Wanderlust Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Just now, Wanderlust said: Hey Striker, What are your thoughts on Forever William at Thirsk. He is in my tracker with your name next to him, so I guess I got it off your list? Going is Soft and according to Accuweather there are showers during the day. It ran disappointingly on Heavy last year and its breeding does not scream out soft ground performer. Doh!! Just seen your quote above!. Maybe a wait and watch day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Lantern did today what Derab did when they met...pulled way too hard. Also think Snow needs to go up in trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didnt know what to do when he was leading. Couple of cracks by Crowley, I think it learnt a lot. The first 2, I think time will tell, are a couple of decent animals. He ran all the way to the line and seems sure to be aimed at middle distance handicaps. I backed it, but only first 2. I consider it money lent rather than lost because I am confident this horse will win races. A massive horse with the best to come, and understand he will now be gelded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 I am pretty excited about this next "horse to follow" Party House Thought this Irish filly ran a lovely race against the two O'Brien colts in a listed race last weekend, and would probably have won if the trip had been a furlong shorter She is in very good hands with Ger Lyons and will be a big surprise to me if not winning a Group race this summer yossa6133 and Wanderlust 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 5th! Got a strange ride I thought bringing her solo down the outer, which she seemed to take offence to but hopefully the filly is Ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Malawi & Mitigated Risk run in the same maiden tomorrow (2.55 Navan) The O‘Brien horse already been smashed into 4-6 and obviously should win easily. The Weld colt goes up in trip and wears blinkers and will be a each way price around 10-1, so a better run than last time can be expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 The Fav had every chance but got nailed on the line, looks a 2 miler Mitigated though had trouble in running disappointed but on the plus side his handicap mark now should be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Emporio is 100/1 for the Britannia!!! Thats way to big a price for a horse who finished 5th in a Group 1 2 runs ago. Yes it should have won its last race, where it was beaten a head in a maiden, but this horse finished 3l behind Lucky Vega, and 7l or so behind McSwinney and Poetic Flare, off level weights!! Now its 100/1 in a handicap. gbettle, Striker and MCLARKE 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Royal Ascot this week he’s had 20 rides so far, and ridden 1 winner - that being 11/10 favourite Love. Also worth bearing in mind that of those rides, 7 have been favourites!!

Striker Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Yes he certainly is a “marmite” Jockey Not helped by the fact his main stable run too many good horses in the one race For me the best rider in this country day to day is William Buick, and in the big races though I am not keen on him personally it is Dettori.

Agree re Buick mate. Don’t like how Frankie doesn’t seem to ride out a finish once he feels his chance of winning has gone.
