ramrod Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 live on attheraces and racing uk tomorrow....................... looking forward to a night in with a carryout of food and drink and a great evenings racing, in between the wife watching the x factor. anybody any tips or fancies yet ? quite like the look of fatal bullet in the sprint,got a dodgy draw but does like to make all,so if it breaks well should go close............... europes best hopes look to be in the turf,but looks a really tough race to predict on paper............................ the classic looks to be between curlin and casino drive imo and the mile could go to goldikova,although a lot depends on how he acts on the predicted firm ground......................... best of luck to all punting and keep the stakes low..........:107years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T.F.Robertson Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I popped along to the local track yesterday and just before I left the hoose, the radio happened to play Rick Astley's "Together Forever". Anyway, the first race I was in there for was won by a horse called, "Forever Together" and a couple of races later the winner came in at about 13/1 and in his most recent race, had been beaten by that same horse. I'm listening to the station right now and awaiting it's "tips" for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco_Jambo Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Did that last night. Had a carry out watching the ladies day races. Not too successful although was just pipped on the o'brien runner heartshaped. Working tonight so will only see the last 3 races. Really quite fancy Eagle Mountain in the turf race. Westphallia and Curlin look quite decent shorties but will have to see how much I have left after this afternoon before I back them. Might do a double.

The Old Tolbooth Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I am having a big bit of Eagle Mountain at 11/2 in the turf at 11pm. Soldier of Fortune for me, I backed 4 Aiden O'Brien runners seeing as he's swept the boards in group 1's this season mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.A.N.S Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Soldier of Fortune for me, I backed 4 Aiden O'Brien runners seeing as he's swept the boards in group 1's this season mate. What I like about Soldier of Fortune is he's not had a hard season just like Eagle Mountain. Eagle Mountain has just had the one run so far and broke the mile record at Newmarket. That coming in it's first race since a year out with a pelvic injury is immense. However this is 1m 4f - so although speed is there is the stamina? He is sired by Rock of Gibraltar, very much a 8f horse. Whereas Soldier is sired by the mighty Galileo and has won over the distance before. Our two have faced one and other over this distance before and the Soldier smashed him by 9l - albeit on much softer ground. I just think going is too fast for Soldier mate.

Winning distances mean nothing in the past if a horse doesn't act on the going, I've seen horses overturn 20 or 30 lengths over the jumps just because the going suits better than last time out, it should be a good race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooperstar Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Noticed he is 4-5 wi the yanks and 7-4 over here! Did you notice that or did Mccririck (sp?) tell you that on ATR?! I've gone for Henry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I've backed Henry and Go Between in the last race, if either of them land the spoils I'm in front today, fingers crossed that Curlin doesn't go on the surface because if it was dirt he would win by the length of Princess Street!!

The Old Tolbooth Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Grrrrrr!! I had a long hard look at Ravens Pass and decided that Henry needed the step up to 10f ffs, didn't think Ravens Pass would outstay him and saw Go Between as the main danger, I hate the Breeders Cup lol!
