BEST of the BETS

Well said, gents
Definitely a potential future star. :up:

It will be interesting as well to see if Alexei
can turn out to be more than a good handicapper.
His win at Cheltenham yesterday in the Greatwood
was impressive in very testing conditions.

Keep it going, malcolm :up:

I will certainly post on a Saturday.
That's the day for stronger opinions.

May he rest in peace :pray:

I returned to the US in 1986, having lived in Ireland from 1968.
My recollection of Brian Rouse is limited, however, the notes
we keep in our racing brains, I listed him as a rider who could
make a low weight while having the strength in a close finish
that was the equal of many larger men. Even better than some.
Terrific jockey :up:

Steve Cauthen was riding for Henry Cecil in the race above.
He's an American jockey that I saw little of in the US.
Like Gary Stevens after him, he rode the UK tracks very well.

I was watching racing on ITV when Cauthen had his first mount
in the UK for Robert Sangster. Horse named Marquee Universal
trained by Barry Hills was favourite in a small race at Salisbury.
Cauthen and the horse hacked up....the start of a great partnership.
