Here we are. It’s nearly that time of the year were the racing world gets ready for 5 days worth of quality group action down at Royal Ascot.
Before I begin, i will have to declare a massive interest in Animal Kingdom. I managed to get 5/2 just before rumours of Farhh’s withdrawal was announced, for a sizable chunk. Smug is the word to describe that bet, as Animal Kingdom now finds itself down to 4/6 with the majority of the bookies. So confident i am that this horse will win on the day i imagine it’ll go off at 1/2 or so, and I won’t even think twice about laying some of my potential profit off. Not sure I can even put you off if you can find some 8/11, on all known form and the weak opposition, it should be a walk in the park for the Dubai World Cup & Kentucky Derby winner.
Here is a cheeky treble of other runners I fully expect to contract in price drastically on the day. My suggestion is to get on now.
52.6/1 William Hill
Shea Shea 9/4 King Stand Stakes
Stubbs 9/2 Coventry Stakes
Al Kazeem 2/1 Prince Of Wale’s Stakes
Shea Shea, the horse from South Africa, over two races in Meydan broke his own track record. Won the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint on Dubai World Cup night in easy enough fashion. Has settled well into the UK training regime at Newmarket. The one to beat. Stubbs has the world at his feet, a potentially class animal from the all conquering Aidan O Brian team. Potentially a tough race on paper, but the dogs have been barking for this one. And finally, Al Kazeem. Turned up the last day to beat Camelot (who re-opposes) over in Ireland to spring what many people thought was a surprise. Many shrewdys didn’t think it was a surprise however, I was on him, were you? If he runs a similar race he should be far too good for Camelot again.
£526 + from £10? with William Hill – That will do nicely.
