I suppose there was always some doubt with that the Cup Final might go to extra time, penalties, then you've got all the presentations and post-race interviews and chat .... it could have gone on until well after 6pm so it would be tricky to schedule the Derby not knowing what time the football might finish .......... I guess it was just safer and more certain to put it on before the match ....... and that meant more than an hour before 3pm because ITV wanted to get on with the match 'build up'

I suspect that with the protests we're going to get so fed up waiting for the race that it'll just be a damp squib (not squid!...... 😉)

1 Military Order 2 Passenger 3 Sprewell good luck !

Carl 1.40 - Kylian - win at 8/15 wm hill

7.55 Carl - World Without Love - win at 5/1 bet365

oh ........ the live stream has been taken down .......... a few minutes before the race Ah well........ that's YouTube ...... 😜

Noticed a live Yoube stream for the Preakness Stakes which is due off at Midnight....... second leg of the Triple Crown and the Kentucky Derby winner, Mage, is running Stream has the American ads !

As I'm down to 2 points I think I'll Retire Hurt and come back out to bat next season ! thanks for the marathon admin Avongirl ...... 👍 good luck everyone !

2 points on Sheff Wed at 2.60 cheers

Just looking at how the odds are moving with just over an hour to the big race and with the ground now 'good to soft' Auguste Rodin is still favourite but is drifting and is around 9/4 Little Big Bear and Chaldean steady at about 5/1 Royal Scotsman and Silver Knott steady at around 10/1 Noble Style is being backed ...... now in to 12/1 Sakheer drifting that's the top 7 in the market ......

4 points to win on Bayer Leverkusen at 1.57 cheers !

I thought Noble Style could be an EW punt ........ 20/1 with Laddies & Corals Unbeaten, won 3 times at two, won the Gimcrack after winning Novice races at Ascot and Newmarket Godolphin colt trained by Charlie Appleby and with James Doyle riding
