Cunco's race is up on YouTube now......
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Tn_JFRw8n4 Cunco is in the orange with light green sleeves and orange cap Talk is that he might go for the 7 furlong Chesham instead of the Coventry at Royal Ascot. |

They showed the closing stages of the race on C4's York coverage and Cunco looks a nice prospect but a bit early to get carried away. Seems hard to believe it is 4 years ago I was at Newbury to see Frankel saunter home in the Lockinge which looks an open contest today.
Meanwhile the Derby picture is pretty much close your eyes and stick a pin in the card and its the French 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas tomorrow. |

The French classics are being run at Deauville because Longchamp is being redeveloped
The Derby, Oaks and Arc will be run at Chantilly Must be a pretty serious redevelopment as it's taking 2 years.........

Very impressive winner.......Aidan O'Brien's 'The Gurkha' who only won his maiden at Navan a month ago Zoom.........now he's favourite for the Derby at 3/1 with Ladbrokes ! |

Newcastle stages it's first All Weather card tomorrow
whatever you think of the proliferation of AW racing the industry certainly likes it.......all 8 races tomorrow have 12 or more runners, though that could just be novelty value To be honest I'm not that fussed about Newcastle going AW as it's a track I could never get a handle on and tended to ignore the cards there |

Backed a horse last night when the odds were 12/1. £5 each way. It won. My total return - just £28, due to a low priced non runner I can only assume. I thought there was some mistake. BS

I just noticed that Irish !000 Guineas is the 2nd race on the card at 1.55
Can't remember a Classic being so early on a card before |

Minding gets turned over in the Guinneas. Guess that rules out all talk of the Derby

I took on Minding as well........with one of the big priced EW shots that unfortunately was a non runner
My reasoning was that Minding was being prepared for the Oaks so her training regime would have been biased towards stamina training and peaking in two weeks time........and she was stuck in the Guineas as a last minute decision because their intended runner got injured or had to miss the race for some reason I just figured Minding was vulnerable....... Given that it was a terrific performance by her ! You'd still have to fancy her for the Oaks unless that race has taken a lot out of her with two weeks to go If she fluffs the Oaks because it comes too quickly there'll be lots of red faces around Ballydoyle/Coolmore |

Japanese horse 'A Shin Hikari' is a possible runner and is now favourite for the Prince of Wales at Royal Ascot after demolishing the field in the group one Prix D/Ispahan in France today
Should ensure thousands of Japanese visitors........ |

Just goes to show how wide open the Derby looks when Red Verdon, a Haydock and Chester mile and a half class 3 handicap winner, is supplemented.

With 4 horses supplemented at a cost of 75K each the prize fund for this years Derby will exceed 1.5 million, making it the richest race ever run in the UK
As well Red Verdon, already mentioned, the other 3 are Cloth of Stars, Humphrey Bogart and Wings of Desire With 18 runners left in it could be the biggest field since 2006 Aidan O'Brien still has 7 runners in out of the 18 |

I posted this is in the football section, but the article also features horse racing.
I find it hard to agree with the bib Hopefully the publicity will cause them to re-look at it As a sport with one of the highest levels of concussion, it is alarming that much of horse racing’s research and approach is steered by Michael Turner, the former Chief Medical Adviser to the British Horseracing Authority. Turner has previously stated that “a concussion causes no damage to any part of the brain” which flies in the face of 99 per cent of neuroscientific opinion. He also saw fit to play a presentation of jockeys suffering nasty falls to a Benny Hill soundtrack at a conference on concussion. Turner is at the head of a study called Concussion in Sport which is funded by Godolphin, the all-powerful racing stable, and the NFL. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/...in-on-the-gam/ |
