Royal Ascot 2024 Yankee

See Mountain Breeze is back out tomorrow under a penalty FF… form of her makden is working out with the 3rd winning and the 4th running well today in a deep race… win tomorrow in similar style and 9/4 will probably look good

6f today. What would be the Ascot target?
 
He’s priced about right for me… don’t really see what beats him?

If AOB is still in the doldrums, well doldrums for his high standards, in 4 weeks time, he could be higher that 11/8.

OK, expect AOB to start really firing on all cylinders by then but the yard isn't firing at all yet.
 
It's bold but I reckon they're doping in some capacity, everything seems so dodgy.

It's not that bold

Remember the feed situation for the obreins when they went to france

They probably all have some special carrots

Too much money in stallion making for their not to be some skullduggery going on in places
 
Elite Status a commonwealth cup player I reckon. 8s still seems fair.
 
He seemed to get a pretty easy lead

Doubt that'll happen in the commonwealth cup

Jasour is very talented
 
Not sure about that like. He's not even gone from the front. Just pulled his way there about half way through the race. Not shown any need to lead previously either. Can't see that being an issue at all.
 
Relief rally ran a nice race

She was the only one that made progress from the back in a race in which it paid to be prominent

Commonwealth cup is shaping up into an interesting race

Elite status won well today, was very taken with Jasours win a few weeks ago

And obviously Vandeek still to come who was a cut above last season
 
If people post all their strong fancies over the next few days il try to pick 4 for a Yankee Thursday or Friday before the weekends action

elmalka is a general 5/1 for the coronation stakes

Given she looked like she hated the track at newmarket and her run style Ascot should be perfect for her

If Opera singer were to fail to win the Irish guineas she'd immediately drop to 11/4-3/1 youd imagine

The other option is to back opera singer and hope aidan has her ready enough after the setback to win the Irish guineas

Do we want a banker Yankee or a bigger e/w Yankee or both?

Chain of lightning for the jubilee provided she stays with Moody as our sprinters are absolute shite
 
Upon being injured, if you believe Icy on twitter he's apparently been moved to Dominic ffrench Davis from varian

It seems to be True , story was in the racing Post news yesterday .
 
Is Courage mon ami alive?

Was expecting him to run at Sandown next week

One thing I don't like about gosden is he rarely tells us how his horses are
 
Chain of lightning for the jubilee provided she stays with Moody as our sprinters are absolute shite

Any update on this. When's she being sold?

Asfoora prepping for the King Stand in the Temple Stakes this weekend. On the theme of Aussie sprinters. Tempted to double the pair if Chain or Lightning is a definite runner :watermelon:
