Mess race ran at a "joke pace" according to Ryan Moore. Any disappointments can put a line through them.
I don't think I am. I did say yesterday the price was completely wrong. There's nothing from that race to say she's as good as she should be to justify 3/1 at points today.
I think Rezeena looked good but it's fair to say that there is not a great miler in the ranks this year. Tagroodha looks a class act at middle distances but no filly asserting at a mile. If you ran that race again in two weeks you may well get a different winner, were you to run the St James Palace again every week Kingman would still win it.
Well done on any winners today lads. Archers on Rizeena and anyone else. Tough day, bookies day! My Adelaide ran OK but the Gosden colt was simply stunning. That horse is one to keep on the right side. I've decided to jump on the Gosden jolly in the next, mainly due to the red-hot stable form. Marzcocco 15/8
Yep but isn't that so often the way. Very rare do you see a dominant filly on the flat. Just like sprinters they all seem to take turns to mop up the big races, so unpredictable.
Rizeena is a nice filly when it falls right for her, I think she would be good in something like the Foret. Short of a mile is what I see her trip to be. Well done to Clive he has been really bullish about her. Perhaps she just doesn't like Newmarket?
My Titania was beat from the start, was a good run considering but doesnt look like she is going to be the filly some of us hoped, certainly wouldnt write her off on that, it was a throw out race.
There is something wrong with British Stewards enquiries when you can come half way across the track and physically take out the other horse and keep the race unless the winning margin is a nose. There was nothing Joe Fanning could have done but Century did not deserve his chance taken away through no fault of his own. The answer is for the stewards to start being more sympathetic to the impeded rather than the impeder as they are at present, this should be obviously the right way to go as the horse who has not broken any rules should not be needed to offer a greater level of proof that he would have won than the horse who broke the rules. I do not want to get to the French way of things in which you automatically lose the race, I like that we use our judgement, but we should not be so overtly out to protect the first past the post. In this race you knew he was going to keep the race with the current state of affairs but it needs change in my opinion. It is easier to say you lost the race because you broke the rules in bumping another horse than explain to an owner that he lost his chance and has to accept it even though it was no fault of his own.
I knew a Royal Ascot could not go by without being Jamied, Horstead Keynes came from way to far back.
Good Man YerSelf Roto .....Fast finishing 6th for Santefisio in the lucky last! Also Good Man Paddy Power for paying 6 Places @ 1/4 the Odds
