I think the jockeys think they are Jamie spencer, I would like the jock to know that u cant fall out of the back of the tv when the race is run at a crawl. Someone's got to be last but not stupid last. The jumps game is fine I think.

Will be updating the handicap ratings tomorrow - got stuffed planned tonight.

Will post on here once done.

Should of give me a nudge Jamie I could do it.

Best week I've had since week 2 of last season. A win, 2 2nd's a 3rd,4th and a 5th. Very nearly 3 wins.

On the what's up with the jockeys front I'm having the opposite problem than holding up too far back. The past 2 weeks Tonic has gained an easy lead and then the jockey proceeds to run like I've instructed him with "pacemaker' orders. If the jockey relaxed and started his running with a couple furlongs left Tonic would of placed much closer.

Congrats to all winners but especially to Ghostzapper for winning the Kentucky Derby. One race I want is that one. Win the Preakness Ghost so I can spoil your triple crown bid in the Belmont.

Thanks, there will be no bid for the triple crown even if I was to win the Preakness( average track for him). I did try to find a horse for all three races but I couldn't come up with one. Monashee (she's one of my fav horses of all time) is my Belmont runner.

But Inhisglory loves Santa Anita so the classic will be his aim after the preakness.

Handicap ratings have been updated to latest ahead of week 6.

Good luck for the week ahead.

The English Oaks was the truest run race so far this season. Congrats on your Kentucky Derby. Obviously Im bias but I thought Sky Train was the best horse in the race and would've got there in another few strides. However at least it was truly run, unlike the French classics and English Derby so I cant bemoan too much.

You've got some very nice horses.

There are some horses that are flashy and run fast and there's horses that are just tough and game and he's one of those.
I've never bred from him because he was along way down the pecking order before my trials, I didn't think he would even make my finals. I ran 5 races at churchill downs and he ran 33233. I had two horses that were much better there, but he was the most consistent over all the trial races. Actually Santa Anita is his fav course he won three out of five trial races.

If anyone knows usa racing he's like the Kentucky derby winner mine that bird, not flashy, not well bred, but just got the job done.

Monte Carlo (9th) - Out of her depth in G1 company
Zeltweg (8th) - For a second I though he might cause another big shock but faded badly inside the final furlong. Might try him at 7f now.
Table One (2nd) - That's 4 seconds in a row, always seems to find 1 too good.
Montreal (10th) - Simply not good enough
Night Nurse (17th) - Finished last, wasn't expecting such a bad run
Rouen (10th) - Another who was always going to be up against it

Another excellent run from Table One but would really love to see him win once this season.

Congrats to all the big Ascot winners so far
