2022 Flat Racing Antepost thread

[BookieBasher]

Looks like she's been taken out, unlucky. ATC taken out as well, so that race is cutting up a bit.

Kyprios out of the stayers and a bit of rain about, so could see Trueshan going off short enough there.

Will have a proper look through when RP actually bother to update the cards.

I hope you’ve seen a different forecast than me because I’ve been backing Trueshan for best part of 4 months hoping for his ideal conditions and bar maybe a light shower Thursday afternoon it’s not looking like anymore. Got a gut wrenching feeling that he’ll be pulled before Saturday and kept for France. Hopefully if they water the course over the coming days they forget to turn it off

It's a fair point Benjy and one I don't have a scientific answer for. However, it is my hunch that her run at the Curragh was intended just to keep her ticking over before her main aim for the season on Champions Day. According to RPRs, it was 5lbs worse than every other performance she's put in over the last 12 months and I can't help but feel that she hadn't been trained to peak on the day. Obviously, if she's regressed and what she produced last time out is now all that she's capable of, she's got next to no chance. However, given Twomey's comments before the Curragh run about her end of season target, I remain quietly confident that she'll be fully tuned up next weekend and capable of giving weight away to what is, in my view, a moderate crop of 3 year olds.

Super impressive again wasn’t she! 11/8 now

Got 6/4 on sky, mental value wish we could have odds like this for cheltenham

[Morley Street]

She's ridiculous mate! If she isn't odds on when the market comes back for the distaff im getting more on

Hope you’re right Zach, she’s been one I’ve been chipping away on since running second in the Belmont. Malathaat running against Letruska too later so the market will get a shake up for sure

Nest running tonight at Belmont at the Big A, I just cant look past her in the distaff albeit she is quite short for it as things stands but the division is just so weak compared to her, and I would not be surprised if she wins by 10 lengths tonight and goes odds on for it

Prix de la foret
Kinross 4/1

Breeders cup turf sprint
Golden pal 4/1

Ascot champion sprint
Creative Force 6/1

3 iv had for the end of the flat season

Golden pal back to his best winning his prep race

Covering the 5 1/2f in just over a minute

Hope a few took the 4s

Can't see how he loses, Highfield princess will not see which way he goes in the first 3 furlongs

Maybe I should've had a trixie on those 3 selections

Kinross won easily at 6/4, Golden pal is now 6/4-2/1 and creative force is 3/1

One of my only bets on the flat really apart from the occasional muggy acca at the weekends……I’ve went on Gibraltar for WPM in the cesarewitch 20/1 with 365.

Its max field of 34 and he’s on 34 so a couple coming out pretty much guarantees a run. He’ll be bottom weight as well. Has won twice on the bounce on the flat. Hoping for a decent run for my money.

A shrewd price taken

Justique @ 4/1 NRNB 365 Chandelier Stakes on Saturday.

I've also backed her AP @ 5/1 for the BC Juvenile Fillies

Edit: Not entered for the BC

[Appreciate It]

Was there an excuse for the poor(er) run last time out? I know you've tried to sell it but the 6lb weight for age to the 3 year olds will still apply here, with regards Above the curve etc. And those that finished either side of her are real average. Looks a decent level below her other runs this season imo.

I would've been sold up to that run. Others look like good form as you say. And those from Arc weekend I'll probably be looking to avoid for a few weeks.

On the Champions Day card... Anyone know anything about Maljooms well being, with regards the QE II stakes?

RIP Adagio. Heart attack on gallop this morning.

Soumillon lost his Aga Khan job (again) then...
