York Ebor Meeting

Just went to back One Small Step in the last and clicked on the wrong horse so I’ve had to turn racing radio off in case it wins. Had a disaster in the last race yesterday, too. Thought I’d placed a bet but I hadn’t. It’s an age thing….

Well done reet ! I’ve never been so pleased to see a horse I meant to back finish almost last! Oh and the one I backed by mistake came 4th so I’m well happy.

I think fillies races are to be avoided. Golden Lyra had form ties to the oaks via Nashwa, the winner had won a ******* novice at Wolves.

I'll grant you the winner won a nothing race put she was very impressive and full of potential plus Ryan riding has to tell us something......It's not like she was exposed and she's had an easy introduction.

I really hope you are wrong about fillies especially in the case of Roya Aclaim who I honestly think is a steering job in tomorrow's Nunthorpe.

I doubt if Pegasus would catch her when Andrea says go which should put the icing on the cake if StradV can win the Longsdale earlier

She is bordering on 5/2 on the machine at the moment which is absolutey crazy......unless one of her wheels fell off there are some real nutters on the exchange at the moment
I would make her 4/5 to take this.

This Ravenscraig Castle, at least running at the right trip or thereabouts tomorrow, being well backed according to oddschecker.

I see Euro is sweet on Lord Protector.

Dual purpose horse Cormier is second fav and must have a chance.

Then there's Harry horse Moktaasab.

I have a headache thinking about it. Going for a ly down.

If I have a dream about one it gets the nod.

Cormier was a horse I backed several time over hurdles and he always run well.

I can see why he is second Fav and he could just be worthe a decent bet EW
 
Yeah he has a chance.

There's potentially a couple with featherweights who could be plotted for this.

Kihavah is the most interesting one. He has run well at York before with three months off the track, if there's a sleeper or dark horse in there its him.

I do but he's gone quite short now. Wouldn't be backing him at 7s considering this is a new trip but he is well handicapped, of that I'm sure, and I like the trainer.

In the Nunthorpe I took 4/1 about Royal Aclaim after her win in the City Walls thinking the race wouldn't be that deep and whilst it's better than I thought it would be I'm as confident as a punter can be who's on a poor run. She's the last leg of two multis so I'm in a nice position. There are dangers - chiefly Flotus and Raasel and I have used those two in cover bets with the likes of Trueshan, Phantom Flight (last race on Sat) and Vee Sight (Sandown, Sat). I know this sounds daft but surely Highfield Princess can't spunk another Group 1 (third best horse in France imo) and Khaadem I think needs to be fresh. Can't have the 2yo at all and the rest I'll risk aren't good enough or GATG.

I really liked Golden Voice for the Clipper and was gutted when he was balloted out as the race he's taking on instead looks harder to my eyes (and he's not 10/1 either). On the positive side though there are 5 places generally available and 6/1 isn't terrible. The Gosden horse that heads the market looks very progressive and System was tracker worthy the last day but I couldn't stomach backing a Hannon/Crowley combo here. Two blue boys at the top of the handicap as well could be worrying although those stables have been poor this week.
 
Had a small ew on Winter Power in the Nunthorpe (22/1 4pl B365). Trainer states "She's in great form and has been working very well at home recently. For whatever reason, she wasn't herself earlier in the season and on her last start behind Royal Aclaim, but I feel she's back to her best form now." which echoes what he said before she won last year. Well drawn,too.

I've backed Kihavah but hes not really well in at the weights as he won with a 7lb claimer and now hasnt got one and went up 7lb so basically he is 14lb higher.
I also had a bit of 33s ravenscraig castle.

He does across as being confident but this looks like a far better renewal.

Of the first 5 home she's the only one who gave the form a boost by winning at Haydock the rest have won nothing between them in the last year.

I went in yet again at 3.8 Royal Aclaim for anther 3 figures who I think is going to be right up there with Nature Strip in the future.

I'll be surprised if she doesn't win in a canter but if by any remote chance she loses I have promised myself not to have another bet for a month at least.

If she wins I will chave covered my ass until at least Boxing day. I wish they'd get them to post as everytime I look I want to back her again...
 
Theres not much of a rise from turning in at Goodwwod but it seemed to catch out Coltrane who was going well until the final furlong when he flundered

Your might just be more his cup of tea and he could run Trueshan closer

Close enough for me not to be taking odds on about the favourite when I can get Evens Coltrane to be in the first 2

Cost them £40,000 to supplement The Platinum Queen so I guess they reckon she’s got a good chance albeit only 2yo. Worth a saver?
 
Saturday 3.00 - Art Power 16/1, 3 places, BOG - This might actually be the most competitive race of the entire meeting with just 2lbs separating eight of them on my figures. There’s likely to be plenty of pace on too. Art Power is the longest priced of the eight and looks a solid each-way bet. He, in fact, has a bit of form that none of these can hold a candle to, namely when he won the Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh last September by five lengths. The second and third, rated 106 and 104 respectively, were separated by half a length (2lbs) so can be taken to have run to form in what was a well-run race. He beat them five lengths (15lbs) “easily”, according to the form book, after quickening clear. This is his first attempt at the trip and his other entries are in the remaining G1s at six furlongs but if he’s going to get 7f anywhere it has to be here. I can’t split the others so will settle for this as my only bet in the race.
