Duke Of Marmalade vs New Approach.... it's on - Page 2

NoChanceToDance · #21 08-18-2008, 12:59 PM

Stubbs will hate the ground. The other day Elsworth said he wouldn't run him on soft ground........ so have no idea what he's playing at.

Not saying New Approach will love the ground, but he is sure to handle it better than most. Price has gone now. Why on earth didn't I back him at 9/2 when I had the chance. Kicking myself.

I like him a lot, but again, heavy ground will be an unknown for him.

There has been a recent weather report telling York to prepare for more heavy rain tonight and tomorrow. If the mett office is correct, chances of racing at York tomorrow is very slim.

I keep thinking about George Washington.....

Sorry if this offends anyone but yeah, I hope they cancel if it's bad.

I know, I know, just being emotional but I do.

I don't think there will be racing tomorrow. Been talking to somewhere who lives close to York, and they have said they have had heavy rain during this evening.

New Approach at 6-4?? very short, but Ill be cheering him on..

just backed Rob Roy to be placed at 8s, after the first 2, it's extremely open!

why didnt that German horse Adlerflug enter on this bottomless ground??

Scurlogue Champ · #28 08-19-2008, 02:48 AM

abandoned...

NoChanceToDance · #29 08-19-2008, 11:32 AM

and tomorrow.

The Juddmonte has been arranged to be run on Friday now, but if weather forecasts are correct (they have been of late) then the chance of any racing at York this week looks in serious doubt.

NoChanceToDance · #30 08-19-2008, 04:57 PM

Inspection tomorrow at noon to see if Thursdays' card can go ahead, I'd say it looks unlikely at this stage.

NoChanceToDance · #31 08-20-2008, 12:36 PM

As you will already know, the whole of York has been abandoned.

The Juddmonte International will now take place at Newmarket

on Saturday, with the Nunthorpe and Yorkshire Oaks taking place at the same track on Friday.

The festure handicap, The Ebor, will be run under a different name at Newbury.

NoChanceToDance · #32 08-21-2008, 03:04 PM

I will get to see the beautiful National Color at Newmarket tomorrow

brockguy · #34 08-22-2008, 01:16 PM

should be a brilliant race tomorrow.. can't wait..

NoChanceToDance · #35 08-22-2008, 01:23 PM

Very strange today, track records being broken left right and centre, but the ground was described as "good", they didn't go a blistering gallopn in the Yorkshire Oaks, but the times said that Lush Lashes shaved off over two seconds?!?!?!

In the 5.15, the judge said that due to a technical fault, no official time could be taken. So I'm wondering if there was a techincal fault throughout the day.

Gutted National Colour got caught in the final furlong, I love that mare. It was great to see her.

brockguy · #36 08-22-2008, 01:53 PM

i had her at 18-1 as well so i was gutted too.. am i mad for thinking that Lush Lashes is the best filly in the world? I think she can do anything, Id love to see her against the boys in say the Irish Champion..

With the fillies being quite weak this year, she might well be the best in the world.

Brock, I saw Kevin Manning in town after racing....... I was tempted to go and have a little chat about Goodwood!
