WOMEN – 38
ROW -33
GB -29
IRELAND -20Team GB draw a blank in the 3rd race and move down to 3rd position.
That was always the weakest race for the team and Team GB with 7 runners to come remain incredibly confident.
The women are putting up more fight than predicted but Ireland were the biggest dangers and we have a 9 point lead with 7 rockets still to be fired so we are really looking strong at this stage.Race 4 approaches and we have predicted our biggest points tally yet from a race.
The competition is getting serious. All 4 teams are within striking distance. Race 4 is hugely important. Responsibility lies on the heads of Fallon and Doyle. These are grade 1 jockeys we are predicting they will deliver.
Race 3 is team GBs worst race on paper. Happy to take 10 points out of this race and see an Ireland win.
Kirby and Doyle both have outside chances here. Do not rule out a Team GB victory though will be happy with 10 points.Final 3 races team GB have pure 🔥 so the team just looking to be within range of 1st place after this race.
Sublime from Fallon there to get 4th ahead of 5th. Rode to the line for the team. Only made 2 points extra difference but these points are precious when the final score is revealed.
Fallon redeems himself, Doyle playing a blinder. Kirby must be disappointed there but he will redeem himself and restore honour on the nation.Rest Of The World 21
Great Britain 29
Ireland 5
Ladies 25(Winner: 15 points
Second: 10 points
Third: 7 points
Fourth: 5 points
Fifth: 3 points.)CLEONTE was a huge disappointment but even without him Team GB take 1st place. Ireland looking in trouble already.
The Ladies delivered surprisingly with a 1st and 2nd.
Team GB are ahead and looking strong.You were wrong giving Ireland 4 and not 5 however it has been noted you corrected this error.
Great start for team GB. 17 point lead over the favourites Team Woman, 12 point lead over Ireland. Fantastic position, we are not concerned over ROW having a 1 point lead. Team GB are coming in hard on race 2. The team are confident of the winner here and we are fully expecting to be in 1st place overall after race 2 and saying Catch us if you can to the rest.
Fallon needs to up his game but Doyle and Captain Kirby rode with honour for the island of Great Britain.
Winner: 15 points
Second: 10 points
Third: 7 points
Fourth: 5 points
Fifth: 3 points.Tensions are rising as the first race on this historic day approaches.
Team GB have 3 solid chances here and anything less than being on top of the scoreboard after the race will go down as hugely disappointing.
The team are looking to score with all 3 horses here. Stone of Destiny for Balding is dangerous but if Team GB can get 1st place then The Shergar Cup is as good as wrapped up after race 1. The team are looking to score an absolute minimum of 18 points in the opener but if things fall right then we could be looking at a game set and match total of 32 points.It’s all about the points and that’s why we are standing with Team GB.
30th July 1966-7th August 2021
A period of 55 years and 8 days separates Great Britain’s two finest sporting achievements. England winning the World Cup and Team GB winning the 2021 Shergar Cup in splendid style.
Today the nation comes together once again and is united in sporting glory as the all star team of Fallon-Doyle and Captain Kirby mastermind a stunning victory at Ascot.

Balding is so masterful at this meeting that we must even respect his runners for the enemy teams today. All have very strong chances. Done a Balding lucky 15 with his 4 runners as a fun side bet.
CLEONTE 14/1 (GB)
GROUP ONE POWER 9/2 (IRELAND)
STONE IF DESTINY 6/1 (ROW)
STAR CALIPER 9/2 (GB)All 4 of the Balding runners will score Shergar Cup Points and they may even all win. Team GB have 2 of the Balding runners which tips the scales in TEAM GBs favour even more.
TEAM GB 2021 edition
The strongest Shergar Cup team in history. This could be barbaric on the scoreboard today. Forget about close team GB are away and gone.
Although this fantastic day is about The Teams there is also one outstanding individual bet on the card:
13:25 Ascot – EW – CLEONTE 14/1 (4 places skybet).
No trainer takes the Shergar Cup as seriously as Andrew Balding and all of his runners should go well today.
Balding has won the first race 3 times, the second race twice, the third race twice, the fourth race once, the 5th race once and the sixth race twice.
11 stunning Shergar Cup victories coming for Balding, the Shergar master has won every single race on the card. No trainer even gets close to this man on the Super Shergar Cup day. Boy he targets this meeting like a king.
CLEONTE hasn’t looked at his best in his last 3 runs in high quality races but he has been trained with this race in mind. He has now dropped back down to 87 which was his last winning handicap mark.
