*1:30 EBIAYN - win @ 4.8 Betfair*
I rated the maiden at 1:30 for one reason. The 'Postie' has put me on to
one here. He has a very good line in with the Michael Jarvis yard, to
the point where he can become a bit blinkered I reckon so we will have
to get those taken off and try him with the cheekpieces instead ;-)
Anyway, probably best if I just quote his messenger post to me yesterday
afternoon.
/"Listen m8.last month i saw one of Micky's on racecourse side tearing
it up over a mile and the beast in question is EBAIYN.He is a really
good looking sort ,strong <snip sexist remark> and went well with
alezayeb(?) and some other inpronouncable.bit of give wouldnt go amiss
and think his breeding backs that up.he probably wants another few
furlongs idealy but he will go well and if there is any more rain get on
it.Problem is jonny g has one in there that was pulled out of newmarket
the other day cos of the ground and word is its a bit special so you
might want to cover it with that."/
Yes, he has a unique style all of his own and does struggle a bit with
the Arab names sometimes as you can tell, doesn't help being a dyslexic
cockney ;-) I have had to put more than one spelling of numerous horses
into the RP site on more than one occasion. You should hear him on the
phone though, it's like listening to Mike Reid (RIP).
I had to call him afterwards to see how 'strong' he was on it and he
basically said it would run a big race especially after all the rain but
he is worried about the Gosden runner Reportage as that has been doing
some good 'stuff' by all accounts although he hadn't personally seen it.
I asked him about the other 3 that I had shortlisted on what I have
dubbed the 'Sheikh' system, notably Almutawaazin, December and Dreamcoat
and he didn't seem to know too much about those ones but did say there
had been a bit of buzz about the Meehan runner but that is now a
non-runner so he is even more confident.
I went on to ask him if he wanted to wait to put up one he was more sure
about it and his quote was "Nah, stick it up mate and keep doing a
raindance ;-)".
So there you have it, he is a good,honest bloke and a sound judge but
the race looks trappy to me. It will be interesting to see if there is
any money about for any of Ebiayn or Reportage and if they are all
fighting it out at the business end but I have had a bet at 4/1 after
the withdrawal of the favourite and you can get 4.8 on Betfair but I
don't think it will last long.
He said he would donate my stake back on the site if it lost...I tried
to wind him up and told him I was having 2k on it and his response was
"Why don't you have a proper bet ?"...I think he ended up winding me up ;-)
