Newmarket 30th

The Boss discovered that Borderlescott is running at Newmarket tomorrow.....so I have an excuse to drive across for the guineas meeting........so far I have spotted the following (although there has been some fizz drunk in our household today!!). I beg your indulgence to help make the day pay for itself!

2.00 Newm Proponent trainer and jockey top rated course stats good and has had a run this year

2.30 Newm Dandino hear that Elite RC have high hopes.....Laheeb main danger and Indian Days works better at home than Dandino but Given thinks Dandino more talented...

3.10 Nemw Roderick O'Conner for the reasons given previously

3.45 Newm Astrophysical Jet can't see past this one highest rated and might be better, likes the ground. This is of course the race the Boss is going to see as it has Borderlescott running...he has gone well in this race in previous years but is probably in his last season. The Bastiman's are having a dreadful time as Rebecca B (who had been doing most of the training) has a brain tumour and is not working full time.

Any comments?

Thanks in advance.

John

Frankel......what a horse, not a chance for the others......he was calm in the ring and behaved himself! The length of his stride is phenominal...

Borderlescott ran as expected.......but we were invited by the Bastimans into the parade ring..what a day.......doubt we will get to do that again! Oh yes first and second in the first and a win in the second made it all well worth while!

Happy days!

Hi John - what an afternoon your in for mate hope you and your more perceptive partner have a satchel loading day.
Your comments on Rodrick O'conner have been noted good luck with that one and though I wish Borderless Scot well cant see him being in the frame today
Green destiny has an outstanding chance in the 2.00
and candy yard are very very keen on Seal Rock in the 4.20
good luck have a great day
Bob

Hope you took the advice on Seal - and Mrs JohnB had a great day racing post comments on her beloved Borderlescott :- Borderlescott, third and second in the last two runnings of this when making his seasonal reappearance, stayed on towards the nearside late on. He is apparently harder to get fit as he gets older, so yet another Group racesprint success this season can hardly be ruled out.
