Rob J kept the flag flying yesterday with a 9/4 nap. Remarkable consistency from Rob, and long may it continue. I’ll enter it on the July Winners thread, but if in future winners could do that themselves it would be much appreciated.
The blog’s nap was a non runner yesterday.
That’s the update; now over to Dirty Northerner for today’s blog and nap.
Good morning all. I wanted to refresh the discussion on the potential Talking Horses syndicate and I am suggesting the potential costs that could be incurred. Please consider the below and respond on the Syndicate thread.
Today’s nap is Captain Tom Cat Market Rasen at 2.40, backed at 9/2.
Syndicate – So if we take a £12k purchase as a starting point:-
10% share £1200
5% share £ 600
2.5 share £ 300
Training @ €2000
10% share £170
5% share £ 85
2.5 share £ 43
Then registration, vet, entry fees are split accordingly.
The costs are based on a decent trainer in France. Some vet costs may be included in the monthly fees.
This is a guide for now and to further the discussion.
All the best

The 13.45 Dingle Whiskey Nursery at The Curragh contains my nap.
I had forgotten 2 yos run in H’Caps this soon.
I hope Auldchiel isn’t reading this as he knows his single malts from his double malts but I like Dingle Whiskey.
The creator Oliver died prematurely just before the 3 year grain could be called a Whiskey which seems cruel but he had already left a mighty legacy.
I know Dingle Whiskey does not taste nice when mixed with Cherry Blossom or Pepsiwithacap but is best taken as a Swift One first thing in the morning as an eye opener.
Swift One trained by JOB in the 13.45 at The Curragh is my nap.

Afternoon EGS
I don’t mind the occasional Irish Whiskey but today I’ll stick with our local Glengoyne. But I can’t imagine any whisky tasting decentbif mixed with shoe polish.
Just back from an early round of golf so no interest today other than noting that Das Horrigle would have been my 1/5 nap today after flagging it up a couple of weeks ago. I’ve decided I’m taking no chances in future. But getvyour money in for Cheltenham now.

My nap was going to be 1.50 Majestic Dawn EW but a non-runner, 2nd choice of Camprond has already been picked by Rob J, so doesn’t count but in good company!
I’ve done a Yankee of Camprond, Real World, Zeeband and Tabdeed (all napped already I think)
Now I’m looking for a couple at bigger prices for EW combo. Good luck all.

EGS, not sure if anyone has ever accused me of having a great mind, but it appears that the Florida sectionals are quicker than the Irish ones, and gave me a victory in the Bad Jokes Stakes by a short head.

I had not wanted to have a bet on the upcoming Irish Oaks but have conceded. I have had 2 losing bets on La Joconde and she owes me. We all know how that story pans out.
10/3 to be placed. I will be watching it on my phone in the quiet carriage and have kept reminding myself she has a Jockey wearing an orange hat.
There is nothing worse than thinking you have a return when you have been tracking the right silks but wrong hat through a Race. Easy mistake with Ballydoyle
I know Willow is running in the same silks but is not wearing an orange hat.

Count me in for 2.5% as well as it would be foolish to miss out on a future Arc Winner.
I never went to see the Film ‘Dream Horse’ as I thought it would be too cliched and predictable.
i think the film rights should only be sold to a Production Company who will hire someone like Yorgos Lanthimos to direct.
