  1. Well the money came...and again disappointed

    No blame on the jockey today, got the horse in a good position early though did not see much daylight in last half furlong

    Shaped like a step up in trip would be of benefit, and then we might see what his backers think the horse is capable of!

    Punted into favouritism again, but an X rated ride by the jockey:spank

    Same jockey rides Silastar again tomorrow at Chantilly [1.50]

    Be interesting if the money comes for the third race in a row, but the current 9-1 appeals each way with Bet 365

    I was taken by the win today of Wetlands

    Looks a lovely staying prospect despite still not the finished article and is in good hands.

    Would imagine he will not be risked again this season with the spring ground coming, but definitely a horse to put in your tracker  

    Got a couple of entries on Saturday which I would imagine would be his last run of the current campaign 

    Would probably go to Ayr as Brian Hughes would ride with the North getting behind him to retain his jockeys championship

    This week will hope Yu Liu can continue her momentum from last week

    Each Way [6 places] @ 125-1 Paddy Power

    Tied 19th and but for a horror 3rd round would probably have placed

    But signs her game is coming back and any 3 figure odds next time should be snapped up

    Finished almost last!

    But Yu Liu has her first start of the year this week, and would not like to see her go unbacked at 200-1 with Unibet

    At 80-1 Celine Boutier would also not be without a chance as played Ok in the season opener,and finished 4th on this weeks course last year

    Yu played much better to finish in the top 16 despite a poor opening round, but Boutier was very disappointing and missed the cut

  6. 2nd!

    Only beaten a neck, but again the race was lost with a sluggish break from the stalls and then in first half of the race never really in a good position and also running green.

    Did come to challenge the more experienced winner stylishly ,but run petered out close home when for me the energy levels used after the slow start emptied 

    But first two came clear, and I would be surprised if the Godolphin horse confirmed this form if they met again

    Anyone looking to follow a flat apprentice jockey over the next few months need to remember this name...

    Benoit de la Sayette

    Only 18 but already a star on the pony circuit and the fact is now under the tutelage of the legendary John Gosden tells you all you need to know

    Has already from only 8 rides ridden three winners and his current 7lb claim is a licence to print money!

    Lovely ride by Benoit to get his 3rd win on Hint Of Stars tonight

    Like that he is not whip happy, its all about rhythm and balance. Though obviously he will make mistakes, take a look at his ride at Newcastle last Saturday on the odds on Pitcher's Point

    As you do not go for home on that track so far from home, and he was on the wrong side. But he is learning his craft and be interested next time he rides that horse as totally unexposed on the turf

    French addition

    Le Nomade

    I think his Trainer Francis-Henri Graffard is hugely talented and this colt ran a lovely debut at Chantilly a couple of weeks ago, falling out of the stalls before running on to finish a close up 3rd

    Will be the market leader to win his maiden tomorrow over the same CD [12.25]

    Bet 365 have opened up at 7-4
