Oh it's raining again...
Ante-Post I was on Suesa at 8s and Supremacy at 12s for the Commonwealth Cup so good and bad news
In the Coronation it's fairly obvious to back the German filly with the ground but her form is not without substance as the second in the German 1000 she won is French trained and was behind the recent Group 2 Prix Sandringham winner in a listed race at Chantilly the time before. She is also a good back to lay prop.
Let's hope we get through the card.
From memory doesnt Kirsten Rausling tend to breed horses that like soft ground?
Not posting my selections today but 1, 2 in that. Sorry after timing and all that but I’ve had such a rubbish week, it had knocked my confidence.
I picked them both as their dam sire was Pivotal and he is such an influence for horses getting through the ground. On another note, thought Prettiest ran a screamer as she wouldn’t have like the ground so much based on pedigree. Keep an eye on her - she’s nice.

Same here Jinny. Had a last minute look at the race and picked the Pivotal with the biggest price.
I used to use the same principle with those by Unfuwain.

Which sires are the ones to look out for in the longer distance races?
Galileo, Sea The Stars, Camelot possibly, Motivator, High Chaparral, Nathaniel, Sir Percy.
Vote Alfie!!!!
I was thinking Nathaniel. Backed Khagan in the later handicap because he had soft ground for in France albeit not doing much since he came here.

Just scanning the DofE, I would imagine sires like Nathaniel, Motivator, Sea the Moon, poss Sea the Stars. Dam sires Montjeu, Cape Cross, Selkirk. I tend to steer away from anything Danehill or American bred.
Its definitely not an exact science but it can help.
Jockeys saying ground not too bad but they are asking the winning jockeys and it never is!

This enquiry is a bit more interesting!
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.
Oisin is getting thrown out.
Surely the interference is too far out from the winning post??

I'll be surprised if the FPTP keeps it.
Then again, we're dealing with UK stewards...
Illegitimi non carborundum
Pleased for Oisin even if he beat Snow Lantern who has run a vastly improved race. A lot more to come from her.

Agree with that, think they have to appeal. Dettori didn't stop riding at any point, whether the travelling sideways was why they gave it to him, maybe. Difficult to say if they had kept straight would have actually made a difference to the order they finished in. A rematch would be interesting.
Vote Alfie!!!!