He has won twice at Ascot including this race in 2018 from a mark of 92. Loves this time of year and won in August 2016 and 2018. Ground looks perfect for him and has been layed out for this race. Outstanding chance for King Balding to enhance his already great record of The Greatest Shergar Cup trainer in history.14/1 looks a gift. Captain Kirby will lead his team by example and bring him home in first place and set up a day to remember forever the hero’s of Team GB🇬🇧
Ian the Shergar Cup is one day only, one race card of 6 races. To make a mistake on the best day of racing all year is a tragedy. Get today wrong and you must wait 365 days to right your wrongs. The team leave absolutely nothing to chance in The Shergar Cup.
All horses of all teams have been assessed in full.
The jockey stat is the key to this team GB bet being so fantastic because the course experience and the class of my jockeys will not only ensure the horses who should win do win but they will also pick up extra points purely on course experience and know how turning a horse who should be unplaced into a place and racking up points on the board as opposed to somebody like Micheal Michel Mikel who’s lack of course experience will turn a winnner into an unplaced horse.
To not be on board Team GB today is a disgrace.
Women:
NICOLA CURRIE – 3/51 at Ascot
HAYLEY TURNER – 17/246 at Ascot
MLLE MICHAEle MICHEL – 0/0 at Ascot20 wins from combined experience of 297 course rides.
What a ragtag team representing the women today. Hayley Turner used to be ok about 10 years ago, I thought Nicola Currie was the special at my local Indian and who the hell that M thing is I have no idea. Even before the horses have been assessed the women team looks severely handicapped on the jockey front. No wonder the top women jockeys like Hollie Doyle have shunned being a part of this shambolic team.
Compare this to team GB.
FALLON – 3/42
DOYLE – 51/422
KIRBY – 39/411Fallon is the best jockey on the card and he is backed up by group winning jockeys with tons of course experience.
GB 93 wins from 875 rides.
WOMEN 20 wins from 297 rides.The class and experience alone on the jockey side of things gives GB a huge advantage today. The bad news is the team GB not only have the stars in the saddle but they also have the firepower to sit on.
GB should be winning this event comfortably today.
When it comes to The Shergar Cup I leave nothing to chance and have studied in depth. GB good things.
Your day is destined to be dismal and disappointing if you are not with Team GB.
Blue is the colour.
I have blue jeans on, blue socks, blue boxers and a blue t shirt. I’m contemplating painting my face blue to help with the carnival spirit though fear I may have to miss out as I only have a blue bic biro to work with.
Skybet odds:
LADIES 7/4
GB 5/2
Ireland 11/4
ROW 100/30True odds:
GB 4/11
Ireland 6/4
ROW 6/1
Ladies 33/1You don’t need to be Colombo to figure out who the teams are. Just the ability to google search which colours are the teams was suffice.
Also for the pricing you don’t need to be Colombo. Just look at racing section of your bookmaker and click on specials and the Shergar Cup odds should be there.
The women are the favourites to win this is a horrific error as they should be the outsiders today. An intelligent person will take full advantage of this and go maximum bet TEAM GB 🇬🇧 💕
Today is about the winners but it’s about team winners not individual winners.
A totally unique and fantastic betting experience.
Loved by true fans
Snubbed by racing wannabe snobsWomen – PINK
GB – Blue
Ireland – Green
Rest of World – YellowIt took me some working out as it used to be GB&Ireland in Green and Europe in blue.
Fallon-Kirby- Doyle = Game Set and Match. Superb bet on Europe today. They should be well clear on points by the 2nd race. Ireland look the main dangers.
No wind up Ian. It’s genuinely my favourite day of racing.
Really enjoy the form study side of trying to work out which team will score the most points and then the fun of watching the race and hoping for the 1-2-3. Cheering on your team and hoping the rival team doesn’t run well.
Perhaps if you placed a bet on Team GB to win then you may actually enjoy the day and get into it.
I’m looking for my 5th successive Shergar Cup victory today. Everything has gone into ensuring I am on the correct team and today that is Team GB. No mistakes made.Compare the day to Cheltenham, having been bored half to death in the month leading up to the festival I then have to sit through an endless dull fest of boring handicaps to watch 3 highlights – The Gold Cup, Champion hurdle and Champion Chase. That takes 4 days soon to be 5 of being bored to tears waiting for 3 races only.
It’s all about The Shergar Cup – 6 races no messing about. We won’t see any group races but a group race is simply a low grade seller ran a few seconds faster anyway.
