Won pretty easy....14-1.

Oh my God did he win cause am running in and out and came here first instead of tvg - missed it and oh I always play my HK boys so hooray!!! :) :$: :D

edit - Oh good boy! :$:

I know most of you don't read the HK thread or the were going to thread but he was named for Natural Blitz who won the HK Sprint in a huge upset and who broke down just past the wire in the Centenary Sprint Cup.

Anyway, thrilled for the connections.

The AmWest form was wrong on Dynamic Blitz, showed him finishing third on turf last time, when really, he was on the polytrack. For those who receive my newsletter, he was the longshot play of the day!

Hope you bet him :)

Only in pick threes and couldn't connect them...Warsaw? Really? Didn't like Star Empire either. Oh well..

Looks like a bit of a blood bath for almost everyone. Some of those results are hard the work out. Warsaw? He was probably the first horse I took out. Lord Of The Stars? How on earth has he managed to put in a career best effort from nowhere?

I also didn;t really fancy Star Empire today, nor Bold Silvano, who I thought would be there for a track gallop in a race which looked very likely not to suit. How wrong I was.

Our Giant and Here To Win..... what happened? I didn't see any racing. I thought they were both good things.

I'm impressed. I gave up on him a long time ago.

The pp's don't go back this far but I think it was the Norfolk Stakes where he did really badly and then a few after that (at the Curragh).

I just never expected much after that (although he did win a few).

Anyway good for you!

As far as the HK boys, I'll only say this once (yeah, right :D) Beauty Flash is going to the Duty Free.

Tony Cruz hasn't had the greatest luck with his runners over there (and I mean all three were ******* superb horses... Bullish Luck (the pre-DWC trips) , Russian Pearl and Floral Pegasus) BUT he doesn't send them over for no reason.

This is a really nice horse.

Here are his records / replays...

http://www.hkjc.com/english/racing/h...=K314&search=1

I like Our Giant but he never wins 2 in a row!

Hard to have had Lord Of The Stars - first horse in Meydan history to make all the running on the grass and stay.

I wasn't a big Bold Silvano fan for today (even though I picked him...doing so on class alone), but off this effort, I think he is the favorite in the Dubai World Cup as a result, until something changes.

Star Empire got away with murder sitting just off a longshot pacesetter who went to the 400 in 28 and 800 in 55 for 2400m+. The longshot almost stayed (Calvados Blues) and Star Empire sat the perfect trip.

Our Giant...he took advantage of a huge pace last time and didn't get it to the same degree today as Inxile wasn't too fast away and then cleared over but without pressure. He ran into a fast pace first up and didn't get near the same this time.

Dunlop has been talking like Snow Fairy will go.

Between her and Buena Vista I think the boys should be very afraid. :D

Me too, but again yesterday Moore had him within 5 or 6 lengths of the pace, when this horse runs his best 15 or 20 lengths behind the leaders. Hopefully Cecil is just getting this horse ready for a big run in the World Cup. I will be on him the rest of his races over there, as I believe he is going to be a real good price whenever he runs. The horse, in my opinion, has the talent to run with the best, but they have to put him in the right spot in the race, which is way off the pace.

He has talent because he doesn't get his clock cleaned against top competition and has been close in the past...

But he is 0-for-13 since his last win...if he stays in Dubai and improves, maybe he'll have a shot. As for now, they all have to prove better than Bold Silvano.

Hi lads,
scores will hopefully be up by tomorrow evening - been a bit hectic here. Apologies to all...

If anyone has any queries, let me know, as The Bart showed, it may bump you up the leaderboard :)

Hate to be a downer, but Linny had The Living Room second in that opening race exacta, not Montmorency who was second...might change things a bit.
