Royal Ascot Day 5

[Soary Stars]

There you go withtoday's thread!

All aboard the Swilly Ferry!

 

[Harbinger]

Looks like real hard work on the turn in. Very muddy.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Await the Dawn a very impressive winner.

 

[chroniclandlord]

I wonder where they rate Await the Dawn in comparision to St Nicholas Abbey.

 

[Colin Phillips]

Can't believe that not going to the far side, on its own, is the reason for the shockingly bad runs by Poet and Passion For Gold.

 

[Harbinger]

Hard to know. Doesn't look like much between them. Await The Dawn looks like he might have more improvement in him than SNA, but he needs to do it in a Group 1 now.

 

[Euronymous]

I wonder where they rate Await the Dawn in comparision to St Nicholas Abbey.

I doubt they know. Both have had to overcome conditions to prevail in their last races.

 

[EC1]

daft fivers on Definightly + Amico Fritz here

 

[EC1]

Amico went the wrong side

 

[Euronymous]

Another 115 sprinter Timeform will probably put on 125 at the end of the season.

 

[EC1]

Monsier Chevalier has run well

 

[Ardross]

Awesome run by Monsieur Chevalier In 2nd ! Bad error by Hughes to stick with Bated Breath

 

[Grey]

Star Witness looked to have made the winning move, the last half furlong was too much for him on the soft going.

He probably committed before the rain arrived. He had a decision on the winner this year as well.

These Aussie jocks can't race on soft ground very often.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Absolutely sick EC - backed Amico Fritz each-way last night at 33's and in an each-way multiple with Portal's Toy.

 

[Gamla Stan]

Star Witness looks like a horrid bridle horse to me.

Delighted I joined in with the Amico Fritz club.... This meeting has gone downhill big time for me over the past two days after a good first 3 days.

would have surely placed or even won if he had started moving towards the middle of the track

From what Hannon said on his website sounds like it was an afterthought for MC after he was run off his feet on Tuesday

 

[Harbinger]

This Modun looks a lovely horse and is from a great family. But IIRC the family don't like soft ground?

 

[Harbinger]

Never mind that - I was remembering that Islington didn't like it soft, but Greek Dance and Mountain High were ok on it, and Patkai and Saptapadi never really had a chance on it.

 

[LUKE]

Looked at his last race about ten times-even though he won easily in the e d he doesn't look to have much in the way of tactical pace-that could be punished around Ascot.

 

[Grey]

Star Witness looks like a horrid bridle horse to me.

I think that's proabably right, and would explain the apparently sympathetic ride he got on Tuesday.

 

[LUKE]

Of course he could be worth backing in running at a big price.

 

[Harbinger]

Maybe he didn't like the ground, lamentable run.
