The French have turned us over across two generations this weekend. Chicquita landed the Irish Oaks on Saturday, with the Epsom Oaks winner stone last, and yesterday at ‘Maisons,’ another French filly Vorda took the two-year-old ‘classic’, Prix Robert Papin.
England’s youngsters, the much more experienced trio Ambianced, Anticipated and Extortionist (blew his chance with a slow start) failed to reach the frame – and I mean the first four – of nine starters, despite a win, a third and a fourth at Royal Ascot.
No wonder the Grand Prix De Saint-cloud winner, Novellist, gets forever shorter, in to 5-1 (unless you are with BETDAQ, where he’s been 7.2), for Saturday’s King George.
And our sole star in the European racing galaxy, Al Kazeem, is now under attack in the Arc market from three French comets – Intello, Treve and Flintshire – and two Japanese. Not another English horse in site. Nor Irish, unless you count Ruler Of The World.
But he appears to have a poor chance to redeem himself if his Epsom Derby is not to go down as more like a trial for the real three-year-old championships.
The winner, the so-called ‘Ruler’ himself, has since finished 5th in the Irish Derby, with the second, Libertarian, only 8th, though the third, Galileo Rock, stepped in front of them and was 2nd.
Only Galileo Rock (as a future staying star) and the actual Curragh winner, Trading Leather, can seriously be taken out of the race.
Ditto the Epsom Oaks. The winner, Talent, was last of seven to Chicquita in Saturday’s Irish version; the second, Secret Gesture, was pulled out of that race; the third, The Lark, was only 5th in a Group 2 at Saint-cloud; fourth Moth was 8th of 11 to Venus De Milo (Saturday’s second) in the Naas Oaks Trial, and most of the rest of the field have also been beaten.
It’s pretty much dross racing today, with no decent battles but one or two interesting skirmishes: the fast 5f sprinter, Exotic Isle (7.50 Windsor), has to give 5lb to a staying type, Realize. I can back one and save on t’other, with BETDAQ offers adding up to only 106% in the orange.
Richard Hannon has won the opener three times in the last five years and Djinni (6.20) has been the subject of meaningful money this morning.
The money in the handicap (7.20) is for Norphin. The cobbler who owns him has had an awful long wait before he’s come right. At last, eh?
Another first time in a handicap is Roger Charlton’s Quest For More (8.0 on BETDAQ in the 8.20, as I write). Three-year-olds dominate the race and the two winners he has to beat, Orbison and Emulating, both won when lucky to dictate from the front off a steady pace.
DAQMAN’S BETS (to win 20 points each, except stakes savers and multiple bets)
BET 3.7pts win NORPHIN (7.20 Windsor)
BET 7pts win EXOTIC ISLE and 2.8pts win (stakes saver) REALIZE (7.50 Windsor)
BET 2.8pts win QUEST FOR MORE (8.20 Windsor)
DAQ MULTIPLES: 5pts win LOST LEGEND (4.30 Cartmel), 10pts win DJINNI (nap, 6.20 Windsor) and 3pts win double the two, plus 2 x 1pt win trebles the same two with Exotic Isle and Realise (7.50 Windsor)
