Radiohead got 3rd so got my money back and it keeps a couple of those trebles alive.
Ran a great race only gave himself too much to do after missing the break.

Some horse in fairness, i only did him win only though. If he had broke properly at all he’d have won. His start left him with too much to do.

[quote=“The Runt”]Right, I’ve backed

3:25 York - Radiohead
6:20 Kilarney - Marazza (I would advise TFK’ers to have a punt on this fella) e/w @ 6/1
6:35 Kilbeggan - RetrieveTheLegend e/w @ 6/1
6:50 Kilarney - Grand Opera @ 3/1

I’ve done a few sneaky mulitple bets involving some or all of above as well. I expect to be drinking champagne by 7pm this evening [/quote]

Grand Opera wins @ 4’s to rescue things, still down a few quid though.
Well done DB.

I backed Radiohead at Yorke today aswell, a decent juvenile. Was told Jimmy Fortune would win the last but of course didn’t punt it.

Saw Mick Kinane wednesday night in The Lowther pub in York, the man couldn’t stand up.

Mick Kinane’s a legend.

Here SS** put that in the celeb spotting thread…

Not sure if it would get past The Link Walsh, he’s very down on the racing crowd these days, tisn’t random enough either I’d say, he was in York to ride at the races like.

Last 3 flat races in Cork abandoned

The_Dunph · August 23, 2009, 2:33pm

Some rain on the track alright, the horses were running in water.

Lazarus · August 23, 2009, 2:34pm

The fookin weather. I’d say you’d get long odds on Sea the Stars and Fame and Glory both making it to Leopordstown for the ch stakes

It’s a shame. Hard to see things dry out enough for STS. Straight to the Breeders Cup I’d say. Nothing to lose there, if he wins he’ll be in the stratosphere of stallion prospects. If he loses well I don’t think losing out there on away soil will dim his star very much. After all, the imperious Dancing Brave went out there and ran stink and was still welcomed by British breeders.

The_Puke · August 23, 2009, 3:37pm

Where is it on this year SS** and what kind of track is it?

SHANNONSIDER · August 23, 2009, 3:39pm

The wide open spaces of Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, Los Angeles. A fair track for the Europeans and less tight than is often the case in the US.

Mac · August 23, 2009, 7:27pm

Hope he does, booked my flights to LA last week

Sledgehammer · August 23, 2009, 8:45pm

Is the Breeders Cup not on at the same track every year?

SHANNONSIDER · August 23, 2009, 8:46pm

Mac · August 23, 2009, 8:56pm

Sledge, sledge, sledge - schoolboy error

Sledgehammer · August 23, 2009, 8:56pm

Smug cunts. So the answer is “no” then. It’s a very short word lads, in fairness
