Plenty of European interest and big fields so plenty of juicy prices.
Have spent a good 10 minutes studying all the form and have made the following selections:
9.45 - Lennilu 11/1
10.25 - Tommy Jo 5/1
11.05 - Queen Of Hawaii 12/1
11.45 - Intrepid 7/1
00.25 - Bottas 11/1
£5 singles and a 50p Canadian.

Good luck uncle, hope it is not 10 minutes wasted.

Good luck.
I spent a good deal more than 10 minutes because I don't follow US racing, and I don't approve of just throwing money away. Intrepido is the only one of yours that I have backed, and the only one at shorter than double figures. At the moment got one in everything except the Turf Sprint, Distaff, and Dirt Mile. Did a preview last year, but there clearly isn't much interest. The biggest name of the week was forced to pull out and nothing. I assume there are people who do specialise, but they don't seem prepared to put anything up. |

City Of Troy was obviously quite a big story, hyped up by the connections themselves. I suspect most UK race fans find dirt racing distinctly uninteresting, and it's quite brutal viewing at times. So if there's no european interest in them, it's meh. Plus the turf tracks are so tight, invariably there are hard luck stories. However there remains betting angle bc 101, euro horses for turf and lay/oppose them on dirt. It is blatantly obvious to everyone, but the opportunities still come. Not that many try the dirt these days.
fwiw Appleby is always straight up about his horses, did a good interview running through them on rtv last night. He is particularly keen on Cinderellas Dream. |

I think the two biggest flat meetings of the year are Royal Ascot and the Breeders Cup. It wouldn't bother me if there were no European runners, although it is good to see the competition. As for hard luck stories you will get plenty over here, and bad rides are commonplace. Once a year I am quite happy to embrace US racing.
As for Cinderella's Dream happy to swerve. She has disappointed too many times - beaten favourite three out of her last four, is far from certain to stay, and is a relatively short price. |

Not a tip, just passing on Appleby's thoughts. He went for CD as his most likely winner over NS. NS is a lot shorter. So it is notable imo (pardon the pun).
Of course you get bad luck stories here, and draw influenced outcomes. But probably more likely at Chester than York! It's almost guaranteed to impact every race over there on the turf. The tight turns, big fields and short straights don't lend themselves to good racing, but there are good horses running. |

Yes, non starter. You can't win from an outside draw at Del Mar.

Very disappointing to lose arguably the best 2 and 3 year old.
Also disappointing for anyone who opposed both and now faced with a very large Rule 4 in both races. |

Can't wait for the US coverage to kick in. At the moment you are faced with a choice between Bull and Dwyer or Collins and Orton. Almost feel sorry for Collins having to sit next to that loudmouth.

9.45 Schwarzenegger, 12 looks a bit big, each way chances for Mr Ward.
10.25 Tommy Jo got the race in the stewards room last time but still looks good enough, 7.8, win and first three. 11.05 Dutching Pacific Mission who was maybe undone by the soft last time and Imaginationthelady, a farewell retirement prezzie for Frankie? 11.45 Ted Noffey 00.25 Gstaad Good luck whatever you are on. |

600k on tote, horse is 4.7 5 seconds before the off, goes off 2.7 890k matched on tote, so the big pros wait to the off before lumping up to 300k on the winner

Arc day much bigger for me than these self proclaimed world championships (what a joke that is)...
No interest in the dirt races, and the turf races tonight dont look great either... not staying up to watch it all.... good luck to those who have a bet and an interest. |

I think this renewal is nothing special. I cannot even name a horse that I'd like to see running - not even tomorrow.

How can you back on the tote with any confidence if a horse can halve in price after the off, and that's in a pool with over half a million already in it !
