Missed opportunity. Didn't back it in the end.

Apparently, he suffered a shooting pain in his leg and stopped riding the horse out.

Wouldn't be surprised if Victoire De Lyphar ran a big race in the 3.15 at York.

Did back that one at 9's.

I've gone Leeds -6 & France +54

Good stuff Wanderer - had Singeur each-way myself about the only luck I've had today.

All building up for Ascot now

Couple of nice ones there Wanderer!

Can't believe Jerry O' Dwyer and his lame excuse not a good week for him at all and a jockey I wouldn't have a penny of my money riding on!

Really looking forward to Royal Ascot next week, already got a nice little e/w double in 2 of the big Handicaps and both have shortened since. Got Stoic in the Royal Hunt Cup at 25's and is now a best priced 14's, happy that Noseda has had a couple of decent winners these last few days and the stable coming back into form, he does well with types like this and the piece of form where it beat the potentially top class Alainmaar looks very good, Moore is booked in too which is another bonus... the other is Roger Charlton's Genki in the Wokingham, it actually finished last in the race last year but reckon it will take all the beating this year, got that one at 11/1 and is now a best priced 9's.

Looking forward to the rematch of Canford Cliffs and Makfi and must admit at being a bit surprised at the current odds of the two?

The Queen Anne also promises to be an absolute belter!

Hoping that Northern Dare can boost my Ascot betting funds tomorrow at Donny, a wide open race but fancy this one to run a good un.

Bookies get the 'cap spot on again!

I'm in the camp that believes he mistook the 1/2 furlong marker for the post. He's probably got away with it on the basis that he would almost certainly only have finished second anyway.

Cheers. Only had two bets ... Victoire De Lyphar and England (-50pts) to beat France in the RL so a pretty decent day. Swerved the other horse in the end as by the time I put that race on the TV it had been backed from 5/1 into 3/1. Suppose I still should have played but I thought that the value had gone.
