Cumani horses FLYING. Forte Dei Marmi bolts in all day long.
Oh dear i hate to be a party poop Zarkava but i reckon an 85% fit
Al Zir
can still win this,i dont think for one minute we have seen the best of this horse and he always had the build of one that would develop as he matured,i like him a lot and always have done.
Al Zir
£300 win 10/30 Bet365,3,20 Goodwood.

Hello king, hopefully you’ll be collecting off Barney McGrew today. Willing to give him another chance also. Fingers crossed. If he doesn’t come in, good luck to your other pair.
VTC,he is more than capable,his Meydan form stands up and his Ayr Gold Cup form is rock solid,Ancient Cross wont see which way he went if he runs to the above form,i know its a capital IF though,if you know what i mean!
My idea of a Royal Hunt Cup winner,
Man of Action
, (Galloping straight mile)!makes his seasonal debut over a sharp turning 7f today and is drawn wide,whatever he does today he will improve for and hopefully see his Ascot price (20/1) contract,My idea of todays winner is
Balcarce Nov
,he has everything in his favour to make all and at 12/1 is worth an e/w interest.

£50 e/w Hunt Cup 20/1 Tote

Oh Gord, Al Zir’s horribly overrated. Hoping Man of Action gets trapped wide & does nothing, nice warm-up for next month
I like taking on these so called foreign superstar sprinters in this country at short prices,Scenic Blast was a fine example.I dont know how good this ‘Budapest Bullet’is but i know how these Hungarians can exaggerate,i have tasted their Goulash and having been told that a 1000yrs ago it was made from horsemeat i can see why
Overdose
runs so bloody fast! I like the way Tangerine Trees is progressing,he proved it was no fluke beating Captain Dunne and Tax Free at Beverley by going on to win his next 2 races at Newmarket,however i’m going for a horse who has been knocking on the door lately and i reckon his turn could come on Saturday,particularly if the Bullet goes off like one and sets it up for
Prohibit
,he is a solid e/w bet imo at 16/1.

£100 e/w 16/1 Stan James, Temple Stakes.
7/4 Dubawi Gold,dont make me laugh.Yet again the bookmakers have priced a race with a false favourite just to draw the Gullible Red Chalk brigade into their clutches.Both
Roderic ‘o’ Connor
and Dunboyne Express are different class and will prove it in Saturdays Irish 2000gns,i could understand Dunboyne being fav as he beat Roderic easily on their debut but my assessment of these 2 Irish colts was that the former was a far more precocious 2yo,i can see both going further in time as 3yo’s and i believe if the real Roderic turns up on Saturday he wins.

Well read Zarkava,i like strong opinions!
I have been enjoying Richard Hughes weekly contribution to Saturdays Racing Post,he has been very candid and open about his opinions on racing matters,his views on the Clerks of courses today was bang on,however he read the race tactics of todays Irish 2000gns perfectly on paper and yet in reality he rode a stinker.Richard expected Roderics 2 pacemakers to set off at a rate of knots setting him up to hit the front 2 out and then cause havoc for his own mount as they form a wall as they weaken out of it.Richard should have realised as soon as Joseph decided to make his own running on Roderic that he needed to be closer,that was a tip in itself,anyone who saw Roderic run against Frankel in last years Dewhurst would know he wasn’t going to stop today,then again some took their meeting in the 2000gns as gospel,i doubt whether Richard will get the good nights sleep he was hoping for after that,he’s in for another potential nightmare riding Presvis tomorrow,i hope he gets the dream run he needs personally as i like the way he talks.By the way Joseph rode an absolute peach of a race and those who backed him had faith in the decision to let him ride.
Its been a busy days racing and one or 2 eyecatchers for Royal Ascot have been noted.The horse who really impressed me today was
Prohibit
,he is still improving and today showed he is not out of place in a Group 1.Victor Chandler are still offering 40/1 about this fellows chances in the Kings Stand and have taken my £50 e/w at the price,the stiffer 5f at Ascot will suit even more and he should get the cover he needs,i reckon Frankie will get the ride and he should be able to commit him late,if he repeats todays finishing kick (Something Kingsgate Native wont) he wins! Watch that 40/1 dissapear overnight now The King of Ante-Post has spoken!
Prohibit
£50 e/w 40/1 Victor chandler, Kings stand.
£3325
I have given Victor Chandler notice that the King will make a stand in the race named after me and he obviously wants to stand his ground too,respect to the man,but if he continues to put up 40/1 about a horse who is half those odds everywhere else then i am going to take them.I see nothing in this years Kings stand to put me off this still improving 6yo who some seem to forget is purple bred by my favourite owner Prince Khaled Abdulla and his Juddmonte organisation,a son of the flying

Not a good day yesterday, but I got a little bit silly at the end and it cost me. Still up based on Friday though, which I suppose is the main thing.
Forte Dei Marmi simply not good enough. Al Zir very poor – of his sire’s, Medaglia D’Oro, best progeny, 19 of the 24 are fillies.
I actually did 3 bets in the Temple and ended up getting the tricast. Except I had them all in singles. I really fancied Sole Power at the Guineas meet so I wasn’t surprised at all to see him bolt in. He’s not overrated and finally he’s proven how good he is.
I kept posting on twitter at how sick and tired I was about hearing about Overdose. Overdose this and Overdose that and some people were even calling him value! Value! At 3/1! The reasoning for people to back him was beyond embarrassing.
Roderic O’Connor got a great ride (well done, Gord, couldn’t have had him) but let’s not go overboard – he’s won the worst Irish Guineas in well over a decade. And he shouldn’t have.

Couldn’t agree more Zarkava,it certainly makes up for at least one of those photo finishes that went against me! Dubawi Gold showed he is progressing the right way and the St James Palace stakes is his obvious target next,Frankels bubble will pop sooner or later,he’s a fruitcake who gets his own way!
Lets have a look at this Irish 1000gns then,- right, Wild wind beats Laughing Lashes in June and Together beats Laughing lashes in July,Ok,Laughing lashes goes on to beat Misty for me in early August before Misty for me beats her in late August with Together 4th and Wild wind 5th but Together then finishes in front of both Misty for me and Laughing lashes in the 1000gns! Easy its
Misty for me

Just backed Misty For Me myself Gord, got 9/1 with Ladbrokes about half an hour ago. She was the most fancied of the stable at Newmarket and I’m hoping she’ll show why today!

Good luck Tommy,its reassuring a good judge like yourself fancies her too,i just think she has the most improvement of the O Brien horses,obviously thats if she has ‘come forward’ for her run in the Guineas as Aidan loves to say! Her Group 1 winning form is solid,i do fear Together most mind.particularly with Ryan on board.
