World Cup Challenge

Away at the weekend so back to the football – three shock results have really dented my challenge, who would have thought that Spain, Germany and England would all fail to beat supposedly ‘inferior’ opponents?

Royal Ascot Day Four

Its Day Four of Royal Ascot today.

Day Three Ascot results:
Three lays got beaten but the fourth saw me denied by the bob of the head, a photo, a stewards enquiry and a short head defeat. Ironically, the 2nd and third horses, at 4/1 and 12/1 were the two that I had put up to back. No outright winners sadly.

Ascot: Good to Firm
2.30 Albany Stakes – lay Radharcnafarraige
This is a race for female two year old sprinters – 22 frisky fillies running over 6f. I will take on the favourite as she has had more runs than the typical winner and her wins have been in Ireland. I don’t really fancy backing anything as there is so little to go on and they have their own way of doing things at that age but if I had to put anything up I would go with Hooray and Crying Lightening.

3.05 King Edward VII Stakes – lay At First Sight
Run over the Derby distance of 12f, this is known as the Ascot Derby. Lots of runners from that race try their luck in this but few make a winning follow-up. At First Sight ran a stormer at 100/1 to finish second in the Blue Riband but having front run for 11 of the 12f he may still be feeling that, plus Irish runners have a poor record in this. The favourite Green Moon is my choice.

3.50 Coronation Stakes
The highlight of the day, the best 3 year old fillies in Europe taking part. I would love to see Jacqueline Quest win this as I thought she was robbed in the Guineas, losing the race in the steward’s room when first past the post. But she was 66/1 that day and that might have been her Cup Final, so I am backing Music Show who was drawn wrong in the Guineas and think she will run well today.

4.25 Wolferton Handicap
Fifteen run but with the favourite at 2/1 and the next best priced at 11/1 to Betfair, I am leaving this alone. The favourite is no certainty however, with no favourite taking this since 1999 and two 25/1 and a 20/1 winner in the meantime.

5.00 Queens Vase – lay Corsica
A two miler and Corsica is my lay, despite Mark Johnson’s good record in this and the fact that he has been napped by lots of respected judges. He has won over a mile to 1m 4f but has a mile to 10f pedigree, so stepping up to this trip in a class one is going into unknown territory. I am backing Icon Dream at about 10/1 each way.

Day One Ascot results:
I had Equiano, hammered in from 7/1 into 9/2, just missed out on Paco Boy (I thought Richard Hughes partly to blame as his finishing run was electric), got nutted by a nose with Elzaam and all four lays got beaten – in fact they were all unplaced.
