Barton might look a bit silly today, I think he stayed away from doing interviews!
Still can't understand all of the money for the De Kock filly today, she is good but he has said for several days about her set back she faced in Dubai and would prefer running over further. She was actually my lay today, as was Secrecy, who at evens was an awful price for a horse who was coming off the back of an average handicap win - insane! Presvis at 2/7, as well........ there are some crazy, crazy people around the world betting on that sort of tosh!

Very very surprised where my girl finished. Haven't watched the replay yet.... it's not the end of the world but not at all what I expected.
On the flip side and even though my picks absolutely sucked I'm am f*****g thrilled to see that Yasoodd (hasn't won since 2006 but so what?  ) and Mister Fasliyev (won 2 in a row in 2007 and that was that) both hit the board!Both were at 33/1... something like that. Makes me laugh just thinking about it. Good for them! Old guys rule.

Very disappointed with Bridge Of Gold today, there must have been something amiss? His trainer has never been quiet about this horse an has said from day one he's the best he's got.
Perhaps flying closer to the race worked against him, but they thought that was the best plan. Whatever the reason, forget that run because he is seriously good.

The Tapeta appears to be riding much differently today. Horses on the pace have really struggled so far, with all of the winners, apart from Mendip coming from mid division or further back. This suggests that we should give a lot of credit to Mendip for his opening race success, where Uncle Tom came from the clouds to take second close home.
I wonder if they have prepared the track slightly differently than to previous weeks or whether they have now decided to quicken the track up? What ever the reason, it's certainly changed from the opening few days, when being on the pace (fast or slow) was an advantage. They haven't gone overly quick in either of the last two races today, but the horses who were dictating have finished a long way off them at the wire.

Massive surprise in the Guineas - couldn't have found that winner if I'd been looking at the card for a week!!!
Once again the horses came from the back to take the placings

Well........... I couldn't have been much more wrong about Musir - what a performance. The mile for the first time, drawn widest of all in stall 14 and he's won EASY!
He can't have been fit at all the other week judging by that performance. SOME horse! Very disappointed with Quartier Latin, after such good words coming from Doug Watson's mouth. I'm kicking myself for not including Sirocco Breeze today. He was 9lbs better off with Mutheeb when not at his best behind Leahurst a few weeks ago, and it was there for all to see, but I decided to forget facts and go with how impressive Mutheeb was last time. I deserve a good kicking.
