    Royal Ascot Day 1

    Dawn Rising has managed to get himself down to a mark of 100 which qualifies him for the Ascot Stakes (0-100) after 2 hopeless runs. Has a very good record at this meeting winning the Queen Alexandra in 2023 off 102 then finishing 3rd last year off 105. This has surely been the plan for him this...

    Royal Ascot Day 1

    Haven't fully made my mind up yet, waiting to see what the conditions will be but I think Field of Gold could get done again by Ruling Court or Henri Matisse. Theres only around 2 1/2f left after they straighten up from the bend and if both kick from there he may too much to make up on them...

    On delacroix - not sure you'd use a 2.5 length win over an unexposed well bred maiden winner as a stick to beat him - I'd be more concerned that he won't stay well enough (though we don't know if the sort of race that would show that up wouldn't do the same to ruling court either I guess) True...

    2025 Antepost flat racing

    I just don't understand why Ruling Court is not fav for the Derby. Guineas form well and truly franked the weekend. I'll be waiting until the day itself at this stage but I will be all over him. His current 121 rating is the 2nd highest in the past 10 years going into the race and will have no...
