Royal Ascot 2024

@orsenkaht what we all going to be backing in the first race for the Sky Bet max tenner bet of money back if it loses? Cheers.

 

Well, the way I see it, Big Rock has the best form and the best time performance in this race. The question marks are 1. He's with a new trainer this season, and 2. The going is different to that on which he produced his best performance, that being over this course and distance last October. Also to factor in is that he ran poorly at Newbury last month, finishing behind five who reoppose today. The new trainer hadn't had him long then, but says he knows more about him now. If he reproduces that October performance then he wins this. 13/2 with Hills is big enough to factor in the uncertainties.

While I'm on, and FWIW, I also like Camille Pisarro (3.05), Notable Speech (4.25) and Israr (5.40). There is a fair chance of a Barnsley lad shaking hands with the King if Mick Appleby's Big Evs wins the King Charles III Stakes at 3.45!

 

I can see your logic with Big Rock but the run at Newbury last time on decent ground was not very good. If he bounces back fair enough but given most recent form I prefer Facteur Cheval on the ground. In the 3.05 I think The Actor may be a good bet at decent odds over this slightly further trip. 3.45 Asfoora, particularly with Murphy on top now he's had a run. 4.25 Notable Speech. 5.40 Israar. In the last I think Kihaavah may get a place at very big exchange odds

 

Moore is 5/6 with Sky Bet to get a winner today from his five rides. Nothing looks nailed on though.

 

Big Rock for me.
He stumbled out of the stalls last time and then quickly ran into second place too early in my opinion.
He’s top rated so he’s the one for me

 

I'm on Maljoom in the first. Should have shat in 2 years ago and denied a clear run - then basically lost 2 years to injury. They've obviously persevered for a reason. Don't like any of the favs - and this race can often throw up a surprise.

I don't rate the Lockinge form - Inspiral was the big fancy for that and now she's up to 10 furlongs.

Cowardofthecounty is a strong fancy in the 3.05 too.

 

Pity theres not a horse called Kenny Rogers in the 3.05

 

He'd know when to fold them.

 

2:30 Audience.
3:05 Camille Pizarro.
3:45 Big Evs.
4:25 Notable Speech.
5:05 My Lyka.
5:40 Torito.
6:15 Fox Journey.

 

Factuer cheval on the money back bet
L15
Coward of the county
Big EVs
Rosallion
Divine comedy

 

They've all got some sort of chance. Why not do the placepot and an each way super Heinz?

 

Had a 25p e/w ACCA on them. (Free bet from Sky bet).

 

Audience folded tamely .

 

What a bunch of freaks there. All wearing their Reece Mogg hats.

 

Playing with their manshafts.

 

Rosallion evens to finish first 3 with Sky Bet looks a cracking boost from 1/4.

 

I had a couple of quid on second .

 

Good luck, not aving a bet but eres one for ya all,

Sonny Liston, 17.05 Royal Ascot,

 

Is it a knockout?

Sky Bet offering money back as cash on the 3:05 max tenner if it finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Surely the short priced Ryan Moore ride will finish top four for at least the tenner back.
