Thursdays Betting at Glorious Goodwood
Day three of the Glorious Goodwood race meet gets underway today with the first race at 2.15pm.
The Moet Hennessy Fillies Stakes (registered as Lillie Langtry Stakes) takes the Group 3, Class 1 horses on a 1 mile 6 furlong race. The horse which is favourite to win this race is Folk Opera, which also sees many tips. Currently the best odds are 11/4 available from Sporting Bet. 2nd Favourite, High Calypso is being ridden by Ryan Moore, and has odds to match Folk Opera at most bookies, however Sporting Bet are offering slightly better odds at 14/5.
As to which of these horses is likely to win, I think based on form alone Folk Opera will take the win. High Calyso’s form has been weak of late…

Wednesday – Betting at Glorious Goodwood
Today is day two at Glorious Goodwood, and there’s another day of racing ahead, with seven races at this meet. The going today is good to firm.
Yesterday’s action was fantastic, though our tips started off a little shaky with our horses failing to make a place. The second race was a little better as the favourite stormed home. The 3.30 was another wash out for us, howeveer in the 4.05, our tip of Finjaan came in as the favourite failed to make a place.
The 4.40 went to Sanbuch, one of horses to watch. Whilst in the 5.15 and 5.50 races we cleaned up as Yamal won at 5-1 amd Gyr came in at 4/1. So how will we fair today? Let’s take a look at…

Saturday’s Racing at Royal Ascot
SATURDAY’S RACING AT ROYAL ASCOT – 21st June
2:30 Chesham Stakes, Listed, 2yo, 7f
A race for home-based, fancied runners, with only one Irish win since 1978 and 18 of the last 19 winners starting at 8/1 or shorter. Mark Johnston has won the Chesham 3 times in the last 10 runnings and relies on the once-raced Pegasus Lad who ran with promise to be 3rd in a recent Hamilton maiden, keeping on well in the closing stages over 6f. He should be suited by the step up in trip and seems certain to be well fancied (7.8/1 with BetFair). There are only 2 previous turf winners in the field of 12, Richard Hannon’s Free Agent, the likely favourite (2/1 with Betfair) and George Margarson’s Imperial Guest (7.8/1 with the…

THURSDAY’S RACING AT ROYAL ASCOT – 19th June
2:30 Norfolk Stakes, Group 2, 2yo, 5f
The Norfolk has produced some high-class winners over the last decade or so. Peter Chapple-Hyam has won it three times, including with subsequent Irish Guineas victor Turtle Island and 2000 Guineas-placed Dutch Art. Ireland’s sole victory since 1985 was with Aidan O’Brien’s Johannesburg, who went on to win the Breeder’s Cup juvenile. Definitely a race in which to follow the market, with 11 of the last 15 winners starting at 5/1 or less. Chapple-Hyam is represented by Skid Solo, likely to be a big outsider (28/1 with Betfair). However, given his trainer’s record in the race, he should not be completely dismissed. John Best runs 3, and following his 100/1 success in Tuesday’s Windsor Castle…

WEDNESDAY’S RACING AT ROYAL ASCOT – 18th June
2:30 Jersey Stakes, Group 3, 3yo, 7f
Traditionally viewed as an easier option for Guineas “also-rans” but only two Classic challengers have won since 1994. Jeremy Noseda and Sir Michael Stoute have both won the race twice in the last 10 runnings. Stoute is not represented, but Noseda runs Strike The Deal, ridden by Ryan Moore (16.5/1 on Betfair), in a seemingly open race. He failed to stay the mile trip of the 2000 Guineas and should not be completely dismissed. Ireland have only one win since 1975, but Aidan O’Brien’s Jupiter Pluvius is likely to be vying for favouritism (5.6/1 on BetFair). Hughie Morrison’s Stimulation (7.2/1 with Betfair) is expected to go well.
3:05 Windsor Forest Stakes, Group 2, 4yo+…

TUESDAY’S RACING AT ROYAL ASCOT – 17th June
2:30 Queen Anne Stakes, Group 1, 4yo+, 1m
The Royal Ascot curtain-raiser, along with Newbury’s Lockinge Stakes are the only pair of top-class mile events restricted to 4yo+. Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin operation has farmed this race in recent years, winning 7 of the last 12 runnings. However, they are unrepresented this year. Since the Queen Anne was upgraded to Group 1 status (2003), two winners have come via the Newbury race, which may again provide the key. Aidan O’Brien runs 3, the pick of which may be Australian Group 1 winner Haradasun (5/1fav with Ladbrokes), who though eventually well beaten in the Lockinge, may well be a different proposition off the likely strong pace. Other Lockinge participants Tariq 3rd, and Cesare…
