Considering it was a Sunday, I did well on the domestic front and have learnt a lesson to boot - leave the French racing alone! (although I seem to do ok with Longchamp).
Neil Callan gave Jukebox Jury a superb ride yesterday to win the Kergorlay putting the rest of the field to sleep. Dettori won on Dabirsim in the Prix Morny (I cannot believe I didn’t pick his ride after Saturday’s Frankie fest!).
It was sad news that Doreen Rackham passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning after a long illness. There can’t possibly be much jumps action on the day of her funeral because the whole of Lambourn will be there to say goodbye.
There seems to be a spate of ‘poorly horse’ excuses for recent fav fails. Laughing Lashes, Frederick Engels, Fame And Glory, Await The Dawn, Mannheim. There is rumour of a virus at Ballydoyle......this would make sense of their poor recent run but then again so would the lack of a world class jockey riding any of their horses since Ryan Moore’s injury! As for all these coughs, colds and viruses, I find it hard to believe that a top stable would send a horse to a high-profile race without scoping them (running blood tests) first.....maybe there’s no point until they invent a test for seconditis (ouch!)
Today’s system selections are:
Hamilton
17:05 I’m Super Too (4.7) 1st
Kempton
15:45 Herminella (17) UP
16:45 Decana (7.4) UP
16:45 Tegan (3.95) 1st
17:15 Golden Tempest (14) 1st
An excellent Monday with profit of +17.65
