A good run from the 3YO also

Funny that Adele was mentioning him changing his legs and Aiden said just after he moves like a Ballet Dancer!

By the way is noticed that at Chester

£1.134 million x 0.07 = £79,380  ...Jockey prize ! Wow !

It’s brave to rule out Kaplana with her form lines, never been out of the first 3 there. Baldys and Lads ducked it early were 13/2 & 6

12.0 on here,dipstick


uptheirons • July 25, 2026 10:29 AM BST
But,you never backed it,Delbert because you have an unfunded BF A/C



Kalpana
@ 8/1
King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes
Won
Each Way: 1/5 Odds, 3 Places

Mighta got lower odds but hey!

That was the best result for horseracing. Mr Balding is one of the best and most gentlemanly trainers in the sport. He's genuine and always consistent and forthcoming with his horses' race plans. It's synonymous Kalpana won for Juddmonte.

Dancing Brave and Enable were two of the most iconic winners of the race in the past.

Turns out that 13.5 advised yesterday was excellent value, she is a lovely mare

The Autistic loon cannot help himself and the 1.01 aftertime claim  was landed.
BTW,who was this aftertime bet with?

well done winners

There you go brandy.No bet before the race and then,hey presto.
The Autistic moron cannot help himself

They’re my favourite silks impossible. Was a great race!

I don’t know why Graffard said after that there was less time between races this year, his work rider had said that the extra time was good for him this year. 

Too many horses in this years race for Calandagan to make up those lengths.

Lambourn finished closer there than he had at Saint - Cloud where he had slowed things up.

By the way I can help myself, but when you mock people and laugh at them, call them, “dipstick…” amongst other things and make presumptions don’t be surprised if it bites you in rear!

I’d pointed out that they ducked her you didn’t take any notice and no one knows what you backed or fancied!

I didn't post about it but Kalpana was the first of the popular big 6 I dismissed despite recognising her as a G1 filly.
I'm very surprised she's won that (and deservedly so...with no excuses for Calandagan) and I would've wanted 16/1+ before
even considering her!

I've had my pants well & truly pulled down with Kalpana and got that well wrong

All I can suggest is that doppelganger was Enable instead

There's probably only ME on here who after-times with a loser

So much for Delbert's word.
Fantasy Island Bookmakers?

Lambourn beaten 3L by Caldagan today.

6 1/2 at Saint - Cloud

There’s food for thought.

same here Herbie, didnt fancy her at all, but glad she won anything but obriens lot

The tard will probably claim a double with Item

Delashay - I saw that immediately...and that's my Exhibit 'A' for believing Calandagan hasn't
performed to his best today and he's been beaten fair & square with no apparent excuses.
He just hasn't fired for whatever reason

EJ - I'm always ecstatic when they lose...and a stable like Balding cops it
I must admit that it's staggered me...and nice to see someone else honest enough to say so.

Delbert's aftertime record remains 100%

I told you Herbie on Thursday that Newbury race was the key for Kalpana, mind you, you only have 45yrs experience in horse racing so you cant blame yourself for missing it, your still learning, imagine what you will be like when you get older, we certainly agree on O,Brien thats for sure, we both know what Cecil, Gosden, Harwood, Hills, Stoute would have done with a breeding operation behind them.

By the way its equally possible that she may have improved and Calandagan might have run his race, its as possible as him not running to form, both valid points

Delashay - it makes that West Wind Blows undoubted 10 lbs improvement (I mentioned a while ago) even more bewildering!

The fact that Calandagan has ran how he has with zero excuses is very puzzling to me.
I didn't even flinch in the closing stages and I confidently expected him to nail her.

She's most likely found a few lbs improvement and after all...she got close to him last
year so it's possible that IS true form with no ifs or buts...though I'd like to see how
it further pans out in the coming months as I'm white-hot on Calandagan.

I also agree with your observation on West Wind Blows as you said how often if ever does a seven year old improve 8-10 lbs, he did it against Calandagan and then backed it up against Kalpana

Kalpana only got beat 1L last year.Not as though she was hammered.

if kalpana has/is improving  and its soft in paris

I recall Herbie and I don’t see that West Wind Blows has, just that he isn’t as good, last year was a long season and the travel and all those Group 1’s takes it toll.

The trainer has been cautious, talking about him needing to show signs that he still wants it.

