Scotia on the Summer Cup weekend.

Good morning and hope we are all geared up for a big weekend and pray the weather plays its part.

We have a full house at the box and look forward to having a great vibe and plenty winners.


Summer Cup Day

As far as the runners have to stick with PJ although drifting by the day but sure we have a few easier strikes before the big race.

My early selections are Europa Point will be my first bet in race 3 followed by Link Man and and if number 2 is your lucky number, maybe a treble with Katy's Lane. Then a cracker with Potala Palace (Azzie says its better than Ali) but will it sting Merhee and Straw Market? We then have the big one, will just take photos, hopefully PJ, I will then have a bet on Mirage Drive and then party until the taxi comes to take us to the guest house in Joburg.


Ebony Flyer

We also have good racing on Sunday and look forward to watching and possibly backing Ebony Flyer, Changingoftheguard and What a Winter plus the Selangor Cup and all the best to Clan posters with runners.

Must say have been enjoying the new show on Tellytrack where Molly is in the hot seat "World Focus" and its getting me in the mood for some good jump races.

What can we say about the 11 year old Kauto Star it would be great to get to Kempton Park on Boxing day to watch the champ win a 5th King George. Long Run is still the fav but has eased to 15/10 the Star is 5/1 and Master Minded 6/1. The crowd will bring the roof down if Kauto sails over the last in majestic fashion.

I feel the Cheltenham Gold Cup would be a bridge to far where Long Run is 5/2 fav. The other Cheltenham draw cards will be Hurricane Fly for the Champion Hurdle 2/1 and as normal the festival banker Big Bucks at evens for the World Hurdle.

This Sat has the Hennessy where its 6/1 Aiteen Thirtythree and I fancy Wayward Price at 10/1.


Kauto Star

For the flat fans I am sure we are all missing Frankel but we have to wait some time, before we can see Camelot in the 2000gns 6/1 and 7/2 for the Derby and for the fillies Maybe still 6/1 for the 2000 gns and Wading tops the boards for the Oaks.

The site is still buzzing and again thanks for the superb and numerous posts, here are a few, we have about 5 on the Summer Cup alone!

Sheer Courage in a novice?.

All the best Nico.

Does the game need owners?.

Plenty other sports and betting opportunities over the weekend and will be checking with the Clan experts for a few atc's incase the wheels come off at the big T.
Sports betting continues the upswing with many variations on 2 teams plus the in running factor so place your bets.

We are also getting close to year end and many manufacturing plants are cutting back and closing early due to component supply after the recent floods causing havoc and "force majeure" has been implemented in certain cases.
"Majeure" is that not the Scottish lad that was the front man for Ultravox?



"is this a greater force"?

So whatever you do this weekend try and get to the big T.

Good punting and may your God be with you

scotia

Kempton are reporting that ticket sales are booming after Kauto winning at the weekend
