Looking ahead to Friday and the final day of the Dante meeting at York where the ground has eased to Good after more rain. The feature will be the Group 2 Yorkshire Cup over 2800m. TOWER OF LONDON won the hugely valuable handicap at the Saudi Cup meeting and followed up in the Dubai Gold Cup on World Cup Night. Last year, he was fourth in the Leger and while you can see he's improved through the winter, he's far from bomb proof. VAUBAN needs little introduction to this forum - he was last seen when finishing midfield as favourite in the Melbourne Cup. For me, he's got a lot to find in this company. HAMISH won well at Newbury but this ground will be quick enough for him. GIAVELLOTTO won this last year but finished behind TOWER OF LONDO in both the Middle Eastern races but his course and distance form (he was third in the Lonsdale) stands him in good stead. GREGORY won the Queen's Vase at Ascot last June and was fancied for the Leger but he was twice behind CONTINUOUS in both the Voltigeur and the Leger itself but he's closely matched with TOWER OF LONDON on Doncaster form. Marginal preference is for GIAVELLOTTO.  Meanwhile, top stayer KYPRIOS who looked very good at Naas last month in Listec company, is set to run in the Levmoss at Leopardstown on his way, you'd think, to the Gold Cup where he is 5/4 to regain the title he won in 2022 and couldn't contest last year due to injury.

Is that Joan in her prime in 4-5 years?

With plans for a new track in place, Maryland racing leaders can turn their attention to crafting a stakes schedule fit for the new venue.View the full article

If the owners wanted it pronounced that way, they should have spelled it Penny Lope Hall. Just makes the commentator sound like a dick! I guess we should count ourselves lucky they don't own Insar Chat Wist, or god forbid Fran CoIn Die!  

Correct 

Does seem weird but I assume the owners must have told the powers that be that is how they want it pronounced.

Good God, Joan has just invested in a yearling trotter by Tactical Landing and we all know that they can take years. You mention 4-5 years. That's exactly when she will be in her prime so what can she expect? Chaos? Maybe that would be a good name for her!

If you think its that bad now wait 4-5 years. Harness are not in the photo in terms of  governance compared to TB's.JMO

WTF ?? Penelope Hall. Surely the commentator can pronounce that one correctly.

Love that Bonus bets are now a case of not having to put all on one bet. $50 can now be 50 multis if that's what's smokes your tyres. 😆 🤣   

Well it used to be so bloody easy not so long ago, just switched Radio Pacific on and you could here everything racing. No faarking around logging into this or that. One so bloody easy basic access .. with all this technology nobody knows where they are, and this new TAB website is so bloody irritating and they don't give a flying you know what. Bloody Entain. 

Why don't you use Loveracing to watch it, don't need to log in & you can adjust to any size you want, including full screen.

Good run. Next time at greatly reduced odds. 

Week 4 meetings to choose from: Te Rapa Trentham Scone Flemington Doomben   Posting deadline this week is 12.00pm (midday)   Posting format - please post Meeting/Race #/Name.    No need to post the horse's number - names are what I use in my scoring sheet and will also make it interesting for people to peruse the selections of others.  Example of helpful posting format: Trentham - Race 6:  Horse name Doomben - Race 7:  Horse name   and don't forget you have the option to use two Jokers over the 10 week period, but not both in the same week.  Jokers apply to a single selection.   To play your Joker just add "Joker" next to the relevant selection.  

Which isn’t going to happen given horse numbers and field sizes.

I agree. . I am going to send a  mare to him this year. I don't think he'll stay at 30k for long  

Clearly the stakes being paid now are the result of the Entain guarantee, they are unsustainable after the guarantee ends unless there is a substantial increase in Harness betting.

Well he was never going to win anything at Spurs was he ?….
