Ombudsman 5/6

Correct however he was off a longer layoff and has obviously progressed as a horse.

He has finally learnt to get the excuses in before the race.

Maybe Gosden is being honest unlike AOB is ever?

Lump on Sonof but not for me and if you do good luck.

Why I’d avoid :

Gethin has had his form franked easily by Best Secret in France this year, when he slammed West Wind Blows.

Burrows horse also stays the mile and a half, will like the stiff finish at Sandown.

Will Ombudsman? He wasn’t only beaten in this last year but was also in the Eclipse. Horses for courses?

Is he more speed than stamina having won over 1m 1f in Dubai?

Comments from the Chamion Stakes
“Raced in last, raced wide home turn, soon headway on near side of group, went second over 1f out, no extra final 110yds”

Almaquam was only 1 3/4 behind in that race, Gethin had beaten Saddad 3 1/2  who was only 2 1/4 behind Alm at the weekend and given lots to do.

Listen to no one,best way imv.

I listen for the lies Ace, any take up on your offer for a bet with Ringo?

I take Rico with a large pinch Del…..

Aceform is a proven bet editing liar who cannot post his mythical bets.

Can't have Ombudsman here. Ain't sitting right with me.

Firming up now. Judge.

Anywhere near fit Ombudsman should be too good for these.

The 2ND in the Mkt,Gethin,the race he won @ Kempton (Magnolia Stks),every
horse to run after that has been well beat mostly.Both the 2ND & 3RD ran
in the same race @ Sandown on their next start,were 4TH & 5TH,hammered.

Pen they weren’t exactly short next time, one was 7/2 came the second, next 9/1 the others any price you like. Think he’s better judged on the runs that mentioned.

Ombudsman is no doubt a class horse, but Gosden doesn’t cry if they get beat prepping for a G1.

This run is to tell them if they can compete at 10f or need to step up in trip. The owner already has Best Secret who’s earmarked for the Hardwick over that distance so you can see why they are trying.

Burrows will also have a line through Ammnat.

If Ombudsman does need the run or simply underperforms then imo the value this evening is Wimbledon Hawkeye at 40 on here.
Thrown a few quid on and put up an in-running lay at 10.

GL All.

Gethin should win this imv.

A racecourse gallop for nothing or £54k to the winner. Even the multimillionaire Mr Gosden will not baulk at that amount.

U cannot back against,but was swishing his tail in parade ring

How can a professional pundit describe this race as fascinating?

Never in doubt. Had an extra half gear minimum to give.

Gethin was far too keen early, did well to finish off and I think you all thought Ombudsman put more distance on him.

Persad is brutal as a pundit,on par with Harvey…

*would

The non punting loon knows all

Well the pacemaker went slow to turn it into a speed test didn’t he

Easy game.

Is that all there is here odds on backers?

Don't think so m8,lots of knowledgeable people here.

It seems they keep that to themselves, celebrating an odds on wining likes it’s an achievement?

Winning is what matters to those who actually bet,Delbert,unlike your self

One of the highest rated horses in the world wins, new flash!

Maybe we should have an odds on thread? So some of the 1.0 backers can own up to backing?

Quite a few been sunk in Ireland recently but no ones holding their hand up then.

I pointed out earlier that I would not be a  backer first time out and I wasn't

Aventure was 2/1 freely available last weekend whilst the Graffard horse was odds on, that was value because there was a false favourite and she was the wrong price.

Will you be backing next time at Ascot? For the Eclipse?

His penalty is severe enough to give it a swerve at odds on. Can see him coming 2nd.

slickster 28 May 26 13:47 
Can't have Ombudsman here. Ain't sitting right with me.

pmsl at the pretendee lePRICKhorn

Delbert,I do not discuss races with Lorry Drivers or your good self.
I will,as always, make a decision on the day.
Each to their own

What was your opinion prior to the race frico of nature?

top class horse.. had 4 - 14lbs in hand of the field..cudnt see much reason to oppose itif all was well..but wasnt playing so no interest.

And there you have it despite all that didn’t play.

  * confidence wasn’t high despite all of the positives mentioned!

Nice post race opinion analysis Ringo

Is that all there is here odds on backers?

Del, don't knock odds-on backers, some are value. It's being selective and knowing which odds-on to back.

My 5 largest 5 bets ever were all odds-on and on the same horse back in time, never a moments doubt.

I didn't back Omsbudsman.

I’m not knocking them Andrew just amazed at the op saying that it’s an easy game.

True Love and Minnie Hauk shows that it isn’t.

As said last night I’m sure all backers thought that he’d put more distance between the two. Backers didn’t mention that Gethin raced far too keenly early.
He’s proved he’s a good horse.

Backers didn’t mention that Gethin raced far too keenly early. walofs

winner won being nudged along.

Whatever you say, pull hard early, normally not in the finish.

try specsavers ydc.

Try reading the race comments NO mention of , “Comfortably…”

Betting pre-race isn't easy whatever the odds

A good run from Ombudsman yesterday.
Will be looking to play him at Ascot if the price is right.

Imagine putting up a 5/6 shot that goes off 2/5 and wins and still getting begrudgers. Sad state of affairs

Well done winners .

No sad state of affairs or begrudging but it wasn’t exactly mastermind material!

