All of the winners were odds on though :p

I was talking to the jockey who rode Trees Of Green the other night, lets just say he wasn't too nice about the horse!!


EDIT: sorry, one of the winners was 11/8, but even so. Should have won. :p


I hope Kirklees wins tomorrow, he really should

NoChanceToDance 09-18-2007 09:29 AM

MMSC, just to let you know that Gold Sovereign who won on his debut today is, and i quote "pretty useful". He has been working will with Desert Authority and could make into quite a nice three year old.

By the way, Desert Authority is on his way back and should be back on the track soonish. I really like him.

Yeah I was just checking on the blue boys... thanks for the heads up regarding Gold Sovereign.

Look.....

I wonder which of the boys they will run. I doubt they will run more than two of them.

If Desert Authority is fit enough, he will take his chance. As i say, he's been working really well again.

Flashy Wings would be a danger to any horse though if she was back to somewhere near her best.

Just for fun, my guess would be they run OO or Gravitas. (Or both).

They have bigger plans for Into the Dark and Perfectperformance and Myth Kid, well... I think they'll wait to run him.

Into The Dark.....hmmmm, well he kinda has his own ideas and will probably tell them when he wants to race. Problem is, he doesn't let them know until half way through a race. :D and don't forget..... Desert Authority has beaten him :)

The trip (9furlongs) would be on the short side for Perfectperformance.

Mythical Kid has had an injury and has been very disappointing since going to Godolphin (i will say nothing, don't worry). Same can be said for Olympian Oddessy.

The fact that Desert Authority only has one entry could mean that he is running here for sure. I will try and find out tomorrow. All i was told today is that he's be running "soon"

Didn't realize that about DA beating him and yeah okay, good point about only one entry.

Tell me about into the Dark sometime.... I didn't follow him much but i like him.

Myth Kid... point taken.

Where's Eastern Boy??? I miss him.

If you hear any word on Caradak please let me know as I've moved on to Echo in my emails to Mr. Iffraaj.:D

Eastern Anthem will be waiting for soft ground, and given our very dry Autumn so far, we might not see him until next year. That isn't something i've heard but i know he needs soft ground, and they are probably just waiting for rain.

Into The Dark...... well, somedays he can run REALLY fast....... TOO fast and then gets tired before half way :D Other days, he can just be very lazy and not want to do anything. So it's the days when he is inbetween those moods that he does well :D

I imagine Caradak will be having a break now, but i don't know for sure.

They were talking about the QEII for Caradak..... you think that's still an option or do they send Echo or Blue boy instead?

my miss storm cat 09-19-2007 12:53 AM

I'm hearing some really positive things about Bold Glance who runs on Thursday.

C'mon, Make Aussie Rules proud. :)

NoChanceToDance 09-19-2007 04:12 AM

The QEII is usually a very good race, i wouldn't like to say who they will send there, but they seem to like having a runner in the race.

I hope Echo would run there really.

Bold Glance, i've heard of him. I think i might have even put him in one of my seven star stables. I will ask, if i can.

NoChanceToDance 09-19-2007 11:48 AM

Well, i don't think much is expected of Bold Glance tomorrow. He runs in a very weak maiden at Pontefract and Frankie deserts him to ride another Godolphin horse, who himself doesn't look very good (but probably good enough to win this weak race).

Interesting. If they thought he was any good at all, Frankie would be up.

my miss storm cat 09-19-2007 01:33 PM

Astromonia will be retired after this race.

Bringing her back fast... hope she goes out a winner.:)

Wonder if they're still gonna send CM to the Vosburgh with Discreet Kitty. That was the plan.....

If they send Ramonti there where does it leave Caradak... the BC?

They have probably forgotten about Caradak.

He wouldn't be good enough for the BC, anyway.

brockguy 09-20-2007 06:46 AM

as good as Ramonti has been, I cant see him being quick enough for the Mile so Cadarak wouldnt cut much ice, but then again I dont even know if Ramonti is BC nominated..they might have to rely on DCat for some BC silverware.

Remember the good old days when Godolphin had the likes of Fantastic Light and Sakhee to go to war with?

Back in the days when they knew how to train a smaller number of horses and Crisford kept his nose out, you mean :D

I know that's what you were hinting at, Brock :D

brockguy 09-20-2007 07:15 AM

well to be honest, they still have a horse in Discreet Cat who could turn out better than both. I think they've done a tremendous job with him as they were very good not to rush him into the Derby Trail and he showed what he could do last year with some magnificent races. He looks like quite a fragile horse and not many other organisations would have given him the time required to fulfill his potential and he would have retired / been injured prematurely. Sure things havent gone spot on this year, but there is certainly plenty of racing left for him and I hope he improves on last years figures and shows what a superstar he is.

Ill try not to comment on the other stuff as its been discussed quite a bit here already..
