A late post, I was sidetracked most of the day with Other sports !

I backed Setting Sail 2.15 Ascot, who ran with the choke out in the early stages of his race, unfortunately you don’t get home at Ascot or most tracks when you don’t relax.  Maybe he will drop back to 10f on the grass, or an easier 12f.  Ascot is stiff and you need to stay very well, he simply didn’t !

I backed Anthony Van Dyk in running at Lingfield 2.30, who was another good winner for the powerful Aiden O’Brian stable.  He has won most of the Derby trials so far, he runs a few more over the next week or so, Japan is pencilled in For York next week, he will likely run in the Dante Stakes, with the likelihood of meeting Too Darn Hot, so that could be some race.

I will try and watch the French racing tomorrow.  Persian King runs in the French 2000 Guineas.  He will be short odds to win, but he is a very good horse, and it will take a good one to beat him.

More tomorrow.
