We are in the eve of the great racing spectacular from Royal Berkshire.

Here’s a general place for thoughts, fancies, lays and plays.

Hopefully more for celebrating than just venting, poor rides or over watering, but all welcome!

Let’s hope that it’s a good one!

Delashay - I remember you mentioned Bay City Roller in the preceding days to the Coronation Cup
but at what stage did you get that 20/1? Was it when the ground was good?

Those who checked the weather forecast anticipating a downpour deserved to get that whopper price
(SP or on here?) in anticipating a downpourCool

It's the kind of initiative I just ain't got the patience for...checking out 'predictions' for
the weather which have been historically SHíTECrazy
Report Delashay June 20, 2026 12:15 PM BST
I backed it EW when the prices were put up, I’d said that I was against Calandagan after his win in Dubai. I’ve followed the horse, saw George Scott on ATR saying he’s waiting to go a mile and a half and wants rain.

Liked the form of his German win where he trounced Burkes Conwhateverhisnameis who was single figures.

No forecast watching, the price was right, it was gamble.

No recollection of me mentioning Christmas Day? I’d spoken about it and DD said that on pedigree it wouldn’t like soft perhaps.

I’ve no need to fib about mythical bets. It’ll be a while before I land another like that.
Report Herbie-53 June 20, 2026 12:22 PM BST
So what was the ground at the precise time you nailed that 20s?
That's the crux of it...as if you used your initiative and did your homework about the weather then that
deserves a doff of the cap, as once the rains came it was reflected in the market...probably immediately!

As you know...I started a thread about that Coronation as I could see the front pair of Calandagan
& Jan Brueghel BOTH being vulnerable on that day and I explained why, though at that stage I had no
idea what was gonna happen in the skies as if so, I would've been all over BCR too!
Report Delashay June 20, 2026 12:28 PM BST
The weather was unsettled the ground wasn’t fast there was a likleyhood of rain which is why I questioned would the Derby fav run.

I can recall telling people that connections of Calandagan didn’t want rain and might not run as they felt him a doubtful stayer at the track on soft.

Graffard virtually said the day before he was there because of the timing of the races and would run whatever, which was a back track on what they’d said before.
Report Delashay June 20, 2026 12:33 PM BST
You might also recall the form line that I mentioned about Prescott horse? Tiffany who was best 5L by Kalpana.

In that German race Bay City beat her 7L. She seemed a good yard stick and we know Calandagan beat her 1L at Ascot in the KG.

I can share this from David Menusuer. The filly that he mentions is Earth Shot who his beat narrowly at Goodwood.


“Honestly, she has put in a very good performance lately and, on top of that, I know that the filly she has dominated is highly esteemed by William Haggas. Among the 3-year-old females, Inis Mor is by far my best filly. I also have a good colt, Lost Boys, but the rest, at 3 years old, is very average.”

Yes, it was good to see Moore does have a sense of humour even with Chapman. I firmly believe if AOB / Coolmore were running a battalion in a Group race to aid their principal runner in the Far East or East Asia eg Hong Kong Cup / Japan Cup, S Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, they'd have been hauled before the horseracing authority and sanctioned eg an immediate ban imposed. They might even be asked to fund the race concerned eg cough up for the prize money.

Division had to switch out several lanes to get a run in the Commonwealth Cup and was still only three-quarters of a length down on Venetian Sun at the line.
You wouldn’t describe him as conventionally unlucky but he got closer to the winner than at Haydock and, if they were to meet again on ground as fast as this, Division would not be without a chance of reversing the placings.

I've never been a fan of Minnie Hauk. I still believe The ARC she ran in was mediocre. I'm waiting to see if Con River is being aimed. It's very unlikely he and Minnie would run - only one will. If the former does I'd oppose him with Calandagan. I did not back Jan at Ascot, but he'd do in the King George if Con River chickens out.

I think AOB will be mob-handed again, and team tactic deployed (again). I hope the BHA uphold the suspension of Soumillon as it was pretty blatant and unsporting.
