Great run from Canford!

Good start to the week.

Hopefully Live Wired was joking, or didn't lay too heavily.


Why can't they show previous Royal Ascot classic races, or form of the horses that are going into the next race with some proper analysis and build up instead of this fashion show b0llocks.

Why anyone would place a bet like that is beyond me. Both where always going to be one and two. Crazy betting.

Think BBC are overdoing the run of Cityscape, ran a great race but was never going to threaten Canford or Goldikova for a place.

Waiting on Frankel for 5/2 as well.

Please don't blow.

Bloody hell Kingsgate Native backed from around 9s this morning to 11/2 fave.

I don't bother too much with sprints and had no bet on the race but Prohibit was always gonna be one to consider. Proven at the course and always been a reliable sort. Would've taken a bit of faith on him being good enough to win a race like this but sprint form at Ascot often counts for a lot.

Place money with overdose.

Come on the beast next

Also in the 5pm, Ermyn Lodge could have a squeak. Has excellent form around Ascot (1,1,2), and if stays could have another good tussle with Zigato. Only having the two bets I've already placed so won't be backing, but 16s-20s is a fair price.

Squeaky bum time going for home then, Frankel will have to be held up far longer against top class older horses - idled like hell.

Still, in front for the first day and thinking about piling on SYT tomorrow. Already got him in a free bet double with Frankel.

Never in doubt, he idled big time and still made it home. To go for home so far in front, and run at top speed for 4 or so furlongs and still it out by almost a length is a brilliant performance. Zoffany came home strong but was never catching. We've seen him make all in the Guineas, we've seen him go for it 4 or so furlongs out today - can you imagine if he was dropped in and Queally let him go at that speed for the last 3 furlongs, he'd blitz any field. Top class.

Lovely. Had a double on Frankel and Power to win.

Finished bloody second wish I'd backed him E/W. Didn't back Power, either!

Still, the two I did came in so can't complain.

Kept it to yourself though

Not a bad today.

Sitting on a 10/3 ticket for So You Think tomorrow now too.
