Brocklesby

Good spot OP.  Sounds like she'll know her job.  Are you taking the 5/2?

Amy Murphy just had an impressive 2yo in france . She'll know the score with her filly , Theatrically

No, I expected them to run more than 1 of the 5.

tbh i think the jolly (mystical elegance) is the most likely winner given the connections/pedigree but can i get involved or excited over odds as skinny as 2/1? not for me. the most interesting thing i can take from the race is david evans booking rossa ryan to ride roysdelight - might be worth a small play but will see what the price is on the day, but looks a shrewd jockey booking for a yard who likes a gamble. the betting market will be more interesting than the race itself imo

to be fair its a long season if you think 5 of your 2 yr olds need heavy ground,obviously the selected one been going gliding through the swamp at home like a HIPPO

Time must fly by for you, GH, think that was 2 years ago.

Last year's renewal wasn't great, maybe the ground took its toll on some of them, though a few did eventually win.

Interestingly, the two best horses to come out of last year's renewal finished 13th and 14th - Loaded Gun (OR 80) and Sankari (85 peak OR) - maybe the fact they didn't end having a slog in the ground did them a favour.

The fav will be ready to run for its life been been trained to the minute for this.

Their one last year, was also trained for the race I would guess, didn't win though. Its all just guess work imho

It looked last year that Stott made his ground up too soon in the conditions and paid the price for that late on, though that's easy to say in hindsight, and as people commented at the time, the horse didn't look straightforward, and time has probably shown they were right.

Nobody, including trainers, owners, jockey, God will have a clue on the winner of this race. Anyone doing anything other than watching it for the future is a plonker.

The answer to the Brocklesby puzzle, Bob, is blowing in the wind.

Two year olds thru the tatties and turnips early with nothing to go on….sit and watch….

Enlighten me Acey……mole ? Catching pigeons ? Big plunge ?

Bit easier for me as i only have to get in the frame for the Placepot.

Anyone having a bet in this needs urgent medical attention

Fook me the stars were Aligning

Will post the Selection at 2pm tomorrow

Was watching Aus racing this morning in the wee hours, a plethora of Gp1's ensued, including a $5m 2yo race, the Golden Slipper won in tenacious style by lady of camelot trained by the mercurious Gai Waterhouse/Adrian Bott partnership,her 8th Slipper and
her 160th gp1 or close to it, not bad for a Sheila.

a couple of things brought me to comment here, I was going to rubbish the Brocklesby a few days previous, had made a draft but thought it was harsh, was going to rubish low grade two year old racing in the UK in general and suggest they were best avoided, heads and noses, out wide, trapped on fence, get going too late ect ect and suggest punters look elsewhere for thar looosers, but what irks more is the general coverage of UK racing, it needs to improve, but it's the quality as well, it's living in the past, hopefully this flat season we can see a few stars emerge, we need emm.

Was very impressed with the Aus coverage, the product is miles better than uk, starting with the parade ring or mounting yard as they call it, Every horse looked at and from at least two angles,in this race the Slipper all horses were being double handled in the parade, there was this one big bloke hiding the horse on the inside, low and behold they switched to an overhead angle and from the side.
I say every horse. Something our own racing media cannot do, even at Chelt ladt week we were treated to a selection of  runners, quite whose selection is anyone's guess but they cannot and will not show every runner in the paddock for some reason.
It's getting worse and needs addressed.

Now that's me grumble out, what I did see in the Slipper was a very nice oss called Traffic Warden, put it in your note books, needs a bit further but looks a good un.

As for the Brocklesby, quite like the sound of Bob the bandit, 25pe/w.

sorry 'wouldn't take much money to talk'
