I hadn't clocked this at all but the guy on the radio just said Delap's first was with his right foot & the second was with his left. Totally stunned me, particularly considering the power of both.

Oliver Glasner says in all of the hundreds of matches he鈥檚 played and managed, he鈥檚 never heard a more inspiring address than the one captain Ryan Yates gave to the @NFFC players just before they went out today.
Fabulous entertainment today. 16-1 winner at Aintree followed by a Forest masterclass against Man City & then Teenage Fanclub in Manchester. Very happy days!
Tough day's punting but a few bets to be had.

Wow! How amazingly consistent & straightforward is Sun Goddess. What an phenomenal filly & what a fabulous training performance too.
It's not generally a happy hunting ground for me at the Breeders Cup but I enoy the challenge nonetheless. 2 punts on the turi tonight.
6.55 Force Noir
9.35 Agate (ew)
Well that was absolutely terrible!! Slowly away, always behind, never interested, found nothing! I always get Al Aasy wrong! 馃槀
Hopefully, my Breeders Cup selections fare better!
Al Aasy looks a big price at 17/2. He has been in sparkling form in last 2 races and if retaining his form he's sure to go very close. Obviously age & giving weight away are not advantages but at the prices he looks worth a small wager.
Wow! What an unbelievable horse Queenstown is. So game & so tough. Incredible training from O'Brien, brilliant ride from Moore & amazing tenacity & resilience from the horse. So impressive.
2 decent group races coming up at Saint Cloud & San Siro.
Jabracadabra for me in the staying race as an improving horse. The Italian Group 2 is a cracking race, I'm going Chestnut Rocket who ran in the Arc 3 weeks ago but is now at the right level with the right ground.
Ah what a fabulous race & wonderful finish. Brilliant that these veteran races enable us to see such favourites being competitive. Such a thrill to see them still enjoying the game & giving their all. Triple Trade takes the win but plaudits to all.
Very frustrating that @oddschecker has @WillHillRacing prices for both group races at San Siro but the races & prices are nowhere to he found on WH website.
Chancing Gymbaazy in the next at Saint Cloud, looks an improver who will handle the ground & this looks very open.
