Striker

Seasonal debut is tomorrow at Kempton [5.45]
Put in at 7-4...not eased despite big punt on the Watson newcomer from 3-1 into 11-10!

Not sure I totally agree, yes it was a better ride, (could hardly have been worse) but still think the jockey got him trapped up the inside rail and did not show him any daylight to get any sort of a run, not sure seemed to get a gap run and stopped because gap had gone again. Seems a tight track with not a lot of space.

My main bookie does not offer prices on French racing.
My secondary bookie (RaceBets) offer only 2/1 Silastar!!!!! 
My 3rd bookie only offers Tote prices for horses other than U.S racing.
So its looking like a Tote bet for me!!

No money yet, drifted to 12-1 on bet365. I would have been more confident if a different jockey. What’s the system in France is it 3 runs for a handicap mark as over here, if so with another bad run could be interesting on the 4th run? Looked the possible winner in last race and finished 9th. I’ ve had a couple of quid E/W at 12’s let’s hope the jockey has had some advice!

With 48 hour decs I'll generally put my bets on today but after trawling through since 11 I only fancy a couple on day 1 & with ante post only Champagne Platinum in the Pertemps ( only entry ) & Al Boum Photo in Gold Cup , think both have been laid out a long time ago for their races .
I'll probably have a maximum of 10 bets over the 4 days 3 or 4 win bets & 6 or 7 each ways where the favourite looks worth opposing . 

It’s disappointing but at least we have a festival . The supreme has completely broken up. 

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

66/1 for 2000 guineas

Good luck today

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

Shame on you Striker!!!!!
You didnt add it to your horses to follow list!!
Luckily I caught it on this thread. ?

Good luck? .
I'll stick with Sophia Popov again for outright at 70/1 and, more realistically, top 10 finish at 5/1.
Also backed Angel Yin each way at 110/1. She is very inconsistent and will probably have at least one poor round to offset the birdie machine she can be. Finished 7th last week so in form.

One of the regulars on Sky Sports Sunday morning racing forum/debate show has lost his job ....... Chris Cook of The Guardian has left the paper after being informed by management that they wished to reduce their racing coverage

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

Last season Sophia Popov improved her profile considerably with 3 wins on the Cactus Tour in Arizona at a time when there was no other ladies' golf taking place due to the pandemic. She showed her improvement was far from a fluke by winning the Womens Open at Troon.
Popov opened this season with a creditable top 10 at Diamond Resorts in Florida and could figure prominently again at this week's event in Orlando, Florida.
Sophia Popov is 90/1 generally and can also be backed on Spreadex' leaderboard Index where she is 5 to buy (top 8 players to count).

Thyme Hill was also cursed last year!!! 

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

Yep, that will play a big part. 

I’d love Paisley Park to win but I think Richard Johnson will make sure there’s no hard luck stories this time on Thyme Hill . Paisley obviously still has it but I don’t think he’s quite as good as he was and he won’t get away with how he ran lto at Ascot even though he won. 

Stayers Hurdle-Thyme Hill
Should be unbeaten this season, my banker of the week
Currently 4-1 with Bet 365 or 7-2 NRNB

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!

Dark horse addition..
Navegaon Gate
This Ed Walker colt was 4th on debut in a ordinary back end maiden, but thought he got a lovely introduction to the sport by Tom Marquand who is so good on first time juveniles and this horse will repay that kindness
