yes you are probably correct, be interested to see the horse on turf next
-
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
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

Stayers Hurdle-Thyme Hill
Should be unbeaten this season, my banker of the week
Currently 4-1 with Bet 365 or 7-2 NRNB
Non Runner!
Is it me or is the Festival looking not the same this year as the day one declarations coming through are disappointing with small select fields compared to previous years
- calva decoy and Wanderlust

Non Runner due to a temperature

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

Shame on you Striker!!!!!
You didnt add it to your horses to follow list!!
Luckily I caught it on this thread. ?
Never got involved after failing to settle early in a race dominated by the first two...still at least his flat turf mark has been protected!

Good luck today
7.20 Chelmsford-Pitcher's Point
Each Way @ 15-2 Bet Victor
Mentioned this horse on the "General Chat" as one to follow when going on the turf. This is a super competitive race but first time cheekpieces are of interest
- Wildgarden, Wanderlust and yossa6133

The man has done more harm with that image than any single incident in my racing history

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

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

Thyme is also 2 years younger than Paisley which I think is an advantage
