    Bookies running scared alright.

    All available at better prices on Bf. And probably on course too.

    what can you say,the winner is just awesome!as for mine,again,no excuses,he had the run of the race,and was fighting on until the line.probably a career best for him,and surely no shame to get beat by such a rival..

    Now, about this Turgenev - all I know is he was a Russian writer of short stories. What a story this could turn out to be


    Price has fallen through the floor, even on the exchanges

    Toughest horse in the business. Bookies will be in panic mode now.

    The Gold Cup was 9.8 seconds slower than last year and I just wonder if Dee Ex Bee would have had a better chance had he gone harder from the front. He stayed on well for second place but obviously could not run the finish out of Stradivarius who always seems to do enough.

    The pundits were trying to make out that Cross Counter was disadvantaged by being further off the pace but he was close enough when they started racing in earnest and just didn't pick up well enough. This was a new trip for Cross Counter and maybe he didn't last home. The 66/1 shot finishing ahead of him raises the question. Godolphin had originally said that the Melbourne Cup was Cross Counter's priority this season but after he won the Dubai Gold Cup they mooted the Ascot Gold Cup. Hopefully he is still on target for the Australian showpiece,

    Anyone taking 2/1 Turgenev and or 6/4 Questionnaire should be visiting the nearest psychiatrist as a matter of urgency.

    I did Barristan The Bold last time and sticking with previous picks has worked today so far.

    5.00 Ascot Barristan The Bold 20/1 1-2-3-4-5-6 Places EW

    Well whatever else happens, you've got the value.

    Anyway, no need to worry - even I couldn't jinx him on Stradivarius, and I haven't been able to hit a cow's arse with a banjo all week.

    Sorry to be the first one to say it, but I think the Dettori bandwagon loses a wheel in the Britannia... :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    I do not think the Turgenev wants the soft ground (0-3 when ‘soft’ in going description) and whilst the high draw is good, the fact that a few minutes ago it was 5/2 for a 29 runner handicap illustrates the illogicality of the bookmaking profession. The first nine in the betting on Skybet came to 102 per cent, so they had 20 running for them.

    ascot,5 00: BRITANNIA HANDICAP

    a real pinsticker of a race,but a tentative vote goes to KING ADEMAR.has been plying his trade in much lesser company so far,but hes in good hands,and the winner of his last race,where he was second,has scored again since.but the most interesting fact is,that oishin murphy stays loyal to him,despite this being a much tougher assignment today.mind you,he could surely have ridden anything in this,if he wanted to..so,a horse with a good profile.e w player.
