1,000 Guineas Watch
I’m not suggesting any bets here, just going to be commenting on media hype and keeping a watching brief. Having said that, I don’t think the 40/s about Long Lashes will be around much longer but
Aug 5th 09 – What a load of old tosh! Kieren Fallon’s column this week in the Weekender suggesting that last Saturday’s Luca Cumani trained runaway Newmarket maiden winner, Seta, is a fair price (@ 10/1) for the first fillies classic!
Rubbish! I tell you.
Since when did Mr Cumani start knocking out Guineas winners? He (Fallon) says himself after pulling up from a gallop on her before that race, he thought, ‘Flilies’ Mile! I reckon he’s got the wrong race and should be more concerned about the Oaks but what did it beat? Nothing much and achieved as much in the process.
I have more respect for the rag’s guest tipster columnist who puts up Misheer for the Guineas as one of his two ante-post Eyecatchers and so far maybe Brian Meehan’s pair, Lady Of The Desert and Conniption but if there is one stand out bet right now – Long Lashes, recently purchased by Godolphin and entered up for Newmarket this weekend.
