I had backed My Dream Boat ante post, so not the best start for this. I’ll try and
claw some of it back with Stoute’s second string ACROSS THE STARS at
16/1. He’s looked decent at times, but hasn’t been quite in top form recently. If Stoute
has him back in decent condition I think that’s not a bad bet.Got my place money but really feel that Chemical Charge would have gone close if he got a gap. No fault on the jockey, just unlucky.
It’s not been Stoute’s week. I laid several of his this week and the punters just didn’t learn, going in on his Khairaat at stupid odds of 3/1 in the Wolferton, only for it to run like a scabby donkey.
Darlington was the only one of his that I fancied this week and he was disappointing. He struck for home but was very tame. Ryan had praised his battling qualities but he folded like Mike Harding’s squeeze box this afternoon.
Idaho was yet another O’Brien one not at the races on his debut and a mile further on next time. It seems an accepted, cynical process that brings success time after time. You can’t stop their Juggernaut.
Yet another William Haggas runner who couldn’t get the job done in the bigger races. The trainer said Dal Harraild would bounce off the ground and that not many of the others would like the going today. The horse went out like a light and Haggas should consider selling his top hat and tails, as the invisible man of Royal Ascot and the Classics. 4 wins from his last 20 runners, the Haggas inmates won three maidens and a handicap between them.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
