If his next stop is the QEII, I feel he will be tough to beat (depending what AOB sends over).
Whatever AOB sends over, Clints.
Winter would be a great smash up…..roll on Ascot I say
Another quality Group 1 performance from Ribchester. Had he of beaten HCW at GG he would have been around the same odds as Cracksman was for the Niel today. A penalty kick that he has converted nicely.
This morning Ribchester was trading around 11/10 – personally I dont understand that when his last race can have a line drawn through it (didnt run a great race himself and conditions were appalling). Prior to that he was in scintillating form.
An easy win for the punters in my opinion.

Couldn’t agree more. Poor ride from Barzalona. Could and should have put that race to bed a furlong or so out but got himself well trapped in. I really like this horse and reckon he’ll bounce back.
Havent been on here for a while. Couldn’t agree more that it was a strange race and not sure what to make of it.
On the one hand, he did win comfortably (in the end!) but in victory he hasnt really beaten much competition.
Looking at the field and the fact this was on home soil, I couldnt believe he was trading around 13/8 this morning.
I got 6/4 and am hoping my double with Ribchester comes off
I thought September was ante-post fav for the chesham but apparently I’m wrong. I agree steve you’re not the BS type although there are plenty of them on these forums, they tend to be rife with slimy aftertimers.
maybe you should provide a laying service
I think it was favourite before September ran in Ireland and then Clemmie appeared in the Albany betting, although I could be and probably am, wrong. Thats usually the case anyway haha!
I only have half an idea as I bet Clemmie for the Chesham at 7/2
I know that Sky bet are refunding on Growl
Yes, sorry I meant to say that certain firms have given money back but they were not obliged to. This horse has to be a non-runner. When the gates opened he was on two legs! Im sure the rules state hes a runner but come on that was ridiculous.
PS I didnt back the horse just feel sorrt for those that did and didnt get their money back.
“Feel sorry” yes. But where should the line be drawn?
It was borderline, but the jockey was on the horse when the gates opened.Should it be that the horse needs to come out of the stalls with the jockey still on board? Might be better…
But if so, does all the horse need to be fully out? What about the tail?GT – from the replay ive seen, when the gates opened the horse was on two legs not four. Yes the jockey was on but mid-air so had no option but to fall off. For that reason it has to be a non runner.
I agree about your earlier comment. To be an eligible runner the whole horse (inc tail) should leave the gate.
You mean Clemmie was 7-2 for the albany or the chesham?
I thought alpha centuari was always fav for the albany….
It doesn’t really matter Judge. Nathan has confirmed the fact and I would never lie.
Clemmie was ante post fav for the Chesham Stakes at 7/2. Great lays Mr Caution

Not sure if its been confirmed or not but on ITV they advised that Growl was deemed as a runner. Punters have not had any value for money. The horse was on its hind legs and they opened the gates. Hanagan had no chance of staying on the horse.
Well played those on The Tin Man. He ran a blinder.
Away from all the drugs talk, i thought it was a fantastic performance.
People questioned whether she would train on as a 3YO but her comeback performance at Keeneland was really impressive and was under yesterday’s jockey, John Velazquez.
She faded at Newmarket as, in my opinion, it was over an inadequate trip (I appreciate shes won over that distance before) and like a lot of brilliant horses didnt really handle that Newmarket dip. Just look how well Barney recovered yesterday and broke the track record.
I was amazed she drifted to 4/1 and for those that are saying she had an unfair advantage,surely that was the reason to plough in?
Good luck everyone with your picks today.
Unlucky MoM – I joines you and went for the course record bet….oh so close
However I was on ante poat at 6s so more than happy. She’s an absolute machine…so surprised she even touched 4s.
Poor Brian Gleeson, struggling with talking to Sheikh Mo, awkward silence
Poor Sheikh Mo.
Awful questions I thought.Surprised they bothered interviewing him anyway
Solow has had a setback and will not run at Royal Ascot.
I don’t like it when horses get problems a second time. I’d be ruling him out of coming back anything like his peak now.
Surprised to see Ladbrokes still quoting the horse at 5/1, and Coral at 9/2, Freddy Head said last week that Solow will not be on a racetrack until September or October, if at all this season.
I’ve gone with Ribchester instead. I think he could be short if he wins the Lockinge. 7/2 looks good enough for me.
Ribchester 7/2 He may just be pretty skinny by raceday.
Cheers pal -I backed him thanks to you. New course record too
Bad news for us Lady Aurelia fans. I’d much rather have ‘Mr Ascot’ Frankie Dettori judging the fractions than have Johnny ‘Mad Dog’ Velasquez at the controls.
Cant help but agree with you here although im willing to give a chance. I was wondering whether he’d make it or not.
Not good news either for those who backed Frankie as top jockey, with or without Ryan.
I don’t get the stamina issue… looking at her last two runs the best part for her was the final part of the race.. also she’s by Frankel out of midday. Midday finished 2nd in the Oaks and Frankel never raced over 1 mile four but I’m sure if he had he wouldn’t have had a problem and all his progeny seem to stay really well.
bigger issue seems to be the form isn’t that great but who cares she’s an improving michael stoute 3 year old, that’ll do for me
you’re right clints she shouldn’t be 5-1 she should be 1.01
Not long to wait and find out Judge. Wish I had your confidence
As much as I don’t think Mori is a world beater I really wouldn’t want to lay her as she doesn’t appear to have anything to beat. Just some Oaks also-rans.
Wouldnt surprise me if a rank outsider won it. Im saying lay the price more than the horse. Clearly everyone is entitled to their own opinions. She is bred well but doesnt represent value for money at 5/1 based on what shes achieved so far. If she goes and wins comfortably at 5/1 or shorter I will happily eat my words
5-1 is hardly 6-4 though is it…
Judge – we are just going round in circles here. Yes its not 6/4 but as ive said, i dont feel 5s is a fair price for the punters. Im not on anything so if youve backed Mori I certainly hope she wins for you.
I didn’t know she was still racing Joni.
She fractured her pelvis in the Prix Marcel Boussac and it had looked as if she never came back quite the same after that.
Antonoe’s debut remains one of the best I have ever seen. She went out that day and destroyed them. People said she had probably beaten trees and that can sometimes be the case. However, the second filly that day, beaten a cosy six and a half lengths, was none other than Qemah, who won two Group 1 races last season.
I feel that Antonoe would probably have been a 120 plus rated filly were it not for the injury and I really felt she was going to go out there and beat Ballydoyle in that Boussac.
If only there was a ‘like’ button. However, I had my money on Ballydoyle ante-post so was happy that she won, although was very, very nervous about Antonoe. Shame that she got injured but hopefully on the comeback now.
I would recommend the Arc day to anyone who fancied it. Not too difficult to get to and usually great racing.