Don’t think you’ll get much bigger than the 5/2 for Ascot now when the race cuts up.

Lump on Sonof but not for me and if you do good luck.

Not for me refers to odds on shots, hopefully that’s all clear.

Oh and as for specs horse needed 3 cracks during what Ringo called,

“ winner won being nudged along.”

Now there’s an appointment to be made for someone, but not I!

What makes tipping up a 5/6 shot that goes off at 2/5 or a 5/1 shot that goes off 5/2? Do you understand the basic principles of probability, closing line value etc?

Difference*

Do you understand good luck?

Sunly was favourite with the books, 2/1 was freely available for Aventure.

Sunly was 10/11 here madness but books can take the Graffard liberty

- - - - -

With Aventure winning  @ 11/10  I think I understand odds etc and horses being priced up incorrectly as fav.

I enjoyed the race last night, look forwards to the POW as it looks a decent race and it’s always one of my favs.

I am sure Bertie Basset was being ironic when he said,"easy game".Naturally, the Autistic Delbert failed to see that

I think he think he landed a massive touch actually and wanted thanking!

Now who’s the munt irons?

Because Ringo showed he failed to see 3 cracks of the whip on the good thing for the day!

Gonna come to his rescue on any other thread?!

Autistic  people always believe they are right,Delbert.
He backed a winner,simple as that.
Who knows,one day you might eventually have a bet on BF

Enjoy your winnings ASonOf I like people winning and unlike some who mock when people lose.

One day you might give an opinion on a race!

Not to a cretin like you,Delbert.
I Back or Lay to make money and not to try to prove anything to others on here

You’re trying to prove to yourself that you have self worth with your every post!

Absolutely no need to "try",Autistic one

There you go again with your assumption of superiority!

When really you’re just another Favourite backer!

3 cracks of the whip? couple of little flicks,it won comfortable without being hard ridden is what i see.

Spewgo was its hands and heels just nugged out? À la Daryz style? NO.

Was Buick low in the saddle? YES!

Pretty low there from that angle too!

Autistic cretins must always be right
The horse won tidily,dipstick

This individual wouldn’t show you a birds nest Del…..manner of the Forrest Hog tbh.

Compare that head looking forwards, that’s an easy win!

I know Ace and I’m left wondering why the books left unchanged at 5/2 for Ascot with such an easy win?

hands and heels last fur..won cosy.

One gets done then the other pops up! Funny that!

Perhaps the bet editing,Fantasy Island punter can stick to his own pitiful bullshatting thread which I have abandoned

It’s like that game that kids play where you smash the thing with a hammer everytime it pops its head up!

These two are the same!

Tan topping time now

Not needed in your case,Delbert

I was there last night and played Gethin for small....The winner was always doing enough and I doubt was flat to the boards.

Correct,Horatio.
Delbert would struggle to read the Beano let alone a race

dellanobber will crush ewe for that comment nellie.

All about opinions lads....none of us are always right

i am.

The old "never change your mind" rule cost me a little yesterday, but managed to get out in the last fortunately

I did the card on Tuesday and came up with

1710 OLD IS GOLD NR

1742 WHERE LOVE LIVES 1st

1812 SWEET WILLIAM 2nd

1842 1 or 7 1st and forecast

1912 OMBUDSMAN 1st

I wouldn't be afraid of another crack at Ombudsman' - Owen Burrows eyeing Coral-Eclipse rematch for Gethin after thrilling Brigadier Gerard


Gethin was beaten by a neck at Sandown on Thursday evening

Says it all.

Maybe Gosden has Da Man a bit more straight so he did win this knowing the task at Ascot?

Let’s not forget that Damysus was set to go for the Dis’Phan until Daryz was directed there!

A million opinions and he doesn't bet

I bet but you don’t seem to get it I do multiples

You are using BF to promote your views yet probably do not even have a funded A/C

I’m not into self promotion, it’s discussion about racing. I also do singles but don’t see why I have to prove anything to anyone.

You said last night that you bet to make money, I approach horse racing differently.

Very obviously
You are the equivalent of a customer taking up a seat in a pub and not buying a drink.
You would not last long

It’s called having standards I don’t bet on crud, I wait. I can wait because I’m not hard up.

In a pub I’d put my hand in my pocket and buy a pint for the company that I’m with, you’d probably make that cheaper and scare or bore them all away!

Are you related to Hulk

Would you pair get a room ffs

padded

Not sure why there is resentment to Wooton for his winner.

For me backing horses is about value.

He thought he was a 1/2 shot but backed him at 5/6.

That is a big play, and he obliged.

Most agreed with that aspect,brandy.
Unfortunately,Delbert didn't

ASonOfWottonBassett • May 27, 2026 2:25 PM BST
Still comfortably clear accounting for the pen. Don't get but game of opinions etc

Pardon for giving alternative views.

Delashay • May 28, 2026 9:11 AM BST
Lump on Sonof but not for me and if you do good luck.

By the way I can’t see many congratulating him on his win?

Feel free the C&P the scores that came on after and said cheers mate!

He's fav now for The Eclipse at Sandown next month with Con River probably doing a runner, according to AOB. Let's hope Con River goes for the Juddmonte at York. The Irish Champion is in Sept is a long way away since the French Derby.

According to AOB
