Prix Rothschild G1

The looks a weak Group 1.

If there is a proper Group 1 horse in the race it is Kelina. I think the key to her is the ground. She doesn't want it soft. On track report suggests the ground isn't as soft as was given. Has it dried enough is the question. The 6/1 with William Hill was taken immediately after the updated going report.

The Rothschild is a weak contest this year.

I'm more interested in Elite Status in the earlier race at 14:50. He arrived at Ascot with a tall reputation, but could only finish 3rd; 10/11 best price with 365.

have backed sound of heaven and grand dame   win bet 15/2 and 10/1 ew  blinkers on 1st time grand dame and solid form last season ryan rides ,sound of heaven very little to find with remarque lightly raced and looks to be progressing nicely good luck all.

Rogue Millennium 11/2 seems a decent price.

Why is it on the drift,SA, has good form,fishy

Elite Status won but I forgot to watch the race.

Battled on well as the 2nd seemed to be going better & looked
a big danger 1/2F or so out.

Well done! Fabre 1-2 in a French G1. What a surprise. Both big odds as well.

Wins at 12/1

They won every GP1 this season out there so far,the French?

Well done ELG

21+ BSP,hope he had some on.

Nice shout...credit where it is due.... was on kelina... only a little bit...
form bouncing from Ireland to France is hard but do believe in the French horses .....
Keep the faith

Excellent call and what a price ELG

Yeah deserve that after Westover yesterday lol

group ones mean nothing these days ,group one winner available at 100,s in KG yesterday

Only thing I got right was it was that it was a weak Group 1.

I can't remember backing so much rubbish in two days. Kelina (6/1-7/2) was probably the best backed horse, but has run more than a stone below. The ground shouldn't have been that much of an issue, and can't believe switching from a round course to a straight one is enough of an excuse. Just another pathetic performance.

Still on to Goodwood where the jocks have all those ready made excuses. I wonder what Dettori will come up with on the day one banker?

Great call ELG

well done elg

you try demoting a gr1 race named  after the rothschild family  to a gr2  in france . good luck !

If you restrict the qualifications for a Group 1 to an age group or one sex then you will sometimes end up with a sub standard field. The Derby is for 3yo colts over 12 furlongs in June so it will not contain a superstar every year and nor will the Prix Rothschild which is for fillies only. The King George allows fillies and mares as well as colts and horses of any age so in theory should be stronger form but only if the going is suitable for leading contenders.

Fillies can run in the Derby,Cape Verdi was a beaten favourite I think.

True, I had forgotten that but with the Oaks available, it is very rare. As the KG proved, 12 furlong horses are rarely at their best until the autumn of their 3yo year or at 4 and above. Even with such a generous weight allowance, no 3yo fillies were ever seriously mentioned for the King George.
