Firm Footings, Riaan, Cool Survivor, Felix Desjy would all be on the MP shortlist too. Would assume him and Cool Survivor are split. -

Yep, same. I'm so keen on him for the AB but if he gets an ok mark you know Gordon's gonna swing at it.Originally posted by gwaaan View Post
However just like last year, Elliot seems to be going against type and turning up mob handed in handicaps. Makes me nervyComment

He’s already a UK mark of 141 if I recall correctlyComment

He does. Which is perfect for a Pipe and, in my view, underrates him.Originally posted by gwaaan View PostComment

He’s a pretty similar to all the Giggi winners like Blow By Blow, Sir Des Champs, Don Poli, Champagne Classic… staying chasers for next seasonComment

A growing realisation that there won't be any significant rain during the week, which was mooted over the last week or so. If this stays the same, I think we can see continued watering over race week itself, although this is tempered by racing on the two courses, old for the first two days and then the new course for Thursday and Friday. Probably will harden views now against softer ground performers, but at the same time, if we fancy any, perhaps a bit of value on certain horses.Comment

My issue with watering is the antiquated way in which it's done, it's literally a hosepipe set to throw water in the air, if the wind blows half the area gets nothing and the other half too much, it creates false ground and a massive bias for near/far rail, I'm amazed there isn't a better system around.Originally posted by Irish Rugby View Post
So if there's confidence in no rain during race week I would prefer them to overwater for the next 7/10 days in the hope some moisture remains in the ground for racing but that it achieves fair ground.
Bayoffreedom and archie will no far more than me but artificial irrigation never appears to be done well for me....Comment

Maybe just me, but I found this from Matt Tombs on the potential water table differing on the old and new courses interesting
Apropos of nothing, I always go to spell his name Tooms. I watched too much X Files as a kidComment

Thought provoking, also I was one of those got caught out by royal Kahala last year. Knew it was the grounds faultOriginally posted by robith View PostMaybe just me, but I found this from Matt Tombs on the potential water table differing on the old and new courses interesting
