Royal Ascot

rolls royce of a horse

9s now. 12s ew a decent price.

Aye, decent shout. Definitely improved.

Poor renewal. Winner isn't going to be giving NOT, Kingman and Avenir Certain anything to worry about.

 

[Euronymous]

The 3yos will eat this lot up. That was underwhelming.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Looks like solid form. Pleasing horses in the frame. Surprised the Ballydoyle horse started at that price, yet still ran so well. Didn't look to be too many sob stories further back.

Well done to those that backed the French horse. I thought SFR was the each way bet (I only backed the Ballydoyle yolk to win).

So did I. I don't think being drawn away from the principals helped.

 

[JamesRB]

decent first run. don't think he beat much though.

 

[Bar the Bull]

Wow that is some time. I expect Kingman to break the track record.

 

[Gamla Stan]

On the round course?

 

[JamesRB]

Wow that is some time. I expect Kingman to break the track record.

faster than frankel

Zarwaan will break the track record on Thursday.

 

[EC1]

if it wasn't much of a renewal then why was Toronado worth taking on??

not when the hosepipe gets going tonight

 

[Colin Phillips]

Toronado is a grand looking horse, confident ride by Hughes.

 

[JamesRB]

i'd query Hot Streak being fave if the ground is as quick as that time suggests

It was a good each way race.

 

[EC1]

those track records are only since they changed the course aren't they?

He handled Newmarket ok and with the dip that track is harder to act on with fast underfoot conditions.

 

[EC1]

It was a good each way race.

oh..i thought people meant Toronado was under threat of losing..yes odds on fav always makes nice ew job

 

[Bar the Bull]

I was being a bit facetious, but does Frankel have the mile record on the round course? I can't think when he would have set that, as I know neither his SJP or his QE2 were particularly fast.

 

[Bar the Bull]

A quick google, and I can't see the track records at Ascot.

 

[Gamla Stan]

Frankel doesn't hold any course records at Ascot weirdly! Ghanaati owns the round mile record at 1m 38.32s.

[Euronymous]

Good to soft on both his runs on the straight track and he went way too soon in the SJP

 

[Hamm]

I thought Ardross produced evidence Queally got the fractions more or less spot on?

 

[Euronymous]

:lol:

war envoy will show best today
