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 same firm…

Thursday’s Racing at Royal Ascot

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 Stakes, might…

Royal Ascot Betting Wednesday June 18th

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+ fillies, 1m

As part of…

Royal Ascot Betting - Tuesday’s racing at Ascot

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 4th, (both 11/2…

Update:

How did you do? Let us know in the comments section, but the results for this race were:

Luberon 6/1
Pevensey 20/1
Sugar Ray 3/1

Which means that the Money Back Special offered by PaddyPower (below) would not have been any help to you. Though hopefully at least some of you fancied an each way punt on Pevensey at 20/1, and didn’t stick to the favourite winning. Look out for more Money Back Specials and other bookies offers.

Paddypower are offering a money back special on todays racing at York. More specifically the 2:10 Reland Jorvik Heritage Handicap, at York.

ASCOT

2:20 totesport Victoria Cup (Heritage Handicap), Class 2, 7f

A typically competitive, 25-runner renewal. Ed Dunlop’s Al Khaleej steps up in class after an impressive Kempton win on his seasonal bow. The opposition includes the progressive King of Dixie, Michael Jarvis’ We’ll Come and Barry Hills’ Zaahid. Jim Goldie saddles two, Dhaular Dhar and Middlemarch. It seems unlikely that the trip from Glasgow is just for a day out. David Barron also makes a long trip with Skhilling Spirit, who looks overpriced at 20/1.

Betting: 11/2 Al Khaleej, 6/1 We’ll Come (both Stan James), 9/1 King of Dixie (bet365), 12/1 Giganticus, Dabber’s Ridge, Presumptive, 14/1 Zaahid, 16/1 Laa Rayb (all Stan James), Fishforcompliments (totesport), 20/1 Skhilling Spirit (Stan James), 25/1 BAR.…
