Can’t remember who the 1st goalscorer was Nathan, it was possible it was me but
I can’t find any bookie giving odds on me
Lol Graham..😅🤣😂
Enjoy the footie today guys and rooting for England.
My son said that Italy played a good game too. So might even be tempted to watch if England v Italy was on the cards.I will be looking out for some nice eyecatchers at Newmarket on Saturday Andre and will report back on Sunday..let’s hope we are all counting our cash from Royal Ascot and there are no major upsets, although there are bound to be a few dreams crushed.
Did you read John Gosden saying his 3yo crop is not up to much this year and he is relying heavily on his older horses for the big prizes. The way his season is going at present it seems that could be the case.The Godolphin swap situation is dire for me as at least 6 of my stable have entries at high level I don’t want to swap those ones out yet so it leaves me with 3 or 4 to swap in.
Problem is that Godolphin are targeting top level French races and winning them also on the International stage where Essential Quality has shown his brilliance. We are all concentrating on the UK Classics where we should be incorporating more of the overseas action but it’s difficult when you are unfamiliar with the opposition.
a real headscratcher.I guess we just play the game with our own tactics and see how it pans out. At least we still have all our swaps.
You’re right Graham heads will be spinning with all the comps this week..but most important thing is to remember to get your choices in.
Off to look at what’s left of today’s cards..Godolphin already had a Listed winner at Longchamp this afternoon and two chances at Group 2 Level running soon..it is a very difficult competition but lots more to come and as Andre says we just have to be patient.
Best of luck..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I will have, at most, four runners from my Godolphin stable at Ascot this week, with four horses that still haven’t run a race. Such a tough comp, with plenty of good runners in France and at least one (Essential Quality) running in the US. I need to find some information on more of their runners outside the UK. That maybe the key…. or not
I did not see that article about Gosden’s 3YOs – can’t say I’m really surprised though.
Hope you found a winner or two late in the day Jac.
Stay Safe Everyone, don’t forget to get your picks in for all the comps and Good Luck.
I didn’t back any horses yesterday in the end Andre thought I would save up for the big 5 days coming up.
Been picking my compy horses in the sunshine this afternoon and what a great days racing it is tomorrow my favourite day of the whole Meeting .Just about to put them on and hoping no non runners..
What an opener with Palace Pier and then can anything beat Battaash this year?& no Glass Slippers she runs later in the week but there are a few new kids on the block after his Crown.
Good luck all and enjoy your Road Trip with your daughter Andre..hope you get time to catch a bit of the action.
Oh yes the Godolphin Comp..I’m sitting on mine at the moment as have 6 or 7 that will run this week so see how they go.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...My horses for day one at Ascot
BAATASH 4/1
GISBURN 10/1
Chindit 14/1Nor be watching Ascot tomorrow or Wednesday because I be on Centre Court at Queens watching the Tennis be 1st time see Andy Murray and other good players to so can’t wait
I went against both Palace Pier and Battaash for the points in the comp but expect both will win. I took a chance with my nap on my girl Rachael in the Ascot stakes. Picking winners sitting in the sun sounds good Jac – hope you find a few!
The trip to Arizona & road trip back will be fun, with average temps around 115F (45C). We’ll have a good time regardless
Good Luck with everyone with all your bets.
Have a great time at Queens Darren!
I’m hopeful I can have another decent run with the same bet I had at the
weekend, 1 E/W accum and 4 E/W trebles. Two have run and both were placed,
Chindit 11/2 and Elesian Flame 16/1. I’m being offered 60 quid with Solid
Stone 4/1 amd Sadier 100/30 still to go. I think they have a great chance of
being placed so it would work out quite tasty. Fingers crossedDecent race by Solid Stone who finished 3rd. Cash out is now £150.29 but I’ve no intention
of cashing out, hopefully Willie has got Sadier in a good enough state to take a place here.
He’s shortening to 5/2 at the moment which is encouraging. It wouldn’t be a colossal pay out
but it would make it a winning day.Well thank goodness Skybet were 5 places, I thought for a horrible moment he was going
to be 6th. Anyway, alls well that ends well, trebles £474.36 the accum £264,60. So a
return of £759.36, profit of £659.36. The accum I did on Saturday, which paid a good
bit more, was an unusual bet for me as I don’t normally do accums, doubles or trebles,
but I think I’ll fling in the occassional one until it starts to go pear shaped.On the train back home now loved the Tennis today saw Andy Murray win also Dan Evans win to with Dennis Shapalov.I be back there tomorrow with Murray vs BERRETINI who top seed the atmosphere should be electric tomorrow
Also after Matteo BERRETINI won he walked past me not unable to get a picture with him but he not to blame security guard with him to.
Hope you guys had a great Ascot today no luck for me
Day 2 bets
Ante post bets
WORDSWORTH 7/2
LADY BOWTHORPE 3/1
RUTHRIN 4/1Good luck guys
BigG not forget US open golf this week
Better luck tomorrow Darren. Battaash just wasn’t the same today but will strip fitter next time. He might be missing his regular handler too, horses do like their routine..ask AOB.
Glad you enjoyed the Tennis did you keep checking in on your Mobile to check out Royal Ascot at the same time as keeping an eye on the tennis?No winners for me today but a nice 2nd in the Kings Stand with Arecibo 28/1 (I got 40’s this morning
) He was flying from the back it was a terrific ride from Jamie Spencer and a career best for the horse. 
Looking forward to seeing Love tomorrow against Lord North I’m hoping she can do it on her first run this seaeson.
Tomorrow looks much harder to find winners than today but I’m hoping Frankie will win the first again on the American raider Artos and I’m very sweet on Maydanny in the 5.00 daughter of Attraction.Fingers well and truly crossed.
Hope the road trip continues to go well Andre and that you caught some of the action today.Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Rough day in the Ascot comp, after getting Lope Y Fernandez points in the first.
Looking forward to seeing Love tomorrow too Jac.
Great E/Way Accum again Graham.
Keep it going mate.Glad you enjoyed the tennis Darren.
Made it safely to Arizona, have a couple of days of finishing packing & cleaning in the heat. Then we hit the road early Friday morning.
Stay Safe and Good Luck Everyone
Cheers Andre and best of luck today
Going with my competition runners again, I’ve got Desert Dreamer in
the 1st as my nap I hope she goes wellDesert Dreamer 12/1 Bet365
Also backed my reserve
Crazyland 50/1 7 places Skybet
I’ve Done an accum Desert Dreamer is the 1st so hope she can at least
fill a place.Good luck everyone
Well that didn’t go well, it looks like high numbers are going to have
a distinct advantage in big fields, the group on far side with Desert
Dreamer never got a look in.On centre court watching Fognini vs Cilic no luck at Ascot
BigG golf starts tomorrow not seen your bets mate
