Friday 22nd June daily thread- Royal Ascot day 4

Any rule 4 there?

 

Very impressive.

That must be why they call him Boris Fenster.

 

10p apparently - 5p of it for Kosika at 25/1!!! Absolutely disgraceful if sportinglife are correct!

 

You would be forgiven for thinking Royal Ascot was a fashion event with a couple of races as a side show watching bbc, terrible stuff.

 

New Approach is on fire with his first juveniles.*

Always rated him as a great horse, he never got the respect he deserved at times. So glad to see his offspring backing up his ability.*

Galileo watch your back, there's a new kid on the block *

 

Great performance from the filly. just putting it out there, she is going to win next years July cup.

 

This Calico Cat could be a huge price at 66/1 tomorrow. He is on a sharp upward curve, is very well regarded, will handle the ground and you could say that his owner is fairly confident - http://talkinghorses.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=478670&postcount=492.

 

I like it - you'd rather hump those birds than John Mcririck wouldn't you?

 

Wouldnt get carried away, this was a very poor Albany but she is a nice filly lot of speed and appears to like a bit of cut.

 

Agreed Shergar. Absolutely delighted.

 

Frankie Dettori - "the stewards are very fair" that's a bit like harry redknapp complimenting the judge who let him off for tax evasion

 

I cant hack it Dan, I believe a racing show should be 100% about racing.

Thats why they call me Boris Fenster

 

She wont be a sprinter, she's bred to be a middle distance horse

 

New Approach is one of the only things I agree with Shergar on, he wasnt underrated by me I can assure you, he will always be my favourite horse.

I think alot of people held a grudge with the horse because Bolger pulled a stroke in the Derby, and because they missed the best 6/1 shot in the Derby for a long time.

 

In all seriousness I do agree Boris - it's the one thing about Royal Ascot I don''t really like and the main reason i would avoid actually going like the plague.

That's why they call me a moany old bugger.

 

Zen backed him last time out. He will not be winning tomorrow - great little buy though.

 

I'd Like to know what odds they'd give on New Approach having a classic winner next year?

 

If they were giving out Id be there more likely Id leave a grumpy old fool!

 

I think that's true - and the reason some on here (me included) ridicule him a bit was because one person had him on a par with Pegasus and slated every other horse who he was ever compared with.

 

The interesting thing for me just now is the fact that we havent seen a New Approach at 7f + yet.

He might just turn out to be the best son of Galileo and his fee will be rising sharply very soon I think.

I know Frankel but hes a miler and New Approach would destroy him at 1m4
