2022 Flat Racing Antepost thread

Yes agree although he’s hardly going to need a career best to win he could run to the same RPR of his last run and that could still be enough win, so yes I probably would and Certainly at 9/4 (although I will defo wait for final decs and let the 9/4 go because AK comments are concerning). I think Saturday will be good to soft on a strip of ground that’s been unraced all season so If Alan king doesn’t run trueshan on unraced goood to soft it’s ludicrous.

On a seperate note, I can’t get away from Art power in the sprint cup, he’s a fresh horse this season and campaigned for the autumn with his career best RPR last race which is the same prep as last season. He came from the wing to place last year and has to represent some value at 8s with the likes of Rohan half the price. He’s a horse I’ve followed since a three year old, (perhaps some what of cliff horse in group 1 company however I strongly feel Saturday his best chance of getting that group 1) he’ll be hoping for some rain too!

He's like the beat the bank of sprint horses

I do like him though and if kinross doesn't run which I'm hoping he won't see him as the main danger to my creative force antepost bet, who looks a bit on the short side now.

Tenebrism at 6f would also be interesting

I hope you’ve seen a different forecast than me because I’ve been backing Trueshan for best part of 4 months hoping for his ideal conditions and bar maybe a light shower Thursday afternoon it’s not looking like anymore. Got a gut wrenching feeling that he’ll be pulled before Saturday and kept for France. Hopefully if they water the course over the coming days they forget to turn it off

And exhale...........

Never in doubt :glee:
 
I did not follow but a 50/1 shout is undoubtedly a lovely one! Well played. ​​​​​

Quite like Without a Fight and Allegron myself.

Would like a NRNB on Allegron though as he's running on Saturday and only set to run in the Cup if he impresses there. Might just have to take my chance at 33s though, and concede it could be another antepost non runner! Rather than risk missing the price...
 
Yes Benjy , i saw that this morning . too late for me as i'm on , but happy to take the risk .
I don't think Arapaho is guaranteed to get in either.
 
Read some Stat's on the Melbourne Cup last night . Interesting to see if they bear any Fruit.

Stalls 4 and 12 - the Most Wins .
4 y/o. / 5 y/o. do the Best.
Stalls 6 15, 23, 24. No winners since1983.
Mares do well in the race.

On the Back of that , you Lose a fair Few , I decided to chance Emissary @ 25-1. to go with the horses i have already Backed.
Edit . Gone in Again with Emissary . into 20-1. , but that's it , the one i haven't backed , but fear is Montefilia . 31/10/22.

Breeders cup juvenile turf sprint
love reigns 7/1

Won her prep race very easily and her trainer has won 3 of the 4 runnings of this race

The platinum Queen obviously sets a high standard but she is going to be in for a shock at the gates against these American horses. She will have to work a lot harder to get to the lead which will likely cost her at the end of the 5 1/2f.

Love reigns is probably a 6f horse and if she can sit handy enough will be finishing strongly.

A knocking bet at the prices imo.

Think that’s a very good price for her!

4th at Ascot was not that bad a performance either.

Aye, not against the Wesley Ward double with Golden Pal. Upset the two English sprinters somewhat.

Platinum Queen come an awful long way since Ascot though hasn't she!

Allegron out of the Melbourne cup after another shocking run yesterday then. Without a Fight my only dart at the cup now, and just a small each way play at that.

She looked like the 5f was a tad sharp for her at ascot, leading getting headed then staying on again

in fact watching it back she seemed to hate the track, rolling all over the place getting unbalanced likely because of the big open expanse on the straight track

So 5 1/2f round a tight bend should be perfect, something she is much more used to

And ward will be wanting winners since its at his local track

She will have been trained with this in mind all season, much more of an after thought for the platinum queen

Who will be having her fast start further than 5f and be working much harder to get to the front

Wouldn't be surprised if she's 3/1-7/2 on the day

Maybe even shorter once the live prices are up as I can't imagine many Americans will be siding with the platinum queen
 
Think Golden Pal blitzes Highfield Princess personally, his gate speed is a joke and he ran a track record in his prep run
