Title: Goodwood Festival
Post by: noble1 on July 27, 2010, 02:22:30 AM
2:10 - Submariner 2:45 - Arctic Cosmos 3:25 - Red Jazz [i liked Dalghars run in the Prix Du Palais-Royal, but his lack of never running on GtoF going leaves me guessing] 4:00 - Scarlet Rocks ew [worth a punt , exposed but under-rated imho , far to big of a price] 4:35 - Kay Gee Be [others on short list were - Start Right-value gone? and My Kingdom- Morrison bandit? hard to assess but looks as if the bookies odds compilers have not took any chances with him :( ] 5:05 - Welsh Dancer [i"m keeping an eye on Pabusar as well] 5:40 - Perfect Shot [just a gut feeling that after Newmarket there"s more to come after tackling 2m2f at Ascot behind Junior]
meh some competitive stuff to sort out so gl gl gl in finding winners today apat"ers

Got a good run for my money with most of those picks, slow start, but final four races saw all the picks in the top 4.
Tomorrow"s another day, and I"ll get you some photos posted. ;D It was a bit overcast at times today, forecast for tomorrow is improving. That"s the weather and the tipping. ;)

2:10 - JoBurg - Never got into the race, usually comes from behind, but looked outpaced, it was a step up 2:45 - Film Score - Quite upsetting to watch, especially on the flat. Looked tired prior to falling. 3:25 - Red Jazz - Looked okay at 3 out, but not enough to catch the leaders 4:00 - Zebedee - 2/1f, got 3.4 on Betfair last night, gotta have one a day that you are riding along to the finish. Watched it from the rails. Go on Hughsie !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4:35 - Truism - Didn"t seem to quicken when it mattered, another nice price on Betfair though, had 8.2, went off at 5/1 5:05 - Golden Hinde - Hmmmm, heavily backed on the course into 9/4f, I"d backed at 5.5 last night, but again outpaced when it mattered 5:40 - Jedi - The force is strong with this one, but you always get a Martyr to ruin the plan. ;D Comfortably beaten into 2nd, oh well.

2010-07-28 GOODWOOD 2:10 - Ambrose Princess ew 2:45 - Crown Prosecutor http://horses.sportinglife.com/Video/Racing/0,27770,379341,00.html nice turn of pace over 6f so the extra furlong is no problem , King Torus has his work cut out with this fellow , he looks smart. Harry Findlay"s horse is running in the Sangster colours whilst he serves out his ban but no doubt he"ll have a few quid on to win :) lol ... http://horses.sportinglife.com/Video/Racing/0,27770,373482,00.html nice 1st time out run at Goodwood , Sonning Rose went onto win next time easily then with a fine 2nd in the chesham stakes with King Torus back in 4th so Meehan has a line of form to go by and CP showed definite improvement next time out... 3.25 - Beethoven ew - i"ll take a punt with this one Leigh , he won the Dewhurst nicely , 1st time out as a 3yo he only finished 4 lengths behind Canford Cliffs so he can only improve lol , Aidan o B won the Sussex Stakes with the Rock of Gibralter after he had won the Dewhurst , if Ryan Moore was aboard woohoo , has his son riding Beethoven with O"Donoghue on the pace horse?? worth a tickle just in case , although Aidan o B isn"t known for big price winners at Goodwood theres always a 1st time ;D http://horses.sportinglife.com/Video/Racing/0,27770,335464,00.html out of stall 3 alongside Steinbeck till 3 out gets squeezed , drops in till 2 out and then Moore switches out and finds a bit of horse under him lol... 4.00 - Verdant 4.35 - Echo Ridge [another Beckett 2yo hot pot? bred from the family of Lochsong, i luvvved that filly back in the good old days when Ian Balding trained] 5.10 - Agony And Ecstasy 5:45 - Manassas
glgl Leigh with your punting.........
edit - Echo Ridge has been pulled out of the 4.35 so i"ve backed Qenaa at 8"s

It very much is punting. I like to think I have a bit of skill with it, but the reality is probably very different.
I"ve been going to Glorious week for about 6 years, and have made a profit each year. I pick one horse to win per race, and it"s become a bit of a challenge to keep the lucky steak going.
It"s the only race meeting that I really spend time going through form and stats.

