Ascot Pick - Day 1

by SimLFC (U7685930) 17 June 2007
comment on the article

The first day of Ascot this year is jam packed with great races. The main one in which I believe is the St. James. With people monsterously backing Cockney rebel at prices as short as 11-8 and its runner up in the Guineas Dutch Art at 5-2, I personally believe the bet of the day would be a E/W bet on Creachadoir. Was a close 2nd to Cockney Rebel in the Irish Guineas and at 9-1 is great value.

What is your pick of day 1?

Stats say a straight fight between Notnowcato and Dylan Thomas, I think the better Jockey is on Notnowcato and looks value.
Best tip of the day is dont bet in the hunt cup !

Do not think Frankie Dettori deserves any praise for this win. He really laid into the poor horse, in Australia he would have been disqualified, time they started to do the same in this country of horse lovers.

for an African who lives in a country that can barely feed its people i think is utter waste of time and money.that money can feed a lot of people.so much for pomp and pagentry

US ranger is hardly an inspiring choice - i don't like such short priced favourites - i'll probably leave the race alone.

I think the best bet of the day is Starlit sands in the 4.55 (around6/1)

I also have decent ante post ew bets on both flipando and wind star in the hunt cup
