Nice to get a winner for my new information and advisory service yesterday. White Chocolate was advised at 11/8, and backed into 6/5. She was given a confident ride by Jamie Spencer, the filly did not seem to mind the rain that fell, and changed the going. Good to get subscribers off to a winning start.
Epsom Derby:
I gave Delano Roosevelt as an each way (free) bet yesterday. He ran a solid race to be just out of the frame. He is worth following, as he will have a good race in him this season. The favourite Saxon Warrior did not seem to handle the track well, he id slightly stumble leaving the stalls. Having won the 2000 Guineas so well, where he beat Masar and Roaring Lion. I would not be surprised if something comes to light over the next day or so, for his lacklustre performance.
I was really pleased to see Masar win for Godolphin. Charlie Appleby obviously looked delighted. It was good to see him mention his team at home, and jockey Brett Doyle, who rides Masar in all his homework. Charlie is a nice guy, and is doing well with his horses. Quite the opposite to my old boss. I am not sure what is going on with Saeed Bin Suroor’s yard. The statistics do not lie, and Saeed’s stats are very poor for the season so far. Hopefully he can get things back on track for the remainder of the year, he ran a nice two year old yesterday that won, I knew he was fancied. He handled the rain softened ground well.
No free bet advised today.
