The forecast was always rain coming across today - maybe not as heavy as what arrived but it was going to rain today , every app said as much.

They have had a mare

It’s rained for hours and that was never forecast.
I was playing golf today because it predicted no rain but the course shut at 10am.
However I do bow to your expertise,it never ceases to amaze me the extent of your knowledge on everything.
Horse racing ground your latest.

Did you lay it?

Given the amount of rain thats fell today to only just get done thats some performance from Tiger Roll.
Amazing performance Stu wasn’t it.
Basically the experts were saying he had no chance.
The betting suggested he did but I suspect most of that money was for the love of the horse.

It certainly was. The way he came back onto the racecourse cruising was amazing. On drier ground i think he wins.

Great horse, shame the owner is an absolute chopper.

Galopin in the match, quite like Royal Kahala in the Stayers. Couldnt back Allaho in the ground at the price but looks a pretty poor race. Little else making any appeal to me

I'm not concerned by the going today, its all good soft ground on the new course albeit a bit softer in places.

The 7lb Mares allowance for Royal Kahala could prove to be decisive.

Royal Kahala is one of my bets of the day so I would suggest anyone else who has backed her to cash out now.

I also have...

1:30 - Galopin
2:50 - Allaho
3:30 - Royal Kahala
4:50 - Impervious (a leg seems to have fallen off)
5:30 - Mister Coffey

On betfair: £10 at 1000 the winner IR, £40K on the loser at 1/100 before the last too

Not sure it was a bad jump just crumpled on landing. Glad to see Galopin up ok

Makes my couple of pound look insignificant.
