Nice to get a good winner yesterday. Uber Cool backed each way at 9/2 advised, heavily backed, he finished up as 3/1 favourite. What a great ride by Frankie Dettori, he was at his best.
I saw Frankie at Newmarket recently on 2,000 Guineas day, he was his usual self full of banter, I have not seen him since last year, so it was good to say hello. When I worked for Godolphin, Frankie was stable jockey. He was always good to the staff, especially if he rode a good winner, great fun to be around, but at the races he was the complete professional. For me he is still one of the best jockeys riding.
Todays Free tip is as follows:
Horse: Mirage Dancer
Time: 3.45 Goodwood
Current Odds: 4/5
Although short in the betting, I think this horse will be very hard to beat. He ran a really good race last time when second, only just beat that day by a very useful horse, they pulled clear of the third that day. If he runs to that form he wins. He stays well, and has a good jockey on top. I actually think he will improve a lot for the run last time. He is obviously delicate, as he is lightly raced. But this horse has a lot of talent. Of rivals, Euginio tries 1m 4f for the first time, if he stays he is probably the one to beat, Blakeney Point is very genuine, he stays well but may well benefit for the run today, it is his first run of 2018.
