Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2009 6:42 pm Post subject: Thursday 18th June - Royal Ascot Day 3
I was looking through the Brittania and came across something that I think is pretty odd.
No.28 Invisible Man is drawn in 32 in a 30 runner race. There is no horse drawn in stall 1 or 31. Do you think it's a typo and this horse should be in stall 1 or not? It's the same on both RP, Sportinglife and ATR.
I'm going tomorrow - hopefully the boys in blue can find a bit of form...
4 bets for me: -
15.05 - July Jasmine EW @ 7/1. Big tip in itself that she is running as well as another Stoute horse and another filly owned by Abdulla. Stoute must have insisted she take her chance even though Take The Hint is running and shorter in the market. Stoute has booked the big race man around Ascot in the shape of Mick Kinane, another boost. Her form when staying on strongly behind Midday is obviously in the book to boot.
15.45 - Veracity EW @ 16/1 (Antepost). I fully expect him to be in the 3 and if Yeats doesn't perform then he must go close to winning. His staying on effort behind Ask last time out doesn't look so bad now and this would have been the long term target.
16.55 - Spring of Fame EW @ 20/1. Fremantle is very short around even money. Being an American bred with winning form on the all weather, Spring Of Fame should relish the sand based foundations around Ascot. He also won and has run well during Godolphin's even leaner times earlier in the season. His run at HQ was pretty good and he really didn't act coming out of the dip.
17.30 - Zarinski EW @ 9/1. He could be exceptionally well handicapped and I could foresee him being well backed into a short priced favourite if this is the case.
Barwell Bridge in the last, silly price, hopeful. Have absolutely attacked the 4-20 4 handed, more to follow tomorrow. _________________ 2009 BCT Winner - Conduit

Has anything been said about the draw in the brittania yet? I want to know who is drawn 1. Is it invisible man?
they have mucked it up in the paper haven't they?
From my understanding all be it very limited, he will drawn away from the stands (ie 32) there will be no 1 drawn horse as he has been withdrawn and a reserve promoted..
Hope this makes sense as it doesnt to me the fact that he is drifting on betfair would suggest hes on the "wrong" side
july jasmine 13-2 e/w looks very much on upgrade and should have learned alot from lingfield
tartan gunna 50-1e/w looks a tough sort that should go close
uniquely poised 50-1 e/w in same race hated the soft ground and will love this faster going
barwell bridge looks nicely handicapped have took the 16s e/w
yogaroo will go very close but too short for me

I'm now getting the wobbles about backing this Monsieur Chevalier in the first because of this US horse who's meant to be better than the filly who won yesterday
Because of the way the race will be run I think I'll try and get a price on Monsieur Chevalier in-running as the US horse only knows how to run one way, sprinting off and Monsieur Chevalier generally picks up in the middle of his races and comes home late.
Surely these US horses can't win all these races
Yeats for me in the Gold Cup, everyone seems to think he's a different horse now than what he was at Navan and he has never gone on soft/heavy ground.
J V said in the rp, Yagaroo is the slowest of our 2yo's, but he might still be faster than the rest.
I think this is their worst chance.
Slightly worried that M.Chev would be better over 6, as he is a strong galloper, not a quickener, but he will be finishing the strongest.
I like Radiohead at a price, he can quicken.
Those three in a trifecta, easy peasy _________________ Is ready to hibernate
