I slated the ride Tom Queally gave
Tiger cliff
at Royal Ascot as Tom knows to this day he should have won,todays Ebor victory only confirms that more actually as he came from off a faster pace today to quicken up like a ‘Supreme Nov hurdle’ winner!! Looking at him in the paddock and he stood out,beautifully proportioned horse who looked in tip top condition.Great result Joni like you say,Well done! By the way I’ve taken the 50’s on the machine for Cheltenham.Its bound to come up firm now!!
A couple of small bets tomorrow.
I will be disappointed if
Tiger Cliff
doesn’t go close in the Ebor. He has been laid out for this since Royal Ascot and a 4lb rise since that race looks manageable. The rain won’t have hurt his chances either.
Al Waab
could make it a good day for Lady Cecil in the Group race at Windsor. He returned to form last time out beaten only by a very good Godolphin horse that won a Group 3 easily next time out. He has Planteur to beat but you never know with that one.
I also like
Thistle Bird
in the Celebration Mile. She ran a stormer last time out and again a bit of rain won’t hurt. I have also backed
Stipulate
each way purely and simply because I would be furious if he won and I didn’t back him for once and he normally gets placed.
£50ew Tiger Cliff – 7-1 –
£35ew Al Waab – 6-1 –
£50 win Thistle Bird – 7-2 –
£25 ew Stipulate – 11-1 –
A great day and the Cecil horses did me proud. Stipulate might not have won but he would certainly have gone close with a clear run and he may start to show some of the potential I thought he had. Al Waab ran a blinder and will win a group race at some point. Tiger Cliff was awesome – simple as that!"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"

Thanks Gord. Alan King can’t wait to get his hands on him. I wonder if he might be a group class stayer on the flat though?

Credit where it is due – I’ve criticised TQ a bit recently but he has ridden two peaches on Tiger Cliff and the Cecil 2 year old Meteoroid today. Worth a look if you haven’t seen.

A single short priced bet today but I mentioned Seek Again the other week when I was at Newmarket. He looked a really classy prospect and has apparently come on a load from that race.
6-4 is very skinny but I think he is far better than a 95 handicapper so I’ll play.
£200 win – Seek Again – 6-4 Kempton 8.10

Well we may or may not have seen the winner of the Guineas yesterday. I suspect not but I was still impressed with Kingman and he deserves to take his chance in the Dewhurst. I think 5’s is a silly price especially when you consider Frankel was still 16’s after his second run! I mean that was Frankel – The Greatest Horse Of All Time!!! And he was 16’s! I also take on board Gord’s comments about JG readying them. I was at Newmarket the year Twice Over beat Raven’s Pass in the Craven – looking back at those two horses you have to ask – How did THAT happen?!!!!!
So maybe we didnt see the 2,000 Guineas winner YESTERDAY but we may well see him TODAY. You just watch this
Great White Eagle!
He is some horse this. I am already on at 20’s and expect him to be single figures after today.
The fillies race looks a classic and I quite like Clive Brittain’s filly to give the big two something to think about.

GWE won well but not as impressive as I had hoped to be honest. I am going to put my money where my mouth is with Razeena.
£50 win Razeena – 9-2 Curragh 4.15

That was good. She really looks the part this filly and looked bigger than the others to my eyes. No fluke about this win but doubt if we saw the Guineas winner.
Total £2,535.05

I take no pleasure telling you when you are wrong Joni!
I get great pleasure proving the Gingerone wrong though time and time again,I never tire from it.Anyway this Great white Elephant
has No chance of winnning the 2000gns,none simple as that and I need say no more than he’s just not Classically bred and that stat alone sees him beat! Sorry mate!
Well done withRizeena
today,she brought good solid 2yo form to the table and delivered,she wont improve over the winter like
Tapestry
though so I’m not bothered about her losing today in a rough race!I have to say you are to controlling your thread like a Gary Barlow, what I am to running amok on mine like Johnny Rotten.Good judge that you are,Well done mate!
Thanks Gordio and I must admit my confidence has waned somewhat after yesterday. I keep reading that not many horses do what he does at The Curragh ie coming wide down the centre of the track – so there is a chance it was better than it looked but what disappointed me was that he didn’t look to have improved from his first run.
I won’t give up just yet as you may see a better horse in a better race and he will be stepping up to Group 1 next time but I was a shade disappointed.

So with the rain now predicted to hit Leopardstown I think the 4’s about
Al Kazeem
has to be taken. The going may well end up good to soft and this would surely dent the chances of his three main market rivals. I am taking a punt on the forecast being right but, if it is, I think it is a very good price.
£200 win Al Zazeem – 4-1 – Irish Champion.
Meanwhile it is Joyeuse time again today! Fingers crossed she puts up an impressive performance.

We’re both on Al Kazeem Joni.
I was at Salisbury yesterday. Joyeuse is nowhere near as imposing as Frankel, though what there is of her is well put together. At the same stage of their careers Joyeuse is the more relaxed. There’s certainly some temperament in the family too. The filly reminded me of Noble Mission the way she won. Not "impressive", idled quite badly after travelling best. Better than winning distance indicates; although the runner-up is improving. Can’t quite see Joyeuse as a Group 1 filly at this stage, but is (imo) Group class.

A fair assessment I think Ginge. I saw her at Lingfield and she certainly seems to have grown since then. She looked to me to be a bit uncomfortable on the fast ground so I would think she would be better on an easier surface. I agree, on Thursday’s run, she looks short of Group 1 class but I wonder if you might see a much improved filly next time out.
Today is all about Al Kazeem for me. I am glad to see it has rained enough for him to run but would like a few more mills to make life difficult for his main market rivals. Will be interesting to see if the turnaround in form at York WAS purely down to the ground.
Elsewhere a horse I think is rapidly improving is
Royal Empire
and I have backed him to win the September Stakes. I wonder why they call it that?
£100 win – Royal Empire – 11-4 Kempton 2.20

I like this Ostaad in the next at Sandown.
