    July ‘25 Yankee

    One I was going to mention for the June Yankee but we had already had Marine Nationale mentioned for the race, and I went with him instead, was Jango Baie @ 33/1 for the Champion Chase. Seems a huge price for an Arkle winner, knowing the record, not only of Arkle winners going to the Champion...

    June Yankee Selections: Lulamba (Arkle) - It was only a few months ago I was telling everyone how 5 year olds don't win the Arkle anymore, and whilst I was right, thanks to Majborough disappointing, I can't help but feel Sir Gino would have absolutely hosed up for connections had he made it. I...

    Yeah, I figured it would be a difficult month. So much being up in the air for a fair of the horses, knowing targets etc... A few snippets to go on, which I've kept back for the when the final selections go up. Thanks for attempting to get discussion going though, appreciate it (y) I think...

    I think they got the tactics / ride wrong on Final Demand in the Turners, and I think they've said as much since. His win from the front at Punchestown was the real Final Demand. The New Lion certainly has a better turn of foot than Final Demand, but it wasn't Champion Hurdle worthy, IMO. I...

    I'm not mad keen on The New Lion, myself. I'll leave him alone as @Faugheen_Machine has already included him in last month's yankee. Unfortunately The Yellow Clay is a difficult horse to tie down to a race. Has there been any word from Gordon about his future yet?

    June ‘25 Yankee

    Was reading @Saxon Warrior diary yesterday, all very interesting (as to be expected) and I was wondering if he'd be happy to do one of the yankees based on his well thought out and written analysis?

    Of course, makes sense. Final Demand (BANC) @Kautostar & Marine Nationale (Champion Chase) @Benjy23

    Just bumping this. Obviously with Royal Ascot on, the likely focus on a NH Yankee bet is at a bare minimum, but I've decided on two for the bet already, which have been mentioned by other members, so need two more. I'm keen to add one of my own selections, but will see how it all plays with...

    Royal Ascot Day 1

    Poniros needs 10 to come out, I think, doesn't he? Is that likely? Ryan jocked up on the Kings horse currently probably gives us a clue as to the pecking order, albeit Ryan used to ride for the Queen a lot.

    He is under serious consideration. I was looking at this market earlier today and it's proper ropey, IMO. Final Demand looks made to be chaser, and one for 3m, so he, at this stage at least, is looking likely to be included.

    Royal Ascot Day 1

    Won't be long until this years Royal Ascot, so thought I'd re-ignite this thread. The other 4 days also have threads, rather than setting up new ones, for anyone that is having a go this year. Queen Anne Stakes - Sardinian Warrior 10/1 Coventry - Postmodern 13/1 & 6/1 (shameful after timing, I...

    Unfortunately, due to how early it is and limited markets we are going to have plenty of crossovers of races covered by these Yankees, unless we head into novice hurdle territory, which I'm keen to avoid. Just looking at the Yankees so far, we've only had three done and we have the Arkle, BANC...

    I know, not convinced it will be up in time for the end of June and even if it is it will only be a select few.

    June ‘25 Yankee

    I'm reluctant to even go down the novice hurdle route for the Yankee, to be honest. It's looking as hard as I can remember for them currently, IMO. I've compiled a list of races below to target for this months Yankee, so hopefully we can have a few opinions on these. I appreciate some of them...

    June ‘25 Yankee

    As @Kautostar has said, we are still awaiting an update on his well being. I'm sure he'll be fine but you never know how they'll come back from an injury. I also have reservations about which race he'll end up in. I've actually backed him at 40's for the Ryanair, given his run style and the...

    June ‘25 Yankee

    I tend to always go E/W, so we will go down this route. No real theme, although had considered a 'return of the kings' type yankee, the likes of Constitution Hill, Galopin Des Champs & Teahupoo, but this narrows down the selections a lot so decided to knock this on the head. Throw your best...
