Royal Ascot day 2

[FinalFurlong91]

Bloodbath for me on day 1 but still plenty of time left

Looks really hard tomorrow

Only bet I have is luxembourg at 12/1 and after today will be keeping my powder dry on the rest

Hopefully Ryan can get to the front and stack them up in behind

Any strong fancies?

Most the horses I gave a shout to in the day 1 thread finished 2nd so I'm carrying on in the hope of going one better :biggrin-new:


Like you say looks very even more difficult. Can't pick between the top 3 in the PoW (which probably means something else wins) but you've got a nice price there.

​​​​​​​
Jumbly looks a fairly decent fav imo.

Astro King getting the compulsory Hunt Cup bet.

And as mentioned elsewhere Peking Opera going to carry a bit of my money tomorrow. But Gregory winning be fine for my antepost Leger bet. Any other results be a disaster mind...

[FinalFurlong91]

That Duke of Cambridge looks a conundrum wrapped in a mystery

the only one I couldn't have is queen aminatu who is 5/8 on the all weather and 0/6 on turf

So she will probably win now :boxing:

I'm a little surprised prosperous voyage isn't favourite being 3lb clear on ratings

2nd in the fillies mile
2nd in the guineas
Won the falmouth

But I can just see one of the others beating her

In short I have no clue

Sorry for wasting your time if you read my pointless ramblings lol

 

[Lobos]

Peiking Opera looks a right AOB improver and can continue Ryan's brilliant start to Royal Ascot.

They also now seem to know how to ride Luxembourg. The money behind him is ominous.

 

[Tickety Boo]

Had a nightmare start day 1, so hoping for better outcome day 2 . My Lucky 15 and Patent are:

Got To Love A Grey 2.30
Indian Wish 3.05
Peking Opera 5.35
Bombay Bazaar 6.10

Grande Dame 3.40
Bay Bridge 4.20
Chasing Aphrodite

Good Luck to everyone else who's having a we try today, fingers crossed :nevreness:

 

[YoungHustler]

A winning first day as managed to have Royal Champion but disappointing that so many multiples went down with Highfield Princess not winning.

Main betting race for me today is the Royal Hunt Cup and I'm happy with my bets on Ghaly, Astro King, Blue For You and Point Lynas.

I'm hoping the form of the York race works out for the last 3 selections as have gone for Croupier and Northern Express in the 18.10 tomorrow.

Good luck everyone!

Aye, Bless Him is the ideal type for a hunt cup to travel like a dream and finish about 6th. He'll be one of my other each ways.

Had a decent look at the Queen Mary earlier. The two I was going to give a chance to were Out of the Stars and Onigiri... But the three American runners are difficult to weigh up and all seem to have speed (as usual), and be drawn high. And there's a few others who like to be on the pace that are drawn high as well. Which concerns me with my two being low. The French filly with Ryan Moore booked also has potential from a slightly higher draw, if there's any cut left in the ground. Tricast it is :welcoming:

 

[ComplyOrDie]

As per yesterday and only for small stakes fun, my day 2 bets are as follows:

3:05 Adelaise 7/1 E/W
3:40 Jumbly 5/2
4:20 Mostahdaf 20/1 E/W
5:00 Bless Him 25/1 E/W, Dawn of Liberation 331/ E/W & Orbaan 40/1 E/W
5:35 Gregory 7/4 (hoping he bolts up as I have him for the St Leger @ 33's)
6:10 Maximum Impact 13/2 E/W & Ganesha 40/1 E/W

Best of luck everyone :victorious:

[That Horse]

4:20 Mostahdaf 20/1 E/W

I can't work out why he is so much bigger in odds compared to the others. They are all much of a muchness and all come with health warnings so I thought he was an obvious play.

Only had one place and no winners yesterday so nobody listen to me for your own sake layful:

 

[Glasgow Ronnie]

Lucky 15 for today including extra singles
2.30 Midnight Affair 8-1
3.05 yerwanthere 9-2
5.00 Blue for you 10-1
6.10 joannes Brahms
Hoping for a better day today

I'd imagine it's because his 3 group 1 runs have seen him finish 12th, 20th and 4th

I'd say his rating is a tad generous and the others are currently more proven at the level

But he's regally bred being by frankel out of a dubawi mare and a half brother to 2 time group 1 winner nazeef

i backed him to win this race last year but he got thumped by bay bridge in his prep race and ended up in the hardwicke

So sods law he will win the race the year after I backed him haha

So sods law he will win the race the year after I backed him haha

Happens way too often for my liking lol

I had evidence right in front of me yesterday about Triple Time before the race yesterday. I was sitting with 2023 and 2022 versions of Mark Howard's Ahead on the Flat.

2022's book had Kevin Ryan waxing lyrical about Triple Time but that he needed time to grow, etc and he had him down as his horse to follow.

Of course, I only read this after the 1st race :boxing:

 

[FinalFurlong91]

Stands side: 7.7
Centre: 7.5
Farside: 7.5.
Round: 6.6.
Readings taken 8am, Wednesday 21st June​

Slight ground advantage for the high draws on the straight track today looking at that

 

[Morley Street]

Vauban made it a good day for me yesterday… only one bet today Yerwanthere… very unlucky last time and love the jockey booking

 

[parimutuel]

Crap day yesterday winning shag all except my River Tiber doubles are still live for Friday anda: so just a few for today.

4.20 Luxembourg 5/2

6.10 Johannes Brahms 5/1

Maximum Impact 6/1

 

[Zachx02]

hard as hell day, for me

small stake trixie of

intellogent - hunt cup
my prospero - princess of wales
supersonic man - windsor castle

 

[FinalFurlong91]

Cracking race to watch that

2nd very unlucky her head fully back americans horse fully down as they hit the line

She was essentially a head in front but lost

 

[Zachx02]

draw bias is ridiculous on the straight course

 

[Benjy23]

draw bias is ridiculous on the straight course

Exaggerated by the pace angle. As I mentioned earlier was likely there.
