The four legged game: the R3 Forum racing thread

[EdgeleyRob]

Yes, great shame about Sir Henry. He looked pretty terrible last time I saw him in Newmarket

and had lost his voice more or less completely.

That's so sad.

Not sure when the next selection will be - better to

have a smaller number of exquisite investments than a ragbag of half decent ones.

When the tips are of such quality we don't mind waiting Alison .

I guess today is the day we get back fully on topic and salute the greatest racehorse in the world.

Pleased that Amateur is enjoying the thread ! Not sure when the next selection will be - better to

have a smaller number of exquisite investments than a ragbag of half decent ones.

It's your enthusiasm for something that I just don't understand that I enjoy Alison - almost infectious

Love the idea of the exquisite investments

It's been said before but a what horse - won in an absolute canter by a country mile.

Aye a good 'un for sure.
Shergar still my all time favourite,that stunning Derby win will live in the memory.

3.45 Newmarket TODAY

AL WAAB returns to the scene of his thrilling victory for forum punters. We are basically 10 points ahead after wins at 7-1 at 11-4 so I would recommend your usual stake today ensuring a 9 point gain even if we get beaten today.

It's a slightly tricky 4 runner race, all of them previous winners, but current price of 3-1 represents fair value.

The way our lad quickened from last place to first, not forcibly ridden in his previous race, suggests he could have the class to win this.

Another win on the board ! 3-1.

I fear some of the normal suspects may have missed the midweek selection but hope somebody somewhere has

won a few quid.

Well done AlisonI missed this one though

[Alison]

Oh what a shame !! I thought you were an all day forumite Edgers ! Xx

[ahinton]

...and the poor old Frankel that I'd assumed that this referred to when first I set eyes on this thread (and to which I drew attention early on in its life) remains sidelined...

A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a symphony...

[EdgeleyRob]

I thought you were an all day forumite Edgers ! Xx

I wish!

Why should I let the toad work
Squat on my life?
Can’t I use my wit as a pitchfork
And drive the brute off?

Six days of the week it soils
With its sickening poison -
Just for paying a few bills!
That’s out of proportion.

Sadly missed it too but it does show Alison that you are a tipster without equal - presumably this good two year old form all points to a lot of confidence in Ataraxis when he appears?

Yes, all roads leading to Ataraxis ! Just a bit longer to wait ....

For some reason much of the racing fraternity didn't realise how easily Al Waab won his maiden.

I couldn't see why the Racing Post made him the outsider of four today.

Frankel will reappear next week so have no fears, ahinton !

I may have an investment opportunity for York so stay posted.

[Petrushka]

Well done AlisonI missed this one though

Missed this too

Working full time rules out quite a few things.

Looking forward to your York tip!

[Alison]

Here's the York Ebor meeting selection as promised:

3:05 York Wednesday THOMAS CHIPPENDALE

A hugely progressive horse, very impressive at Royal Ascot last time. This is thought to be Sir Henry's
St Leger horse. As it happens one of our five opponents will be our Goodwood winner Noble Mission.
The feeling is that Thomas has the edge, his weaker form earlier in the season reflecting his not so satisfactory state
of health during the winter and spring.

I will be having a 'Rod Laver' on Noble Mission to cover the main selection. ie If you put a tenner on TC, you could have a
£2.50 insurance bet on NM.

We are due a loser after three winning selections but I am confident we will be on the right one again.

Good luck, Alison.