Race-goers at Goodwood will find it hard not to notice the inspiring monumental equestrian sculpture in bronze that forms the centrepiece of Glorious Goodwood.
Sculptor, Nic Fiddian-Green, best known for the "Horse at Water" currentyl at Marble Arch, has created the work especially for this season"s major flat race meeting.
From his workshop near Godalming in rural Surrey, Fiddian-Green creates his epic works of art from clay. He oversees the casting into bronze using the ancient "lost wax" technique, a process that has facinated him through his carer. The alchemy of molten bronze pouring into his moulds at 1200oc has been a process that he needs to be a part of in the creation of his work. He always patinas (colours) his work himself, a process that other sculptors never do; his work is noticeably unique in its final finish as a result.
Fiddian-Green has been working on a large scale for some time now, but has not always focussed on colossal sculpture. His many global exhibitions have taken him from London to New York, Paris, Dublin, Dubai, Melbourne and Sydney where Russell Crowe first saw and started collecting his work. His high profile fans are too numerous to mention and include Tom Cruise and Sir Anthony and Lady Bamford, the latter of whom will install one of Fiddian-Green"s sculptures imminently at their Daylseford estate in Gloucestershire.
Speaking about his work, Fiddian-Green comments, "My primary aim is to place beautiful works of art in landscape and I can thing of nowhere more powerful for my Greek horses head - Artemis than on the ancient site of the trundle at Goodwood overlooking the steeple of CHichester Cathedral to the sea and across to the Isle of Wight..."

1st time i have had a look this week, looks a tricky day so only one maximum bet for me
Tactic in the 15.25, has improved massively for the step up in trip plus 2 miles will only assist more. AOB"s horses still not running well, should get around 4-1 on betfair tommorow morning.
Good luck all!

Thanks for the pics Leigh , the singers look interesting :) Today Thursday looks tough again , the going looks a bit softer than good to me especially in the last 2 furlongs on the far side , so it will fascinating to see if the stand side is the better side in the sprints..You got some good picks today Leigh they ""should"" run well :)
2010-07-29 GOODWOOD 2:10 - Beachfire 2:45 - Amour Propre & Spin Cycle 3:25 - the main event wowser at first i thought ""easy peezy Age of Aquarius"" but there are dangers - Tactic [ran well at the Curragh beating a very nice horse, Dermot Welds Profound Beauty , cross your fingers Redders] Illustrious Blue has a great record at Goodwood , Purple Moon showed the form at Ascot that gained him a 2nd in the Melbourne Cup so todays trip suits... Wajir if he shows his french form could do ok , but i"m having a speculative punt on Free Agent each way... 4:00 - Ship"s Biscuit 4.35 - Smart Step ew 5.10 - Rakaan & Glen Shiel 5:45 - Medici Time & Osiris Way
glgl all [bra on head for last race if no winners upto then ::)]

Post by: stone on July 29, 2010, 15:09:17 PM
What to have a go at in the 15:25, Im thinking TBP on Betfair for Purple Moon or Illustrious Blue? I think will have to go for Fallon"s ride!

Post by: noble1 on July 29, 2010, 16:01:11 PM
Illustrious Blue on the way to post. Would it have won if Age of Aquarius hadn"t pulled up ?
Title: Re: Goodwood Festival
Post by: noble1 on July 29, 2010, 20:08:02 PM
meh tight would be my call but Age of Aquarius by a squeak.. Good races today , i still can"t make out the ground as one race the good ground horses do ok then there is a race with the good to firmers all up there lol lol.. The center of the track seems the place to be, maybe we"ll get a few more clues for the Stewards Cuo tomorrow after the Stewards sprint.. Beachfire traded at 18 in running which i snapped up and the other i did/tried in running Rakaan never traded beyond his starting price lol ... [pipped by Leigh's selection Citrus Star by a short nose lol]

2010-07-30 GOODWOOD 2:10 - Cavalryman NR - Golden Sword ew 2:45 - Red Cape & Averoo 3:25 - Spectait ew & Ransom Note - in the last 10 years, 8 winners have been drawn in the top 4 stalls , once Persiano won from 18 of 22 and then last year stall 8 came home first? They tried to say it was a quick early pace but they always go off quick lol plus the time was nothing out of the ordinary.. I"ve gone for two drawn low but both are hold up types, i cant see anything obvious drawn high that has the class to win , Sea Lord draw 16 may well be the one , i hope u got a headache trying to sort this one out Leigh lol lol http://horses.sportinglife.com/Video/Racing/0,27770,319707_3,00.html out of interest the 4 high draws are - Aspectus [22] Webbow [21] Al Muheer [20] Oasis Dancer [19]
thats enough form study for me :)

Going to Doncaster tomorrow, so if you have any tips let me know so I know which horses not to back :D
Title: Re: Goodwood Festival
Post by: bigredders on July 30, 2010, 12:32:01 PM
Here"s my picks for today
2.10 Sri Putra 2.45 Pastoral Player ( going to look a big price if he doesn"t blow the start ) 3.25 Sea Lord 4.00 Satin Love 4.35 Major Conquest 5.15 Tabassum EW 5.45 Kingsgate Choice ( got a big wedge on this, they are convinced it is a group race performer, was lame last time Winston gets on well with the horse and no jar in the ground, just needs luck in running!)
Good luck all
