2025 Antepost flat racing

Joseph has one in the first at the curragh today

Owned by lady aurelia, campanelle etc owners

Didn't cost much as is by supremacy but he did win the Richmond stakes and middle park as a 2yo

Maybe worth keeping an eye on since the owners love a royal ascot winner and can't recall them having many with UK trainers

Obviously aidan also has a likely type and Joseph has another that cost way more

His other horse won by 4 lengths after substance was a non runner

Maybe one to put in the tracker since he was first string on jockey bookings before being pulled

French 1000 Guinneas interesting like. Got to feel a bit of Shoemark as well after the time he's had recently. And connections. Can't see that being thrown out over here at all.

Barzalona slapping his mount over the whip limit an interesting sub plot as well
 
There is an absolutely brilliant video of basher watts watching the race on youtube

Absolute pure emotion

Feel like if you swap connections and she's perfect was a French trained aga khan horse they wouldn't have changed the result
 
Very early arc darts for me

Cualificar - 50/1
Parachutiste - 100/1
 
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 issues seeing out the trip based on breeding.
The Lion in Winter still has to prove himself and people are getting carried away with the performance of Delacroix who beat Purview 2 1/4L having had the benefit of a run.

Agree BHM, which is why I think Moore will choose to ride the Lion and the Derby will turn into a rematch of the Acomb

Completely agree that he should be fav and have been backing - really can't see how he's not shorter on the day when aobs plans settle. 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)

On the lion in winter - my biggest thing with him is that I have it in my head that they don't usually send their better 2 yr olds to the races he went to (I'm probably wrong here and there did seem momentum behind him over the winter 🤷‍♂️)

True, then I'll go on the fact that he's by Dubawi whose yet to sire a Derby winner. Should have added that to my original points.
They don't stay !!

Took the 50s on Ridari myself… fancy him to come out on top of those that ran in the Poulains, could be another Vadeni

Fabre has supplemented one for the jockey club which gives you a free supplement to the arc if you win it, and it looks a machine - Sinileo, will need to be a win today kind of bet probably but he's definitely on my radar as they've fast tracked him

Yeah I was looking at that today… most unlike Fabre to supplement such an inexperienced horse… will have to cover

Backed him this evening, but only for the Jockey Club.
 
Croix Du Nord @ 66/1 for the Arc

Backed Croix Du Nord ahead of his Derby challenge on Sunday. If he gets to Longchamp, one drop of rain will wreck his chances but if it's dry he could be the horse that finally wins the elusive Arc for Japan
 
Decided to pull the trigger on RULING COURT. 9/2.
I can see him going off shorter now that TLIW is a big drifter, will he even run now ?
 
Some big prices with Hills on their Jockey club . Arc special doubles: Ridari 150, Sinileo 125. Cualificar 250
