Sorry Hibs, I HAVE to ask if you are really serious?
As I said, I only saw 20 to 30 m of the GP Stakes and feel that CTN is the horse to beat in both the Guineas and Derby
A lot of posters agree with me.
Having a lot of respect for your views I wonder what you saw, or what I missed
Where can I watch a rerun of the GP Stakes?:S

It was odds on that Variety Club and King Of Pain would be entered. I wonder how much these thieves have laid to customers in full knowledge they leaving out likely short priced entries. Sportingbet suck in the tradition of all these uk companies that have come here. Having said that, the Gambling Boards have more rules than the ANC, just hardly any that protect the punter but 99% that collect tax. Someone say it ain't true?

You can't have it every which way. Slow pace destroys the race but the best horses are winning. The problem is a slow pace favours the horse in front, but front runners get swallowed. Visiting jocks often figure the pace is slow so they go to the front but die near the end. In Writing a very notable exception, but he turned out to be wolf in sheeps clothing and followed up. I have no theory and still waiting for the penny to drop on this one.

8/1 VC

Pomo and Slumdog cannot be ignored
