In to 7/2 favourite now.
That'll be down to Ryan electing* to ride him.

*On more than one occasion I've Heard Kevin Blake (race planner for Joseph) state that the jockeys at Ballydoyle have no say in who they'll actually ride, Aiden tells them who'll they be sitting on and that's that. Including Ryan.

Boveau D’air returns to form under Davy Russell, deputising for the injured Mark Walsh whom in turn was deputising for the injured Barry Geraghty :)


Davy gave him a great ride. Apples Jade disappointed again, recall us raising a cautionary note regarding her form in the Spring prior to Cheltenham, looks like they still haven't solved the problem.

Got this one spectacularly wrong. Just finished crunching the numbers on Calyx and they confirmed the visuals, looks an out and out sprinter on my figures. May try further in time but later rather than sooner :)

Not a great field for the 2000 think Skardu , trainer Wiillie Haggas jockey James Doyle currently trading at around 7/1 has a good chance !

Great training performance from Henderson to get Fusil Raffles fit enough to win the big 4 year old hurdle race at P’town.

Sensational aftermath to Kentucky Derby.

The second favourite, Maximum Security, wins handily enough but loses on an OBJ to an event which happened three furlongs out and which never really affected the runner up, Country House @ 66/1, but the placing are reversed.

Here's the race. He does go wayward but as ol' Pet, how much effect did it have?

Luke Morris - not only does he have the unfortunate facial appearance of one who is permanently constipated, but is one of the worst jockeys of those who appear to try hard.

Fuck me. Andrew Breslin is a dreadful (or bent) jockey. He unfailingly disappoints.

Wow......that Sir Dagobert sure looked good in the Chester Vase.

He will be a short price for the Derby if Too Darn Hot has failed to train on and is chinned in the Dante.

Gosden’s filly looked good in the Cheshire Oaks as well.

A pair of potential superstars.
