Great article: http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/apr/29/ryan-moore-air-force-blue-2000-guineas?CMP=share_btn_tw

Cheers for posting that, Brent.

Moore is certainly an interesting character.

Great read is all, hadn't meant to post God damn blackberry.

A few things have come together and I really like one tomorrow.

Antioco is one I put in the notebook last year that I thought would improve this year stepped up to 12fplus, as he is a Motivator colt. During the winter he appears to have been gelded and moved stables from Botti to Fahey.

So, with tomorrows race being over 12f, and him being now owned by The Good Doctor, who basically wants to win every race at Chester(despite Fahey saying tomorrow is all about learning about the horse) tomorrow looks like he may well be primed to run for his life, and 10-1 looks worth an investment.

Cheers mate, and gl us!

I saw this post last night, & though I almost never bet outside of Fred stuff these days, was strangely tempted to have a small interest, by the tone of your post.

I was working when I saw it, so I sent myself a reminder note - "Adzy's horse, have a bet in the morning".

I just got round to it, & the 10/1 now appears to be 13/2 best.

Keep smashing the value out of it, but they just don't win when I post.

Can only apologise if you followed me in.

[BorntoBubble]

No apology needed!

No apology needed! Useless ****

FYP

Absolutely this, your posts are appreciated. I thought it didn't like the track, looked almost immediately unhappy constantly on the turn.

We can keep both in if you like!

Adz knows better than to apologise, the superstitious fishcake!

[BigAdz]

Always disappointing when they run so bad, and it makes me feel better to apologise. Just a personal thing.

Anyway, it turns out it sustained quite a serious injury, during the race, and if it is seen again, it wont be for a long time.

[Marky147]

Just messing, I know you do

Shame about the injury, and hopefully the horse makes a recovery.

Frankel - When will we start seeing the fruit of his loins as it were?

Is there particular excitement about anything he has sired so far?

Assume he will continue to Stud until he is no longer capable - what age is that for a horse in general?

Any idea how much it would it cost to "stand" a horse with Frankel?

£125k is Frankel's stud fee.
