Think In Pursuit is too big at 14-1 for 7.55 Epsom. Suggest whatever your standard minimum win bet is or a larger bet hopefully to lay some off shorter later in the day.

Sire has a remarkable record over 12f  5/5 wins albeit well fancied runners. Was initially looking at Syrdarya for this, may also be a smidge of value at 8/1

In Pursuit was NR,   Syrdarya 2nd beaten a nose.  Having one of those spells of backing lots of runners up.

6.30 at haydock 5f, no stalls, favourite does a spin at the start, utter comedy.

kingsgate native (2-00 Sandown) looks a bet tomorrow at 9/1 ew 1/4 odds with corals. Hes got decent sandown form and seems as good as ever. Smaller field size usually suits him, so he doesnt meet traffic and 11 will be fine. ew terms is pretty essential as hes prone to finding a way to lose. A couple shouldnt be in there as theyd be getting chunks one way or another in a handicap from others.

Wow. Waady, Both first two would have pulled well clear with smoother passages

V Impressive.

I'm sure others will see if differently, but couldn't help feeling that another jockey could have done better on Gatsby.

Frank looked weak next to Frankie in a battle, and held up a little longer could have seen things end in a different result.


I remain truly amazed at how many people trust their top horses with him. Yes, he had had great results, but given the chances he has had, I suspect so would many.


PS, No fiscal involvement in the race! #unbiased

Didn't seem too happy being interviewed by the ex before the race either

Missed that. Always enjoy watching the pair of them squirm when forced into that situation.

Still cant believe hanaggan has the job he does. Every season they have great horse that take the heat off of how bad he is.

Spencer is pretty awful, he should have retired.

I didnt really understand why the great gatsby run in that race giving such a weight pull. Should have withdrawn until later in the season when the weights were different. How is 3/4 11lb, pointless, ruined the race and tbh took all credit for golden horns win over older horses.

TBF mate, the horses need to run during the season, and an awful lot of cash, even for turning up. £100k for coming second, not bad. Sad that Frank gets a chunk of that for what I thought was a poor ride.

Think they had plenty of reroutes, GH plan was known and they are flogging the horse a bit now. Doesnt the fact that he never stood a chance help keep a bad jockey in the saddle aswell?

Oh yes, for sure. Others will se it as a good ride from Frank and help to perpetuate the myth. Even Dettori said he rode a great race, which I had to laugh at, as he kicked Spencers butt!!

Anyone got anything to recommend for York races tomorrow?
