I predict that their Classic horses will be 'coming to themselves' earlier than they have been in recent years over the next few years.

Millions of pounds at stake, the biggest pressure job in racing....and you think he couldn't be @rsed before but will try a little harder now the boy's up?
What's the weather like in cloud-cuckoo-land, ybm? |

By:
Yes I think they havent made the effort to get them ready early for the Classics in recent years.

I really couldn't give a fook if AOB trains the next 15 Guineas winners, eric...the reason will NOT be because JOB's on and his old man is now 'trying'

By:
On that basis eric he cant get em ready for the derby and Oaks either
![]() Only 3 winners in total for the Oaks and two in the derby One less than the combined guineas winners![]() |

Big John and the boys will be absolutely furious when they realise AOB hasn't really be trying that hard for the last fifteen odd years, zil. Millions, absolute millions, have been poured down the drain while we wait for JOB to come of age......

All 4 early season Classics
Most recent 5 years: 1 win Previous 5 years: 6 wins Earliest 5 years: 4 wins The next 5 years starting today: ? Never underestimate nepotism I think there is a new incentive to improve the dismal record of the last 5 years compared to the decade before. |

By:
The figures above bear out the drop in emphasis on getting ready for the Guineas in particular or the fact APOB has got worse at his job. I think the former is the case and we will see his results in the early season Classics with the ridiculous amount of bloodstock he gets ramping up again now.

Deffo a trend Eric, nowt for the Leger as well
![]() Must be gettin em ready for the November Handicap ![]() |

Surprising that YBM/Kirk/Eric has time to post here on a Classic weekend given all the last-minute "covers" and "book tweaking" he has to do. Credit where credit's due.

Augustine needs to borrow the Headmaster's dunce hat. He hasnt read other threads he always was blinkered here.

I'm gutted. YBM/Kirk/Eric hasn't even gone to the trouble of "blocking" me. How insignificant can you be?

In your case, very.

The cynic in me wonders if this thread has been started for a well placed aftertime?
Time will tell on that score aswell. |

Maybe he's got money running on from Big Bucks and Boris Johnson??

...and so it begins.
Already in one dayAPOB has equalled his wins record of the last 5 years in the 4 Classics. Let's see if he can better his last 5 years record in the early Classics this one weekend with his son up. |

There we go in one weekend equals the last 5 years Classic wins, definitely getting them ready earlier. Well done Ballydoyle keep it up, Derby and Oaks next with the trainers son up.

Erics thread lasted all of 24 hrs before it lost credibility.
Unless, of course, Aidan is Ryan's father. ![]() |

Absolutely priceless

I thought JP O'Brien gave Homecoming Queen a marvellous ride from the front and sure am glad I moved all my stakes onto him at the very last minute.
Viva the O'Brien family! |

As stated above the emphasis is back on getting them ready for the Guineas, even APOB can have trouble which one then to put which jockey on. We have seen this before in the Classics. Hope you all followed this thread, backing the stables horses in the 2 races would have shown a massive profit including this 25/1 shot. Well done all those who took the hint.
|
|
By:
This thread only a couple of days old showing massive profit compared to the losing 1000 Guineas thread which lasted around a year and reaped big losses with lots of misinformed contributions from many experts including some of those on this thread. You can understand their embarassment at that, maybe better luck next year for them than this year and last (Blue Bunting a dramatic saver on race day apparently by one poster well done).
|
|
By:
Why didn't you back the winner Eric?
|
|
By:
Well done APOB and jockeys I'm sure everyone would agree.

By:
The U-U-U-Utah Saints quote is for APOB and team, just in case you thought it might be this thread it referred to, which you might easily have assumed. Now the Derby and Oaks which could be cakewalks now with Joey up.
|
|
By:
Yes they would.
But if you were convinced you were right how come you never backed the winner? |
|
By:
sintonian is blocked by me so dont know what he is posting but no doubt he is up to mischief again. He was one of the main contributors on the losing year long 1000 Guineas thread would imagine he isnt happy about this thread pinpointing the events of this weekend.

I know this wont sink in with your Eric, because you really are something else, but believe me, people can see this delusion a mile off.
Good luck copying everyone and then attacking them when YOU lose. Classy way about things. |
