This is probably a long shot but can anyone point me in the direction of a copy of 'A Century of Champions' bar the few on Amazon

minibear

You could try Kennys bookshop in Galway or the Book Centre in Waterford. My Mam got help from both of them when she was buying Barney Curley books for me.

minibear

on ebay.ie but from the UK.

Brilliantly thorough book. Very hard to get your hands on only about 1000 were printed. Timeform couldn't help me nor could Tony Morris he said he couldn't get help John Oxx or Lord Derby when they contacted him looking for one


Third race at Brighton Lugarano Palace has an 8lb swing having finished about 1.5 lengths behind Nigel the favourite. At 9/1 and 3/1 I know who I want to chance (365 went 14s for a few mins and missed it sick)

I read it in the shop this morning. Had to check today's date in case it was a leg pull .

Which is to blame Alan Flemings training abilities or Barry Connell's horses????

Amazing Maria 12/1 $$$$$$$ for the Falmouth should be second fav I reckon

A horse we bred won at Roscommon last night and I didn't have a cent on. 100/1 was available.

Sandra Hughes told the aul lad about a month ago he strengthened up after his break but was still surprised to see him running in a maiden hurdle. Was ready to absolutely lump on him in a handicap over 2m 4f or further off 88 and he then goes and wins a maiden hurdle at 33s.

Primrose Valley looks like it has been laid out for the 605 Nmkt tomorrow, already attracting cash for a yard that likes to have a crack at one. I've had a decent bet at 7/1. Ran at same meeting last yr after a break with a respectable effort off 98 in a class 2, running off 90 tomorrow, clas 3 and the decent amateur is taking another handy 3lbs off just to make certain it wins GL

Anyone backing the Grey Gatsby today up in trip on the better ground?

Glendine River looks a bit big at 16s in the last at Leopardstown tonight. Ew nibble.

i looked at that race last week and thought there was going to be a huge mistake with hype horse exoshpere in this. I dont often get tempted by 3/1 shots but this is looking very tempting. Hype horse has done nothing of note really and is no way worth his rating so far.

krustydoyle

Couldn't be bothered looking up a racing uk stream so I'm only turning up the volume on channel 4 during the race for one simple reason.. That dope analyzing the racing

ahh well, they gave a sure stayer like Big Orange way to easy a race there. Great ride from his jockey though

Absolute madness letting Big Orange dictate that race. The Grey Gatsby ran well no complaints, Spencer rode the race to try get the trip.

Didn't see race but was sure I'd found one last night and had a lump on.. A little disappointed it didn't get the job done.

Peintre Celebre

Hopefully my 12/1 on Amazing Maria proves right looks big now 3 places given she's 5/1 two places. Rare Conor is too big in a poor looking bumper at cork at 12/1 amazing how close he finished two runs back when running freely. The fact he has gone off fav twice out of his three points suggests he has ability and he could go ok tomorrow. Besharah should be fav at York and is worth punting at 7/2

Missed the 4/5 Griezzzman to be top scorer earlier. If I wrote to 365 on chat do you think they'd still offer it

Try it. No harm in asking

A few months ago I liked the look of France/Griezmann double at 33s on William Hill and didn't put a cent on. Looking fairly good now.

Backed Normandy Barrierre in the 440 Ascot. Disappointing last two runs but they were over 7f, back to 6f today and the scene of his last win in a race that threw up a few subsequent winners, hoping the trainer can make the long journey home worth it this evening. 12/1 ew. GL

Francie Barrett

Interesting, Donnacha has a pile of rides at Musselbrugh today for the queen.

Johner

The Queen is there as well.

I was messing about writing to them btw. Out of luck today. Two at big prices tomorrow I'll chance stepper point at ascot and fire fighting who seems to be having his 50th run in the last 12 months

Runs in the 2.35 at Fairyhouse tomorrow. Pp already clipped in to 12s from 16.

Think Birch had a winner today, that is actually the first time I've seen him tip a winner.

What is the admission price at Killarney tomorrow?

That Duine Uasal is well handicapped but being run over too far I reckon. Be a good bet back to six but what do I know
