  • R1/ This looks an even 3yo race where the logical winner is Thunderstrut; coming back to fave distance. But I will find a way out of choosing the winner and go for the Taylor Your Song gelding Its Got It All; amazing trial recently; hopefully eratic…
  • 3:-O Not much luck Source for me with the Vatican trainer!But I will put him in. R/2 DDLR easing and the top weight coming in.I'll switch to the bottom one ; PK and Gangemi combo. My hunch in R4/ firming big time; will rush down now to se what I can…
  • I'm off OS for 3 weeks; so my summary thoughts today. R/1 Like the tipster I worry about KTB with slow past sectionals and wide barrier.Iike the LS Bracca hors but the odds seem too good. F and R is so short; prob the winner! R/2 I have a real hunch…
  • Finally making a post ; ignore the previous emoji as i was trying and trying to get on board. Any way R1/ I liked Kelly's too becos of it's Sat win wit good last sectional. The fave did not beat much on a Wed. R2/ I thought Pearls and Dynamite; cou…
  • R/1 i'll be watching; it will be good to the fave win though.R2/ Hard of Heart is v short at 4.2. One of my fave or not fave trainers with Undisclosed (reminds me of Charles Laughton, a great actor).I have had a tickle on Guns of Navarone; soft trac…
  • Those who know a bit....and those who are clueless (I'm in that club) were shouting Super Maxi, Super Maxi, Super Maxi......Class horse, ex C.Waller, in Gangemi Stable, formula of ES purchases working etc etc....and that was yesterday!! Anyway, they…
  • My understanding of Tricky Trev's interview was that Worth Square had a sensitive constitution while the Mega horse was like a bull!Now I'm worried after Paddy seemed to give the slows on Pounamou and it's blowing; out to 4.8 here!MM is in to 3.4 fa…
  • Yeah; I think only Willie could have won on Arcadia Pricnce; stole it off the 2 Paddies!
  • But I like taking unders on a certainty!
  • I think itr's our tipster on radio said you can't complain if you bet on an apprentice that becomes stuck in traffick; no sympathy for us mug punters!
  • MM out in the first; I'm on to DMB; dour stayer in the wet. In R/5 Reyk.....and Paddy's have the blows; will couple the fave and Beat the Devil (great film with Bogart , Morley and ...Lollabrigida, just like the dam! Truman Capote did the screenplay…
  • R1/ I'm right with TS here; Master Musician on speed with good sectionals before and hopefully tomorrow too. And yes; I'm worried about a poss wet track too! R2/ I cannot dip int the 2yo race; will watch. R3/ I think Alpha Sky is a half bro to Kimbo…
  • These horses with blocked runs are going to fare better at Belmont?Or are they so evenly matched that if one sneezes he/she loses?
  • Just another thought about R7/.Cosmic Planet has run some slashing races first up before. The previous campaign before last, she beat Meteoroid in an amazing burst (the latter sure did bigger things after that). Last time she looked desperately unlu…
  • Here we go again.Last week I was in the poo until Kokapu. It's going to be something interesting as to how far he goes.What happened to the Snug horse? This week, again, I hope the fastest horse wins! R/1 I'm with you Skids. I keep thinking that the…
  • Fantastic preview Jum.I will  working for all the program and will miss  it; but catch up later on the replays.I hope the Brutus horse salutes in R/4; a good Fastnet Rock is just great to see.In R/5, Golgotha is surely having his last chance; how an…

  • Yeah, AD wasn't keen on the Sat am session with the boys; said he needed Belmont. Oh and I was looking at the pre Sat form on P and P and found a stewards comment re Hit Tune; says 'proved cantankerous in the parade ring' ; sounds like me!
  • The Pounamu Kokopu blood wins again; great horse training and I've never seen the jockey in better form.On that topic B. Kirby and T. Stone riding just so well too; don't need to say anything about W.P.
  • More thoughts have come while listening to the boys' preview. R/1 Scottie's tip Hoboken rang lots of bells for me. H has knocked off shorties before from leading. R/2 I have switched to Necklet; up front looks good here. R/3 What about a fitter Luck…
  • OK; here is the other Ascot review for 12/5/18; from one of th best mug punters. I won't say I am Number 1 as that would  boasting. I'm still recovering from last week; especially after the aptly named De-ball-atio failed; no wonder I knocked back …
  • Ok. You have the Number 1 best tipsters thoughts. Now you will have the best No 1 Mug Punter's thoughts! R1/ I still cannot understand how Broker did not beat Prize Catch last tie (even though I was on Prize Catch!) . So I have to go with Broker as…
  • TS was the jocky's nick name on Bam's on Fire Bam Bam? Or am I on the wrong track?
  • The day Enticing Star won at Pinjarra she ran her last sectional in 34.2; Red Noire won the last that day with a sectional of 34.3.
  • R/1 Sorry, i can't have Middle Earth because of it's sudden rise in class. Elegant Blast was dominant last time and J Warwick is quite happy to win 2 or 3 in a row. Taxagano is classy too and maybe the ride could surprise! I cannot decide between th…
  • Oops; you r right Jell; I meant the other 2200m lead up for the boys; the Melvista. The Boo Time 'failure' in the derby was just me talking through my pocket!
  • Just noticed in R1/ Colin Webster who never seems to have a first up winner, has Choko in. First barrier trial win equaled Valour Road time! Then 2nd trial was not as fast and not as impressive. Now the blinkers are going on (I can never work out hi…
  • The 6.0 on MM seemed v generous; I'd put that up if he wasn't going to stay the 2400m. From memory, the step up from 2200m to 2400m sees to have found out alot of the Natasha winners The exception is Boom Time, who after failing in the Derby went o…
  • Best wishes from me for Benny to have more opportunities ; IMO he is a v accomplished rider; maybe could be at P Hall level in the future! Anyway, riding or not, all the best to him.
