Tuesday 19th June: ROYAL ASCOT: Day One

Right here we go

big bet on POWER - can't have him getting beat.

 

I think Born To Sea will get closer to Power than last time provided he is run a little closer to the pace

 

I backed Power at 4's this morning. Not 100% confident because Most Improved could be anything and has almost nothing to improve to overturn Dewhurst form with Power.

It's not a strong race though if Dragon Pulse is third favourite.

 

Wide open race I think. Jockey-ship could be important, and there aren't many better than J Murtagh

 

That was so horrible.

 

Power is ****e - and the nile has broke down nasty accident.

 

I hate the guy but Fallon has just ridden them to sleep.

 

Fantastic ride, terrible draw yet got him in plum position, when he is good Fallon is the best.

 

And when he's bad he's the worst...

 

Fallon was a cut above. Terrible shame with The Nile, very sad to see. Power seemed to get caught up in it, not a race I can take the form literally from.

Why do they run it around the bend?

 

Why did Joey drop Power to the back, when he had a better draw than most... bad ride that for me...!!!


Got to feel for The Nile... that looked bad...

 

who were they collecting the trophy

 

I like Englishman in the Coventry at 10's.

That looks like a good price to me about a horse that won an incredibly hot maiden first time out. Listed winner in there, loads of next time out winners. No other horse in this race has run in something quite as competitive. 10's is massive for an each way play (albeit a small one as I think the fav will be hard to beat).

 

That Joe O'Brien is a useless twat, tries to hold up every horse. Are you Spencer in disguise?

 

Dunno, but I bet they got old Charlie's heart pounding.

 

CRISTOFORO COLOMBO next. And stop blaming Joseph ffs that horse was not good enough today - doesn't matter who was on him he would have been no closer. I lost on him as well.

 

I've split my stake on Messrs Hannon and Hughes, and Hills and Hills. There's a pattern emerging here.

 

Power was a massive lay today, as is Sir Prancealot.

All the bookies all day Sir Prancealot, Sir Prancealot, Sir Prancealot, who they tring to kid? He should be in the Norfolk, and he only looked impressive against very weak animals. The bookies will be loving laying this horse so short in here. Hannon dosent have a Canford Cliffs this year.

 

Did he get caught up in the The Nile incident? I haven't (and don't really want to) watched it back.

 

Not so sure Nass but he was pulled wide and has any ammount of time to pick up - looked very flat today. I am not watching it back either. RIP The Nile
