Royal Ascot 2024 Yankee

[Benjy23]

Going for an Elite Status related roll up today Adaay In Devon and Pocklington... :worked_till_5am:

A 9/4 winner and NR. I'll take that tbh :glee:

Highbury - Queen's Vase my NAP of the meet so thats my selection for the yankee, I like Celtic Chieftain for the windsor castle too

I'm on him at decent prices but just a note of caution, in the ATR (I think?) video call interview on his ascot lot, he mentioned Treasure Isle only for the windsor.

Obviously seen the quotes re. Celtic in the Kev Blake tour but thought it was intriguing he only mentioned TI in that zoom call. Could just mean he's the 'no.1' who knows, we'll see

Fantastic to hear:excitement:

Guessing he also mentioned Treasure Isle for it?

Yeah, said both were going for it

Whatever Moore is on will shorten. My guess is he'll be on Treasure Isle.

 

[HoldenTheReins]

Expect Highbury to drift with Moore on Illinois

Shall we all pick one selection across the week and also agree on a yankee for the week before tomorrows races?

Good pick, love the London Gold Cup form.

 

[Morley Street]

Opera Singer in the Coronation is my bet of the week… short now but can’t see her getting beat

 

[Morley Street]

What are folks thoughts on Highbury now… big surprise for me that Moore has overlooked him but only Lordon has ridden him to date so maybe that was a factor?

 

[Benjy23]

I'm in. Elite Status in the CC is all I've got to offer :barbershop_quartet_member:

Don't really mind it if he's good enough he'll win. The form of the maiden has worked out well. He's still my pick for the yankee

My only concern is if they use him tactically for Illinois

They have 2 other runners, so I doubt it

 

[HoldenTheReins]

I'll have mine down as Diamond Rain - Ribblesdale

I don't want to curse anything as my luck is ridiculously bad at the moment, only had 4 antepost bets and now vanbeek and white birch are out so add that to passenger and king of steel and I've had a nightmare !
