Thanks MoM for the January Yankee.

I did like the idea Quevega highlighted that there is a ln angle into a yankee for horses who may shorten after this huge weekend.

Any suggestions?

Le Richebourg will go shorter for the Arkle after tomorrow is my starting point ...

Quevega can have the final say if he wants ... or I'll do it if not ... or vote.

Will need to act quickly though!
 
I did mine ew the other day.

Al boum photo 14-1 b365
tiger tap tap 14-1 b365
klassical dream 14-1 b365
derrinross 20-1 b365

went with derrinross simply cos it was still 20-1. and wated horse that would potentially go from double figures into mid single.
could substitute with Dunvegan now derrinross not declared.
 
Did a version earlier too - you could just pick Rubys rides in Grade 1s...
 
Le Richebourg - Arkle
Road To Respect - Gold Cup


They’d be my two shouts

Yeah that's a very solid pick.

Could be favourite for the Supreme by Monday.

I almost am expecting it.

I'd give him my vote too

funnily enough - current prices for respective races this weekend, but won't be far off the same for the festival equivalents should they win...
ABP is roughly 9-2
tiger tap tap 11/4
Klassical dream 3-1
Dunvegan 9/2

lots of ifs and buts and wishful thinking, but thats the best bit more often than not int it.
 
Dunvegan for Bartlett not Ballymore, cant decide which one i want to back him in

part of reason i went derrinross as he only declared for bartlett, (might only run if softish)

I couldn't tell you which dunvegan would go for as I have backed it any race as a single.

If I was to have my best guess, then if Dunvegan won this weekend I'd say the more tempting and glamorous race for a smaller stable would be the ballymore.
