A good day of racing at Newmarket and Ascot on the level today.  One race that had a good finish, with a lot of really promising colts lining up, was the 4.10 Newmarket.  I did think the second horse Al Suhail was unlucky not to win, he hit the front about a furlong and a half from the winning post, and literally won his race, only to be caught in the shadow of the line.  If his rider had switched his whip, from right to left, he would of won.  It was pilot error, his rider thought he was going to win and put his stick down, when he should of pulled it through into his left, Al Suhail had just edged left, close to the finish.    Jim Crowley on Al Hamady who had his horse balanced, was able to seize his opportunity to win, he had a willing partner as well, which helped.  This race is one to watch a few times, lots of winners will appear from it.

It is interesting to see the Sir Mark Prescott running well again. He had two winners yesterday.   He should be followed with his runners, as when he hits form, he usually has a good number of winners, if he turns out Blame It On Sally, who won at Epsom last nigh, in the next week or so, try not to miss it ! He looked a well handicapped horse, with a lot more to come.

The main race looking at the Newmarket card is the Darley July Cup Stakes Group 1.  Ran over the straight 6f, it is a really good race, with lots of good sprinters lining up.  Hopefully I can find a winner for my followers tomorrow, although Saturday is the hardest day of the week !
