Bets 12/07/2025

War Hawk drifted like lost a leg. Ormolulu drifted like lost a leg and was given a highly suspect ride. Was cruising, could have won, but was purposely put behind horses several times in the home straight. Spicy Marg was a daft bet knowing was going to be hard to beat the fave. Darkness, well typically the other O'Meara horse was looking at wrong. Castan was sooooo close. Anyhow....

Dain Me Nut In bolted in so all good yesterday. 

2.22 Ascot - Never So Brave 9/4 

Solid winner at the festival for me. Looks difficult to beat. Hope Quddwah doesn't decide to bounce back to form

2.35 York - Rosy Affair 22/1

Looks to be improving still and have this down as 100+ rated at least. As went to hit bet slip went from 25 to 22. Annoying.

2.50 Newmarket - Run Boy Run 11.5, Akkadian Thunder 7.0 cover only

Won the far side race at Ascot when drawn wrong. Was first run of season when just beaten by More Thunder. C&D winner. Wish Spencer was in better form, but think still better value than MT.

Given the formlines I also did a Never So Brave/Akkadian Thunder 18/1 double

3.10 York - Naqeeb 11.5, Fox Legacy 11.5 cover only

Tough race for a 3year old. Naqeeb is strong on trends and form for me. Camacho flying. Only thing bugging me is draw, but think good enough o win this. Fox Legacy fits trends and won very easily in penultimate race. Ran well enough at Ascot drawn wrong and might be drawn badly again, but okay with it.

York 4.15 - Dacres Cross 9/1

Ryan 3/4 in the race. Has been short price every one of it's 3 runs. Looked pretty good fto. 

4.35 Newmarket - Flora of Bermuda 7.6, Symbol of Honour 11.6

Can't split them so did 45/1 rfc also

4.45 York - Terrorise 8.5

Looks  much improved horse after spell over hurdles. Ran in a c2 flat handicap and a g1 hurdles. surely must be showing something? Anyhow was staying on well lto in a realistic race. Wish Ellison was in better form but this looks the value in the race

4.50 Ascot - Redorange 5/1

Only draw beats this. Solid form. Cox in form and won the race before. Holkham the fave was an unlucky 33/1 for me at the festival but over further. Think needs the distance.

5.25 York - Fiscal Policy 16/1

I was going to back Juan Les Pins who should have won for me lto. Didn't back when was 11/2 and now 3/1. So want to get it beat now :) I looked at Good Earth, Iris Dancer and Fiscal Policy all have chances. Think the draw makes it harder for Good Earth and Iris Dancer, so in on Fiscal Policy

7.00 Hamilton - Infinity Blue 8/1

Camacho flying and is 30% first headgear. Stiff track 6f looks a good placement
