Sport of Kings discussion thread

Fancy Eamon An Cnoic in the opener today

1.45: Sumkindofking, Cyrius Moriviere, Massini's Trap. All ew
2.20 Bedrock. Was 3rd in Gr1 juvenile here last year, has had wind op and moved stables. First run for new stable he fairly sluiced in....rated him mid 130s, but could've easily gone 10-15 lengths quicker. That puts him in the mix here, and at 50s+ on exchanges I've thrown a few quid his way.
2.50 Horrendous race to have a view on I thought, maybe Testify at a big price.
3.25 Think Balko Des Flos should be fav over Min
4.05 Theatre Territory and Polidam. Both ew
4.40 Couldn't care less.
5.15 Pym

Done 6 ew doubles with the 3 in the 1.45 and 2 in 4.05

2.50 Terrefort

My youngest is there today and he backed it - I think he's happy but can't really tell as he sounds quite drunk!!

Please refer him to the above comment - start as we mean to go on hope he has a good time!

Balls, thought I had Ms Parfois on the win there. Damn

Nice place for Kilcrea Vale there. Puts the book in profit for the day; let's freeroll the last two under no pressure!

1.45 Cyruis Moriviere & Eamon An Cnoic both e/w
2.20 Slate house e/w
2.50 Coo Star Sivola
3.25 Balko Des Flos
4.05 BigBadJohn e/w
4.40 Roksana (Nap)
5.15 Pym e/w

Fuck sake Roksana just beaten, sums up the day.

That was a shame. *Takes each way money and runs*

Tend to find takes me a bit of time to get into "flat racing mode" but....

First 3 races look horrendous to bet on with little/no info to go on

1535 5 runner races not my thing I'm afraid!
1610 Interesting handicap. ISOMER ran future 2000 Guineas winner Churchill to within a 0.5L as a 2yo. Things not gone to plan since, but down to a mark of 90 as a result. You'll be getting value backing a few ew in this (save some bullets from the first few races)
1645 MILDENERGER was last seen finishing third to Roarding Lion (2nd in RP Trophy) and Nelson (Ballysax winner at weekend). Should run well in this if progressed from 2 to 3 ok.
1720 MEDIEVAL will be popular with Ryan Moore booked, and does look interesting. But may be short enough. Could be worth chancing JUANITO CHICO/PASTIME ew as they were 2nd and 3rd behind subsequent Lincoln winner Addeybb last year.
1755 God knows!

Thanks very much PolzeathNick, must admit when I looked I did wonder if I should bother betting, I think one race there’s 19 starters.

Ironically, if you know absolutely nothing at all the best two races to bet on are the two big handicaps. Anything you back each way will likely be value just based on the maths.

flat racing i cant stand so after punchestown and final day at sandown the summer is time off for me, a good free tipster done some ante post shouts for the major flat races which i had a v small lucky 15 on 1 of which is now a nr so wont be landing a big return if the others land.

The Young Master @ 25/1 for Saturday's Scottish GN is very appealing.

After the Midlands GN I'm absolutely all over Regal Flow (like I was then, woo). Was very taken with his run. A 4lb rise isn't exactly prohibitive.

many happy retirements but sandown have basically marketed there jumps finale around cue cards last run, will they give a refund?

instead of running it will now be parading isnt exactly the same although i think it should of been retired after cheltenham.
