Didn't fair too well unfortunately. After timing i know but couldn't believe Fairyland went off @ 12/1. When she was 3rd in the July cup I thought heres a one to follow at 5f ..then ran 2 bad races and because she had burnt me I lost faith..oh well could be worse..hope Mia feels better.
Goes again in AYR today, handicapper not been too harsh, thoughts?
Wouldnt discourage but things really fell right for him LTO and got a super ride (look back at the race really is good ride and prime example of when a jock knows theres a few quid down).Open race wouldn't be backing him 7/2 anyway. I think if Modred stays as I suspect he will, might go close. Only horse I've backed in Ayr is Another Touch 4:25. Hes been a frustrating horse I've followed since his early days. Should have bagged a few more than he has. Gonna give him another chance after he ran well LTO.

People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Run well the last twice. Might the type to enjoy a lady rider.
Lovely hurling

Not the greatest draw for Japan but Enable didn't get a good one either
the ground (and Enable of course) worry me more
Bad luck with the draw alright.The smallest field I can remember in an Arc so I dont think it'll be as influential as other years. It will be difficult for Moore to get a good possie. Ideally he wants to be just behind the leaders? Why does the ground worry you I was fairly sure Japan handles soft but I could be wrong?

Galileos prefer it quick. I have no reason to think Japan is an exception.
Anyway, nothing to do now except enjoy the sweat! Hopefully Enable's leg falls off overnight.

Dreadfully unlucky, was a certainty beaten, but I wouldn’t agree that he got a poor ride. I thought Crosse was so cool on him the whole way round, settled him beautifully and then it all went to f#ck in the straight when they came in on him and he got boxed just as the winner went for his run. It was just unlucky really.

The two in front were being scrubbed fully half a mile out. Why not pull off the rail then and avoid exactly what transpired? Rather than praying for the gap.
I rarely complain about jockeys (do have my theories about them and there are certain ones I wouldn't back with your money ). I think Crosse will be a top rider in time and that will just be a step on the learning curve.

Yeah I'd be firmly in the he was unlucky camp too. The gaps come in that scenario more often than not. It just transpired up the home straight that the ones in front were struggling at the same pace forming an impenetrable wall about 3 wide. I don't think it's something a jockey can account for.
FWIW unless hold up tactics suit, the rail just in behind the leader is probably the place I'm most happy for a jockey to place a horse.

Not on every track....
Actually that is one of the more interesting angles. Some jocks are superb at certain tracks. Mick Kinane was worth 7lb+ on the old Leopardstown sprint track. The lads who come up via pony racing are brilliant on the tight, turning circuits.
