Glorious Goodwood

[my miss storm cat]

Wow I had no idea Blythe Knight was still in training.

I'm a huge JJ fan but those are nice odds on Dream Eater in the Betfair Cup.

Sugar Ray in the Detica Summer Handicap, Aetos in the final...

Come home safe, Balthazaar. He wins one a year and already has for 2009 (at Nad al Sheba. Windsor in 2008, Ascot in 2007, etc ) but a fun horse to follow anyway.

Godolphin has 2 scratches... Asset and Parthenon.

Ghanaati to win, Rip, Forgotten Voice underneath and Paco off the board (and yes I probably am insane).

[brockguy]

some race we are in store for tomorrow. I couldnt back Rip at the prices but on ratings he is clear. Paco Boy is just such a quality colt. If I can get 4-1 on him, Ill be thinking all my Christmas's have come at once..

[my miss storm cat]

Rip might not run...

http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/n...Nightlead.html

Good luck to you, Brock. Ghanaati said to tell you if it's Christmas you want, back her.

(Oh just looked at the odds again... at least Forgotten Voice will pay well for 2nd).

Did Main Aim really hit his head leaving the gate or is that an excuse by some of his backers?

[NoChanceToDance]

Couldn't believe it when I looked at results this morning to see JJ and Main Aim were second last and last. I thought either one of those were certain to win, being Gr1 horses in a Gr2 without a penalty.

[my miss storm cat]

Rip wins, JJ transfered ...

Looks like Rip was a convincing winner of this race. There can be no saying Sea The Stars hasn't beaten much, can there?

[my miss storm cat]

Nice to see Schiaparelli win today... Kingsgate Native too.

Lock of the day for tomorrow is Black Snowflake (who will be at like no odds but a fun race to watch).

Come home safe, Court Masterpiece (I think Lovelace could win that one at pretty decent odds).

Nice field in the 1st race...

Oh wow, Laa Rayb!

Blythe Knight given 'honourable retirement'
By Tom O'Ryan1.45PM 10 AUG 2009

POPULAR northern stalwart Blythe Knight, winner of more than £400,000 in prize money, has run his last race after being granted "honourable retirement" by connections.

» Blythe Knight career
The nine-year-old, trained by John Quinn for Peter Clay's Maxilead Limited company, won back-to-back runnings of the Group 3 Diomed Stakes at Epsom's Derby meeting in 2007-08, and, as well as being a top-notch hurdler, also won the 2006 Lincoln Handicap.

In total, Blythe Knight won ten of his 75 races, including two over hurdles. His final success came at Chester last season in the Listed City Plate Stakes.

"The time is right for him to finish," said Quinn. "His legs are fine, but he's got a few niggles here and there and earlier this season, after he'd pulled a muscle, it took him six weeks to come right, which was a sure sign that age is beginning to catchup with him.

"It's tough for him. He's rated in the mid-90s, so there are no easy options for him, and there's no way in the world that next season, when he's ten-years-old, we would contemplate running him in claiming races.

"He's been too good a horse for that to ever happen. Instead, we've decided he deserves an honourable retirement."
