Royal Ascot - day 2

[mrussell]

Rush of money for Marie de medici ?

 

[Hamm]

I don't think he's as shite as everyone else seems to think he is!

Watch him on Anna Salai in Ireland and Ecliptic at Newmarket!

It's noticeable the amount of Al Zarooni horses Dettori is being jocked up on this week.

 

[Hamm]

Thank god for that.

Was the draw bias bad?

I see 3 of the first 4 were drawn 9 and above.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Great stuff Dessie and Hamm!!

Well done Henry Cecil for dropping Timepiece back to a mile....would not have called her for that myself. But she certainly looks to have the attitude to match her ability judging on hear head carraige and tail swishing.

 

[chroniclandlord]

She ran a blinder for 4f though Gal - she ws well up there going into the final furlong despite being drawn on totally the wrong part of the track.

I thought so too. The difference the draw makes is incredible.

some good calls ..well done Hamm

draw bias?..at Ascot..really? ..tried to water it out?..nooo

i've never known it..or..I have been told i'm talking shite for suggesting it in the past

5.00-Maqaasid WON [3.46 & 1.78]
5.35-Safina PLACED [3rd @ 1.90]

Stakes of 1pt Win & 2pts Place @ Betfair Sp

Profit after commission,1.53pts

Maqaasid looks special

 

[Desert Orchid]

I'd want clear details of any overnight watering before going in heavily on anything on the straight course today. The round course tends to be OK unless they're forced wide in a big field.