He does but maybe not as good as he was, I couldn’t see him beating Ombudsman again.

By the way that 12-1 for the Arc looks big initially to me as soft ground wont be an issue for her so just had a bet on that, the race looks weak to me

I couldn’t fancy Kalpana in Paris, she didn’t handle the track last year and Lambourn being so close rings alarm bells for me.

She was drawn 10 but Byzantine Dream and Arrow Eagle were 15 & 16 and ahead of her.

She weren't good enough last year.Nothing to do with the track.
Travelled well until she faded late on.

When a mare improves you just never know how far they can go and with the arc at this stage looking not that strong 12-1 after today is not bad value, the soft ground wont bother her and with due regard to Lambourn he was actually given a chance today and remember he had also beaten Bay City Roller in May this year and that romped home in the Coronation Cup. Having watched the race again the winner won fair and square and if anything the one to take from the race is Benvenuto Cellini who has run a stormer and gone under the radar. He is another with progression who could go well in the arc, that said the worry there would be soft ground.

I’d mentioned Lambourn beating Bay City, but he was in receipt of tins of weight that day.

I don’t think that she has improved but Calandagan has regressed, he’d of beaten West Wind Blows easier, Sunly & Caulificar last year.

Pen it has to be something, maybe she doesn’t like the downhill section?

Either way earlier in the year Balding said that the Arc wasn’t an aim but the Filly & Mares at Ascot.

She beat Quisisana3 1/4L at Ascot she was beaten over 9 by Daryz, Kap 7L it’s not good enough and you’re taking a little chance that soft ground and a better draw are going to help her as well as the improvement that is being touted.

Another thing Keane hasn’t,  I don’t think won a race e in France, Bay City Roller relishes soft as much as her and has travelled and ran well at the track.

Why do people continue to debate with the Autistic,aftertiming cretin is beyond me

Soft ground last year.The only other time she's won on that ground was
against the girls.To me she's better on better ground.

It’s called discussion, it’s a forum, add your view, there’s the Arc thread if you’re into looking ahead?

Watching today in the final furlong I thought her action was more suited to good so you might be right.

After you broke your word and aftertimed the winner despite 80 C&P's with no selection?
FRO

I had a £10,000  Double on Kalpana and Item.
Or,perhaps I didn't you utter bullshatter

Its all about opinions but one thing I have learned over all the years is not to take the form of a race literally as in the majority of cases it just does not work out, this coming from someone who used to be an absolute form student for many many years, your right about Bay City Roller, another vastly improved horse this year who loves soft ground and has no problem with Longchamp, for me betting nowadays is all about value and in my opinion she rates decent value after today's race at 12-1, I am very aware also that she may not run but its worth a punt sometimes, it will be interesting if she heads to one of the arc trials or goes straight to the arc, that is if they do intend going, which after today would seem logical to me. Finally Colin Keane does not worry me at all.

Bay city roller its all too late now you dont get many chances and its usually when no one fancies it last time out was the time.

Fair enough MP and it’s all about if you think that the price is right and you’re willing to chance it.  We can only use the form as guide as you say, agree.

With Bay City you might be right ABBA but some horses revel in the mud, he finds when others turn tail. Last time might have been his coming of age.
I mentioned him playing devils advocate because for as many horses will improve for soft, there’ll be another. People have put up Estrange for the same reason.

Yet another thread polluted

If a poster makes 80 plus C&P's on a race without a selection,promises not to aftertime the winner and then does so.Are you surprised ,Herbie?

I done my money, I seem to be the only one.

Lunatic is on a 50 posts a day march w4nkf3st.

Thought it to be a decent iteration of the event.
Fast time, properly run heat.
Lambourn a serious contender for the Irish St leger?

BYE BYE BABY,BYE,BYE

I understand Calandagan was rated the best horse in this race however, I think it was more to do with his performance in Meydan (petrol currency) or that part of the world. Yesterday's race was not run to suit him - it stretched its stamina to the limit - and neither was it for Minnie. The designated pace was meant for Ben but Ben's a slow boat. He's just not as good as AOB has been telling the easily deceived bookies sponsored pundits.

There was plenty of money for Kalpana yesterday, but I thought she'd prefer softer going. Similarly, Minnie. However, I'm very pleased for Mr Balding and Juddmonte. Prince Khalid Abdullah, Sir Cecil and Mr Harwood were the true gentleman of British horseracing, and a formidable trio. The former owned some very exceptional horses eg Dancing Brave, Enable, Warning, Rousillon and most outstanding and prolific winner of all the unbelievable and unbeatable Frankel. Frankel was a freak!

