Omar's Selection for the 2000 Guineas today

Regrettably I onloy have time this glorious Saturday morning to post a very short diary note based entirely on my selection for the 2000 Guineas for three year old colts run over a straight mile at Newmarket later today.

There are thirteen runners hoping to fulfill the dreams of their connections and start to blaze a trail to turf glory this afternoon.  There are two runners from the Balydoyle stables in Ireland who claimed this race last year for the seventh time.  This year they have the short priced favourite, Air Force Blue, quoted at 8/11 last night.  They also have Air Vice Marshall quoted at 40/1.  On form, price and rumour I cannot help think that Air Force Blue will live up to his reputation.  My second choice would be the second favourite Stormy Antarctic who was 6/1 last night.  This chap is the only one of the thirteen runners to have had an outing since this season began earlier this month and he won as well.

After my disaster with the Grand National that Man Servant decribed as 'Omargeddon', which I thought was most unkind, I am putting one kibble to win on Air Force Blue and Stormy Antarctic with the Chav.

Good luck everyone and don't forget, it is the 1000 Guineas for fillies tomorrow.
