1m FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile presented by PDJF (Grade 1) (3yo+) (Turf) (3yo+) This one is as good as it gets and the Europeans, looking for their sixth win in seven years, have a really strong hand again. The draw here will matter as the first bend comes up really fast and…
1pt win Ecoro Seig @4/1, 1pt win Aesterius @5/1, 21:45 Del Mar, Friday
5f Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (Grade 1) (2yo) (Turf) (2yo) The Americans don’t appear to have a particularly strong set of runners in the Juvenile Turf Sprint so I’d imagine it’s highly likely that we will see an International winner. The European sprinters look closely matched on the bare…
1pt win Henri Matisse @10/1, 1pt win Satono Carnival @12/1, 00:25 Del Mar, Saturday
1m Prevagen Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (Grade 1) (2yo Colts, Geldings & Ridglings) (Turf) (2yo) This looks wide open and I’m not keen on top of market. William Buick isn’t even on the shortest Godolphin runner Al Qudra, and I’m not sure his nor New Century’s Woodbine form is really up to…
1pt win Diego Ventura 3/1, 13:30 Doncaster, Saturday
6f William Hill Prospect Stakes (Registered As The Doncaster Stakes) (Listed Race) (Class 1) (2yo) This is a hot Listed contest with several chances. But I like the look of DIEGO VENTURA for Wathnan Racing. The son of Mehmas won a decent maiden for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland before moving…
1pt win Hotazhell @17/2, 0.5pts win Nebras @16/1, 14:40 Doncaster, Saturday
1m (Str) William Hill Futurity Trophy Stakes (Group 1) (No Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) A Group One race lacking any Group One form to go by but HOTAZHELL did finish ahead of a subsequent Group One winner two starts ago and has gone on to win at Group Two level since, which marks him…
1pt win Tamfana @4/1, 1pt win Prague @14/1, 15:15 Ascot, Saturday
1m (Str) Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (Sponsored By Qipco) (Group 1) (British Champions Mile) (Class 1) (3yo+) Whilst Charyn has proven himself the top miler in Europe over the summer, TAMFANA is the ‘now’ horse after an impressive and fairly easy win in the Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket. She proved her wellbeing and…
1pt win Kind Of Blue @12/1, 1pt win Elite Status @14/1, 13:55 Ascot, Saturday
6f Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) The sprinting division may be devoid of a real superstar at the moment, but you could hardly have asked for a more competitive Champions Sprint here at Ascot. I could have a shortlist as long as…
1pt win Al Nayyir @13/2, 13:20 Ascot, Saturday
1m7½f ((Inner) Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup (Group 2) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) There is no doubt that Kyprios is a class stayer that has carried all before him this season despite a near career-ending injury in 2023. He has been superb all season and will most…
1pt win Content @9/1, 1pt win Wingspan @12/1, 14:25 Ascot, Saturday
1m3½f (1m3f133y) (Inner) Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes (Group 1) (British Champions Series) (Class 1) (3yo+) CONTENT is a confident selection here at a generous 9/1 as she has every right to be considered the best horse in the race. The Yorkshire Oaks winner is top on ratings without accounting for her 3yo…
1pt win Ancient Truth 5/2, 15:00 Newmarket, Saturday
7f (Row) Darley Dewhurst Stakes (Group 1) (No Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) A poor turnout for Europe’s premier 2yo race made worse by the fav being pulled out overnight. Middle Park winner Shadow Of Light trades odds on but there’s usually a gulf in class between the 6f and 7f…
