Well Bonjour 'n' all that jazz y'all......
Well just back from my leg-destroying 42,195 metre jaunt around Paris, just the odd 5 hours, 35 minutes and 1 second, "simples", now I both metaphorically AND physically "have the t-shirt", also appear to be REALLY in need all manner of baths/gels/beer etc, so will keep this short....but we don't have a bath, we've run out of gel, and already had a beer, i'll just wait for that Budvar to kick in I guess....
I was SPOT on saying Seabass and even more so ON HIS OWN (just farcically overrated) were "dogs" and should be laid to HIGH HEAVEN on the "fair" for a place, I hope you filled you boots, and in my opinion the best horses in the National finished 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, and if AP would have plumpted (if Jonjo would of allowed it, of course) for Teaforthree I truly believe he would have won, anyhow, National moanings at another date, oh, and Mr Handicapper, just bung Sacre up to 195p, there's a good lad, you KNOW deep down he's rated 200+, what more does he have to do, juggle whilst jumping fences, blindfolded, backwards, on one leg?!?!?!?....which, to be fair he probably could!!!
Just the one recommendation tomorrow, in the Southwell opener: OPPOSING M Johnson 2 y/o debutants at Southwell has been very profitable for me in the past, but rather than laying Split Rock at around 11/10, i'll be backing the PERFECTLY DRAWN (stall 5, against the rail) Richard Fahey first-time-outer, JAGA TIME by that lovely nag, Compton Place, a real speedster and 5f/6f specialist and European Champion 3 y/o sprinter in the 90's for James Toller, who not only won over 5f on debut, but was only out of the first 2 once in it's open 8 runs, he has been the subject of favourable reports, and when his sire's report looks like this, 9/4 starts to look MIGHTY BIG indeed:
"COMPTON PLACE SIRE COMMENT: smart 2yo, later top-class sprinter, good record with sprint 2yos, some smart, progeny progress well"
I fully appreciate Johnson nag is by Shamardal, and is entitled to be classy, but that million quid making win machine (6 from 7 lifetime) won a French Derby over 1m 3f and was best on soft, 6f/7f and beyond, eeven from debut, so I reckon we've got him COOKED!!!!! I reckon Jaga Time can collar the obvious front running Fanning mount inside the distance and pull away, with maybe Claudia Octavia running on for the forecast spot, for a bit of fun, lay Split Rock at 1.06 (1/16) for a place, laying a £320 bet would only cos you a score, but JAGA TIME at 9/4 (3.45 on the Fair atm) is the call, nay BELLOW!!!!
Before I forget, if you can get a sniff on the 12/1 "Revolutionary" for the Kentucky Derby on May 4th, please do, jockey/trainer Javier Castellano/Todd Pletcher "simply cannot wait and are more excited than ever", and they've had so decent tools in the past, ew 1/5 1-2-3 most bookies, boots, fill etc etc....
AND...friend of the blog, the MIGHTY Elusive Hawk is going into battle once more tomorrow, dropping into a seller for the first time at 3pm, it's all but a two horse race with our lad 9lb wrong at the weights, but D Bates (5) reduces that to just 4, the hawk is 8/11, Hamoody 6/4, any price ya like the placepot busting duo of outsiders, he owes us nothing, but, at the prices, tomorrow I think i'll let my head rule my heart and call for a MAXIMUM bet on Hamoody, who is in cracking form himself, and as I said, 4lb well in and The Hawk has to defy YET ANOTHER career high mark....
Time for me and the missus to tuck into our "curry in a hurry", and they deliver all the way to our leafy humble abode, go figure.....
Don't forget to set your timepieces tomorrow, 'cos at the strike of 2pm. it will most definitely be..............JAGA TIME!!!!!!!!!! (and at 3pm The Hawk will fly no more......)
Be Lucky!!!
