    Thank you Mr Reliable aka Richard Hills you have just got me out of the black hole from yesterday and now i,ll get my Playstation 3 with the proceeds :)

    13-2 for Aqlaam was a stupid price for a horse on the up,Gonna be one for the future on that hot run!! I see Frankie made a wise choice on the second.Favorite was very disappointing IMO.

    Can’t believe the price on Majestic Roi. It must have a better than 4 or 5% chance of winning the 3.05.

    I tell you something i feel sorry for Ryan Moore,s girlfriend/wife as that jockey is far too early to peak !!! he should have held her up and went way too early.

    good to see C-P-L get his first proper Royal Ascot winner though.

    Is it that stunning that Duke of Marmalade is 5 lengths better than Stotsfold?

    what a perfomance by the Duke great win

    Great perfomance, and what a ride by Johnny Boy! He knew well before the home turn he could get boxed in, so eased out and had a perfect position swinging in. Moore tried in vein to keep him in, but Johnny was wise to it.

    Wee Willie Carson was on the money – he said last night before going off the air that this horse was a "penalty kick" – Claire Balding had to contradict him before the race, and he was proven right. It now transpires Johnny told Willie in the car park yesterday that the Duke is the best horse in Ballydoyle – so to dismiss this form as useless is a tad harsh – especially since Finsceal Beo did her bit for the form yesterday. Good of Willie to pass on the info as well – he may not be a master of broadcasting technique but he is usually spot on when he says a horse cannot be beaten.

    i was thinking the same watching it that he could get boxed in, great ride, he was on Irish radio this morning and he gave a confident view of race as much as not saying it will win!!! just need Yeats to come good tomorrow

    Oh dear, Bankable, the good thing, gets turned over. Has to be the draw effect doesn’t, as he was the best of those drawn high. Got a bit agitated but nothing too serious, so has to be the draw I think.

    Agree

    Hunt Cup reflections:
    Another top performance from the small men with small brains. Noone can tell me that there has been an obvious draw bias here this week, yet all 30 geniuses come stand side. I predict 1) Everyone will now be banging on about a near-rail bias 2) If anything has the guts to stay far side in big fields they’ll be competitive.

    Perhaps not, dj, but he’s crucified Phoenix Tower and Pipedreamer and done so with relative ease.

    It was no good thing Firefox – easy to say afterwards but I did allude to it beforehand if you read my earlier post.

    Everything looked in his favour, but I just couldn’t get away from his last three wins being on good to soft or softer – only his maiden win was on anything resembling today’s fast ground.

    I’m not saying that is the reason he got beat, but for me he was always opposable at the odds and Docofthebay (what does he have to do to win a big race) looked great e/w material.

    Agree. Very reminiscent of 2003, Attache and all that.
