Calling IrisDeBalme

Yes I did - was gonna post him - but changed my mind... went for a Johnston horse in the big sprint instead - thought I posted Kimber too many times.. :) Damn... but Im in a dilemma to back him in the Stewards Cup... do prefer him more in this race before he won ... but don't think he had back to back wins in his career... so maybe has peaked a bit early...

Having said that he won enough in hand ... and maybe had the race to suit ... but cant ignore that performance - so cover at this stage @16s...

but was nice to see him go in!

Think we are prob the only guys that follow this horse :)

All this thread needs now is for kim jong un to produce a winning ticket.

Iris

Has to have a great chance in the Stewards. Trouble is Dandy's running another horse I've been following - Orions Bow !
May have to do both ?
Dandy used to be the man to follow in Sprint Handicaps at Glorious Goodwood. I think this year could a return to those days .


Good luck over the festival

Thanks Facts...

Franny Norton booked too - so seems positive - disappointing have two horses at the top of the market so short at 6s????? ... so probably gonna stick with Kimberella and GROWL with Ryan Moore booked... those are my two against the field...

Hope your having a good festival too.

Hitting the woodwork Iris !

Tuesday - Second Wave 4th
Wednesday - Rex Imperator 3rd ( 1/2l ,nose)
Thursday - Ode To Evening  2nd ( Head)



On at 14/1 Kimberella.
Top two in betting are also very strong, will decide on the day wether to back one of them too.

Decided Owens Bow could be anything ! Keeps on winning and could still be improving( 7/1 BOG).
So, Dandy's race to lose imo.

* Orion's Bow !

Good Luck Facts !

My final 3 are

TOOFI 12/1
GROWL 14.1
KIMBERELLA 14/1

Think its a very open race ..

Same to you Iris
Backed Growl last time out and thought he was unlucky. So it was hard to reject him !!

Woodwork again !
Unlucky with Growl, Iris. A better draw could have seen him winning !
Ayr Gold Cup ?

yeah unlucky ... interesting week at Goodwood... don't think I have seen that many gambled on fav in 20+ handicaps come in like this... fav looked good long way out... but yeah draw was decisive...

Watching the last two runs of Growl suggests he needs a bit of luck but draw definately didn't help ... wont desert him yet... what interested me was why all the money for Ridge Ranger... ?

with Dancing Star... Orion's Bow, Growl the 6f handicap division looks really competitive this year - Ayr Gold Cup will be very interesting...

Oh Kimberella was asking to much to string a back to back win! :)
