The Steward’s Cup has provided a couple of winners of the William Hill St. Wilfred Stakes over the last few years. Growl leads the market here, fourth at Glorious Goodwood with 5/1 still available at the time of writing. His trainer has an excellent recent record in this race, but he…
0.75pt each-way Fas @18/1, 14:45 Deauville, Sunday
After a dire week at Goodwood we’re pleased to turn our attention elsewhere to Northern French track Deauville, where the 6.5-furlong Prix Maurice De Gheest is the feature race on Sunday’s card. Commonwealth Cup winner Caravaggio is the star name and trades odds-on despite meeting his first defeat last time…
0.75pt each-way Projection @10/1, 0.75pt each-way Sir Dancealot @11/1, 15:35 Goodwood, Saturday
It’s very difficult to get away from a bet on SIR DANCEALOT in the Steward’s Cup on Saturday afternoon. Three-year-olds have won the last two runnings of this frenetic sprint handicap, and he is officially 9lbs well-in if the handicapper has got him right – that is a considerable allowance.…
1pt win Lord Yeats @11/2, 13:50 Goodwood, Friday
Frontiersman is by far the class horse in this race, and looks a tempting price at 10/3 based on what he has achieved so far this season, which includes running a close second to Highland Reel in the Coronation Cup. But I have some strong reservations about Frontiersman’s ability to…
2pts win Profitable @5/2, 15:35 Goodwood, Friday
It’s been a miserable week for punters and racegoers at Glorious Goodwood after torrential rain turned the track heavy and saw a sea of non-runners. Bookies have been having the best of things with huge-priced winners going in left, right and centre, and punting remains perilous going into the penultimate…
1pt win On To Victory @7/1, 0.75pts each-way Galactic Prince @12/1, 14:25 Goodwood, Wednesday
There were plenty of upsets yesterday at Glorious Goodwood with punters licking their wounds after the opening day of the meeting. It might not be any kinder for favourite backers on day two and Secret Adviser carries a few negatives that may mean he is worth taking on in the…
1.5pts win Limato @3/1, 0.5pt each-way Stormy Atlantic @28/1, 15:00 Goodwood, Tuesday
Glorious Goodwood starts on Tuesday and a large field of 15 go to post for the Group Two Lennox Stakes over the intermediate trip of seven furlongs. There’s no Group One in Britain over that trip and the prize money here is huge, which explains the presence of Henry Candy’s…
2pts win Qemah @2/1, 14:55 Deauville, Sunday
Success Days was a 4/1 winner yesterday while Ulysses was best of the rest behind flat racing’s new superstar Enable in the King George. A month of Sunday Group Ones at northern French track Deauville begins today, kicking off with the Prix Rothschild for the filly milers. With dual-Royal Ascot…
1pt win Ulysses @9/1, 15:35 Ascot, Saturday
We’ve had some weak renewals of the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes in recent seasons but the ten declared for Saturday’s edition buck that trend. Much of the pre-race speculation has been around the participation of dual-Oaks heroine Enable from John Gosden’s yard, and despite only running as…
1.5pts win Success Days @4/1, 15:15 York, Saturday
The King George at Ascot takes centre stage on Saturday, rightfully so. But there is a nice looking Group 2 contest taking place at York earlier in the afternoon. The race has a wide-open feel with the removal of Eclipse third Desert Encounter, and the current favourite Autocratic doesn’t appear…
