2022 Flat Racing Antepost thread

[Benjy23]

Quite interested to see how Strad goes without Frankie to be honest. Hope Trueshan runs as well. Should be a good race but doubt I'll be having a bet in it, as things stand.


Gonna give Legend of Dubai a chance in the first race but that's about it for me so far.

Quite liked Sacred in the Lennox as well but she's short enough at the moment tbh. 7f probably her trip imo. Might hope for a drift...

It was final decs this morning Lobos

Everywhere is money back if hes pulled out now and rule 4s to all others if he does

Good news for punters. He's the only one who's shortened since final decs. Strad drifting along with Coltrane who I'd see as the main danger to Trueshan.

NRNB Only with B365 I think and they've been forced into 11/4. The other 3 big players have also been pushed out in the betting as well which is interesting. 7.4 stick reading so nicely on the Good side. Just a few small G/F patches. Light rain forecast tomorrow on top of watering overnight so he has a better chance of making it than at Ascot. King says he'll run on Good. Fingers crossed as we need him to run as he's the best around. Even 11/4 NRNB looks decent as I'm sure he'd go off a well backed fav ... possibly 7/4 ish ?

That'll be because he's been declared and its not ante post anymore so people will get money back if/when he doesn't run

The ground is gd/gd to firm in places as of this morning

Tower Of London was impressive, just not as keen as his siblings are proper boats.

Naval Power on breeding should get the trip and already talks of him being best over a mile.

If he's as good as Capri he won't be a boat

Capri won one of the strongest Irish derbies of recent times beating cracksman, wings of eagles and waldgeist.

Then one of the best legers of all time beating crystal ocean, stradivarius, coronet and melbourne cup winner rekindling

Probably a good sign that he has more ability than most of his full siblings in that he was speedy and forward enough to win on debut.

No bet yet but if he is declared in the beresford with Ryan on his back then il part with a few pennies

Naval power, desert hero and tower of london have impressed me

But far too early to have any kind of strong opinion

Highbank was very impressive on debut the other day too looking more like a guineas horse

How are people viewing The Derby market at the moment?

Aidan has a usual stack of Derby possible horses.

I quite like Proud And Regal for Donnacha however.

Good money across the boards for Trueshan this morning

Does anyone know anywhere where you can find the names of balloted out horses?

Westover sweated up pre race and was too keen early on

Obviously hasn't run his race

Was a dissapointing race with westover and mishriff throwing away their chances one by missing the break badly the other by boiling over

Yeah.
I'll give him benefit of doubt for now.
Hard race to assess going forward I reckon.

Pyledriver! Absolute piss poor set of 3 year olds, no surprise to me that westover faded away when his closest challenger was piz badile in the Irish Derby who's a grade 3 horse

[Benjy23]

Or maybe the 3yos are shite? Funny only game lad
