Fox Chairman looks a Dream of a bet at Windsor August 27, 2020 AFTER the razzmatazz of York’s Ebor Festival last week, it’s unsurprising the action this weekend is of a slightly lesser note. There’s still a decent card at Goodwood, though, with the Group Two Celebration Mile (3:35pm) the standout contest. All eyes will be on Benbatl who makes an eagerly-anticipated return having been off the track [...]
Glencadam looks a monster price for Glory at 33/1 August 20, 2020 AFTER three days of cracking action, the feature race on the final day of York’s Ebor Festival is the Sky Bet Ebor (3.40pm) with £250,000 up for grabs. Fujaira Prince deserves his place at the top of the market having won the Copper Horse Handicap over this trip at Royal Ascot on his only start [...]
Koeman might manage to land day three opener August 20, 2020 MARK Johnston looks to hold the key to day three’s opening 1m4f handicap (1:45pm) with Zabeel Champion. He looked to be crying out for this step up to 12 furlongs last time when outpaced early on before making eye-catching late headway to take second. However, connections would have wanted the rain clouds to linger for [...]
Ubettabelieveit, Power set to test Battaash August 20, 2020 FRIDAY’S feature is the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes (3.15pm) and given how impressive he’s been so far this season, it’s unsurprising Battaash is as short as 1/2 to win the race he won in such devastating fashion last year. He broke Dayjur’s 29-year record 12 months ago and looks quicker than every this year, but given [...]
Give the Lowther a Miss August 19, 2020 THERE’S plenty of rain about up in York this week and the fillies lining up for the Group Two Lowther Stakes (1:45pm) on day two of the Ebor Festival may encounter the most testing ground of the entire week. That shouldn’t be a problem for Irish raider MISS AMULET, a daughter of Sir Prancealot who won [...]
Murphy can find the right tune aboard Sir Busker August 19, 2020 ONE of the biggest betting heats of the entire week is the Clipper Logistics Handicap (2.45pm) and with 19 runners finding the winner is going to be no easy feat. James Tate’s Top Rank heads the market and it’s not hard to see why given he’s unbeaten in his four career starts. He was last [...]
Mudlark De Vega set for Love shock at York August 19, 2020 ONLY a field of six are scheduled to line-up for the Darley Yorkshire Oaks (3.15pm), the feature race on day two of the Ebor Festival at York. All eyes will be on Investec Oaks heroine Love who reappears after her breath-taking success at Epsom last month. The daughter of Galileo now has two wide-margin successes [...]
Ebor Festival to kick off with great Aplomb August 18, 2020 OPENING a fantastic four days of racing on the Knavesmire is the Sky Bet And Symphony Group Handicap (1:45pm), where a field of 22 are set to dash for home over York’s five and a half furlong track. All bar one of the last six winners have returned at double figure odds and last year’s [...]
Dancin Inthestreet can Make My Day at York August 18, 2020 FOLLOWING what’s set to be a mouth-watering renewal of the Juddmonte International, MAKE MY DAY looks a fine bet in the Sky Bet Handicap (3.45pm). The four-year-old was a taking winner on his first start for Ralph Beckett at York last time, havingpreviously been trained by John Gosden. He couldn’t have been much more impressive that day and [...]
Magical can pull Juddmonte victory out of the hat August 18, 2020 THERE may only now be the five runners in the Juddmonte International Stakes (3.15pm), but what the race lacks in terms of quantity, it more than makes up for in quality. Ghaiyyath deserves his position at the top of the market on the back of three impressive performances so far this campaign. After a commanding [...]
