Tanya, no one is daft enough to bet on the scoop 6 today, surely?!

Never ceases to amaze me how Nevo keeps the gig on RUK.
Timeform bloke and Willow both in suits, Nevo in an old sweat like he is popping down the corner shop for a pint o milk.
Been all over Mange All for weeks now, but as ever, cometh the day and confidence ebbs away, so have saved on old pal Gabriel.
Over where the proper racing takes place, Master Dan looks a mighty fine price at 40-1 in the 3.35 at Stratford. Just hope they aren't out for a Saturday 3rd run stroll to get him handicapped.
Dan defo one to note for handicaps. Gabriel saves the day.  |

Somewhat unimpressed by the ride given to California Chrome there.

Our boys certainly stronger in the saddle than the fellas that ply their trade in the states. |

Let's hope Prince Bishop - UK all-weather horse of the year 2014 - remains the winner after he's undergone the wholly independent drug test.  | Click to see full-size image. |
 Ha, got that book this week. Should have read it  I don't know why the race would be suspicious. The ones at the front all looked to go too quick and 125 seems good enough to win it if that happens. I know I was pretty worried that my bet was already dead after they had done 2 furlongs. And presumably California Chrome only did as well as he did through his class getting him to the end? I'd have wanted him pushed less hard rather than harder in the circumstances. |

Chrome clearly had a terrible ride, going off too fast and too wide. Were there four horses vying for the lead early? But PB went even wider. | Click to see full-size image. |
 Just feel that if a September Stakes winner is good enough to burn past them like that after being lengths off the back and covered in kickback then the race is either bent or complete shit. (Didn't have a bet in the race - given my opinion of Dubai, probably for the best). |

Going to chance Safari Journey in the 4.30 Uttoxeter tomorrow 1 pt @ 7/2 with Choral. Won last time out and the third that day, Have You Had Yours beaten 6 3/4l went on to win at Newcastle today.
Apologies in the unlikely event anyone followed me in, obv the market soon told you all you needed to know. Was a pretty poor day for me personally with old fav's Brown Panther and Sole Power unaccountably going unbacked and Flintshire, The Grey Gatsby and Astaire finishing 2nd - at least they were backed with WH money back 2nd. |

Prize money huge, travel distances huge, and hard to get a bet on. Would be a hell of a bribe to make you throw that race. I don't think it was a shit race either, just a combination of early in the season, jockeys losing their heads when millions at stake and a bad surface creating a weird result. |

I didn't mean the others were fixed just that PB seemed to have made a very large improvement and no UAE horses has ever failed a drug test at home. Your description of the race is more than fair - certainly fairer than mine. |

Drugs was an issue but the issue was americans werent allowed it. CC hasnt been itself since losing the triple crown attempt anyway. The pace was obviously all wrong, shown by african story's run compared to prince bishop. sub 50s for 800m on a course running slow was stupid. Thought the whole meeting was rather spoiled by pace issues, froggies were gifted races. Amazing place though, especially the quality of the turf course.
