BEST of the BETS

First, have yto get this off my chest! Michael Stoute, always dubbed a "genius" and his "typical Stoute projects" when they win a biggie, but odd how the "project" never gets mentioned when the vast legions of his horses are beaten! The small trainers are hauled in front of the stewards for not trying...Stoute gets hailed as a "typical Stoute project for the future"! People are still writing off Roaring Lion because Stoutes didnt get the best of runs!!!! What? Roaring Lion hosed up and would beat Stoutes 9/10. in fact Stoutes horse won the worst King George in living history. A group 2 at best horse beating another group 2 horse at best. would they have beaten Enable?..NO! It drives me mad hearing the "genius" and "typical Stoute project"...simply put half his dont try and he tends to win substandard Gp races...Expert eye being another example. This world beater couldnt beat handicappers but being Stoutes, every excuse under the sun was offered and every defeat forgiven. its got its act together this season,...in lesser pattern races! So lets see at Sandown today...he sends loads and all are very short..."genius" if he wins 3 or 4 or "typical Stoute project" when most get beat? ive met the guy (many moons ago in the owners when my friend had a leg in a Paul Cole horse)..he was arrogant, rude and looked as we were a bit of shite on his shoe. Great seeing his face when his 8/11 shot was turned over by "ours" (thats the royal Our!). Horrible man!

Anyhoo....im watching the 240 today with interest. Brian Meehan has had an awful season with only Bacchus winning anything decent but he genuinely likes Dubai Instict. Its 33/1 which is a reflection of Brians form and awful season. But Murphy is booked and a definite whisper it may run well in to a place. Loks like the Appleby horse is well thought of in Newmarket and of course Stoutes is 5 points shorter than it should be! Just a small interest and yes youve guessed it, lets all watch Stoutes win every race!
