Time to spare before the Fa Cup today, so i"ll whizz through the tv racing today.

York 1.45 7f hc
O"Meara won this last year and he"s throwing 5 darts at it this year and out of those Alejandro 2/2 over 7f at York is a contender. Add the O"Meara 6yo improver Al Khan into the mix, moved from Ollie Pears yard and Do"M has improved his mark 14lbs, you can"t discount him.
Of the rest Highland Colori has a decent ew chance based on his last run plus a handy 5lbs claimed off by Kieran Shoemark won"t do him any harm.
Alfred Hutchinson will be thereabouts as will Majestic Moon,Dusky Queen and Rene Mathis.
At the prices if i were to have a punt i"d side with Alejandro 12/1 and Highland Colori 12/1.....................

Haydock 2.00 Pinnacle Stakes
Good luck if you are trying to make sense of a mares and fillies race a couple that might be slightly under rated in the market are Miss Marjurie and Lady Tiana.

York 2.20 Listed 1m6f
The winner will come from these 3 imho - Clever Cookie,Big Orange or Elidor

Haydock 2.35 The John of Gaunt Stakes
My picks are in previous post. Basically what swung it for me was course form hence Breton Rock.

Newmarket 2.45 Fairway Stakes
Peacock is to short imo.. Tannaaf and Snoano based on there runs behind Cape Clear Island have a decent shout at the odds...

York 2.55 Spring Sprint hc
The unexposed Green Door appeals at 12/1 after a decent lto behind Robot Boy, now on his 3rd start should be wound up for today.
Kimberella at 25/1 could cause a upset and Red Baron has a favourites chance, 8/1 is ok... Bogart is the other that made my list of contenders....

Haydock 3.10 Achilles Stakes
My pick for this would be ground dependent, if its good then Music Master and Out Do should battle it out. If the ground still has a bit of juice in it then Musical Comedy and Intibaah might pinch it from the top 2 in the market.

Newmarket 3.20 12f hc
Dashing Star each way has a squeak at the prices, others that may cause Penhill problems might be Modernism and Watersmeet.........

Haydock 3.45 Sandy Lane Stakes
Limato is the obvious, any cut in the ground brings Mattmu and Toocoolforschool into the frame.

the fred total overall currently stands at +267.46 points.

Cable Bay won yesterday at 5/1 sp not the result i"d liked but judging how the horses were going to act on the ground was a head scratcher
So today the quality racing is at Chantilly with the Prix du Jockey Club [French Derby] off at 2.45 and there are a couple i fancy that have beaten Medrano rather easily that stand out - Karaktar and Silverwave.

Chantilly 2.45 French Derby
Karaktar @3/1  5point win
Silverwave @13/2  2point win
New Bay @7/2  2point win [saver on stakes]

Fabre has been confident that New Bay will stay the extra 2.5 furlongs but i"m going to stick with proven 10f form today.

Is having so much racing in one day a good thing or does the quality suffer?

My Win/Place bets today: Epsom Derby: Rogue Runner 50/1 - Belmont Park, Manhattan Stakes: Magic Artist 13/1

My Win/Place bets today: Epsom Derby: Rogue Runner 50/1 - Belmont Park, Manhattan Stakes: Magic Artist 13/1

good luck Achim, Rogue Runner is interesting as the trainer has to be respected for his record over the years. Mr Wohler knows his onions and Rogue Runner may well outrun his odds. Rogue has a nice dosage profile more in line for a potential Derby contender than Golden Horn. I find it puzzling how some pedigree experts question Golden Horn on his dosage profile having seen what Sea the Stars and Ouija Board did, bizarre dosage blinkers

Had a great day at Lingfield 4 winners out of 6 (left before race 7) met Frankie after he"s win in the Derby

Trainer woehler said: Rogue Runner didnt like the strong pace after the start and may be the special Epsom racecourse. winners were top class horses so all in all no chance for a better result.

Magic Artist late run didnt work out, close 5th but no chance to win.

+5.5 points today leaves the fred total overall currently at +277.71 points.

Royal Ascot next, the head has been buried in the form book.

Star Of Seville wins the Prix de Diane, i hope you was following Gosden today Wayne? It got over looked a tad due to her Epsom Oaks effort only nine days ago but the drop back to 10f was ideal today. A rare English win and a huge boost in form for the Musidora 2nd Together Forever.
Royal Ascot top jockey will be interesting this year, Ryan Moore has ruled the roost over the past few years but Frankie Dettori wouldn"t be a bad shout this year at the current odds with him riding some nice ones for Gosden this year.
