 Re: Week 6 Epsom Derby Preview & Verdict
nice work as always pj, bit surprised you have my Neon Nebula down as oppose, i havent been giving it my all in the league by any stretch this season but he is my best horse, got stuck in behind the pacemaker at a vital stage in the Irish Derby before showing a decent turn of foot and just weaking a bit at the finish, i had second in the Derby 2 seasons back with Ribot who was well beat in the trials, my horses love Epsom, I dont know why but its just perfect for them, he won the Derby in 2.24 in game and I will be dissapointed if he dosent run a huge race provided the draw is fair. I can see him running in the first 3 and cant wait for the race.

 Re: Week 6 Epsom Derby Preview & Verdict
Well done, Rich. Didn't see that coming! Rhino ran well on ground far from ideal and also was widest of all the whole race.

 Re: Week 6 Epsom Derby Preview & Verdict
Well done Rich, surprised Scatters n Thunderspark horses well beaten, was happy with mine only beaten about 1 1/2 might have got a bit closer with a better draw.
Looking forward to a level playing field in SO5

 Re: Week 6 Epsom Derby Preview & Verdict
To be fair....even I wouldn't have put Bale in the first 6. No idea where that came from. Was much more hopeful of Night Terror in the Oaks but yes, first Classic

 Re: Week 6 Epsom Derby Preview & Verdict
Congrats Rich.
I like to run all the UK races by using TAB button, for me personally it gives a more accurate race and results.
Never use Esc when doing trails in my CK or in any races, gives to many false results IMO. I know Dave Hooley does it this way for the NH races.

Faithful Son would have hacked up had he not been locked up on the rails for about two furlongs. Well done though Rich, great to see you land a big one!

Congrats Rich.
My horse Jinxed came close there. Was surging at the end but just couldn't get up to it.
