Dear All
I selected two teams only and submitted these, as usual, less than one hour before entries closed. I always try to select 6 three year old's and 4 older horses (though one isn't this time!). Last year, I finished 8th (only one entry submitted) and might have won had I selected Canford Cliffs. I'm sure those that finished above me have a similar regret so it is what it is!
With 6 Guineas', 3 Derby's and 3 more Oaks' early season, I have picked plenty of classic standard before the substitutions kick in so here we go...
In both selections are: Canford Cliffs (my aforesaid Achilles Heel though I nearly put Athlete's Foot in a moment of madness!): Carlton House: Casamento: Havant: Planteur: Roderic O'Connor: Workforce:
Add to these in selection 1 - Frankel: Goldikova: Misty For Me:
Add to these in selection 2 - Moonlight Cloud: Pathfork: Seville:
With veritable hindsight I should have perhaps chosen Frankel in both but was trying to gain an edge should he have been beaten today. Probably a mistake.
Anyway, good start with two Group 1 winners today - Frankel producing an extraordinary performance on the Rowley Mile and Planteur winning the Prix Ganay at Longchamp.
I will keep you informed throughout the season.
Onwards and upwards.
