cheers bluesky, had a monster day at Newbury today Lady Cecils in the last would be the icing on the cake!
Uriah Heep was poor. Possibly the third race in a short space of time too much. Irish Oaks looks a poor race but the Epsom Oaks looks even worse tbf. O'Brien must be kicking himself he didn't run Bracelet there now! Least I'm winning on the golf! Rory's striding majestically clear, simply different class when in this form. Wonder what the record winning margin is in the Open?
Just watched today's racing and morning line pricewiae was talking about who he has bet on who on earth would wanna take his bets???
Certainly is Beefy...not bad for someone who doesn't like the rain apparently! Great shouts from SBC and Swanny today and everyone else at the giving window. I suspect Barney will be top tabling all week after this...wouldn't be surprised if he's blowing his loot in a Nobu closet. 10/10.
Dexter, great stuff by SBC. He's probably so chuffed he might even invite his mate Nicky H.* to the top table as an honoured guest next week? However, if his co-directors are not racing fans, they'll wonder who the hell he is? Maybe. *Perhaps I should add Sir Mark Prescott too?
Why? She would have got outlcassed with the rest of them, id rather win a Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot than challenge for well beaten second in the Oaks. Obrien wasnt exactly having a great Ascot before Bracelet won either so I doubt he would change anything.
Possibly but its hard to be certain though based on what Bracelet done yesterday. She's not flashy but very tough. Volume seemed happier yesterday than ever so at Epsom. You'd be hoping Taghrooda can deal with the perennial bookie horse Telescope to show herself the horse plenty think she is? That King George won't take much winning, Telescope favourite says it all!
I think Volume is a good Group 2 filly, shes had easy leads in both Oaks and not been good enough, I wouldnt be surprised if Tapestry turns out to be the best horse in the race because Bracelet was ideally placed yesterday and Tapestry had got a bit worked up before it as Kevin O'Ryan alluded to on more than one occasion. You seen in the Oaks what a group 1 filly will do to Volume, we didnt see that yesterday. I think Telescope is just coming to himself now and I think hes an absolute certainty for the King George.
