After the downpour of rain yesterday, especially at Goodwood, big outsider won the Group 1 Sussex Stakes.  To be honest I thought the ride of William Buick was very strange, he seemed to stop riding Ribchester about 2f out, for what reason only he knows why!  He then decided to give his horse a smack with the whip,  as the two who had passed him seemed to be treading water inside the last furlong, Ribchester rallied and was only denied by a neck at the line.  I think he should of won, it was a major error as I see it, especially when £550,000 was at stake for the winner !

Back to today: My Free Tip as Follows-

Horse: Doublet

Time: 6.55 Epsom

Current Odds: 15/8

This horse won well last time, acts on the track, which is important at Epsom.  He has a 7lb penalty, but with Sylvester De Souza on top, I expect him to make all the running, and keep going up the home straight to win. Couple of decent opponents, Guvenor’s Choice probably the main threat.

Lots of rain at Goodwood.  I am going to watch, I may have a few small bets on outsiders because of the rain.

Pouring rain here in Guernsey at the moment.  I will try and put a tip up later, just watching changes/updates in going at the race meetings today.

Mildenberger gave a small profit at 11/2 advised for an each way investment, he ran well.  He was well supported in the betting, finishing up at much shorter odds.

Big Orange ran well, just worn down inside the last furlong by an improving 3 year old, having to give 14lb to Stradivarius was just to much.

Todays free tip as follows:

Horse: Big Orange

Time: 3.35 Goodwood

Current Odds: Evens

Big Orange is top rated, course and distance winner, and is coming into the race from his win in the Ascot Gold cup last month.  Frankie Dettori who missed the ride at Ascot due to injury, is back on board today.  A lot of boxes are ticked, so I am backing him.

I am interested in the 2.25 Goodwood, it has some decent two year olds running.  Lots with chances, some will lose their unbeaten record today.  Mildenberger at around 11/2 has a decent chance, he could be worth a small each way investment if he remains at those odds.
