Mishriff .. David Egan/John Gosden has just won £7.25 Million .. first in the Saudi Cup, the world's richest horse race !
Gosden is an absolute master. To see off the big 2 American challengers on their own surface is outstanding. Perfect ride by David Egan. Probably earned more in that 90 seconds than he has in his entire career!
Mate of mine doesn’t trust himself to have an online betting account so I’ve been putting a few on for him whilst the bookies are not open. he had a good day today with 5 out of his 6 picks winning.
RIP The Conditional. Added to the losses of L'Ami Serge and Severano yesterday, it's been a brutal weekend. In bits for David Bridgwater to be honest; he's lost a true star there.
As peanuts would put it,I’m very hopeful of more drinks today with Lily The Pink Exeter 3.45 Also a word on Windswept Girl in the 1.00 at Exeter today as I know the connections.A lot was expected this season but just cannot jump in a race and a very disappointing season so far,everything tried at home and if jumping ok a win would be expected but it’s a BIG IF.

Best of luck Killer. Course winner - got to have a tickle.
Not a tip but a horse I have been following and that is Poetic Force in the Wolverhampton 6.30.
The gelding is 4 from 7 at Wolverhampton and back down to a decent mark. Would be happier if this wasn't a Class 3 and if PF was stepped back up even further in trip but I am convinced that this is an accident waiting to happen! So, at 12/1 (was 16/1) happy to have an interest today. On the nose too because EW isn't really an option given that it is 7 runners so first two only.
It's entered in the Wolverhampton 8.15 on Saturday - a Class 4 race over a slightly further trip. Just raiding the piggy bank to see what I can get together!
Not been declared for Saturday. Not totally surprised, especially if the next run is to be a typical Tony Carroll plot, because Poetic Force's recent wins have been following an absence of three or four weeks
Entered in Lingfield 11.45 tomorrow:
Class 4 - tick !m 2f - tick Price: 11/1 - tick Will to win? - hopefully a tick!!!
Another of my horses Le Coeur Net runs today,Hereford 3.20.He is a rock solid gives it all horse which is all you can ask for,trouble is with that is his mark keeps creeping up and takes even longer to drop.Anthony thinks he is at best a solid 120 rated horse so a lot on today but who knows. Zee Man declared at Ayr tomorrow and if he wins he qualifies for the Final and a placed run should achieve that too
Zee Man Ayr 1.55 today Thoughts I’ve received from Olly are that the galloping track and extra two furlongs will help and we will find out if the step up in class is too much for him. My view is it certainly looks a poor and winnable race but I won’t be backing him at that price.

I've long been of the opinion, and have written on here previously, that the 'sport' will dig its own grave.
Horseracing has another nail in its coffin.
