2 wins for me this week. A pretty good week under the circumstances. Quite a few of my chances missed the break or were caught in a hole. Moonlight Red (0) - He was awful. Not sure he liked The Curragh. Land Of Cantabria (5) - Running wide in the straight. She has done well here as this is another horse who doesnt like The Curragh. Home Of Dreams (4) -Very pleased with this run. I am hoping he goes up 4lbs. He was supposed to be my Smiths Cup horse but didnt get in due to a poor run in The Dante leaving his mark at 56. French Term (5) - Pleased with this. Glad he didnt win thinking about it. I don't want him penalised to early. The winner looks a nice horse. Clarence (4) - He loves Sandown so very disappointed. He was given a terrible ride. Hats of to the winner though. Wiggle Fingers (1) - Stall 2. Loves Sandown. My UKRA cert. She did it nicely. She will now go for the Hackwood Stakes at Newbury. Culture Capital (6) - Another Sandown lover. He was penalised for winning a group 3 on debut so was giving a few horse 11lbs. I think he would have won if not penalised. Still ran them very close. Added Moonlight (3) - He didn't stay the extra furlong. Greenwich (2) - Was super confident about this horse. He was boxed in for a furlong and didnt get to kick when he wanted to. The winner looked good though. Looking forward to the rematch. Thanks Red (7) - No excuses. Just not good enough. Saw The Signs (6) - Boxed in for 6 furlongs. Bid For Me (8') - Missed the break. Chance gone. Never got going. Remba (5) - Another that missed the break. Had too much to do. Normans Good Boy (8') - Sods law. He loves Ascot & Randwick but missed the break both times. He hates Newmarket but had the perfect start. Younger Looking (0) - Carrying too much weight. King Of Dixie (5) - Pleased with this run. He doesn't excel at HQ so to finish 5th is a good performance. Culture Man (2) - No complaints. Beaten by a horse that loves Newmarket so cant grumble. Ace Culture (1) - Group one winner rated 66. Love it! - He was very impressive and has been so consistent. Play Around Lucy (3) - Just headed on the line. The winner was very good coming from way back.
Well done all especially Lee, Leon & Jim.

Not the comeback you had imagined.
No I fully expected this and I only entered for a bit of fun. The only horse I wanted to keep an eye on was Angel First Azillion and he came 8th, more importantly though he finished less than a second behind the winner and over the wrong going so that wasn't bad for a horse bred in season 9, it means the stable is coming along nicely even though I'm only on season 12.
