SPEECHLESS AFTER FLYING FINISH: It was still a notable tip but left Daqman speechless after his Deauville bet finished a stride too late, boxed in until switched to the nearside rails for the Prix Jacques Le Marois yesterday. Notable Speech, BETDAQ 8.8 in the morning, was beaten a diminishing head at 5-1 by the Aidan O’Brien pacemaker, Diego Velasquez.
BIG-RACE PREVIEWS: Daqman’s Monday Club marks your card with ‘stats and facts’ for the four-day York meeting, which starts on Wednesday. More tomorrow.
YORK: MARK YOUR CARD
⭕ 3.00 York, Wednesday (Great Voltigeur) Nine of the last 12 winners came from the first three in the betting, with seven of them favourite.
MONDAY CLUB TIP: Stalls 2, 3, 4 have shared 10 of the last 12 winners.
FUTURE FAME: Great Voltigeur winners Logician (2019) and Continuous (2023) went on to win the St Leger.
⭕ 3.35 York, Wednesday (International Stakes) Sharing 50% of the International strikes in the decade are Team Gosden (3), whose winners included Mishriff, and Aidan O’Brien (2), who won it with Derby winner City Of Troy last year.
On Wednesday, the Eclipse one-two, separated by a neck, meet again: Delacroix (O’Brien) v. Ombudsman (Gosden), with the runner-up 3lb better off.
Though Delacroix was a big drifter last night on Betdaq Betting Exchange after money for Whirl, he is the sole Ballydoyle contender, with Whirl and Lambourn withdrawn today.
CLEAR WATER FOR YACHTSMAN
⭕ 6.00 Windsor: Yachtsman has the wind in his sails from a generous start to his handicap career, getting weight all round in this nursery.
Takes a keen hold so the drop back in trip will also suit one related to Listed and Group sprinters.
Alkuwarrior and Dazzling Haze are expected to take them along, which helps the grey filly Angel Numbers coming out of stall 4, as she drops from two tries in class-2; related to a Queen Mary winner on the dam’s side.
⭕ 7.00 Windsor Under The Twilight went up for winning over today’s CD and now rises a few more pounds for being beaten, albeit by only a neck at Goodwood.
Gives nearly a stone to Blue Anthem, who has tried several trips, running well in them all and helped here by a good draw.
Shiplake discards the hood after it didn’t seem to help at Doncaster but he must have a big chance on his previous form. He was giving 11lb at Epsom when runner-up to a hat-trick seeker.
PIANOFORTE A ‘HIDDEN HORSE’
⭕ 7.15 Ayr Taygar is 2-2 at Ayr and is helped here by course winners Yaaser and Kelpie Grey having a preference for further, with the pace of the race tricky for them on fast ground.
Pianoforte hardly deserves the keys to this race after beating a 3-1 on shot at Bath last time but it resulted in a 21,000gn bid to move him from Andrew Balding.
Aberama Gold keeps popping up but his last Ayr strike was on heavy ground in 2022.
⭕ 5.45 Ayr SUPERNAP OF THE DAY: Ollie Sangster is up from Marlborough with the 110,000gn buy from Ger Lyons, Sapphire Princess. The Kingman filly has had a break and is a standout on form.
