2022 Flat Racing Antepost thread

[FinalFurlong91]

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

[Lobos]

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

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 ?

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.

[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...

[Lobos]

Very interesting to see how Holloway Boy runs tomorrow. For me his win was the outstanding training performance of Royal Ascot. Can't imagine it was a fluke but it was a real surprise.

The form hasn't worked out very well with the 2nd, 4th and 5th all being badly beaten since

i imagine the owners got some large offers for him which they will potentially regret not taking if he runs like the other Chesham runners have since

Think you might be spot on there

[Sprinter Sacre]

Been well mentioned across racing media but I agree that Mysterious Night is interesting moving up to 7f.

[Lobos]

If Holloway Boy was trained by AOB he'd be odds on today.

[Benjy23]

Wouldn't have been 40/1 in the Chesham either like

[Benjy23]

Some jockey Jamie Spencer

[Zachx02]

Chesham form hasn't worked out great has it, has any horse that ran in it won next time out

[Lobos]

Take my hat off to Kyprios. Very good horse.

[FinalFurlong91]

Trueshan just isn't fast enough to win on proper ground

He needs the soft ground to slow the others down
