The Neighsayers - 2 for Royal Ascot

Just a few weeks away now from Royal Ascot and Elliot has had a look into two races at the festival and found two bets he's backing antepost.

Hardwicke Stakes

Think this can be a nice starting point for the Aidan O’Brien trained CONTINUOUS, this race was highlighted for him by Aidan at the beginning of the season and despite him holding other entries at the royal meeting I’m fairly certain this will be where he goes. The race certainly doesn’t look the strongest renewal even at this stage nevermind once it inevitably cuts up. 

He quickly progressed into a top level middle distance horse last season winning the Great Voltigeur and the St.Leger before in my opinion a career best when 5th in the Arc, that piece of form is arguably the best of any in this race and a reproduction would surely see him win this. The general 3/1 is a very fair price in my opinion could easily see him going off 11/8 6/4 on the day.

Continuous 3/1 - (Sky bet, Betfair, Paddy Power)


Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes

The British 6f older horses is a division that is absolutely desperate this season, it is crying out for a horse to step up and I think MILL STREAM can be the one. Coming into this off the back of a career best last time out at York where he overcame lots of trouble in running in a messy race to get up in a photo to the Duke of York, he was value for more than the winning distance suggested.

This race is looking to be a very poor renewal, the current fav Kinross was only 7th in the race last season would need it soft to be a danger and the bulk of the other UK trained runners have already finished in behind Mill Stream this season. He is the most progressive horse in the race and a bet for me at the current 6/1 available.

Mill Stream 6/1 - (Bet 365, Coral, Ladbrokes, Betfair, Paddy Power)

The Neighsayers - Weekly Eye-Catchers 23rd - 29th September 2024

Weekly Eyecatchers 23 rd  – 29 th  September 2024   23 rd  September – 7:30 Wolverhampton    Breccia   Come from miles back here off a muddling pace, was stuck behind a horse who was getting eased off at a crucial stage, should have won imo and should be kept on side over staying trips   25 th  September – 6:00 Kempton    Nuptown Girl    Missed break and was slow into stride, green in rear and was always niggled slightly, race had already developed infront of her but she did run on well under tender handling. Will know much more next time out and could improve further for 7f+   27 th  September  - 8:00 Wolverhampton    Bay Of Naples    Hasn’t won for a while but his run here showed enough to me that he could be winning very soon. Raced pretty fresh here after 1 month off the track, raced handy and just got abit tired late on, will come on bundles for this. 17th October at Southwell f...

The Neighsayers - Friday 13th September

  No blog yesterday for the first day of the Leger meeting, mainly due to uncertainty around the ground we were getting. We’re back for day 2 though. 15:00 Doncaster - Big Mojo A lot to like about this horses chance today, starting with the drop back to minimum trip, showed his usual pace at York but failed to stay. Looks to be plenty of pace on in here too with Aesterius drawn on his side and then King’s Call, Zayer and Tropical Storm over the other side. If he sit’s just off these and strikes late he should emulate last year’s success for connections with Big Evs. A somewhat shock winner at Goodwood but should that was no fluke when running a good race at York when not staying as I’ve mentioned.  Selection - Big Mojo 5/2 General - 1pt win 16:10 Doncaster - Beatrice Shilling This favourite, Cabrera has to be taken on for me. So will be going in with Beatrice Shilling here. Without getting all cliche, she was doing her best work late at Salisbury and prove she stayed the trip,...

The Neighsayers - Thursday 5th September

 Nice to get on the board for September yesterday with Snow Berry winning at 15/2 (or 9/1 if you had the luxury), but with the 2pt bet going down it wasn't as good as we'd hoped for, but profit on the day nevertheless. 17:35 Lingfield - Ormolulu Think this is well worth an each way bet now seeing 7 furlongs for the first time and returning to the all-weather. Dropped down in the handicap considerably this year, beginning on 79 and comes here off 70 with the jockey claiming 3. This is the lowest grade of race she's ever contested too, being a 51-70 and now in a fillies only race that can only be a positive too. The favourite takes up a lot of the market here and he's not guaranteed to get his own way in front this time, with Twilight Dancer and Beveragino in the race and I think he's well worth taking on. She was keen in her 3 year old campaign but the hood seemed to have worked the oracle there and hopefully can continue to do so with the slower tempo of a 6 furlong...
