Brilliant shout antepost from Kev with Khaadem who is one of two for me here. As he rightly says, the horse is a very strong traveller which is a huge asset for this race. I think the 15/2 (7 places) last night was a fantastic bet Each Way.
Also played Gunmetal @ 12/1 (7 places) each way as I thought he ran a cracker at Ascot to win his race (so to speak) on his side but was simply on the wrong side for any chances of him winning.
Khaadem @ 15/2 E/W
Gunmetal @ 12/1 E/WIt’s unusual for me to have only one in this, but I am sticking with Raucous again at 33-1 7 places.
I’m on 5 horses, Lake Volta and Justanotherbottle are just savers.
Main bets Khaadem (I backed him to win the Group 1 Commonwealth, so have to here).
Flavius Titus the other main bet (improver). Done Growl each way first 6, rarely wins, but should get something back. If (as I expect) the far side have an advantage. Lake Volta should take them over to the rail. Unlike last year, when I could only find a couple of front runners (backed winner at a massive price – my best result all year) seems quite a lot of prominent runners. I’d be against the high numbers, not much pace there.Value Is EverythingWon very easily.
Superb race by Raucous with young Fallon on board, had he been on the other side I think he would have been a close 2ndAfter a proper struggle all week that’s given me some kick! Off out for some beers to celebrate 🍻
Totally agree, Viktors. Only horse in the top 7 to be drawn in double figures.
Value Is EverythingWell done all winners, especially Kev, Venture + Tin Man for stealing all those early prices.
Well done guys with Khaadem, he won that really well. Apologies to anyone else who backed
Summerghand, as I mentioned above I seem to be the kiss of death to Ryan Moore when I back
him. He managed a late running on place, but (as with Vivionn that I mentioned) he seemed
to find trouble from what looked a good position. By the time he got out of it the bird had
flown. Anyone who knows me on here will know I’m not a jockey basher, things happen in racing
and I accept that, but for a great jockey, and he is a great jockey, he does occasionally seem
to find trouble when (to my untrained eye) there was no need for it. Maybe he’s just having a bad
week, although he did get a win on Governor Of Punjab on Thursday, despite getting in a bit of a
mix at the start. Moan of the day over
Well done all those on Khaadem, he looked the winner a long way out.
That was a great early price Kev.
