Friday 24th june

yesterday was a wipe out for me and drawing my horns in a little - staying mainly with the distance races but taking my nap in the sprint race at Newcastle

19:25 7:25 Newcastle 50 EW NAP Solemn  17 "Solemn is in the pink at the moment and cannot believe his price for this 5flngs - last time at Salisbury he carried 10-05 in a class 4 sprint out of a low drawn 2 box and off a mark of 90 I made that a performance around the mid 90s (true he's up into a class 2 tonight and has some youngsters to contend with) but better drawn and racing off just 89 the price is too high - keniry rides this track well having bagged 14% wins (1 from 7 rides) from his last 5 yr visits whereas Milton Bradley is a stranger at the track!"

19:35 7:35 Newmarket 100 Win NB Crimson Knight  10 "This animal is crying out for this trip and the first time handicap makes him well in to get home tonight has improved for each step up in trip and this mark is not beyond him and 10s looks as if he's a tad overpriced for the win on this ground" Resulttttttttttttttttttttt - 1 Crimson Knight 12/1 2 Starlight Walk 11/4 Fav 3 Cunning Act 13/2 and won he did -  managed to get even more on Betfair as it went out to 16s
