Yes they will be hard to beat. It will be much stronger race than today but anything can happen in racing.

I've had a sneaky bet on Cluster in the Guineas as well. I'm not sure why I did it, but I did. Maybe it's because you were a fan of his earlier.

My younger brother has always liked the horses. Never has a bet but just loves the races and the breeding and bloodlines. Long story short, he starts going to watch early morning trackwork and strikes up a "friendship" with Guy Walter. So Walter apparently says "you remind me of me when I was first starting out" and offers him a job. So at 35 he is looking at a career change, starting at the absolute bottom and is on cloud 9 about it with this dude willing to mentor him.

The best part of that feel good story is that I can add "At least 35 years old" under Eels 81236 in my crib notes on anonymous forum members.

Just finished the Walking Dead season three last night, tonight it's Breaking Bad finished forever. Tomorrow we'll give Sons of Anarchy a crack, despite my aversion to merkins with beards, motorcycles and domestic violence.

Fantastic. I have spent many years in corporate jobs but often dream of getting out of the rat race and becoming a beer brewer.

Unfortunately I don't have the kahunas and find it easier to do something I am familiar with. I have a lot of respect for people who consciously put themselves out of their comfort zone and try something new. I wish him all the best.

When I was first at uni in the late 80s I became a beer brewer, selling longnecks for 70c each on 100% markup. Went well for about 3 months until bottles started exploding, and then it was made clear that the licensing squad would be called if I didn't 'cease and desist'.

I have tried a few times at home but generally my stouts taste like soy sauce and my pale ales taste like vinegar.
