Start of Goodwood today

Gone for a Goodwood double on Pinatubo 2.25 who was extremely impressive as Ascot (expect Visinari to improve a lot, but will have to!),  and Strativarius 3.35, better than 3/1 double most bookies.

Been waiting for Buck Dancing to run again after his very profitable win for us at Southwell last time. He beat For Jim who duly bolted up on his next start at Perth so proof that you had two very well handicapped horses as nothing got near them at Southwell. He is back over fences tomorrow and even off a 10lbs higher mark I still think he is well handicapped. As I said prior to the Southwell race I think the handicapper has underrated the Stratford run behind Earth Leader and Buck Dancing looks more like a 120 horse. Interestingly connections have stepped him up to a class 3 here and the fact he is running against a horse who finished 4th in the Summer Plate (El Terremoto) shows what a different level we are dealing with. Still he gets a lot of weight from him and El Terremoto isn't proven at this trip. Old Salt won at Cartmel on the same day as the Summer Plate and looks like he will stay this far, but I thought that race fell apart with the ground seemingly against a few. Powerful Symbol is likely to make the running and although well beaten by Ascokastar in the end at Worcester that was his first run for a while and so could come on for that. With Bells Of Ainsworth not having run since last April I think Buck Dancing has a decent chance of going in again and 7/2 is a fair price to land the 7.25, with Powerful Symbol the main danger.

1.50 Goodwood First Setting is running into form looks a soild e/w bet at  12/1 paying 5 places 1/5 also  have it in a small e/w double with  4.45 GW Boom The Grroom 12/i1  5places 1/5

I still can’t believe Buck Dancing was stuffed at Hexham in May. Still it helped the handicap mark at least and we have more than got our money back since

You called that exactly! Well done and thanks
