    Yes I am hoping she will run a good race thanks.

    I've put my 10p win goliath on for tomorrow, costing £24.70p.

    Nothing has fallen my way all week. I am assured these yankees are mugs bets that never pay, but I've had one last go with good entertainment and a runner in each race for under £25.

    I had to back Khaadem in my goliath as I remember last years Stewards Cup win. I hope Breathtaking Look runs well too.

    Its very unlikely but if I get 8 winners all of you will never hear from me again!!!

    It's been nice knowing you all, etc..

    Cheers. I decided not to back her as its a big step up from group 3 to group 1 level.

    (As per the above) I had to follow my head and back Khaadem.

    Khaadem will be my main bet in the race too. Hope your dream bet comes up trumps for you, Marble. You'll be set for life if it does!

    Cheers, Maurice.

    In truth I would be delighted to get anywhere near to three or even four winners. This would cover my (relatively small) loses over the past four days.

    All my horses have their chances (on odds at least). Pinatubo is the shortest at 15/8 (or 7/4) it was I took. Golden Apollo is the biggest price at 16/1.

    I feel the former is the most likely to come on for the 2000 Guineas. Based on last season's form anyway. I could be wrong though.

    Re- old Golden Apollo.

    Well....having touted him as a potentially good horse in his early career I figured I had to bet him. He ended last season on a high. Maybe he will have another big day tomorrow. Here's hoping.

    Alpine Star 2.35 is on the improve and should relish this stiff test. Bet of the meeting for me. 7/2 Lads.
    Magical Wish 12.40 should benefit from the drop in trip, and 22/1 (B365) a generous price.

    Final day of what’s been an excellent meeting for me.
    Blue Mist also ChiefofChiefs ew and maybe Louie de Palma ew
    More Beautiful- really liked this filly. Also Sands of Time ew
    Admiral Nelson (in double with above) w also I will look at them in paddock
    Quadrilateral I have always liked and she has to come on for the Guineas run. Won’t rule out Sharing either ew
    I have to stick with Wichita purely on the physical development from 2 to 3 but I would like to see Arizona come back to form. He was a stunning individual when he won the Coventry last year and many of AOB have needed a run this year.
    The fairytale for Skeptical would be great but I’m opposing with Khaadem and Dream of Dreams.
    I have backed the fav in multiples but also ew on Spanish City and Lethal Lunch

    And another Boom! At 33s! And I was on Louie ew at 25s. (Keep faith with Blue Mist, not given hard time when not clear run)

    Thanks. Can’t quite believe it really. I’ve had good weeks at Cheltenham before (13 and 14 winners) but never before at Ascot.

    2nd race shows draw is where the pace is: forget the high numbers it they're not.

    I was just coming on to check!!

    I hadn't bet anything in the race but thought I might have a bit of fun backing the four longest prices win-only on the exchange then thought, 'Nah, don't be daft' and ended up backing Thunder Of Niagara to 5places at 66/1. Finished 6th.

    Too many unexposed and the winner has fairly turned the form around with Existent. The fav was disappointing and I wonder if race came too soon for him especially as he’s a big horse.

    Going to make myself look silly probably, no change there, but watching that race just now and the replay of the Guineas earlier, I think Quadrilateral doesn't really stay a mile. I know she has won over it and good enough to be 3rd twice at high level, an she's bred to get it, but when asked to pick up today, she just has nothing extra and starts to paddle a bit. Maybe jockey could/should have waited to get round the bend before really asking her, but I think she just looks as if she runs out of petrol in the last half/three quarters of a furlong. Hiding behind the sofa while everyone laughs.
