Royal Ascot 2024 Yankee

Elite Status looking better by the day! Might leave him as my only proper bet at Ascot :beguiled:
 
Space Legend was an eyecatcher yesterday at Goodwood, where Marquand got blocked. I see he is only in the only early entries for the King Edward VII Stakes on the Friday. Same distance.

Be interesting to see what handicap mark he gets

He has king george v 1m4f handicap written all over him
 
Extremely impressed with that from white birch

Rodin is better at 1m4f but he's beat him hollow
 
Just listened to an interview with the new Chain of Lightning owners. Staying with Moody but 'probably unlikely' to go to Ascot... Hopefully Moody can convince them.

Thought that was a lovely first run back from Opera Singer… 11/2 for the Coronation looks a bet

Definitely be happy to take on fallen angel

The curragh heavily favours prominent runners so she very much had the run of the race

Ascot can be the complete opposite with the stiff finish allowing the hold up horses to rattle home

I'm on elmalka and ramatuelle and am hoping they will be the ones coming home strong and late. With fallen angel and opera singer there to be shot at.

Surely they will play ramatuelle later than they did in the guineas

And elmalka will be making ground hand over fist in that final furlong

Looks one of the more interesting races of the week and at 4/1 the field youll get paid nicely if you get it right

Looks like she's been taken out already :biggrin-new:
 
Passenger out of royal ascot

Had been flying this week but given a good chunk of it back today then read that when i get home for the double kick in the nads

Him at 9s was the only antepost bet iv had that looked shrewd :boxing:

Away next week and don't normally get involved with Royal Ascot but may just try for a bit of Melbourne Cup payback from Vauban.

10's looks far too big against Kyprios who may just be on the decline imo.

Caius Chorister (33/1) & Trawlerman (16/1) the two for me.

I, too, have not been hugely convinced by Kyprios so far this season.

I'm also doubtful as to whether the two in behind him in the betting will get the trip, so I've looked further afield.

You may be right re Vauban not staying and I had the same reservations but I've watched all his races back and he does his best work at the end of his races on the flat and over jumps. His performance at RA last year was arguably the best of the whole meeting and if he's in that sort of form again then he'll take some stopping. He desperately needed his last run but still put up a good show without being hard ridden. That will definitely have brought him on and Willie will have him spot on for next week and he absolutely loved the course when hacking up there last year on his only run at Ascot obtaining the same RPR as Kyprios did when winning his Gold Cup. I couldn't resist the 10's and have had a nice punt on him . It'll be my only bet of the week but hopefully a winning one.

Know someone who went to Mullins stable to have a look around, and he did say that that Vauban main target was Ascot Golf cup and he seemed quite bullish.
