 Re: Flat : Talk Reaction Banter
I need a good cup of tea, every time Greenbank park ran last season it was tough to watch but seeing u fav horse Ghostzapper run it's agony. Win or lose in two weeks i'm proud of my horse. Not bred for the distance and the last furlong will be tough and will probably need some luck to win. Thanks for the congratulation's.
Salsabil 5th, perhaps needs further. Emperor Jones 4th, best run of the season but not a league horse gets to far behind.

 Re: Flat : Talk Reaction Banter
William Strider (7th) - Decent run in the Victoria Cup Sweet Luna (4th) - First good run, can win a lowly handicap Too Much William (2nd) - Thought he was going to win at one point but got swamped late on Mince Pie (8th) - Trip was too far, looks on a handy mark when returning to 6f Nice Pair (3rd) - Was given too much to do Cigarettes and Alcohol (12th) - Will improve over further Milth (3rd) - Good run off a big weight Stand and Stare (10th) - A poor run when trying to qualify for the AW finals
Good day for me with 4 making the money (Doesn't happen very often on the flat)
Thanks to the team for another smooth week

 Re: Flat : Talk Reaction Banter
Another solid week for me. Including a win where my horse won and was disqualified. The highlights... Race 12 / Take Notice - Stepped up to Group 2 level and won in nice fashion. Race 17 / Cat Herding - Fell back to a distant last in the Silver Bowl and made a beautiful late run on the far outside to miss the winners share by a nose finishing second. Great race to watch. Race 18 / Come On Now - After her first two terrible starts she has put back to back wins together. Surprising turnaround. Race 21 / Character Flaw - Finished a bang up 3rd in the Victoria Cup. Seems to love soft turf which has surprised me. Race 23 / Busting Loose - Finally woke up from his doldrums by winning against lower level types. THAT IS until the jockey (Tom Queally) made one of the most egregious fouls I've ever seen in SO5. The dope clearly had the win but decided he needed to shift in hard on the horse coming up the rail. I knew I lost it as soon as I saw that infraction. Race 32 / Scallion - Ran his heart out finishing 3rd in the Preakness but Ghost's beast was too much. I'll send him to the Belmont where he should be near the top again but probably still not good enough for the win. Handful of 4th's too this week made for a satisfying week. Congrats to all for another great week in racing!

I've got hundred bits of paper I've got to clear out. I was thinking about going back to the start and having a go with the owners mode, does it work. My new Two Year olds.

 Re: Flat : Talk Reaction Banter
finally an English classic win and nearly stole the derby as well
R1-Pot Black(2nd)stopped in his run gave the winner 7lb shade unlucky hope the h/capper is kind!
R5-Grainy(2nd)tapped for toe early stayed on without looking like getting to the winner
R6-Play for me(1st) up with the pace kicked on good run
R8-Fault line (6th)awful run awful ride gone in the window
R9 OAKS-Private figure(1st)bred for this one race and she delivered she will now be retired as she cannot run like that at any other track
R10 Derby-Desperado(2nd) he ran an incredible race thought he might hold on at one stage good time as well well done jt will also be retired in the window
congrats all runners well done all placers
