Aurora Vega the next off the Quevega production line has her first run at Sligo this week

Can’t really ask for any more on debut. Doubt there was anything else of note in the field, but unsurprisingly she seems above average at least

I backed another horse to place; I figured it was fighting a losing battle and had little chance of actually winning! It finished second, about half an hour behind Aurora!

Ramateulle looks very good, not sure she’ll always get her ground in France as seems to like it quick. But she’s smart

Edit: probably won’t be as good as Blue Rose Cen mind, not many do that double unless they’re very special

Got some good ones in France this year Ace Impact looks very good too

Blue Rose Cen is a spectacular filly. Churchill has produced a couple of very nice ones under the radar in her and Vadeni. He’s got some other solid ones too like The Foxes and Sprewell.

There's a filly in there that has got a big one in her but keeps getting held up too much and being given too much to do and that is Elusive Princess. She's got a great turn of foot. She had a stinker of a draw at a very draw-biased track and was held up and she still managed to finish fifth. Similar finishes in other races too. Adopt slightly more forward tactics and she turns those near misses into wins. She might be a good one for the Vermeille as the price will be favourable if others are in.

It looks like Running Lion needs a bit of cut in the ground. Turftrax had that as just shy of Good to firm today at 8.5 (8.6 GF).

Blue Rose Cen...worldy, now can she go on and do what Zarkava did? (Or will she bump into a freak like Stacelita did?

)

A couple of decent boosts, although shite max stake

Frankie to win a race on day 1 evens with Hills - Max £10
Frankie to win 3 races at Royal Ascot evens with Sky - Max £20

Max stakes may vary.

If they get a little rain i think the Hills one will be in after race 1

I may throw a few quid on Dettori to be top jockey at 10/3. Fairyrale ending an all that.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #5608 on:** June 20, 2023, 01:48:46 pm »

A cliff horse, Chindit has the best chance of a Group 1 he’s had so far and maybe ever will. I will not back him ever again but itd at least vindicate me pissing money away for 3 years

1892tillforever · « **Reply #5609 on:** June 20, 2023, 02:42:56 pm »

I actually backed Triple Time, shame I didn't put him as my selection! Also had Light Infantry to place, also not my selection

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #5610 on:** June 20, 2023, 03:27:40 pm »

Not sure whether Frankie went too soon or Inspiral just got tired having not run for ages. Should have won that, best horse in a poor field.

Crouch Potato · « **Reply #5611 on:** June 20, 2023, 05:43:24 pm »

Personally think it was one of those races where Frankie was forced to go for it early and if Inspiral had run this season he would have held on.

Can’t pick a winner to save my life. Awful Royal Ascot. I’ll have forgotten it by next week. Need some wow performances.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #5615 on:** June 21, 2023, 04:23:58 pm »

Some pathetic racing, you can’t back these. Mostahdaf should’ve been 33s in against these yet wins by half the track.

1892tillforever · « **Reply #5616 on:** June 21, 2023, 04:28:43 pm »

He was miles behind on ratings; shouldn't have been anywhere near it let alone win like an odds on favourite.

Crouch Potato · « **Reply #5617 on:** June 21, 2023, 05:59:03 pm »

Having a crappy day too. Thought i was gonna have a 10/1 when Saint George ranged up alongside the favourite there, only for it to go pear shaped.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #5618 on:** June 21, 2023, 06:18:29 pm »

Second in an egg and spoon race at Redcar then laps them at Ascot. The form of these races is not worth a penny.

Is it a promotion, is it limited stakes to £10?

It's a boost in the hope thousands bet on it and it doesn't win.
If it does win, many people will reinvest the £13 they've just won.

Win win for them.

£1.47 more than me

I don't get any boosts on my account, and my missus account is always a tenner.

Crouch Potato · « **Reply #5625 on:** June 22, 2023, 02:31:28 pm »

Only allowed me £2.50.

1892tillforever · « **Reply #5626 on:** June 22, 2023, 02:36:06 pm »

So, who had the 150/1 long shot then? I actually had Malc e/w. Did it yesterday at 25s so no BOG

Extraordinary luck. No one seriously thought the first one would win and the second didn't show much career wise to suggest it could win.

Why would you do a double then cash out after leg one? Daft.

Didn't fancy that Courage Mon Ami at all, thought it would have too little experience.

Whoever is picking the horses to buy for this Qatari syndicate seems a genius. They all seem to be winning.

Not sure I’ve ever seen so many mad results at one festival - surely it’s got to revert back to the norm? What do we think are the reasons for so many big prices winners? Lack of good horses? Lack of quality races in the build up to get an accurate read? Whatever it is it’s doing my bank balance in!!
