    • What is happening to the prices. Lots of horses opening way over true value. Some horses getting out to 501 on the fixed then back in to 51 a few minutes later. Might be some desperation at the TAB on the way the markets are opening and then fluctuating that wildly. Bookmakers on TV talking about 70K losses on one race 50K on another, not sure whether I believe them that it is actually true or not. Was at the TAB the other night and my mate tried to put 10EW on a horse paying 301 and it said waiting approval and the race jumped before it let the bet on so not sure you can actually get any bets on at those big prices.
    • What Glorious Goodwood 2025 – Day 5 Where Goodwood Racecourse – Selhurstpark Rd, Chichester PO18 0PS, United Kingdom When Saturday, August 2, 2025 First Race 1:20pm BST (10:20pm AEST) Visit Dabble The 2025 Goodwood festival comes to a close this Saturday afternoon, with a competitive seven-race program lined up for Day 5. The fillies & mares headline the action stepping out in the Group 2 Lillie Langtry Stakes (2816m), and despite some improving conditions forecast leading into the weekend, punters can expect the track to be rated in the Soft to Heavy range after a significant downpour on Thursday. The conclusion of Glorious Goodwood will commence at 1:20pm local time. Lillie Langtry Stakes Tip: Terms Of Endearment Terms Of Endearment was simply outclassed taking on the boys in the Listed Marathon at Sandown on July 4 and seemingly felt the pinch at the backend of 3264m after leading throughout. She appears better suited facing the girls, with her runner-up performance in the Bronte Cup Fillies’ Stakes (2787m) reading exceptionally well for this, and with Terms Of Endearment taking out this event 12 months ago in a similar vein of form, there is no reason why she can’t reproduce a similar performance to claimback-to-back editions of the Lillie Langtry Stakes. Lillie Langtry Stakes Race 3 – #7 Terms Of Endearment (1) 6yo Mare | T: William Haggas | J: Tom Marquand (61kg) Best Bet at Goodwood: Al Assy Al Assy appears to be one of the best bets of the entire carnival as he lines up in Group 3 Glorious Stakes (2412m). The son of Sea The Stars comes through a strong edition of the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes (2406m) at Ascot on June 21 last time out, and although he was no match for the likes of Rebel’s Romance and Al Riffa, he closed off well enough to suggest he’s nearing another success. He knocked off key rival Arabian Crown by 5.5 lengths three starts ago, and with every chance to replicate that effort on rain-affected ground, Al Assy should have no issue justifying the $2.80 with horse racing bookmakers. Best Bet Race 1 – #1 Al Assy (6) 8yo Gelding | T: William Haggas | J: Jim Crowley (60kg) Best Value at Goodwood: Wonder Legend You only need to forgive one run to justify the chances of Wonder Legend in the Summer Handicap (2816m). The James Ferguson-trained gelding was pulled out of the contest in the Group 1 Ascot Gold Cup (4014m) when approaching the home turn, with Daniel Muscutt being kind to the returning five-year-old. He recorded three wins from his last four starts prior to that failure, including a 4.5-length demolition of his rivals at Newcastle on April 18. Stepping back in trip and drawing gate one only enhance his chances, so the $13 with appears a fair price to see if Wonder Legend can bounce back here.
