The Derby 2018 1 by Jupiterhead My initial thoughts are, Saxon Warrior is rightfully the short-priced favourite. I quite like Hazapour. Anyone astro-playing this race? If it's not astronomically true, it's not astrologically true. Quote Thu May 31, 2018 12:19 pm
2 by GB I posted this earlier in the week under Racing Classics. I still go with these. On Friday we have the Oaks and Saturday the Derby. I am old enough to remember the Derby being mid-week, on Wednesday I think. Progress I suppose. Initial thoughts are: For the Oaks I am looking at Forever Together (VE in Cancer). In the Derby the favourite is Saxon Warrior (odds-on), which I will give a miss. It won the 2000gns. Perhaps Young Rascal might work for UR in Taurus. Quote Thu May 31, 2018 5:56 pm
3 by john There's a lot of noise for me on these races, but I'll say: Oaks - Magic Wand Derby - between Hazapour and Saxon Warrior. C'est la vie, say astrologers, goes to show you never can tell. Quote Thu May 31, 2018 7:31 pm
4 by Jupiterhead The Oaks is a tricky one. Nine, 3 year old fillies who all have had less than 3 runs. Wild Illusion or Give And Take might fit in with Mars in my charts...but, I have no view in this race. I've reached the point now, where I need to balance my racing astrology against actual ratings. Something about...so above, so below. If it's not astronomically true, it's not astrologically true. Quote Thu May 31, 2018 7:36 pm
