2023 Antepost Flat Racing

Added kinross 25/1 to my tenebrism bet in the platinum jubilee

the trainer has said he will be making his seasonal reappearance at Royal ascot so this isn't his main aim

His main aim is to give frankie a win in the July Cup, the one British and Irish G1 frankie hasn't won

But 25s to me is still way way too big for the horse who turned the champion sprint into a procession

He lines up he's surely single figures
 
Have my eye on Marshman tomorrow. Think he's a good bet at 2/1. Some quotes from the article here: https://www.racingtv.com/news/bradle...s-for-marshman

“He was suffering with sore shins throughout his two-year-old campaign, which is just something that can happen with two-year-olds, particularly ones which come from the breeze-ups.

“So when he went downhill in the Middle Park I expected him to hang, but he hung more than I thought he would. He was keen at the beginning of the race as well and everything went wrong​.

“He is probably going to start over in France in the Sigy. It’s a Group Three over five and a half furlongs and that will be his target at the moment.

“Our aim last year was to make him a stallion and he was second in the Gimcrack when he looked to have it won. That itself would have been enough.

“But hopefully we are going to win the Group Three in France then we can look at races like the Sandy Lane (Haydock), Commonwealth Cup (Royal Ascot) and the July Cup (Newmarket). Those sorts of races will be his targets and the aim is to win as many Group races as we can.”

Thanks for flagging SS, helped myself to some of the 2s which was indeed a very good price :encouragement:

No worries. Just as I was about to stake more this morning when I saw he was still 2/1 he went into Evs, but still happy with that run.
 
Nostrum out of the guineas

Chaldean and noble style look set to take each other on in the greenham on Saturday

Appleby has naval power and mysterious Knight in the craven as it stands

The Foxes at 5/1 in the Craven is very interesting. I'm considering 33/1 for the Derby before Thursday too.
 
Noble Style swerving the Greenham. I guess Knight at 8/1 EW is a good bet. Anyone like any other outsiders?
 
Looking at the arc market and I think I've found an interesting one, Tunnes is a half bro to Torquator Tasso and if you ignore his run in the japan cup, he has been battering he's faced on ground that will most likely will come in the arc, I've had a little stab at 25s as a speculative bet

Yep, he's a very nice horse, looks like he'll be making his 2023 start this Sunday.
 
Coppice who's been well backed for the 1000 is out tomorrow. Very interested to see how she gets on.

Yes be interesting to see how she does

very happy to back fairy cross against her

She has race fitness, course experience and general experience in her favour

And she's a front runner which is usually very handy at Newmarket

I'd have them the other way round in the market for all the promise coppice may have

She's a half sister to calyx who was a sad loss getting injured as he looked a potential top class sprinter when you think he won the Coventry easily beating advertise who won the maurice de gheest, Commonwealth Cup and finished 2nd in the July Cup.

Nothing to scare Tahiyra there
 
Was quite impressed with the winner there to be honest. Quite a bit to like with a view to the Guineas

Tahiyra in my dream is going to remain unbeaten on way to winning the Arc but wouldn't be confident of where she'll run at all.
 
Without even considering Amo Racing's current form I think Mojo Star 11/2 at Newbury on Saturday is cracking value.
 
Heard on atr earlier in the week Wesley Ward was going to unleash a juvenile by Lady Aurelia out of Curlin, today.

American Rascal and he absolutely bolted up at Keeneland. Royal Ascot likely beckons, was 4 and half on the dirt hard held by 9 lengths or so. Likely be no price when the 5f races have markets but thought was worth a mention. Given his pedigree he looks like he could live up to the hype.
 
Aye he looks pretty good, Atr presenter was taken aback with how good he looked.

Norfolk or Windsor Castle you would think. Likely get entered 2/1 fav when markets are available :boxing:
