McCoy... The jockey was Richard Guest! Ha ha thats my memory gone for a burton now. Hope things good with you Keith. |

Had a huge bet (£2 e/w) on Araldur today on the strength of this thread. Another one for Wayne.
Maybe increase stakes next time...

Interesting race at Folkestone. Thornton rides a decent race and Johnson on another Hobbs hotpot owned by the Whateleys(Menorah/Captain Chris etc) jumped and jinked all over the place. Having seen this happen to Johnson yesterday am really starting to believe that he does have some problems with his legs. Its happening too often to be the horses.

Quel Surprise. Hobbs on a Hobbs/Whateley newcomer, Ballytober, looked a good horse but jumped to the left at last and when Johnson put it under pressure towards the line jinked and almost chucked him off. The more I see the more I am convinced Johnson has a problem....still seems to be booting in the winners tho!

Think I shall point out one today ahead of the race. Up at Haydock Wayneo rides one called Bakbensher. Last couple of time Choc has riden it and in his last race managed to get it into every bit of trouble going when seemingly travelling well.
I shall be backing this each way, and hoping to see Wayne show how much better than Choc is once again. GL

Sketchy jumper but good form on testing ground and deffo in with a shout at the weights. I've had a dabble too. |
