The early bird gets worms.

OR has his first drink....<

Kailani in the Oaks and Main Sequence in the Derby e/w double.

So we start with the Oaks today, really is a open race imo but I will go with Coquet to beat Kaikani and Vow for 3rd. In the Investec mile Boogie Shoes and Laffan in the last on the card today.

Looking forward to the next couple of days, Worthadd best bet today and will stick with young Joseph Obrien to have a good weekend with Maybe in the Oaks, St Nicholas Abbey and Camelot for the big one.

Good punting!

Bonfire for me

Kieren Fallon on the Oaks

While I was stable jockey at Ballydoyle one of the things I really admired about Aidan was his ability to bring a horse back to his best after a poor run, so with that in mind you can’t rule out Maybe, but I feel there is at least one better qualified runner in the field.
From what I have seen of the fillies this season there is only one I would pick and that is William Haggas’s unbeaten Vow.
She was green as grass on her debut at Newbury but her class saw her come from last to first to win. That education wasn’t wasted as she showed a tremendous turn of foot to win the Lingfield Oaks Trial, admittedly on the Polytrack.
She looked to have any amount of improvement in her and she has an excellent chance of providing William with back-to-back wins in this fillies’ Classic.
He has only ever had two runners in the Epsom Classics – Shaamit and Dancing Rain – and both won!
The Fugue has been all the rage since she won the Musidora in eyecatching style, but I rode in that race and I am not so sure how strong the form is. I rode a maiden of William’s who was no superstar and I would have expected The Fugue to have put a lot more distance between herself and my filly, so for that reason she doesn’t get my vote.

And lets not forget the Haggas yard is in hot form at the moment....

Muis winning the oaks in 1993

There was a load of cash lining up to lay Maybe for even a place on Betfair lastnight,not checked the markets today

I fancy the Fallon post and will go along with his choice
