Royal Ascot 2022

Yeah not often I would say a six year old flat horse could still improve but West End Charmer is still one horse who is very lightly raced and could find the necessary improvement to go close in the Wolferton.

He wasn't gelded until fairly recently which can always aid more improvement.

I don't think he starts his current price of 20/1 on the day if he starts.

Yeah Cleveland is on an upward curve but what race will he go for..

I backed Inchicore for the Copper Horse earlier in an anti post yankee for the meeting.

I have had my eye on her for a while. She won well the last day getting up late and 20s will do me nicely. I reckon she has come good at the perfect time.

She could start single figures if declared this Sunday I reckon.

Some cracking anti post prices floating about for the meeting at the moment.

Inchicore also entered for the Duke Of Edinburgh handicap on the Friday.

Just a day before final declarations for the Copper Horse aswell.

Urrgghh..#worried.

Cleveland
Copper Horse Stakes

We've always liked him and we always knew he was a very classy horse. He has plenty of class and he stays well. He probably won't go for the Gold Cup and will go for one of the staying handicaps instead.

Melbourne Cup. 1m 4f not far enough for him. I make him a certainty on Tuesday and have backed him accordingly.

Kyprios is still 5/2 for the Ascot Gold Cup. This is your last chance.

Good luck. He has his chance.

I might go left field with Mojo Star if this is where he goes. He is by Sea The Stars so should relish good to firm ground. He's interesting first time out this season.
 
Has to be a chance Homeless Songs doesn't run with the ground.
Current price could look big surely for Inspiral.

You would never have backed him if I hadn't told you to:lol:

Actually..........I put an AP Super Yankee on at Royal Ascot and I thought I'd make Kyprios my final leg so if the first 4 wins and it gets beat I can blame you:whistle:

I'm very tempted to follow you with Foxes Tales although West End Charmer was an eyecatcher the last day when finishing fast against Majestic Dawn. I think I will wait for final decs.

Did you mention First Folio a while back for the Wokingham, Euro?

I liked what he did early last season so have had to keep the faith for the Wokingham.

I have also been a Scope fan for a while, but I still think he will want it good to soft or softer over this extended trip and if the ground doesn't come up that way I will be looking for a proven good to firm horse in The Gold Cup.

Scope won't run on good to firm.

Good boy Luke now explain how you come to that conclusion or STFU.


While you are at it when's the last time you suggested a winning bet on here or are you just here to cause trouble?
 
Maybe I should start suggesting people Dutch two short priced horses at the most competitive at the most competitive meeting of the season .....will do that as soon as hell freezes over.
 
:lol: Yeah because I'm stupid I took 2.63 about a bet that now pays 1.62
That if I laid off now I would make over 60 pound profit for ever 100 pounds I placed on the bet.

And if you had followed my star selections you'd have had 21 winning bets from 23 selections.

Everytime you post in my direction you attack me for no reason
I suggest you start using your brain and mouth and give your arse a rest.
Or go join a knitting class along with some other sweetie wives
 
I'm loath to oppose Euro in the Wolferton but I've taken 25/1 Aristia. Looked much improved last time although the performance wasn't backed up by a fast time. However, her previous best was off a good time so I'm hopeful she's as curvy as Kelly Brook.

(Copying to the Longshot thread)
 
King's Stand - Man Of Promise 11/1, 5 places - I'm entirely respectful of the raiders at the head of the market but Man Of Promise, when he won at Meydan in the spring, beat the second and third 4¾L and 2½L, which takes some doing. Rating the performance via the runner-up's OR 113 puts MOP on 127, or via the third on its OR 98 works out at 120, before allowing for winning "easily".

He clocked 68.14s. I googled track standards at Meydan and couldn't find any but there isn't a course in the UK with a standard time anywhere near that which doesn't have a downhill stretch. It wouldn't be an exact science but suggests MOP could run 5f in around 57s. That would win an average Nunthorpe.

For me, that price is much too big. He should be third favourite at worst. I've also taken 14/1 win-only.

The Meydan runner-up came out next time and gave Happy Romance (OR 110) a 9lb beating and Naval Crown (OR 110) a 6lbs beating. Man Of Promise, odds on, was also beaten but they reckon he needs time between his races and he should be fresh here after 80 days off.

That runner-up, A Case Of You, was put in his place by Mooniesta and Brad the Brief at the Curragh when he returned to Europe. Meydan form does not travel.
 
Ascot Stakes - Arcadian Sunrise 9/1 - looks to me to be improving this season and Harry Davies's 5lbs claim could prove invaluable, probably worth about seven lengths at this trip.

Had a small ew on Wexford Native in the SJP (50/1 4pl B365).
3rd in the Irish Guineas, and Jim Bolger's no sttanger to tilting at this.

I was a little disappointed that I thought Inchicore was going for the Copper Horse. That was my first anti post of the meeting down the drain.

Todays declarations were kinder though.

Sibila Spain declared for the Duke Of Cambridge, Aratus runs in the Royal Hunt Cup and my other anti post for the Windsor Castle, Star Of Lady M has been declared with Colin Keane on board which can't be a bad thing. Hopefully she might run into a place on Wednesday.

Hunt Cup - Legend Of Dubai 11/1 (boosted to 12/1) BOG - my main bet in the race so far although I've eased back a bit on my stake because of the bottom-third draw. It was only a small field he beat last time but the six-length runner-up was beaten in a three-way photo the time before and the third, beaten over 13 lengths came out and won next time. This could be a Group horse getting in off 96. I overlooked the connections' excellent Epsom winner but I'm not letting this one go.
 
Betfair & Paddy have either made a rick or are taking a really strong position against Mighty Ulysses in pushing him out to 18/1 and Betfair boosting to 20/1 when he’s blue everywhere else
 
Baaeed you would imagine just needs to be pointed in the right direction to win tomorrow.

I was listening to Jason Weaver and co and they kept reffering to him as the best horse in the World.
They even mentioned the expect a Frankel type performance from him.

I'm sorry but this is the biggest crock of **** I have come across in years of the racing media selling a lie to create interest.

His best performance was without a doubt when he beat Palace Pier a neck.a horse I would add Frankel would have picked up and carried.
back in 3rd beaten 1 1/2 lengths was the Nassau Stakes winner so it's decent form BUT the best horse in the World? must be a very small world they live in

Good luck all for Royal Ascot
