Royal Ascot

[Hamm]

I could almost see Gulf of Naples running well at a big price (i.e., 4th).

 

[Grey]

Well done On The Bridle, a very satisfying win for you.

 

[Hamm]

Brilliant! Absolutely delighted for Frankie. Great ride and absolutely cracking race.

 

[Gamla Stan]

Cracking ride and how game was Colour Vision?!

 

[chroniclandlord]

Well done to Hamm and DJ and anyone else who called that correctly, I got it well wrong.

 

[Hamm]

I think Opinion Poll tired a small bit but but incredibly game.

 

[Bar the Bull]

A very good race alright.

Fame and Glory out like a light.

 

[Dave G]

What the hell happened to Fame Or Glory?

 

[Gamla Stan]

Colour Vision is a gorgeous animal.

 

[Simon]

Great ride.

 

[Desert Orchid]

Brilliant! Absolutely delighted for Frankie. Great ride and absolutely cracking race.

Great to see how much it meant to him too. When he's good he's still the best.

 

[On The Bridle]

Here here, delighted for Godolphin too...lets hope the keep involved and get better rewards for their considerable efforts and investments.

 

[Colin Phillips]

Very well done, On The Bridle.

She almost won it 'on the bridle'.

 

[Colin Phillips]

Don't think the stewards would've got out alive if they had thrown Frankie out.

Not sure whether to write about Murtagh on this thread or the Arse Cup one. Riding an out and out stayer that isn't settling so just sits there, does nothing and allows his chance to slowly but surely ebb away.

 

[On The Bridle]

Did Piri Wango hang on for 5th???

 

[Steve T]

Did Piri Wango hang on for 5th???

I bloody hope so. (Yes)

 

[On The Bridle]

I very much dislike talks of draw bias but low numbers were advantaged there..

 

[On The Bridle]

Dettori is a knacker cost me Tricast and lumpy place bet on Reliable Man

Dettori is a fantastic jockey for hanging onto 5th there

Agreed. Frankie was in the perfect position off this pace, and gave his mount, who took it, every chance.

 

[Hamm]

Why is Stipulate so big in the next? What am I missing?

Clear best on ratings, and his second to Cogito, to who he gave 3 pounds, looks fantastic after that one's run in the St James Palace.

He should be clear favourite, no?

 

[Desert Orchid]

Stipulate was my selection and I realised a few minutes ago I'd forgotten to place my bets for the next two races. Stipulate was longer with VC and Sportingbet - usually for a good reason - so I've abandoned it and gone for Grandeur instead as I can't bring myself to back Wrotham Heath. I should probably have left the race alone but it is Royal Ascot.

 

[Gamla Stan]

Ground? Got stuffed only time he's ran on softish ground but it was hellish at Sandown that weekend. Market has over reacted IMO.

 

[Hamm]

I agree with you both. Grandeur my back up but Stipulate's price is crazy. He would be 3/1 or less on good ground and no proof he can't go on this.

Yep, it wasn't softish, it was treacle. I'm in. Price is wrong.
