Congratulations to Shocking. A more then deserving horse who smashed them when push came to shove. Corey Brown once again shows why he is a champion jockey, getting Shocking in a winning position despite being three wide.

Master O'Reilly was once again sensational and missed out a place yet again. Has his time passed? Roman Emperor was disappointing and died on its run early. The international form was great and shows that you can never doubt the horses from good stables.

Alcopop will be better for the run and will hit the cup hard next year along with Changingoftheguard.

What an amazing day. To start with such a bang really set the day up. Getting all multiples in the first at such big odds was a first, and a real punting highlight for me. I am pleased to say that I had a some on the trifecta, although I regret not having a tickle on the first four!!!

With the favourites going so average in the next few, I thought we could be in for a dirty day. Alas Majestic Music came to the rescue and won the race just at good odds.

Ahdashim and Flying Tessie rounded out a fantastic day on the punt. Hopefully this punting form will see you all stay around and follow this blog :).
