Royal Ascot, day 2 - Wednesday

Sea of Class still drifting on Betfair.

Id say there is a worry she doesnt run on the ground.

Noticed that for first two days the prices of most runners appear way bigger the next day, just like Cheltenham. Don’t back overnight prices

With the softening conditions might be some big priced winners today - edit; actually saying they missed they heavy rain so maybe not as soft as predicted

Anna's Fast and Daughter In Law in the Queen Mary for me, and after watching the Chester Vase I was adamant Norway would win the Queen's Vase.

I have no other fancies but some great races for watching

Sh*te talk incoming..

Have to take Doyle's from the Goldophin clan in the 2.30 first, Theory of Time (12/1). 2nd favourite of Appleby's two but has the best jockey on board - he also should have went to the Albany Stake but he is here instead. Andy Holding makes a good case for him also, has put him up as 1 of 3 selections for the race. Worth a punt in an unpredictable race really.

In the 3.05 I think Dashing Willoughby will improve again up another 2f. I don't think the race was ran right for him when he finished close 3rd behind Norway at Chester. He set quite a slow gallop from the start. This will be a much different race now and probably will be a more staying test. Norway probably has his measure but at 10/1 he is worth a few pound.

For the 3.40 its hard to know. What I don't like about Magical is her prep... a lot of racing in Kildare against the same opposition who she was always going to beat 3 times. Can't fault her 2nd to Enable in the US but Sea of Class probably should have turned over enable herself. I might have to eat my words but I think Crystal Ocean is out of his depth here. The value is in Sea of Class at 4/1 but small bet - hard to know if she ready and fit enough.

Serious value in the 4.20 available thanks to I Can Fly taking a super short 7/2, which I think should surely drift before the off... Based on that price everyone should be having Red Tea at 16/1. But I prefer the Agrotera, Preening and Rawda form better. From their race at Kempton I would take Preening at 20/1 out of it.

Well done if you can back a winner in the last 2 of the day. I'm not even gonna guess at it.

Have also added Daughter In Law in Queen Mary at 33s with Paddy paying 5 places. Showed some serious pace to win last time and possibly underestimated on account of less fashionable connections.

That was my thinking too. Her form is solid in its own right, whether that will be good enough today is another thing but worth chancing at a price.

That Peter T Fornitale, thinks Kimari has a huge chance. He's a very decent us racing tipster, and has been right plenty of times in the past about ward runners.


That said i'm really blindly following wards bullets in these 5 furlong 2yo races. Ground is getting better by the minute (once it doesn't rain again)



Of course i also stuck in Love Bracelet, in a fun lucky 15 that will change the name of BetVictor to BetAidan if it comes off.

Do you tend to get you’re money back for a horse that doesn’t leave the trap?

No if the horse comes under starters orders in the stalls or at tape(in the case of NH races) then the bet is in play. By the letter of the law it is classed as a loser unfortunately.

Ickworth i assume.

BHA reviewed and horse was classed as a runner. So only way you get your money back is if the bookies offer some sort of concession.

Just got a 5 euro free bet, fair play to them considering they didn’t have too.

Oh my sweet summer child :pac:

I think i rathered the old 2mile Queens Vase race. Granted there have been 2 decent winners since the changed the conditions.
