reet hard (16th June 2021)
I see some excellent long shots with good reasoning being put forward, but in the Hunt Cup I'm hoping Irish Admiral goes very close. You definately have to put a line through the last run. William Haggas can be lethal in a big handciap with an unexposed type off a light weight like Irish Admiral.
Looking forward to today.

Like it. Irish Admiral and Matthew Flinders my two.
Hoping the Ardad/Boughey combination 's success in juvenile races continues on this stage.
Escobar my handicap cliff horse , every racing fan needs at least one !
Agincourt interesting in fillies race, second last year and after a wind op, might be ew value.
An OK day yesterday massively boosted by Juan!
Today....harder!
I think the US filly will probably win the first. Trainer is bullish and it’s what he does (whether I approve or not!). If she doesn’t win then I like Illustrating and Desert Dreamer.
Prefer Kyprios in the Vase to the fav and quite like Stowell too.
I rewatched the Newmarket race which LB won and there wasn’t much between the first three. Lavenders Blue is now 3lb better off and she has a proper fast ground action. I too like Agincourt ew.
I think Love will win. Have DF with My Oberon.
Hunt Cup....... Sharpened my pin and gone for Irish Admiral and Haqeeqy (he won the Lincoln like a very good horse). I may back something else too.
US can’t be ignored but have backed Armor and Spring is Sprung. And Ernies Valentine catches my eye too.
Lights On and Stunning Beauty in the last.
Good luck again all!

Hmmmm. Bit of a track bias?

Nice to see Cheerupsleepyjean leave her last run on softer ground behind.
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.
I don’t know if there’s another Irish trainer with the name Stack (excuse my ignorance) but someone said on racing radio that the Stacks don’t waste time entering horses (assume they mean over here) if they don’t stand a chance. One of those things that has stuck in my mind.
Anyone on that one? Definitely couldn’t see that. Track bias coming into play?

I wish!
Indie Angel progressed through handicaps last season to winning a listed race but even then you would have struggled to fancy her today especially on last two outings.
When Dettori's on a horse you've always got a chance.

I think he judged the pace best (as he often does) and benefitted from the golden highway I suggested earlier might be there.
That said, he rode Stowell like a total numpty.

Well to a certain extent. If he thinks he’s got a chance, he will try! If not he won’t bother.

Next up, POW - I've taken Audarya ew 4/1 without Love. Hopefully a safe bet with the prospect of a win.

Boooom.
Never in doubt!

That was a good performance by Love. Trip short of her best, first run of the year and she did the donkey work. AND Ryan rode her well (DO that’s at you!

He did ride her well. He can't be bad all the time. Just more often than a champion should beAND Ryan rode her well (DO that’s at you!

I'm a huge Godolphin fan but even I couldn't see that happening. As far as I know, the horse had never run on turf before!
In a way I'm glad - and not aimed at anyone on here who backed the Stoute horse - it won as I was on Astro King at Thirsk and it should have won. I just wasn't prepared to back it today at the price.
It will be very interesting to see what the handicapper does. Will he rate Astro King a comfortable winner or a well-beaten second?
I'll be rating each side independently of the other, effectively two separate races. The winner looked like a Group horse. I'm also pleased for SbS. Good trainer with the right horses.
