Henry Longfellow (3.30 Longchamp)

Only worry is that O`Brien`s horses either win or just get beat or finished tailed off. If it starts backing off then Moore will ease up and coast home.

Picture anyone? No picture for some reason for me.

You need to go to sportsbook 123 and place a £1 bet to watch the French races. Not available on Exchange.

Red tape nonsense.

Why can`t the French run their races on time? Pathetic.

Hasn't it been put back because of heavy rain?

I don`t know mate but they have a history of it.

Thanks for the update though.

Spot on penzance. Alex just gave an update on Sky. Thunderstorm so will be off soon.

11/8 Henry Longfellow to win - 7/1 bar

If you came from Mars and knew nothing about betting but expert on maths and arithmetic one would conclude -
"This must be a certain winner". But, unfortunately, Racing doesn`t work like that. Hope it wins though. Great name for a horse. That`s one thing about Ballydoyle - they give their million pound horses great names.

Brutal.....

Greatest jockey in the world

Nightmare ride by Ryan!

Never ever had a chance. Coasted home on the bridle. See more daylight down the Pit.

Awful run by the fav. He was never placed to challenge. Moore did nothing right in the race. A dismal ride by Moore!

Well done backers of winner!

Was struggling to get it out for the last 6f. Did he expect the French riders to let him out? Eejit.

And that`s how it`s hard to win betting. I`m out of here.

Will win the Irish Guineas mark my word but what good will that do us today.

AOB's A team have been running like treacle. Maybe there is a slimmer of hope for the best horse he's ever trained City Of Troy.

If that's a french jock it's a crap ride, but because it's Moore hey let's look for all the excuses possible. From a good draw it was a crap ride.

They can`t upset the gravy train. They are a bunch of sycophants them UK and IRL racing presenters. They never call out a bad ride unless it`s a foreign rider in a foreign country.

Even my granddad could have done better. It was awful by Moore. And, I'm not pocket-talking either just annoyed Moore did not do the horse justice.

I knew he was in deep trouble 6f out.

Mac you gall tay call me a bad tipster ffs.

Have the gall even.

I never meant you were a bad tipster overall Acey, normally your are very good.

It was just when you jinxed the horse by calling the result before the bloody off!

Mind you, nobody could blame Moore for a bad ride on that wooden horse, it was well stuffed lol

On mine today, he was absolutely useless. That would never have been out the frame given a decent ride. Might have even won.

Will win the Irish 2000 Guineas, mark my word.

Only havin a laugh mac.

'acey', does Moore deserve to be publicly chastised for his riding of Henry Longfellow at Longchamp earlier? I've not seen a worse ride for a long time. Ironically, the last one was by Moore too on Seventh Heaven (AOB) in the Fillies and Mares at Ascot.

I know acey, me too.

I never paid to much attention tbh imp.

Aidan trying to take the blame for Moore messing up. Why not just tell the truth for a change?

Also making a fool himself again by still hyping up City Of Troy. Given what happened in the Guineas why not just keep quiet? By continually saying how fantastic the horse is doesn't make him run any faster.

AOB is a genuinely kind and humble person. All these statements are merely to deflect criticism away from City Of Troy and Moore.

My Epsom bets on Diego Velazquez looked sunk as he's been promoted to fav for the French Derby. I backed him post AOB said he'd stay further than 12f; the French Derby is only 10.5f!

Believe what you see not what you hear

As the old saying goes Aidan:

"Don`t try and defend the indefensible"

6/1 best price for St James Palace with Unibet if possible you can get on.

Fill yer boots.

Not too sure about Henry Longfellow in the SJP. Notable Speech could be too tough a nut to crack. I'd be more confident for the Irish 2000G.

This thread Walofs, APO gave a nice interview from longchamp on Sunday, basically in all the big races, and trained to get them thar,, even raised his hand and done a dot dot dot sweeping motion, we hope he runs well today but will come on.
Absolutely spelt it out, ground was not the best either and hardly a track for one with bigger fish to fry, if anything might be back later in season Oct, perhaps it's a new plan, stable record in Arc very poor, it's an afterthought.

Anyway if you don't your cash on this fav, given stables current forum, well what can I say!

Whatever, it still stinks, periods!

Mr O`Briens pre race interview has nothing to do with the criticism of the Moore ride. Ryan was first to admit it and Aidan tried to take the blame on his instructions. Any eejit knows that it is a good horse and will improve for the run. Given an average ride it might have won and would definitely have been in the frame. Anybody that sticks up for that ride needs to chuck it.
