I stuck with it again. Holding up made all the difference, very classy effort, especially with the right man back on top again.

Aye, won every time apart from with Jimmy Mis-Fortune in the saddle.

Well dont to those who had Redford...good call!

Absolutely pig sick about Temple Meads today...a horse I've kept a real close eye on this season and backed it big the last two times...Although questioning Fortune last time I had accepted that I thought it blatantly didn't stay the 6f and thought it would just turn out to be a top class 5f specialist.

Just goes to show we were right on here last time to criticise Fortune because he failed to settle the horse and got it to the front very early and it badly ran out of steam having looked all over the winner. I haven't seen the race today but by all accounts it was pulling a bit hard again early on but Richie Mullen has managed to settle it in behind and according to the race report come through making 'smooth headway' and ran on strongly to win well.

Why can a jockey with the experience of Fortune fail to be able to settle a horse and end up riding a hold up horse from the front? It beggars belief and I will never, ever back one of his mounts again... Richie Mullen on the other hand I think is a bit under-estimated and have no problems backing him....

Rant over!

I'm keeping an eye on Curely's Elusive Hawk. Short priced this morning to 2nd last in the race. Must have given the jockey a nod to pull it.

Managed to get out of jail by doing Over 43.5 pts (5/6) with Stan James at HT.

That was a good old plot by Dandy on Redford today.

Saved my day.

Wouldn't of backed it but someone told me to watch Frankies last ride on it and see what he did when Redford hit the front...naff all

Good stuff with Redford Wire_85.

Well worth taking a look at one of my favourite horses (Secret Asset) run behind Astrophysical Super Powered Jet in the 5f Group 3 at Newbury - was badly hampered at the start and was travelling best of all to a furlong out, before the jockey (not the usual claiming jockey) let him coast home in his own time. He'd been in the Ayr Gold Cup until recently and has been knocking on the door in the big handicaps (as well as finishing 3rd over 6f at Newbury).

There's two 6f Group races coming up at Ascot in the next 3 weeks - the Diadem Stakes next weekend, a Group 2 event and the Bengough Memorial in October which is a Group 3. I'd be very interested in backing him in either of those races at the likely 40/1++
