Saw a good definition the other day
'Horse Sense' - that thing that horses have that stops them betting on people

Well done on Minding winning the Oaks
I wonder if it is possible she could run at Royal Ascot or maybe later on and go for the St Leger instead to try and achieve the Fillies triple crown |

Minding looks the best of her generation as the 3yo colts look a tad ordinary with a 20-1 outsider, Alamanzor, claiming the French Derby.

Another Frankel 'first' tomorrow
The first home bred for Khalid Abdullah, so the first to run in the green, pink and white silks as worn by Frankel himself, runs in the 2.40 at Haydock - Fair Eva. Currently 6/4 Fav |

I know it's very early days and won't mean much in the long run but .....................
But they turned out to be pretty useless* and Dancing Brave was shipped off to the far east The only one I remember now was because of the name................Dancing Brave out of Shorthouse and named Lowawatha................ ![]() * he did sire a Derby winner in Commander in Chief Another interesting note is that Frankel's stud fee is £125,000...................Dancing Brave's was £120,000 thirty years ago ! |

Fair Eva another impressive winner and another Frankel lookalke !
Interesting tomorrow......there's another Frankel running at Haydock called Frankuus On the plus side the 7F races for 2yo are now underway and the ones we've seen so far look like 7F would suit On the possible negative side this one is described as a grey and I notice that his damsire is Linamix who churns out grey horses Does that mean he takes more after Linamix rather than Frankel ?...... |

Another winner from Frankel and at decent odds of 4/1
![]() Not sure about the antics at the start but hopefully just a bit of nerves and "greenness" There was a lot of money for the Godolphin horse who never featured and finished 6th. He went off 7/4 F and Frankuus ended up drifting out to 3rd Fav by race time |

I think a lot of punters would have been very happy getting paid out at 4/1 !

Hayley Turner got an OBE in the recent Honours list
Not that I really believe in all that but I'm pleased she got something................what a smashing girl ! Royal Ascot only two days away. Surely Day One of the Meeting is the best single day's racing on Earth..................

I probably sound like a bit of an old curmudgeon but one thing that is diminishing Royal Ascot for me is all these Overseas Runners that they're desperate to entice every year
As soon as you have Overseas Runners (I'm not counting Ireland and France) near the head of the market in any race it becomes an automatic non betting event for me........time is too short to start worrying about US or Australian or Japanese form. I just skip the race and look at something else I know it's good for the World Game to have International competition and it's great prestige for the meeting to attract the top overseas stars but it ruins it as a betting proposition....... (although having said that.........I can't even remember the last time I had a bet on a Royal Ascot race as I very rarely bet on races with more than 6 or 7 runners) |

I bet tepin. 6/1 looked a good price, I thought.
Good winner. I stopped watching, or I would have bet Galileo gold as well. That was a fair price too. |

Hayley Turner coming out of retirement to take part in Shergar Cup day.
What a shocking call that is from everyone involved at Ascot. Should have given the opportunity to the up and coming and very talented apprentice Josephine Gordon instead. IIRC it was another apprentice, Sammy Jo Bell, who stole the show last year (currently out injured). Do they even engage their brains when they come out with these ideas? I mean will Hayley really be able to give the horses she's riding every possible chance when she's been out for so long? Lessens the meeting more than anything, and I know plenty of racing fans avoid it like the plague from a betting point-of-view anyway. |
