    The way Synchronised stays you'd have to(as a failed gambler) fancy him to run well.

    But my money is on Killyglen(Tom Lee gave it a great write up), and Nina and Katie.

    Nothing like dismissing all known 100 year old trends

    not really.

    Experienced horse but unlikely to threaten, imo.

    Better chance than Synchronised though :D

    My 3 year old picked Neptune collangues because yellow is his favourite colour and he liked the red star. 2 euro EW so happy. Having said that between the family we bet on about 8 horses, but up thanks to the boy. I bought him a chocolate lolly so he seems happy and oblivious to the fact Ive ripped him off. Ill be bringing him to the Galway races with me and Ill post all his tips. The Irishkop syndicate could have done with him;)

    Devastated to hear about synchronised. I hope him running off at start was not a contributing factor:(
