York Ebor Meeting

[robith]

I'll let it see what the rain is doing, but I'm using betfair's £20 offer on the 1:45 to back Mubaalegh at 44. And hey, if it wins I won't need that free bet hahaha

 

[ComplyOrDie]

I said earlier I've been living off the form of the listed race Franconia won at Newbury in June, Cabaletta that day (who'd beaten Frankly Darling on debut) was just under 4l back in second went on to win a fillies listed race, also at Newbury, the third that day was a horse called Makawee (who was conceding 11lb) beaten 3l.
Makawee goes today (3.45) in an ultra competitive 2m handicap, the 40/1 on offer is an insult, I'm shocked she's not less than half that price.

Darts also landed on:

1.45 Arecibo e/w 6p 15/2
2.15 Praise of Shadows e/w 10/1
2.45 Subjectivist e/w 18/1
3.15 Kameko e/w 5/1
3.45 Makawee e/w 5p 40/1
Blue Laureate e/w 5p 33/1
4.20 Pink Sands e/w 4p 5/1
4.50 Toussarak e/w 4p 12/1

Good luck all

I really like Blue Laureate too Ista, big old price that one, especially given the prices of True Destiny & Rajinsky, whom it has close form ties with and is weighted to go close against them again.

To be fair CoD previous form can't always we taken as read, they're not always asked for their best efforts if you get my drift.
He was a definite trier last time but hit traffic in the Goodwood straight and was effectively pulled up, disappointing the handicapper hasn't taken a pound of two off but they thought he could go very close that day and this race doesn't look any harder.
Had a speculative play on the forecast too BL and Makawee...

 

[Mulldog]

1.45 YK: Arecibo
2.15 YK: Darvel
2.45 YK: Darain
3.15 YK: Ghayyiath
3.45 YK: Blakeney Point
4.20 YK: Lady In France
4.50 YK: Cairn Island

No, of course not, but I suspect dropping back down to 2m will be right up his street also, looking at his two runs over that trip this season so far. I just think 2m 4f is too far for him at this level.

It is "different gravy" at York.:applause:

York’s great!

Had my stag doo there last year, tied in with the McMillan Charity race day they do every year.

 

[Lobos]

Will just be watching today but Mogul does look overpriced at 2/1. Kameko will love the distance and the tow behind Ghaiyyth.

 

[robith]

Love Pyledriver!

 

[Middle_Of_March]

Come on Magical!!!

 

[Quevega]

He’s the boss
Old Ghaiyyath

 

[Middle_Of_March]

He’s a freak. No excuses. She’s ran well but beaten by a superstar. Made the right decision to have a saver on him in case he was a proper superstar. And he is.

 

[BigChaang]

Did it Very Nicely . !! .:applause:.

Nice place money there thanks Ista

 

[YoungHustler]

What a terrible day. In losing 15 points, today has been the worst monetary loss that I have ever had. Not even a placed horse as nearly all my bets are EW. Lets hope the week get better! My bets tomorrow.

1.45 - Sacred W 9/4
2.45 - Sir Busker EW 7/1
2.45 - Montatham EW 8/1
3.45 - Gold Wand EW 6/1
4.20 - Mayaas EW 4/1

 

[darlojim]

Backed Sir Busker and One Voice both ew tomorrow (singles and a double)

Noticed scooby has tipped them up too so hoping he has a bit of a turnaround in form! :encouragement:

I will Love it if you're both wrong with One Voice.

Evening all. Should be a great week. Not sure what it is about the Ebor meeting but it’s my lucky meeting almost every year on the flat. Fujaira Prince wins the big one Saturday I think. Definitely a group horse in a handicap. Albeit a good handicap. Would love to see my lad Art Power win a group 1. Will be cheering him on but beating Battaash will be tough. Here’s another wild one for you all.. Frankly Darling in the Yorkshire Oaks at 10/1 each way (2 places). Have a gut feeling she’s miles better than that Epsom run. Agree with the post above that Sacred will win later in the week.

No big bets really on Day 1 although I’ve had a decent play on Magical with saver on Ghaiyatth (7/4 boosted with Skybet fwiw - only £20 maximum stake though).

Day 1 bets:
1:45 – Came From The Dark @ 20/1 E/W (6 places)
- Aracibo @ 7/1 E/W (6 places)

2:15 – Royal Scimitar @ 5/1 E/W
- Praise of Shadows @ 11/1 E/W

2:45 – Darain @ 7/2

3:15 – Magical @ 4/1
- Saver on Ghaiyatth @ 7/4

3:45 – Here And Now @ 12/1 E/W (5 places)

4:20 – Lady In France @ 10/1 E/W (4 places)

4:50 – Pure Dreamer @ 11/2 E/W (4 places)

Good luck all

Lady In France saves the day at 12/1 SP

Roll on tomorrow..

Makawee came from a near impossible position today and may well have got up had there been another furlong in the race, but she ran a very creditable face, so with a related link back to Franconia I think that qualifies as another form boost.
Love is clearly a freak of her generation but Franconia is too talented, and her form backs it up, to be 8/1 tomorrow.
Two and three places looks a max play for me...

 

[darlojim]

I will Love it if you're both wrong with One Voice.

She was a class apart in the Oaks and looked incredible indeed for all that the oaks form hasn't exactly worked well upto now.

There may only be One Voice happy tomorrow if I am right

 

[Saxon Warrior]

Love Pyledriver!

That was a really solid performance.
3lb penalty, stalking from the back and easily picking them up.

Nothing he beat there will be bettering him at Donny.
I'm guessing most won't bother going.
