I don't use it but I cannot log in...very very slow...

Yeah they are having power failure issues....

Its too late now....I wanted to get on both the first races...so yeah....might as well turn it up for the rest of the day

Rebel Heart would be good thing but stable badly off form

Even if the stable was in form the horse has had 18 chances, no wins and is drawn in the sticks... :

got a nice in tribute/espumanti double..espumanti is a guineas filly im sure..machine

#2, ESPUMENTI; OK so what do you get at the current odds?; a hot import; unbeaten; last time out beat Amazing Grace into 3rd who was a subsequent winner next time out; a big weight advantage on MR's; Delpech, de Kock and lightly raced. A bargain
