I don't think I've ever in my entire life backed the winner of one of the classics the year before, not that I had that many attempts.

Is it really worth tying up your money for so long, even if you thought it had a 4's chance - surely daily trading/betting would be a better investment?

I am not really a big Anti Post player but what is great about it, it allows you to keep adding stake to a bet. With money tied up in other things they can be good.

I pointed it out as i think it will be the biggest name of the 2019 flat season.

I don't follow form these days, but wouldn't he need to win quite convincingly at 4/6 to significantly shorten for the Gunieas?

Yes and I am anticipating a 4 length win.

I don’t bet odds on but I do believe he’s a 1/2 shot so a small amount left in his price.

Not sure he will get the Guineas mile , even his trainer has his doubts ..

“He’s a very fast horse - a lot of speed,” said O’Brien. “He won’t get much further than a mile - if he gets a mile.”

Both him and Jash look more like sprinters and could see either of them winning the Commonwealth Cup at Ascot rather than the Guineas. Bookies seem to agree as he’s between 3/1 and 5/1 for that race next season

Time will tell but wouldn’t want to back either for the Guineas

He should run in the Dewhursr against Too Darn Hot in a few weeks over 7f... we will know more than.

I think he’ll get the mile. If he beats too darn hot he be 2-1 or less for the Guineas.

It's amazing the number of horses that ran in the Guineas, and whether they stayed or not, turned out to be better sprinters. Marwell, Moorestyle, Stravinsky to name a few. The Guineas certainly lures owners and trainers into taking their chances but with the newish Commonwealth Cup and supporting group sprints for 3-y-os you would think there'd be less incentive.

Ajdal topped all of them in 1987, ran in 2000 guineas and then the Derby before becoming champion sprinter.

I started work a few years earlier and stopped following racing until 1997.

Funnily enough, I can remember 1981 (Shergar, Glint Of Gold, To-Agori-Mou, King's Lake, Ardross, Sharpo) better than I can remember last year. It's the older memories that get engraved onto your brain.

Yes. I have the best for quite some time too

The first two were 3.5vlengths ahead of the rest over 6 furlongs is a big margin.

He isnt entered in the derby so far so i assume hes a speed horse possibly heading for the st james palace after the 2000 guineas ... i got 8/1 for the 2000 guineas though i only put £10 on ... the rowley mile will be a test but hopefully he'll improve by then :)
