A late post today.  Having seen Enable win the King George V1 and Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes (Group 1) at Ascot, for the second time, which was a really game and gutsy performance.

She was ridden patiently by Frankie Dettori, who from a wide draw, found himself with a lot of jockeys, on his inside quite rightly not giving him an inch !

But the great mare responded well when asked to go and win her race just inside the two furlong from home marker.  For a few strides, she looked in danger of getting beat.  Crystal Ocean, who was given a really good ride by James Doyle, had every chance in the home straight, he simply was just not good enough, but it was a good effort to finish second, to such a good mare.

Looking at the remaining races today.  With the rain having arrived earlier today at Ascot, the ground is probably riding good to soft.  Lariat 5.20 has been running consistently all season.  This colt does not mind some ease in the ground, and after four seconds, he deserves to get his head in front.   He would be my choice, if I was having a bet.

A couple of horses I like are running today in later races, hopefully I have picked  the right one for my subscribers, with the rain we have had, I have played small stakes only.

More tomorrow.
