I'll be picking by names from now on because I know except for King of Rome where the numbers happen to match I did not pick half the horses these #s correspond to and I see no way to check who I did pick. I am sure you are on top of it and I guess not knowing what I'm doing except looking at the limited info I have is occassionally working in my favour.

HHH, how on earth did you find Barbecue Eddie? Fair play to you, was it a hunch? He appeared to have massive amounts to find on the form book..........

Well done none the less.

She did have a set back a few weeks ago, Pat. Together with that and the drop in distance, yesterday was going to be much more difficult than it looked.

Wasn't it also strange that Soumillon rode the eventual winner, even though he's ridden just about every other De Kock winner?

She'll win next time if allowed to step out over 10 furlongs.
