Thanks to Cairnzy for covering me over the last couple of days. I had some things pop up, which meant I couldn’t do Tuesday or Wednesday’s racing, but Cairnzy came in last minute to ensure you had a racing thread. With the recent bad form, it was probably good to get a small break away from the world of racing […]

Santorini Star was extremely disappointing in the Listed race at Pontefract. She had been competing in handicaps, so today’s race was a step up. She won her last handicap at Goodwood in good style, but struggled to bridge the gap. I didn’t think the race was that good, but the horses who had competed at the Listed level previously came […]

It was a very long week for me. Royal Ascot wasn’t a happy hunting ground this year. Despite a couple of winners in the final days, it is easily the worst Royal Ascot I’ve ever experienced. There’s no time to feel sorry for myself as we have plenty more flat racing to come this year, including some of the big […]

The final Group 1 for Royal Ascot is the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes. Ascot 3.40 – Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes Group 1 Even though this is the final Group 1 of the week, it definitely looks like the most open Group 1 we’ve had all week. I think you can say the horses towards the head of the […]

Ascot 2.30 (Chesham Stakes Listed Race) Treanmor looks the most likely winner. Despite Appleby’s poor week, the yard rates this €2M colt highly. He won easily on debut after strong market support—suggesting real potential. The Chesham field looks weak; Ballydoyle’s runner doesn’t impress, and Humidity is the each-way value. Thesecretadversary ran well, but the absence of the horse who beat […]

Day 4 followed the pattern of the other days at Royal Ascot. It has been a very tough week for me, but to finally get a winner on the board gave me a little confidence. Ardrestia was a good winner in the final race of the day; it was a shame she drifted out to 10/1, and I stuck her […]

Day 4 of the Lucky 15 bet at Royal Ascot was actually not too bad. Arizona Blaze and Oolong Poobong were both placed, and Ardrestia was a winner, returning a solid profit of +£45 if you were backing it as a 50p EW Lucky 15. Advised as an each-way Lucky 15. Humidity 9/2 (3pl) – Ascot 2.30 (Chesham Stakes Listed […]

The EW treble on Day 4 was horrendous, and I was expecting a lot more. Babouche was far too keen in her race and was eventually tailed off. Falakeyah was also very keen on her race. Jim Crowley decided to ignore that and raced the pacesetters for the other horses, and she went out like a light. Zahrann was green […]

On Day four of Royal Ascot, we have two Group 1 races, but the one I have decided to focus on is the Coronation Stakes. Ascot 4.20 – Coronation Stakes (Group 1) (Fillies) Over the years, we have seen some top-quality fillies come to the Coronation Stakes and win and then go on to bigger and better things. The roll […]

Ascot 2.30 – Albany Stakes (Group 3) I’m very confident in Signora—she has the pedigree (by Frankel, out of Heartache), strong form behind Lady Iman, and a promising debut in a Group 3 despite not being Moore’s pick. She stayed on well under a quiet ride and looks set to improve. Aidan followed a similar path with Fairy Godmother last […]

If you’re very much into backing shorter-priced horses, Royal Ascot has been for you this year. There have been nine winning favourites, and I’d say 90% of the races haven’t actually been a ‘race’. The winners have been winning easily, and it’s not a great spectacle. Obviously, if you’re backing the winners, you will not care the slightest, but it […]

The same comments from the each-way thread can be applied to the Lucky 15. I like to try outside-the-box angles for the big meetings, as you can often find value at bigger prices. Unfortunately, the ones I have gone for haven’t rewarded me, and the favourites have dominated the festival. Lil Brother was a huge outsider in the opener, ran […]

Going for higher-priced horses hasn’t been the way to go this week, making it difficult for each-way multiples to go close. Caspi Star was horrendous after being up with the pace. She was tailed off in last place, after being friendless in the market. Raafeed was unlucky as he got into multiple brawling matches. It’s hard to say where he […]

Ascot 2.30 – Norfolk Stakes (Group 2) Aidan O’Brien’s strong record with two-year-olds this week makes favourite Charles Darwin hard to oppose, though no favourite has won this race in the past ten years. Beyond him, the top six (or more) in the market are all in with a chance. Paul Attwater’s long-shot has an each-way chance, especially given the […]

It has been a bloodbath for me so far, but there is still plenty of racing to get the winners rolling. Spicy Marg ran with credit, but might have been on the wrong side of the track. I think she is a very talented filly and Michael Bell really rates her, so I won’t be giving up on her. Shackleton […]

Arguably, the main attraction for Royal Ascot is the Gold Cup. This year, the field size is small, but we get the right horses turning up. Ascot 4.20 – Gold Cup (Group 1) I think it’s fair to say that since Stradivarius retired and the recent retirement from Kyprios, it makes this year’s Gold Cup is a very interesting renewal. […]

The same comments can be applied to yesterday’s treble compared to the Lucky 15; they were both very poor. Solana Rose was simply outclassed, as was Pinhole in her race. Ancient Rome ran with credit, but had a lot to do and had a barging match late on to try and get the gaps. Caspi Star 11/1 EW (3pl) – […]

The Day 2 Lucky 15 was a shambles. Map Of Stars was ridiculously weak in the market, going out to 9/1 before coming back in slightly. He ran a very poor race. The Liffey was vying for favouritism at the start of the day, but also drifted out violently and ran a stinker. Julia Augusta ran an okay race. She […]

Ascot 2.30 – Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2) Day 2 kicks off with the Queen Mary Stakes, a 5f sprint for two-year-old fillies and a notoriously tricky race. I’m taking a chance on Spicy Marg, ridden by Kieran Shoemark, who deserves a big win after recent challenges. Her debut at Newmarket impressed me—despite a small field, she clocked a sharp […]

Day 1 for the ‘main’ thread selections didn’t exactly go to plan. Lead Artist was very poor, and probably wasn’t suited by the lacklustre gallop that was on offer. I’d have never picked the winner in a month of Sundays, so it is what it is. Mgheera was restless at the start. She lost a shoe and wasn’t given too […]

Since we are doing one race preview per day, it’s definitely best to focus on the big race of the day. Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (Group 1) This race is what every fan of racing wants to see. We get all the horses in the race that we want lining up, apart from one or two, but for the most […]

It wasn’t the ideal start to the Lucky 15 thread for Day 1 of Royal Ascot. We had a winner with Gstaad, who looks to be a real star sprinter for Aidan O’Brien. He did a lot of the donkey work on his own down the middle of the track and won with ease. Lake Forest was a sucker for […]

It’s always going to be tough to land a treble, but I was confident of at least getting every horse to place on Day 1. Unfortunately, the first runner of the treble was the one to let the side down. Manxman was repeatedly short of room when the race heated up, and that won’t be the first time this will […]

This thread is what it says on the tin. We will be posting tips for each race, and if we have tips from other pages, they will be linked so you can check them out too. Ascot 2.30 – Queen Anne Stakes (Group 1) Royal Ascot kicks off with the Queen Anne Stakes, a Group 1 over the straight mile. […]

For Royal Ascot, there will be a Lucky 15 bet for each day. Depending on the price of the horses, this can either be an each-way bet or a straight win. For Day 1, the Lucky 15 bet is advised as an each-way bet. Lake Forest 11/1 EW (3pl) – Ascot 2.30 (Queen Anne Stakes) We know what to expect […]
