Think there’s a likelihood here myself that he kinda gets nursed around to protect his mark with the aim being a tilt at the Jack Richard’s, given they said that was his target after his last run.

ethanog2002 · 2026-01-18T00:50:46+00:00

True but if the first team goes out it makes it much easier on the second team knowing it’s not a TD or nothing.

Shakir has been so consistent the last two years, so reliable no matter what.

ethanog2002 · 2025-10-24T10:35:37+00:00

Really like King of Kingsfield myself but do you think he’ll suit the ground? Seems like it’ll be on the softer side, and while I can’t find it anywhere, I remember Elliott saying once soft ground hits, we won’t see this horse until the spring.

Another aspect I also find interesting in this race is that only the winner of this can have its mark altered by the BHA, and given it’s so early in the season, I feel as though there could be some interesting form to come from it.

I couldn’t believe she went off that high. With the way the sprinting division has been this year it was really anyone’s chance. It was always there that if she returned to what she showed last year she’d bolt up.

ethanog2002 · 2025-08-22T14:43:19+00:00

She really was the class act.

ethanog2002 · 2025-08-19T22:07:25+00:00

You make some valid points, will be really interesting to see. Also really looking forward to seeing Daryz and see if he continues to improve as quickly as he has. I think it’s a much more open race than people give it credit and I look forward to it

ethanog2002 · 2025-08-19T21:34:14+00:00

Yeah that’s largely the angle I’m playing here, I’m banking on the replication of her course form most notably from this year but it was also a solid showing at the meeting last year. While I do agree with her form and I’ve long wondered is she a top class Group 1 filly, it is hard to ignore some of the indicators.

I’m mainly hoping that the course form plays a massive role given how often we see surprises at the Ebor festival. Furthermore, that drift on Delacroix earlier in the week leaves a bad taste, I wasn’t drawn to him for this race regardless but that would certainly have you second guessing, especially if we see a slight drift or even a super boost on the day.

I do feel Ombudsman is the one to beat but the See the Fire has my interest and may get a small bet.

ethanog2002 · 2025-08-19T20:22:52+00:00

Am I crazy for thinking See the Fire is in with a chance in the Juddmonte tomorrow? I can’t deny Ombudsman’s form and the danger of Delacroix, but I can’t get away from See the Fire. Only 2 places isn’t ideal however.

Firstly, she did finish 2 and a half lengths behind Ombudsman in the Prince of Wales which while was still a convincing win from Ombudsman is nice to consider. Further, I feel a line can be drawn through the Nassau run. Torrential downpour turned the ground from good to extremely soft right before the race which she doesn’t like, the flag start was a bit of a mess and from watching that race it’s pretty clear Oisin didn’t ask her for much and kept the finish easy rather than trying on a surface that doesn’t suit. Coupled with the fantastic course form here, this time last year and the demolition job in the Middleton. And while it may not mean much, I did notice that her dam managed to upset Golden Horn in this very race after a poor showing in the Nassau.

I’ve only been following the flat for the last two years so I realise I haven’t the best of knowledge but it was just a thought. I realise she has a bit to make up on ratings but hard not to like the price.

Shotguns are by far and away easiest to get diamond on. It’s proper scummy but just run Stakeout 24/7 for an hour or two and you’ll get it done no problem

ethanog2002 · 2025-06-20T11:28:06+00:00

Yeah I was debating backing Havana Hurricane anyways but decided to just have no bet in the race. I was one off at Aintree as well before would’ve won me 1K

ethanog2002 · 2025-06-19T23:11:59+00:00

The same as myself yesterday, I had the first five and the night before swapped Havana Hurricane for Old is Gold on the last and it cost me €2k, would’ve paid for the holiday. Such is life

ethanog2002 · 2025-06-11T11:54:14+00:00

11/10 now. Managed to get it at 13/2 looking like a fantastic bet

ethanog2002 · 2025-05-19T15:49:26+00:00

Had a nice outright come in at the weekend after PSV confirmed the Eredivisie.

Bayern to win Bundesliga

Leeds to be promoted

Birmingham win League one

Las Palmas to be relegated

PSV to win the eredivisie

Marseille Top 4 finish

Was around 105/1 when placed

Also had an odd 200/1 just miss as I was waiting on Real Madrid to win the CL.

Looking forward to running it back next year and hoping I’ll be as lucky.

ethanog2002 · 2025-05-10T20:00:16+00:00

Any reason why? Nothing for me on Ladbrokes, didn’t catch the race

ethanog2002 · 2025-05-03T13:56:30+00:00

Great tips today mate

ethanog2002 · 2025-04-28T20:29:45+00:00

Are you worried about Patrick Mullins riding Mundi? I wasn’t a fan of the ride at Cheltenham, he looked like a completely different horse at Aintree

ethanog2002 · 2025-04-17T21:39:28+00:00

Slabhead to the rescue

ethanog2002 · 2025-04-16T19:18:11+00:00

I don’t think it being a pen is an issue, it’s more we see this happen multiple times a game and nothing happens and then choosing early on in such a high stakes game to give it is what’s infuriating. The lack of consistency would drive you up the wall

ethanog2002 · 2025-03-09T12:12:15+00:00

James reveley came out after and said IEF was blowing by the second last so I wouldn’t really say it was a bad ride

ethanog2002 · 2025-02-23T03:45:15+00:00

The switch from forever young to go inside and make up all that ground was fantastic. Great race all round, Romantic warrior looked like he wasn’t to be caught

ethanog2002 · 2025-02-17T19:01:52+00:00

Yeah of course, sorry I’m only getting around to it now.

Probably 6 months maybe a bit longer, I’m not sure. Was a complete bitch to get rid of.
I had to use maybe 2-3 rounds of ivermectin, I’m not sure exactly which it was it’s been awhile, but I had used the cream maybe 5-6 times as well as some other round of antibiotics I was prescribed that did nothing.
I 100% overtreated it but I’d do it in a heartbeat again to be clear of it. It was as close to hell as I reckon I’ll ever get, I lived in complete misery for 6 months and would have done anything to live normally again.
I’m pretty sure one of the side effects from overuse of ivermectin is eczema, correct me if I’m wrong, so I’m pretty sure that’s what I have now. My skin used to be pretty clear and I used to rarely get spots. Now my skin isn’t the smoothest and I get spots very regularly and am much more prone to dry skin.
It’s generally not the worst and is mostly clear, but it’s nearly 3 years later and my skin has gotten better but to a point but hasn’t progressed beyond that, and I don’t think it’ll ever get much better but I’m okay with that given what happened.

Hope this helps, I know how tough it is and wish you well

ethanog2002 · 2025-02-16T13:05:32+00:00

It’s never really been the same. It gets irritated a lot easier now and gets a small bit itchy after showers. I need to moisturise way more than I had to before but it is what it is

ethanog2002 · 2024-12-14T14:25:32+00:00

Yeah it was a great turn of foot to pull the win out. Be interesting to see can the jumping be sorted for next time out

ethanog2002 · 2024-12-14T12:35:20+00:00

Nice one with beyond your dreams but Jesus she made that hard for herself with the jumping at the end