Grade 3 rider …..

Interesting write up Impossible, I’d been ridiculed for suggesting that the stamina would be tested for Calandagan earlier on on here.

After a race I like to let things settle and see the take out in the cold light of day.

For me the race wasn’t as great as I’d hoped that it would be beforehand. The two Japanese were dismal, Goliath didn’t run up to his Hardwick showing, Minnie Hawk didn’t improve for the extra distance and is to me looking exposed now this year. Make no excuses for her.

She was beaten 4L by Ombudsman that’s a good guide, last year See the Fire was beaten that distance twice by him so maybe that’s as good as she is at 4?  3 strikes now at Group 1 this year.

Even Wurrtenburg should have been thereabouts as he was rated similar or the same as Lambourn.

With those four all underperforming I think that the run of Ben , “The big old boat” ( the original quote) which was mocked by pocket talkers at the time has been flattered somewhat. (He hung right again today something to consider if going left handed around a tight American track).

He looks to me Leger bound and this comment from AOB is interesting; 

We know he gets a mile and a half well, but you couldn't be completely sure until he did it against the older horses. Even going through the line, he didn't look finished. We'll look at the Breeders' Cup with him."

The going is what might be holding his price up 12/1 10/1 and the fact that Christmas Day liked it. But Epsom wasn’t ever his course.
(On the going yesterday Adele said he’s still bulking out physically and it may have been that at TWO that both Action and Hawk Mountain were more ahead of him physically.)

*and able to cope with conditions that day better at Donny.

he,s beating 140,s shot LAMBOURN,who did alot of the  donkey work,prefers softer ground,  a few lengths recieving lumps of weight

So the O'Brien pacemakers have made sure the best horse on the day has won, even though it wasn't his. If they weren't there Calandagan would probably have won with a slower pace. And the people who are glad the winner won and Calandagan lost got their wish because of those dammed pacemakers. Irony eh.

Delbert,the Fantasy Island,non betting, aftertiming loon who simply cannot help himself and proves again that his word is totally worthless
I stated that I would not be having a bet in the race and I did not.
Unlike Delbert I have no need to lie

There is absolutely nothing wrong in having pacemakers whose sole job is to set a good gallop which they did on this occasion,MJK

Unfortunately you never wrote that you weren’t betting on this race but on another thread!

Not sure what you felt you contributed here?

It’s obvious that you done your conkers hence your rampage after which resorted to racism afterwards.

BTW,pointing out that it was 12.0 on here was not dismissive of its chances but merely pointing out a fact

it took the early morning market move for you back track and try cover yourself in case she did win!

Took TWO DAYS for an aftertime!

It’s obvious that you done your conkers hence your rampage after which resorted to racism afterwards.

Yet another poster with supposed clairvoyant powers
I was never going to back in the race as I stated.
You are a puerile, Autistic,lying,aftertiming,non betting loon and that is why you get the abuse and it has nothing to do with your colour

Please show us all from where on this thread you posted that you weren’t going to have a bet!?

Delashay, the first 3 home proved that the race was up to standard, it did not prove that Calandagan has a stamina issue and the ratings with adjustments proved that BC is far from a boat. However as you claim you backed the winner can you tell us why she was a better bet than last year, surely you being the oracle know the answer, plenty do without reams of C & P?

Btw had irons grand @ 10 been laid he would have made a few grand of free money laying it back, do you not understand exchanges?

It is not about trying to prove anybody being Billy Big Gonads,although that is your M/O.
You could have backed at 12.0 as I pointed out at the time on here if you actually had a funded BF A/C.
Instead you aftertimed a Fantasy Island bet after promising not do so.
You have zero credibility after countless lies on here(the 27 YO Blonde& Trumps Body Guard) being just two absolute belters.
Now,F/O and paint another masterpiece

Of course Delbert doesn't understand how BF works as he has an unfunded A/C,Glen.
The bet at 10.0 was to show the hapless loon how he could prove he actually had funds.

As said you can’t show anyone where you’d stated that you weren’t having a bet!

You’re both unsavoury characters with no credibility.

