Sometimes certain rides can really not place any faith in this game by me.

That was shocking.

Average jocks with too much faith in their ability, do they think a man of Marcus ability will miss judge a pace ?

Jocks are only great when we have a winning ticket!

I made the comment because of the below average ride the horse got, nothing to do with the money buddy.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant by Suyoof!! His name is now in the Guineas hat!!

As thought, NP hated the track.

Champagne Haze, I was worried when he flew like that! This guineas will be something else wow..

I was making a general comment, no shaming intended

Strangely tote double will pays with Noor show 13,10, quite amazing when this morning 50's were available and as much as 90/1 before the jump of the 7th

De Kock to pull off the big race double with Noor

Whose riding Noor?

I will back the Dragon horse at 5's

Negroamaro will destroy them in the gauteng fillies guineas, what a run from her position.

I know Frodo etc was very strong on Aldiara so I'm going to have a wager on her to round off a nice day.

Not a great day for me .....well let's call a spade a spade ...I had a k*k day

Can't believe the run by New Predator - inside track or not ..............that was too bad to be true..............all in all Gavin had one of those days when everything he rode ran below par.........and then the get-out stakes got rained out

It's a strange thing about racing .....it always seems to be all or nothing, and the van vuuren stable is going through a real nightmare (he himself mentioned it to the presenters at Greyville on Friday)-nothing going their way!
Not sure whether it's just the pressure of suddenly having some serious runners or a dent in confidence (that dispute of ownership may well be hanging over)
Let's hope he gets his mojo back soon -a very good trainer IMO.

Just watched the Ruffel finish again, thought there was a jockey change on Champagne Haze as who ever rode looked stronger than last time

did you not hear they took away the hill at Turffs and also carrying 60kg instead of 61.5kg gave him an extra leg. Miss Marple would not awaken and I'm sure the stipes will not either.
