My tip for Kentucky Derby is Maximum Security 10/1. Saw him romp home in Florida Derby. Funny looked totally disinterested in the ring before the race.0

2000 Guineas today. My pick is Skardu, unbeaten at Newmarket and still improving. Plus Doyle on board always gives me confidence. Currently 8/1.0

Why Momkin is 3x the price after only losing by a neck to him in the Craven is odd though.ValleyGary said:2000 Guineas today. My pick is Skardu, unbeaten at Newmarket and still improving. Plus Doyle on board always gives me confidence. Currently 8/1.
Advertise for me, despite stepping up to a mile, as has near best Group 1 form even if only over 6f. plus Momkin EW with firms paying five places.
Others I like on the day:
- Aquarium great EW shout in the opener
- El Astronaute 2.20 ew
- Beat Le Bon, probably e/w filth as well.
No time to tip. Cricket season starts!0 -
Shine So Bright for me.

Agree re Momkin as he got bumped about a few times in the Craven as well. At 33/1 he’s great e/w value.PaddyP17 said:

Magna Grecia wins the 2000 Guineas at 11/2.
High draw seem to have the big advantage with the winner out of 17 and 66/1 second out of stall 19. My choice 3rd out of stall 3 so decent run.0 -
Stall 17 wins, stall 19 comes second, stall 18 picked out by me! Doh!ValleyGary said:Magna Grecia wins the 2000 Guineas at 11/2.

Looking at tickets for Royal Ascot. Anyone ever done the Village enclosure? (the bit on the inside of the course) Any good and worth doing or should I just stick with the grandstand/Queen Anne enclosure?0

7:45 Aintree Oldgrangewood should go very close0

Afternoon all.
Just wondering if anyone's headed to Royal Ascot on the 20th, and if so, if by some complete and utter miracle I could blag a lift?
Given the likely train disruption that day, looks like a good idea to see if it's possible to find alternative methods of travel.
Any advice would be great. Cheers!0 -
https://www.racingpost.com/news/latest/prescott-and-mccain-add-support-to-calls-for-disqualification-for-whip-overuse/389506
Long, long overdue in my view. Nonetheless I did nearly choke on my cornflakes this morning in light of the 2011 GN.
Said McCain: "For me it's a no-brainer. I had a meeting with the BHA a number of years ago as they weren't happy with my stable jockey's use of his stick and I said it's quite simple, throw the horse out."I've been on the other side of it, I had a horse beaten a short-head at Cheltenham when the horse who beat it was struck 16 times and it leaves a sour taste. Derek O'Connor stayed perfectly within the rules on my horse. Sure, the lad who won was banned but who cares?...
"Would he [Ballabriggs] have won [the Grand National] had he [Maguire] used his whip less? I think it's fair to say, yes, he would,"
I respectfully suggest that's impossible to say - Jason Maguire presumably thought he needed to use the whip 17 times to get him across the line 2L ahead.
That said, it's apt that this (patently just) campaign is gaining ground with the recent passing of Big Mac - an early and vociferous advocate of disqualification.
Hopefully soon.

@PeanutsMolloy
makes perfect sense as a punter what does a jockey ban do to you, also if you overuse the whip - which is my book and land a gold cup do you still recieve the prize fund? and just recieve a ban0 -
The only caveat for me would be that the result stands for punters if they disqualify for overuse of the whip. Take the trophies and prize money away from the connections, ban the jockey, but we don't want a situation where jockeys can throw races by intentionally getting disqualified.0
