Scores after Day 1 - I mightnt be as quick to put up the results in subsequent weeks. It was a decent day for a few, notably dylbert who napped Gloria in the big race at generous odds of 12-1 and hit the only exacta when Lizards Desire beat King Of Rome. Still though, plenty more to play for and the fact that the exacta is included means that people can make big hits and come from near last to the top.
Today's winners and their odds (in decimal form) are as follows: Raihana 3.75 Lizards Desire 3.25 Drunken Sailor 6 Sir Gerry 26 Whispering Gallery 2.5 Gloria De Campeao 13 Leahurst 2.37 1. dylbert +690.5 2.

Wow that was fast!

Sabotage is also going to be included, I think. He has plenty of stamina and a real nice racing weight. I will apologise now if these ones run as if they have three legs. Will post my final selections shortly |
Hey Brock...
Because of time limitations (sans pp's :eek: ) I only want to make picks for one race tomorrow... is that alright? If not, I understand. If so... Race 3... Musir, Black Snowflake (alt. Mr. Crazy Boy) (Not copying Pat either:D ... I've kept track of the 2 De Kock runners on the South Africa thread.and Black Snowflake is an awefully nice horse ) :) |
Thursday 2-4
R1) #6 Sovereign Lady (#10)
R2) #3 Khor Dubai (#4) R3) #2 Crazy Boy :tro: (#1) R4) #7 Tartan Gigha (#3) R5) #6 Alo Pura (#11) R6) #9 Naval Officer (#2) R7) #4 Titurel (#2) R8) #4 King of Rome (#1) |
Thursday selections:
R1 - Sovereign Remedy (alt; Abbashiva), Al Arab (alt; Liberation) R2 - Mutheeb (alt; Gallagher), Stoic (alt; Across The Rhine) R3 - Musir (alt; Olympic Danz), Fareej (if he runs) (alt; Coeur Loyal) R4 - Tartan Gigha (NAP) (alt; Aspectus), Soy Libriano (alt; Walzertraum) R5 - Classic Blade (alt; Awinnersgame), Sir Gerry (alt; Mac Gille Eoin) R6 - Naval Officer (alt; Front House), Alexandros (alt; Crowded House) R7 - Sabotage (alt; Age Of Reason), Red Rock Canyon (alt; Montaff) R8 - Hot Six (alt; Captain Webb), Ask The Butler (alt; King Of Rome) A couple of races here have taken plenty of guess work. For instance, the sprint looks to me to be the hardest race on the card. I've chosen Classic Blade as my main big, basically on older form, which was very good. The prep run latest looked like some kind of revival, and the best form shown has been when allowed to run close to the pace. An outsider with a big chance in a very open race in my opinion. Disappointed with the predicted odds of Tartan Gigha, but he's my nap and quite honestly, I think he will win. Mutheeb is my second best bet on the card, he probably needed his first start for a while last week behind the very impressive (group horse in the making) Leahurst. He showed good form back in the UK and should go very close. Everybody has been raving about Naval Officer in recent weeks, and if he doesn't win, there will be many sad faces in the Barton camp. Hot Six is the most interesting horses tomorrow, a regular in Gr1 races recently, those Gr1's that he won probably aren't anything to shout about, but he's shown he useful and with Bary looking to have his string in good form he's of obvious interest in a trappy looking final race, along with Ask The Butler who seems to enjoy running from a layoff and is a battle hardened handicapper at this distance and should give a good account. |
Remember lads, 2 carnival days this week - tomorrow and Friday!
MMSC, one selection is ok. |
Question: Why do some people pick two alternates? If you only pick one is it understood it takes the place of either of your two picks if they do not run?

I usually split them up into horses I would have a bigger bet on and horses I'd limit to smaller stakes. If my big bet horse doesn't run, I often don't have much of an opinion on the race and therefore include a bigger priced runner as my main selection alternate, trying to maximise profit in a race I have no longer got a big interest in. Yes, I spend far too much time studying for this (last week showed it doesn't help), but I want to keep hold of my crown! :D |
