Really pleased to get another winner yesterday for my subscribers, Terebellum 2.25 Newmarket was advised on Friday evening when she was 11/8, heavily supported throughout the day, she went off at slightly odds on. A cosy winner under Frankie Dettori, and I believe it was his first winner back in the Godolphin blue for 8 years !
At 3.35 the Pinatubo bubble burst, he ran well to be third in the end to gutsy winner Kameko. My main fancy Arizona ran below par, and was eased by Ryan Moore. I did back Wichita each way as well at 12/1, so managed to break even on the race, he looked like winning when he hit the front, and was only a neck behind at the line.
Today’s main event at Newmarket is the Qipco 1000 Guineas, at 3.35. If I have an interest bet it will be Millisle, who looked as though she would stay further when she won over 6f on the track last season. The 4.45 is a “match” race as I see it, between the front pair in the betting, and I would not like to predict which way it may go. Eastern World gets 7lb from his main rival King Leonides, if William Buick rides him positively he may just edge it, as his rival was a tad keen on debut, but it all depends on how he is ridden as well, Frankie Dettori rides this track well, and is a master at getting the fractions right if allowed to set them. So an in play bet could be the best option.
More tomorrow.
