High draws just won the 5:00

Doesn't seem to matter where the draw is, it's where the quality pace is to drag horses into the race

Yeah I think too much gets made of the draw at Ascot when it's quick ground, when it's deep you want to be stands side but for me it's the break that's more important.
That final race last night five of the first six home were drawn 20 or higher...

duplicate post sorry

[BigChaang]

100/1 winner on debut, blimey.

Just told my Mate , i did a Danny Tudhope l15 for today , and only used 3 of his as Holloway boy was 100-1 and I thought he had no chance...

Jersey
Noble truth 4/1 NAP

I think he is an extremely talented horse who has been far too keen and running his races the wrong way round. they are reporting the gelding operation has calmed him down I think he takes an awful lot of beating.

Despite behaving like a lunatic as a 2yo (and on reappearance this year and won anyway) he finished 2nd in the lagadere

He beat derby 2nd hoo yah mal

Didn't get beat far by lusail on debut

And beat ehraz

so if he has now calmed down and starts racing properly his rating of 112 will only go up and he wins this

Also really like Falcon Eight in the 18:10 if trueshan doesnt run

Nap landed

Well Done Final Furlong ..

Nap landed

So he hasn't calmed down, but tough as nails!

So he hasn't calmed down, but tough as nails!

He has calmed down a bit tbf

He was borderline unraceable before

As predicted aussie horse struggled over 6f

Gutted creative force came second been on him for months

Got squeezed for room at a vital stage

Wouldn’t have picked the winner if you’d given me 15 selections

I was on Sacred so I am equally as guilty of overlooking the winner but he ran a good race in the jersey last year and has reversed form with Creative Force. My memory is failing me about the draw bias last year so maybe Naval Crown got the luck this time that he didn't get then.


Just seeing the replay on ATR and they're talking about the ride Jamie Spencer gave Artorius - FFS as if that's a surprise to anyone with half a brain. That guy loves the minor honours
