White Birch is in the HIT sales, would be something of a boost to his price if somehow were to win.

Believe he ay have adopted an approach using, Ground Conditions, Draw and Jockey.
White Birch doesn't mind it very soft, Los Angeles ran well last year having been able to pull over from a wide draw to make it on the inner (will need similar tactics this time). Quissana has a jockey that knows the course and is drawn relatively well. Draws 1- 7 holds a sizeable advantage for me. Minnie Hauk drawn 1 could get a good tow from its stablemate, if said stablemate bags the rail from a wide draw. Sosie is drawn 3 Kalpana drawn 10 bit of a handicap, but she could nick a place. My 3 against Blakey. |

Aventure drawn 12 and sits off the pace-could be its undoing Soz Formy  |

Does Kevin adjust the stride patterns on soft
Ground?? Or are they the same on quick ground ?? |
|
By:
Looks like the usual throwing three darts tactic. Working on the basis that if he picks a fancied runner nobody will big it up, and on the other hand, these three will quickly be forgotten. White Birch isn't as good as he was, and no form at the trip. Los Angeles looks to be going backwards and hardly ever wins. Quisisana on all known evidence isn't good enough.

Interesting he doesn’t like the O’Brian filly at all??
DD, thé main reason WB hasn’t run over further, Is They thought he’d make a stallion, think he will get The trip ?? |

Similar to economics, he’s crying out for mile and half

stewarts rise 05 Oct 25 12:13
White Birch is in the HIT sales, would be something of a boost to his price if somehow were to win. Here's my prediction, stewarts. The Horsewatchers will buy him for 40,000gns, have him gelded then send him to Rebecca Menzies for a hurdling campaign  |

Will be very very lucky to get one placed ......And if White Birch makes the frame i will show my arse in Tescos and leave The Forum never to return.

Forget my last statement about White Birch i did not know young Joseph now Trains him i thought it was that other Clown Murphy.
|
|
By:
'acey', Joseph Murphy, not Joseph O'Brien. He's a good and hungry jockey, not Keane the over-rated Juddmonte acquisition.
|
|
By:
I think Blake is trying his luck again after his extremely lucky and fortunate tc last year, one he did not have a penny on.

Thanks Imp i messed up it is Murphy.....Original statement stands.....Got nay fakin chance.

The Botti horse will do me for small money

The horse is receiving the same treatment from his trainer as Constitution Hill from Hendo. It beggars belief what he's doing here. I think he's never run over this trip. Maybe nothing to lose given his intended sale.

Only ran 3rd in the Derby but that's not 1 1/2 m surely

I've been looking forward to seeing Hotazhell upped to 12f and on softer ground. 100-1 - not possible to resist.

Acey new.

Leif had an idea too.
1st four home drawn, 2,1,3 & 5 |

On Kalpana as well but I never leave an Aga Khan horse out. Best race horse breeder of my lifetime. Calandagan was thought to be their best but Daryz did the job. Two 3yos clear of Sosie in third.

I hope not too many were taken in. Blake wouldn't be bothered if they had filled the last three places.
|
|
By:
Blake is ok. I do not begrudge him looking after his own interest 1st. He's now the travelling head lad and spokesperson for Joseph overseas.
|
|
By:
Are you saying that because he has a finger in a million pies it excuses him filling a column with three rubbish darts? Not sure how that makes him ok?
|
|
By:
I think he is giving up the column.
|
|
By:
I think he's too busy these days. He'd also alluded to in the past his honest and frank views about participants in horseracing eg jockeys did not go down well with some. Also, the forum could be controversial.

A Tri cast in the Arc
 |
|
By:
Which jocks did he criticise? I have never heard him call out any on ITV.
|
|
By:
Neither have I. I would doubt he ever would.
|
|
By:
He and Cunningham used to post here whenever they could. Both were frank and informative, a rare commodity from individuals in the profession. They'd also alluded to a rather "cool" response from jockeys to requests for interviews post a critical assessment of their riding.
|
|
By:
If he is giving up the column it hasn't stopped him writing a second one on the Arc. Strangely, no mention of his three darts.
|
|
By:
Who really cares? Haven’t read a tipster for I don’t know how long because they have very little of value ever to say, as far as I’m concerned. If they want to keep shoving money his way for copy he’s entitled to take it.

It's the age old problem, if people have umpteen jobs, it makes it that much more difficult for anyone to get a foot in the door.
Many years ago I did a short placement at the Express & Star. Rather than use a local journalist, they were employing someone based in Yorkshire who probably wouldn't have come near Wolverhampton. |

did he actually do the Derby tricast?

I very rarely cash out, but I will be cashing out my profit on Daryz. Said all along going to York is bonkers. They have made the Juddmonte his Arc without a step in between. I don't expect him to get close, and I will be surprised if he even runs in the Arc. Great shame that they have gelded Yellow Jersey. I think he is very good. He may have beaten rubbish on debut, but at the time I thought he quickened like a very good horse. Upped in class he has now won two more races with a great deal of ease. Today he won despite the ride. He wasn't well away as the commentator suggested. Redvers was talking about him as a stayer, but he has far too much pace for that route. I think he is more exciting than Daryz. |

This is what Graffard said after the York LAST Delashay • August 20, 2025 4:19 PM Add that to what Graffards had said about his: Graffard said: "I thought he would be our best three-year-old. Mentally he was quite backwards and we've had to bring him along step by step, but we don’t have much choice but to try him in the deep end. "Good ground will be an advantage for him, but it’s a high-quality field full of horses with more experience than him and I hope there will be plenty of pace on. "I feel we need to teach him something. He needs to learn what is ahead and going to York, the journey and a strong field will do him a lot of good. "I think sometimes you need to be prepared to lose to win in the long run." DD are you s annoyed now at another non tryer like Caulificar was at Deauville? Or see it as a great training performance?  You’ve all witnessed a plot and a half! |
