I was particularly impressed by the field assembled for this running of the Bashford Manor Stakes run at 6 furlongs (1200) for 2yo's at Churchill Downs. So impressed I decided to make a 'Place your bets' on it. Normally with my well bred beasts I expect to win but in this case I won't be surprised if I lose especially after what I've seen in three starts from my entry - Coolio.

Who do you like???

The Detailed Racecard - 8 last out winners and no one has finished out of the money in their career.



The Paddock - A few who are agitated but mostly a ready to run group.



The Tipsters - All over the place here with no one picking the obvious one to beat ~ Tyrannosaurus Rex

Coolio



-------------------------------

There is a huge amount of speed in here and with that I will instruct my jockey to "Don't lead ~ Prefer Inside". With all the speed I will pick all late runners here.

Tyrannosaurus Rex - Seems the real deal

Coolio - My horses rarely run out of the money

Afleet Alex -Done everything right so far

Mahubo - Win chance if he wasn't agitated

Tyrannosaurus Rex

Kingdom of munster.

Sirus u game looks like aliens have infected it with all that green.

Mahubo

Coolio trainer has had the jockey pull the horse last two runs hoping to get better price in this high class field and take the bookies to the Brink of bankruptcy.

Madison Square as he was second in the rolocking stakes or similar kinda name lol.

Afleet Alex for me.

Afleet Alex wins. Well done Namor. Afleet Alex went on to do nothing in his career. Tyrannosaurus Rex went on to be a top tier horse. Coolio was a useful sort and made the shed but I've had much better.

That's great! I was torn between Afleet Alex and Coolio really. Happy to have made the right choice.
