Right, I'm just after coming off the phone to my contact in the desert and he informs me that the Japanese are expecting big things of their filly in the 6.15 Nad Al Sheba (UAE 1000 Guineas). She has been working very well out there and they like her a lot. Currently 16/1 with Paddypower but 20/1 if you look around.

i couldnt work out which one you were talking about, couldnt find a decent card, was tempted to actually back the one that won, i thought it looked the best of the ones around that price. Chickened out in case i got the wrong one. Cant believe you backed a 20-1 straight. Crazy.

Ha! Backing each way is not really something I am too fond of. If I do, then I am kind of saying I don't think the horse will win. Sorry I forgot to post the name but Japanese runners out there are rare, outside of the big night in March. That was the only Japanese runner in the race. How on earth she went off 20/1 is one of the world's great mysteries but the wide draw and the fact she had to do it tough the whole way cost her dear in the end. The winner was Saudi Arabian for the once brilliant Michael Kinane.

The Sheikh informs me that they (might) have another nice one next Thursday.

Loyal2TheRoyal Cheltenham Gold Cup Thoughts: As was predicted by yours truly, yesterday, Denman got beat and Kauto Star Cheltenham chances increased considerably. But who do we reckon will win the big race, now? Well Denman's price of 4/1 looks quite large now. I have expressed doubts in the past that last year's Gold Cup was the best Denman will ever run and today's race did little to alay my fears. However, while the most positive thing Paul Nicholls could say after the race today was "satisfactory", all is not lost. Kauto Star beat Albertus Run 7L at Christmas and Denman beat that rival by more than three times that figure today. Albeit on ground that would not have suited Jonjo's horse. And if Madison Du Berlais had not run today, Denman would be somewhere in the region of 1/2 now so it may be the case that horse is a lot better than was first believed. I still think Denman is far from a spent force, conditions were completely against him today and back at Prestbury Park in March, he will be seen in a much better light. But at the same time it was disappointing from Denman and regardless of his price I would still be slightly keen to oppose and likewise Kauto Star.

I would say a very good idea but a few of the traditionalists might not like it. But we do have threads on everything else and I'm sure the likes of yourself, TC, Dellboy and Samin10 along with a few others including me would like it and have plenty of worthy contributions. So I say yeah, go aheah.
