Vaal - Thursday 15th May

Hopefully the full card betting is out for both Friday and Saturday by the time Rake's Chestnut runs, I want to take this treble :-

Rake's Chestnut (today) X Futura (Greyville Friday) X Kingvoldt (Kenilworth Saturday)

3/1 or better on the above and I'll be more than happy.

I think RC is much too short in the betting - ran to his rating last time, so nothing that convinces me that he should be odds on - could still win of course, but like Mr H, I also fancy Judicial after a very good last run in the Derby, also Leeuloop Jet looks very well in on his penultimate run (just did not see out the Derby trip imo), and then Noble Star is threatening to win, Everest does seem held by a couple, but could still be improving - very open race imo where the betting is all wrong :

i absolutely agree with the hobbit!!!

Here is my summary. Rake's Chestnut will bounce as high as the hills today. He ran an unbelievable race first run up back from a rest. I think he is flat today. I love Everest, everybody knows this BUT Leeuloop Jet is so well in at the weights here. Any price you can get about him is HUGE value. Last time in the Derby he may not have seen it out BUT he was drawn widest and they elected to take him to the front in a GR1. That obviously didn't suit him. You can forget that run altogether.

A lot of value on him imo.

Non runner as in no chance of winning or non runner because it's scratched? Please excuse my ignorance.

Thanks harry. (tu)

Dissapointment from both sides, those that fancied him and those looking to get a decent price trying to beat him.

My foursome is now a treble

Threesome's are not that bad either.

That reminds me, when you wife is feeling generous and tells you she is going to give you a threesome for you your birthday, and for you to give her the names, whatever you do don't give her two names that doesn't include her.

Vaal [11:15] Jock Silberstein 6/1 Each Way: 1/5 1 - 3
Vaal [12:25] Sparkling Moon 8/1 Each Way: 1/5 1 - 3
Vaal [13:00] Lions Emblem 8/1 Each Way: 1/5 1 - 3

Something amiss with horse and his reputation - Must still prove he is a top horse in graded company and best left alone for now
