    Forced pretty deep down into single figures on Regal Reality now.

    Annoying situation yesterday when you *think* you’re well under one you fancy, then the ticker lights up with bets, you check Oddschecker and suddenly it’s a sea of blue around you and you’ve got your bum hanging out at top price!

    I’m there on Saturday and have had a decent bet at 3.15 and 3.0 last week on the exchange on Enable. There’s no way she goes off bigger than 11/8 with Crystal Ocean not running.

    Enable @ 3.15 & 3.0

    I’d like to see how MUSTASHRY would get on in this
    course and distance winner last year albeit not against the class of runners he’d encounter here
    interesting though as a 6 year old under the Stoute guidance stepping up in trip

    Kerrin booked for Regal Reality. Would’ve preferred the likes of James Doyle personally.

    Moore could potentially be off to American for this also. Just Wonderful is running in the Belmont Oaks and Cape of Good Hope & Blenheim Palace are in the Belmont Derby.

    Positive booking IMO.

    Give me Kerrin McEvoy over James Doyle any day of the week. Give me most senior pros over James Doyle, in fact.

    Clearly you aren’t a James Doyle fan then LS! Personally think he’s very good. Don’t know much about the Kerrin McEvoy, but we can trust Stoute! Surprised to read that it seems like Magical will show up here afterall!

    Where did you read that Jack?

    Because most firms have enable odds on now and magical is being lengthened, if she is running I would definitely want her to cover my enable bet as for me she would be the likeliest winner

    Over this trip, on this ground with race fitness I’d expect magical to beat enable tbh

    Even after that gruelling POW in soft ground?

    I can’t have her running to around 122ish so soon after that battle especially when that was her forth run in two months.

    Given how weak the rest of the field is I think magical beats them even running well below her best

    Which is why I’d like her as a cover for enable if running

    Though if she were mine she wouldnt even be entered in this shed be running in the king George

    I’d still be very surprised if obrein ran her again so soon if the arc is the main target

    Would be her fifth run of the season with plenty of big races still to come, though I suppose the first 3 were basically racecourse gallops against vastly inferior horses that woukdnt have left much of a mark

    Well i didn’t think there’d be any chance of her running tbh. AOB fansite said that Aidan said that at the weekend? I’ve been out’ve the loop as was on my stag!

    I cant see anywhere where he has said she will definitely run

    And surely if she was going to she would be 5/2-3/1 not as high as 11/2 in places given that a horse like regal reality is as short as 5/1 with some firms

    Some of them have enable at 8/11 which to me suggests they know magical wont be turning up

    But predicting whether obrein will run a horse or not is impossible

    I don’t know, but that’s what he said + tbh, they are completely obsessed with everything AOB so i’d presume he’s said shes a likely runner somewhere. Not that it will probably make much difference as you say, a week away things can change very quickly!

    You’re right, FF.
    Magical would be less than half her current price if an intended runner. Wouldn’t trust anything coming from a worshipping website without direct quotes. Enable is not priced up as if Magical were a doubtful runner, she is priced up as if Magical does not run. So although a slight chance Magical will run there’s currently a massive doubt.

    I think if Ballydoyle rate Circus Maximus’ chance (and really they ought to with the SJP figure looking surprisingly good and the big age allowance) then there’s extra incentive for them NOT to run Magical. It would be a commercial disaster for them if a relatively worthless filly* short-headed a potential stallion in a premium all-age Group 1.

    I’m cooling on the Regal Reality love a little having seen the figures with the Brigadier Gerard not looking as good as expected. I wonder if there was an error from the figures compilers in giving Matterhorn such a giant number in that race. Happy to be on e/w @ 25s don’t get me wrong, but no interest in the current price.

    *she’s a G1 winner already and will breed in-house for the next 15 years all being well

    If Circus runs I can’t see Magical taking part, LS.

    But Circus’s price is currently what I’d expect from a horse of his ability in this market. So suspect it’ll be the three year old running here.

    There’s the quote there. I asked AOB fansite to confirm as i struggled to find it too.

    Interesting that Seamie + Lordan are his likely jocks in USA so Moore stays this side on the pond.

    I do agree i’d be surprised if Magical turns up though.
