Especially looking for ones that differ from the obvious (which are still welcome) - the obvious being - ANY, Breeders Cup, Melbourne Cup, Arc, classics etc, what would be peoples choice. With SO3 here soon, looking for Jumps as well as flat. Myself I would love to win Cambridgshire or Cesarewitch as both races mean jumps are here, or Supreme Novices hurdle over Jumps as you get the roar of anticipation at start of race and if you had a horse like that in SO3 you would have something great to be going on with to bigger and better things. For the same reason I always love winning the Racing Post trophy in SO2. Ouija Board was one of my favourite horses in real life so would love to go close in the Nassau after her epic battle with Alexander Goldrun a few years back.

Won everything else in the iron ranks except that. Melbourne Cup is another as its the big hometown race. Dubai World Cup and UAE Derby are two races which have painfully eluded me as well despite having the favorite the last two seasons.

Had the pre-race fav in Hellen Wheels in Season 5 ?? who was a top horse ... and he went to the front from the start which as we all know is the Kiss of Death. NZ has a connection with the Arc with a NZ horse Balmerino running second back around 1979 or 1980. Right now ... would be happy to take any dodgy group race!

Have had a few likley types but always been one or two better. Not holding out much hope for this season either unless something comes along soonish..

I do basically all my trials at Newmarket and I think my 10F horses are very strong and have got a couple of others to bring in who look better but only one or two trials done with them so far but their trials have been on the Course & Distance (Good Ground Please!) and they have been great. Breeders Cup is a meeting I like. Was gutted to remeber the Mile is on turf and not dirt as I have a horse who is immense on Dirt so will have to see if I can find anything for that one but The Distaff will be a target with my Fillies also.

The Prix du Cadran would be next on the list followed by the SOPRO and Loveday iron races. The Doncaster Cup is up there as well but the main one was the Gold Cup.
