LBH

Why should this be scary?

The fact that Old Em ran a comparative time to Arabian Beat is merely an indicator that she is likely group class,as Arabian Beat clearly is already having won a group one.

Group class horses are all MR 100's +,so for these younger horses to be running comparatively good times relative to their elders who are 'merely' rated in the 90's is not scary at all.

Btw a horse rated 65 and a horse rated 75(albeit carrying less weight) also also had quicker times than her on the same day.

Of course you could be correct and her she could bolt in,but I'm just saying comparisons should be carefully drawn when they are made.

Race 6 - Rushmore River
Race 7 - Barbel Run
Race 8 - Call Kelly

All the best to all Clanners for today...enjoy...

Killua Castle returning to the form he was in when finishing 2nd in the SC or even when winning this race last year would make him a big runner, crazy price compaired to a couple in the race...

Really think ruahmore river is going to win the jubilee

R1 Roving Jet (R2 e/w Egocentric, all the best Nik, has the draw this time as well... and R0.50 cents e/w lol Rock Force)
R2 Old Em
R3 Great Brother
R4 She's A Flirt (R3 Victor's Castle, R2 Pied Piperess, R1 Carino)
R5 Lazer Star
R6 Rushmore River
R7 Flag Of France
R8 VAR BAY (just a slight concern with the draw being on the low side).

Be(s)t of luck to all

Welcome Shield {high fives}.... Woody one runner, Gavin booked, loves the C&D ...16's worth a small nibble Bob.
All the best BigNic and any others with runners today

Miss December looks a good place bet. 3 places hollywood

18 months since his last win,but Barbel Run ran a blinder at the weights last time.CD suited,today looks like the right day for him.

Looks a very interesting "out of season card" to me.
R1 I like Big Nick's horse and thanks for the confidence. E/w for me.
R2 OLD EM
R3 GREAT BROTHER
R4 Seven rainbows from she's a flirt.
R5 LAZER STAR
R6 Killua Castle from Cagiva
R7 Barbel run, but always seems to find one better on the day, maybe an exacta float.
R8 Cohiba for me. As always if jumps on terms, starts have improved of late so hoping Gunther can get him out as close to on terms as possible and the rest will be history.

Thinking about going down to the track, all the best chaps.

With the track running fast this time of year, I would imagine Greasepaint may go start to finish. hopefully the track bias is not that detrimental... will take the doubles Greasepaint x Manx Park, and Greasepaint x Last Battle

R4 15 Paris Princess- returning from a rest but include in exotics