That is to type for you Delashay, as soon as you are exposed as clueless you revert to insults instead of engaging and giving answers.

Im losing more and more interest in flat racing as each season passes but I really enjoyed the KG yesterday. A proper race.

By the way if you all believe that she’s better than last year, fill your boots on her

The reason for backing her EW was stated above.

Delashay on 22 Jul 26 15:12
It’s brave to rule out Kaplana with her form lines, never been out of the first 3 there.

It could have been better had the others shown up with their runs and true ability but that happens.

I missed out on nothing Delashay but I know now why she was a better bet than last year, not before the race btw. Seems like you still have no idea why that was the case?

As you mentioned every runner with your endless C&P shyte you were bound to be able to point to the winner aftertime,as you invariably do.
I saw no logical reason why Kalpana would turn the form around from last year and wanted to see the actual ability of your "Slow Boat" for future races.
Delbert remains the biggest Bullshatter on BF

CagliariG • July 21, 2026 1:29 PM BST
Proof that if you are not cut and pasting you are clueless Delashay prattling on about 10f when the KG is over 12f. Minnie Hauk has won over 10f

Seems that you’re ok to insult? Make accusations?

Tell us all about that one race that Minnie Hauk won over 10F!

Please tell us all what you know oh wise one!

An unfunded one too.
15 months on here and cannot post a single bet says it all

Balding after the race,

"I felt she was better this year," he said. "Last year it was a struggle to get weight off her and this year she's trained leaner and lighter and we've just been so happy with her all along. I don't know what the difference is this year but that was probably the telling change to last year."

Even the trainer doesn’t know exactly! So please tell us all.

But as we punters aren’t privy to body weights we’ll have to take his word for that!

I’ve written that we should know this before each race as they do in Hong Kong it’s the greatest fiddle in racing currently being employed.

You answered your own point Delashay, that was not an insult, it was a statement of facts pointing out where you were clueless.hth

No sign of that being true.

Delashay  • July 26, 2026 12:11 PM BST
Please show us all from where on this thread you posted that you weren’t going to have a bet!?

No you make out you’re in the know and admitted not having much of bet but chancing the Japanese colt.

Only a day late Delashay, well done!!

Delashay • March 28, 2026 6:01 PM GMT
Great ride from Desuza on West Wind Blows, I thought the Godolphin pair were going to play their cards that way and try get first run on Calandagan. They never had it, wonder if they wished they’d run Rebels now?

Even if Barza didn’t raise the whip, a better horse beats Calandagan today, I’ll be against him from now on, (instant gut reaction) to seeing that.

Patience

But ahead of Caladagan backer since March!

So unlike you I stated more questions than answers but had a token ew. How does that insinuate being in the know?

From the Goliath thread of which there were two!

CagliariG • July 25, 2026 3:27 PM BST
Can't see him winning stewarts but a place not out of the question depending on how messy the race becomes. More questions than answers for the whole field never mind how tactics may affect the result. Had a token ew on MB as more upside if getting the trip but BC getting 11lb and if Calandagan still as good really makes it more race to watch than get heavily involved punting imo. Good luck, btw your Big Gossey has had a great year since you tipped him.

Now take your wisdom and criticism and carry on talking arbitrary nonsense Mr Token!

You’re a hypocrite to accuse someone of something that you’ve admitted doing on another thread.

That’s not only slightly devious but pretty much chicken.

Irons can C&P his day but not his quote from this thread where he ever did that there’d be no bet on the race by him!

As a non punting clown you don't get to tell anybody what to do

Anyone reckon they'll run Lambourn in the Lonsdale Cup at York ? Much better run yesterday and it looked like it would get further.

Love how AOB pre race when interviewed said he hoped all runners would get a clear run

Said with a straight face and zero sense of irony

TCat would York be his track would be my first thought. Deffo seems like a step up is in order.

Coys he hasn’t the sense of decency to remove his shades so not surprised!

Phil Cunningham when interviewed last week did.

Anyone thought if Botti regretted not running Gia yesterday? Has beaten the winner twice. Last and this year.

Can I just say as someone who posts infrequently this name calling stuff just gets us nowhere and stops people who might want to post about horse racing from doing so as nobody wants to be slagged off continually, maybe just stick to horse racing and cut out all the childish nonsense that's being posted, by the way no names mentioned, its just ridiculous on a horse racing forum to be doing this.

Que?
