Royal Ascot 2024 Yankee

[FinalFurlong91]

Vandeek and jasour both in the sandy lane on Saturday at 5 day stages

[Morley Street]

Seems to have been a bit of a move for Camille Pissarro today… 6s and 5s available earlier and now a general 7/2 shot… does anyone know if he’s been tipped up?

[FinalFurlong91]

Made my move in the commonwealth cup

1pt at 16s on jasour
And 2pt double that gives me 5pts rolling on to Vandeek

Likely won't have any more these sprints can be a lottery so no point backing 4 and losing to some outsider with no form

Is entered to run on Saturday at the curragh, could be that

As short as 9/4 with Denise now… feels more than just the entry!?

[FinalFurlong91]

Gonna take an absolute flier on chesspiece at 40/1 for the gold cup

Only need half a point on at that price so no harm if he flops

He's always looked slow and is having his first go over 2 miles at Sandown tomorrow

He's rated 109, kyprios 117

A very bridgable gap for a 4yo unexposed over staying trips

He wins tomorrow then becomes a real live candidate who fits the profile perfectly

He loses then only half a point down the drain

Have to say I'm struggling to find 4 selections

The bookies are being very tight on prices this year

Feel plenty of us like passenger and mountain breeze

Whilst passenger could go off close to even money if auguste rodin loses this weekend its hard to see much value in mountain breezes price, though she has looked the standout 2yo filly to me

Elmalka and ramatuelle look very fair prices but not sure if the French filly will come over. Il likely put elmalka in and hope opera singer flops like city of troy and henry longfellow did.

Gregory looks solid for the gold cup but doesn't appeal at the prices. Kyprios is way too short at evs given we don't know if he's still as good as he was when winning the race.

Vandeek looked a potential superstar and was miles the best 2yo sprinter. But Jassour and Elite status clearly didnt run their race in the middle park and have proven theyve trained on.

Then we have the Australian sprinter that was suggested, but i know little about the horse and looking at the form shes no black caviar, she's not even near as good as nature strip

I'd say the royal ascot prices are as bad if not worse than the Cheltenham ante post prices. The bookies price these races up like they are NRNB.

They aren't sounding confident on Opera Singer imo.

Good

Elmalka it is then

Unless someone has a strong opinion that ramatuelle

Elmalka should devour the stiff ascot finish and has only raced 3 times so should still be improving

She won despite being very green and looking like she hated the track at newmarket

[Benjy23]

Hunt Cup and Wokingham have entries. I'm sure there's some value in there

Vandeek declared on Saturday as well, if you weren't aware. Should answer your earlier question.

[FinalFurlong91]

Have had a go at a win one and an e/w one

Win Yankee
vandeek 11/4 commonwealth cup

Needs little explanation, miles the best 2yo sprinter and could finally provide us with an actual superstar in the division

Mountain breeze 5/2 albany

Has looked the stand out 2yo to me so far and price has been pushed out since obrein had a useful one win

Passenger 5/2 prince of wales

Looks like a highly progressive 4yo and if auguste rodin flops again this weekend he could go off very short in a paper thin division

Elmalka 5/1 coronation stakes

Big priced guineas winner. Won despite getting badly unbalanced in the dip. Is still raw and you can expect a few more lbs of improvement at a track that will suit better.

E/W Yankee
Qudwah 10/1-12/1 queen anne
Muddling renewal, was very impressed with his effort on reappearance improving his OR by 14lbs. He takes another step forward has to have a chance of hitting the frame.

Elite status 7/1 commonwealth cup

Given a good mention on here, won very nicely on reappearance and was always highly thought of at 2. I prefer Jassour myself and will be putting him in one too but others like elite status.

chain of lightning 8/1-10/1 QE2 Jubillee

UK sprinters are all shite. Not much more needs to be said. This is no aussie superstar but it may well not matter.

coltrane 14/1-16/1 gold cup

Rock solid stayer at this time of year. Poor division no reason to think he won't hit the frame again this year.

Will be playing them at small stakes, there really seems to be very few good horses in training atm

[Zachx02]

She probably has no chance but we're going to see our first ever Chad Brown runner at Ascot this year as he's bringing over Sweet Rebecca for the Coronation, surprised he hasn't decided to bring over another like Carl Spackler for company to run in the Queen Anne

https://x.com/jstewartrr/status/1794...htottIAxw&s=19 nevermind looks like he's ran away from the 'euros' as they call us over there

Cheers Zach, managed to cash out for full stake back

[Benjy23]

Interesting to see how Asfoora goes today for some sort of a line on the Aussies. She's carrying a penalty by the looks of it and it's a prep for the King Stand but I'd still want to see a decent run

Yeah interesting… has some decent form behind Imperatriz and has form on the soft too
