2023 Antepost Flat Racing

Thanks! My other bet in the race was Tahiyra at 20/1 (placed before her win against Meditate) so the finish was particularly enjoyable, even though Tahiyra would have been a bigger winner.

Get the feeling they are both potentially very good

With the established milers being so poor races like the Sussex stakes and prix jaques le Marois look like they are there to be taken by chaldean, mawj and tahiyra

Have to admire horses like mawj who stick there head down and have that will to win

Good to have Murphy back as well, he is very strong in the finish and that may well have made the difference unfortunately for my pocket haha

Lockinge will show what theyre up against. Modern Games was horrific in keeneland few weeks ago, I backed Laurel for it before she ran at kempton and looked pretty good and is very lightly raced I think she'll be very good this year

Agreed she is my older miler to follow for the season
 
Didn't sound like Laurel was heading to the Lockinge after Kempton. Although the Dhalia got a mention and she didn't run in that so may be a change of plan. But agree she's one to keep an eye out for this season.

Tahiyra didn't really look like she needed the mile and a half yesterday :welcoming: Full credit to Mawj and good call from SS. Think she benefitted from a fitness edge and Tahiyra will turn out to be the best of the three year olds long term though.

Likely mawjs experience won the day

Only tahiyras 3rd start

she will be going in my tote 10 to follow
 
NEW YORK THUNDER @ 33/1 e/w Commonwealth Cup

Really impressed with this lightly raced colt by Nyquist who's probably gone under the radar here.

Fingers crossed AMO Racing USA can get him over for Royal Ascot.

He has run and won on turf but here he is flying on the Tapeta at Woodbine :onthego:

Thanks SS, nice odds but unfortunately I don't have an account with them.

Just noticed ATR have written an article on him as well so not so much under the radar now.
 
Added Highfield princess at 5/1 for the king stand to my royal ascot bets

Highly impressive in her 3 group 1 wins last season, especially in the Nunthorpe

Just a question of waiting to see what the aussies and americans send over as she was comfortbly the best in europe over 5f

Also found this quote on laurel

An outing in Group Two company appears to be next up for Laurel with Gosden senior earmarking either the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket on May 7th or the Ridgewood Pearl Stakes at the Curragh as potential options ahead of an engagement at Royal Ascot. Gosden added: “Ryan has given me two options so I’ll be scratching my head but I’m clear with what I’m doing with the first one.
“The Duke Of Cambridge (at Royal Ascot) is an obvious target but talking to Ryan it is what we do between then and now.

Aye, that was the quote I meant. Dhalia already been though. So Ridgewood Pearl or they've ignored him and are going Lockinge. :beguiled: Not an antepost proposition for me there though. Gosden has Inspiral as well who's favourite for the Lockinge (and Duke of Cambridge to be fair).

Laurel 5/1 for the Duke of Cambridge, although not many have that market yet.
