Royal Ascot 2019

Just been watching LoS and Oisin Murphy just put up Fox Chairman as his bet of the week in the Hampton Court Stakes after riding a piece of work yesterday.

8/1 widely available.

I'm all over this as well. Have been for a while + Bangkok will go up against Japan. Cape of Good Hope a bad fav imo.
 
Backed 4 for Tuesday so far.
Mustashry 6-1 - should be favourite on my book so underestimated by books
King of comedy - 8-1 - a really good film and a horse that just looks like it has a lot more to give and is at his best at the line. Uphill finish should suit, but tough race.
Snow Falcon - tough race to judge really as many ratings out of date, but looked in useful form this jumps season, good jockey and 20-1 for top rated (or close to) is underestimating his chances.
Well of Wisdom- 15-1 . Looks godolphins best chance to me and I’m not sold on the market leaders so taking a chance this green horse can step up, and again the slight uphill finish and flatter course may help
 
Backed equilateral as well.
Can’t make mind up about front three but battaash may struggle in the last half furlong.

Faugheen, he has been my Banker Bet ever since his Chester run, and I have been hoping for a month that he was declared for the Hampton Court Stakes. Took 11/1 Price Boosted with Laddies as soon as any betting was released, and also got him at 8/1 in a couple of multiple bets too. Haven’t seen the Oisin Murphy interview yet, but that’s interesting given Oisin’s connection with the Balding stable, and what his own book of rides would look like and given Silvestre De Souza will have the ride. Happy with the news, now in to 6/1 best price. Fingers crossed he lines up and has a fair run in the race to see what he can do.
 
A longshot that I have backed for Tuesday is Gunnery. I have the 50/1 as soon as Jamie Spencer jocked-up at 5-day entries riding for Hendo. Looked back though his videos from his flat runs plus his recent run over jumps, and thought the price would be too big.

Generally 20/1 after final decs, but Betfair/PP took a stance at 50/1 for a short while this morning, now cut to 33/1. I still think that’s a good longshot bet with PP giving 1/5 the odds for first 6 home.

He seemed very confident. I jumped on the 8/1 (got some boosted @17/2) and ew doubled him with Good Birthday (my nap) for same connections.

Will look up Good Birthday now. What impresses you with the horse to have him as your banker?

PP/Betfair have now dropped Gunnery to 20/1. Best price now 25’s with WH.

I think he's a very well handicapped horse who will improve even more when stepped up in trip.

No Visionari in Coventry! Happy with that as an Arizona backer.

Agree that Arizona must be the 2yo banker of the meeting especially with AOB record in Coventry.

I'll deffo be getting on the Fox. May do him in tidy EW double with Mustàshry as both nice prices and look bankers for a place with big chances of winning.

Now we know he was pissed up, how much notice should we take ??:very_drunk:

It depends whether you think people tell the truth after a drink or not.

I'd go with truth more often than not, although often prone to exaggeration also.
The worry is if he was drunk whilst riding out. As he might think the horse was flying :)
And who knows which horse he was riding, could have been fox champion, who can go fast.
anyways, he's fucked up big time, silly lad.
 
A little bit of perspective is needed here we don’t know how much he was over and given the jockey limit it half that of driving it could be a tiny amount

i was messing about.
but to fail a test at dinnertime on a raceday ain't best result 2 days before ascot when leading the jockey title.
he's either had a shitload saturday night or a drink this morning. unless there's some other explanation they offer up.
