May 25, 2008
Carribean Sunset and Tuscan Evening are both running in the BOYLESPORTS IRISH 1,000 GUINEAS today at Curragh, the race kicks of at 3:35. Carribean Sunset has some nice form coming 1st in here last two races and has previously won at the racing distance before. Carribean Sunset is currently a big 11/1 to back and 12/1 to lay on the betfair exchange.
Tuscan Evening a 3-year-old filly has shown past form for an Each Way bet, coming 2nd and 3rd most races. Coming in at a massive 230/1 on the betfair exchange its worth a bet.
Two for Goodwood this afternoon.

Southwell 4.20
May 13, 2008
Whilst paddock-watching at Windsor last Monday I was taken with the appearance of PAPUAN PRINCE. He was making his seasonal debut after having only the one run as a 2-y-o at Newbury last August, that Newbury run wasn’t totally without promise, he made some late progress. He was available on some boards @ 28/1 at Windsor and was returned at a starting price of 20/1. Slowly away and behind, he made steady headway to have every chance entering the final furlong, I thought that I was onto a winner at one stage, but the run petered-out and he eventually finished sixth, beaten about three lengths.
He drops back a furlong today, which shouldn’t be a problem, but the one unknown is the surface. Fibresand isn’t every horse’s ‘cup of tea’, and he just might not act on it or take a dislike to the ‘kick-back’.
It is obviously up to you whether you get involved but I think I will be having an interest on an each-way basis, he’s about 5/1 on Betfair but the market hasn’t really formed yet.
