The Horse racing thread

just done dick Turpin

At least you got a run for your money.

In the next race I'm using the theory of picking the "weaker" of the 2 horses of the same trainer.

Great day for the Hannon's even with Paco Boy getting chinned. Hopefully Goldikova and Canford Cliffs take each other on before the end of the summer. Two cracking milers and I suspect America will be on the agenda for both.

I'm writing off the rest of the week for Ballydoyle. You simply can't back them at the moment unless there's significant money behind them.

Spectait out tomorrow. Great stayer for the mile. Unlucky at goodwood last time it was there class 2. Odds of 40/1 on Paddy p and 1/4 for 5 places. too good to miss.

Some big fields and some very evenly matched horses in the big races, should be a great deal of excitement today.

My picks for today at Royal Ascot.

2.30 RED JAZZ 13/2 (Field Of Dreams 12/1)
3.05 ANTARA 7/2
3.50 BYWORD 3/1 (Shalanaya 9/1)
4.25 DANDY BOY 8/1 (TRYST 14/1, Riggins 12/1)
5.00 MEOW 10/3
5.35 SAFINA 4/1 (Miss Zooter 9/1)

Anyone know anything about a nag called Kingdom of Munster. It used to be with O'Brien but is now with Ian Williams over here. Its down to run in a handicap tomorrow at ascot and will be massive price. Someone tipped it to be a while back but it was withdrawn from a race the other week. Is it an O'Brien cast off because its a goat or could it be a horse still with a bit of class downgraded.

Ah feck, near got the first one up.

[RealSpiritof98]

Fancy Zebedee in the opener, seemed to have plenty left when winning 1st time out and a CD winner. Gertruide Bell 3.05.
I want to back Age of Aqurius in the big one and probably will but Ballydoyle certainly aint firing well (any info welcome). and Navajo chief 4.25.

Yeeeeeha!

Great to see a NH horse stuffing the blue bloods. Well done to the master of Rosewell - up Kildare!

Great to see, think he is going for the Melbourne Cup as well. That Peddlers Cross must be some horse, all things taken into consideration.

Yeeha as rite. Had 5ew at 20/1. I knew it would stay from seeing it at Cheltenham. What a race.

Another nice boost to the form of Peddlers Cross

[randomtask]

any tips this evening lads?

[Donnellys Hollow]

Not sure he'll go to Australia. I'd say Profound Beauty will end up at Flemington given that Rite Of Passage will be handicapped to the hilt now.

I'd love to see him having a crack at the Champion Hurdle. No better man than DK to get them ready. Best Irish trainer by a country mile IMHO.
