Willie Mullins adds a Royal Ascot win to his glittering CV. Genius of a trainer. I wonder will he add a classic winner like his father managed with Vintage Tipple?

and the 8-1 was sum price

A few more ticklers for today... wont be getting too heavily involved, winners look hard to put a pin on today

2:30 Lethal Force

4:25 Belgian Bill

a stab in the dark:

2.30  Cay Verde
3.05  Princess Highway
3.45  Opinion Poll
4.25  Prince Alzain
5.00  Energizer (e/w)
5.35  Nicholascopernicus

I hope this rain hasn't compromised Princess Highway's chances. She needs top of the ground being by Street Cry.

Fame And Glory should be fine on it. Hopefully they'll go a sensible gallop like last year and his class will prevail.

The more rain that falls the better for Astrology in the King Edward tomorrow. He ploughed through bottomless ground at Chester. Homecoming Queen in the Coronation will also benefit from an ease.

Take a Stab at todays:

2.30 Mister Marc
3.05 Vow
4.25 Trader Jack
5.00 Wrothen Heath
5.35 Gabrial The Great (NAP)

Weld strikes! 

She bolted up there. Will take all the beating in the Oaks back at the Curragh.

[Donnellys Hollow]

All the early signals are that New Approach is going to be an excellent sire for Darley.

[Donnellys Hollow]

Another New Approach winner!

[Minder]

Jockey was lucky there

[Donnellys Hollow]

Dreadful ride. I'd say he filled his breeches about three strides from the line.

[Donnellys Hollow]

Looking at the replay, it appears that he did a Roger Loughran on it and mistook the winning post.

[SLIGONIAN]

Imagine you were the fella who had 100,000 on that horse only for the jockey to do that, he said he underestimated the heavy ground and stickyness, is that just a excuse for pulling her up early. idiot got cocky imo. he never pushed for the line at all, nothing to do with ground..never seen as a relieved man in my life, he'll be lucky to ride Black Cavair again..

[Donnellys Hollow]

First rule of race riding - never drop your hands. It's unprofessional and disrespectful to your fellow jockeys. I'd say the trainer is fit to kill the lad and will give him a right bollicking in private. Fair play to her connections for travelling her but the mare herself deserved better than that ride.

[Donnellys Hollow]

Ah boy Mullins!
