dawn approach price is too short 5/4. very impressive upto now over 6/7/8 f races, the horse has cleaned up. recent years the guineas / derby double is
happening so often. the horse I think that might be able to beat DA is libertarian, just won the dante (derby trial) has the same sire new approach and
from the first crop of that sire. at around 20/1 or more on betfair, this is a lively outsider and should run a big race, will vastly improve over the longer
trip, the way the horse travelled through the dante and finished that race, no doubt libertarian will be challenging in the last 2 furlongs of the derby
and may well get its nose in front and reward followers at a good price. goodluck all

A few good points there r/runner , for me , i think this fellow will struggle around Epsom ...He's quite big , plus he was off the bridle from the get go at York ....No matter how he is drawn at Epsom i believe he will struggle to hold his position , by the time he has caught up after a few furlongs he will be to far back to have any impact ...I agree the trip will suit , but the race will be over before this lad gets into it....

guineas derby double is not happening so often.
sea the stars was the first in 20 years and last year was camelot. nashwan in 89 was the first since nijinsky in 1970 i think so thats just 4 in over 40 years. its a unique challenge alright. the one i like is magician but theres a good chance he might go to france. showed an impressive turn of foot in chester. |

Shirley heights and benny the dip both beaten at sandown before winning the dante en-route to success at Epsom.
ive been told libertarian's running style is reminiscent of Shirley heights, related through darshaan. only 4 firms going 20/1 and stan lames 12/1 now. goodluck all |

few days left now, will the gamble and money come for libertarian on the day?
 |
|
By:
what about the ground for new approach? will he stay?
He'll either win or not be placed? what do you think? |
|
By:
I think he'll win and win well... and everyone will be saying "how did we let go off at that price? " I think Jim Bolger knows he'll get the trip. I'm on!

By:
im not so sure, maybe he will win and best of louck to him, but there is some improvers with a great chance.

libertarian is defo overpriced.........he drifted across the course at sandown but still ran on at the end from an impossible position. i fancy him.if he was trained by a bigger trainer he would be 8/1 max.

Mitch, but there should've been at least two more?, both El Gran Senor and Dancing Brave were almost certainly the best horse but maybe we can blame the jockeys in this instance?.

anybody on festive cheer , best backed of the o brien horses !!!

By:
I agree there silver pilot error in both instances.......lots on here still say DA will not stay, but does anyone really know until he tries the mile and a half ? Have we ever seen sprinting bred types winnining chases ? its all in the horses make-up, and Da has a great attitude, plus connections have always stated that he is an 'uncomplicated' horse and surely this will help him get the distance.. DA for me with BOM place only at 11/8..........

When you look back on the guineas jay, Dawn Approach seemed to be actually getting faster the further he was going, when O'Brien runs 5 its usually a strong hint he is not overly confident about any of his charges?, the German horse is interesting as is the French one, not overly impressive thus far, but Fabre doesnt usually send them to Epsom unless he thinks the horse has all the right credentials.
Dawn Approach to pounce late and fast and win going away?. |
|
By:
Yes KM has to hold him up, but hopefully not a Dancing Brave effort. In fairness to KM he has done little wrong in all his big moments......no doubt he and JB will have run/ridden this race a dozen times.........

sprinters dont win derbys
 , unlucky with that jockey buick, terrible ride, clueless springs to mind, needed kieron fallon.did fancy ruler of the world as a cover bet, funds are tight at moment, was the only other horse i had seen run and was impressed with that spin around chester and ryan moore was pleased that day. still 2nd on the day not bad.  |

Great run by Libertarian-flying at the finish,Irish Guy,unlucky there for third,I'd say it traded pretty low in running and you might have been able to get out?

workrider you was right about a horse needing gears in the derby, know for next time the derby comes around, which
horse will be more than capable of winning the race. good leaning curve for me. always thought dawn approach had no chance of winning that race, just looking at the overall profile, told me that, thier was still plenty of people who had no clue that wouldnt even be able make a race of it, FWIW when dawn approach won the guineas,looked like a giraffe at the finish,knew after that race, wouldnt win the derby. jim bolger made a stupid move to go for that race,sheik mo had something to do with that. ruined the race as a spectacle if you ask me, believe AOB horses set slow race up for ROTW. |

Great run by Libertarian-flying at the finish,Irish Guy,unlucky there for third,I'd say it traded pretty low in running and you might have been able to get out? Battle of Marengo was matched at 1.01 in the place market,in fact the last price matched was 1.05 before suspended. Plaudits have to go to Coolmore/Ballydoyle for devising and executing their plan to perfection. Conventional thought believed that they would set a blistering pace to test the stamina of Dawn Approach but having seeing how he pulled over shorter trips,decided to go a crawl. I don't believe DA would have stayed no matter how the race panned out but that is immaterial now and we will never see him race again over 12f. Libertarian ran a fine race -It would have been hard to stomach seeing Elaine(Karl) Burke train a derby winner. |

thanks punchestown ,
this my first time reading this thread since my monkey ew post. i put 250 ew on price here and 250 ew on betfair sp on bom, because i did not like the fav, i picked the wrong one. My theory was right and if i was sober at the time place laying the fav was the real bet. I was just embarrassed posting under the influence, and yes i did get out, cheers. |
