Lucida.

I thought she was the best filly at HQ but this is a stiffer test of stamina. Think Found will murder these tomorrow

No doubt in my mind as to Lucida's stamina. Ascot will pose no more of a problem than Newmarket. She had a lousy time of things at HQ and still almost claimed the win. Only beaten by the run of the race, and a horse that was almost an Oaks winner. Had she NOT been switched here there and everywhere,and hitting the front too soon, I believe she would have won. Winning in this company is never going to be easy, but if the jockey does HIS job properly today, Lucida will win. Good luck all!

On the figures I have Lucida well clear but they've been dealt a cruel blow with the draw. Don't underestimate its effect. Found will have a huge advantage as well as a much better jockey. If manning has to do anything more than point and shoot, there's trouble..

I think the draw is perfect to be honest. Granted, Moore is in great form, but his mount still should not finish in front of Lucida IMO.

You got it right re Manning Howellsy. Draw didn't bother me and he did have ample time to get closer. IMO should have won. Place bet got me a bit of profit though.

Too far back on home turn in a Group 1. Asked an awful lot of the horse. Not great.

Winner was a long way back as well for most of the way.

i backed lucida for a place roy, draw obviously didnt help, which with the hold up tactics was made to look worse. !!

ive seen unluckier  losers, but i wouldnt knock the jockey. 

Probably best over a straight mile if she is to be ridden like that, he was always going to run out of time trying to pass them all in the straight. Not helped by having to go wider a couple of times. Maybe he was riding to instructions, if so they got it wrong on this track.

In my OP I did say the same mistakes wouldn't be made. The JOCKEY was the mistake once again.

I just thought he was motionless for too long Glasgow.Like you say though, I too have seen worse.

lol look at the replay he was riding the horse before the str8, motionless my ar5e

as dave says...my a4rse...was flat out over 2 out..got outpaced and that was that.

Sat motionless at the back early doors! Could have been closer. No good sitting there looking pretty then deciding to get serious entering the straight!
