    Cost me £14.50 ( if it'd won ) ?   

    Don't know why I fall for the ' hype ' of big race meetings Cheltenham & Ascot are the same where I usually do crap & yet excell at smaller bread & butter stuff , albeit hype meetings are a good watch .

    Well done to The Skeleton on his win with Audarya , he genuinely looked shocked & surprised & K.Ryan with Glass Slippers .

    Fanshawe is very under estimated and if you looked at the form of Audraya it was very backable and Boudot is exceptional, lets be honest and say Tarnawa wasnt as obvious taking on the OBriens but its figures stacked up well, as for glass slippers i thought, have the yanks got a faster turf horse than this? taking on board what u said about hype meetings the trick is to never read the absolute tosh that is spouted in the Racing Media. they actually convince you you have it wrong, you didn't see what you saw etc etc. they watch races through eyes that are biased to what they write and tend to miss everything else. think about the November handicap as an example, and think about Trueshan as another example how was that ever 20/1 in the morning of the ascot race? i note what i see and nothing and no one changes my mind. tv commentators are worse they get one right and all of a sudden they are genius's. treat the hype meetings exactly as you treat the bread and butter stuff is my advice. As for Siskin there is always one that saves the bookies even if you think its a good bet. Also I find jockey error is the only thing you can't factor in.

    wow wow wow  Breeders Cup Mile

    Order Of Australia only got in the race due to One Master being taken out, then the booked jockey Christophe Souilmon tested positive for Covid so Boudot got the ride and wins at 76-1 on the US prices if that wasnt enough  Aidan O'Brien gets the 1-2-3,  Kameko finishes 7th

    had glass slippers, audraya, siskin and tarnawa i needed siskin to win that, boxed in nowhere to go. PC Boudot should surprise no one, master at french style on a turf track that does not favour front runners what worries me now is they have the best jockey in boudot on mogul so i sense im going to be a bit annoyed with mr keane if he panics and trys to go forward on a hold up horse.

    Cheers Ipswich, good luck

    I used to get unfeasibly excited about the Breeders Cup years ago but I've lost interest recently

    The winners that stick in my mind are Arazi, Miesque, Royal Academy, Alysheba....... late 80s to mid 90s era. 

    Just seems to have become a bit bloated with the 2nd day and opportunities for the better horses to avoid each other and too many similar races. Sort of The Cheltenham Syndrome.

    So I normally ignore the Friday altogether ....... and just watch two or three races on the Saturday. The ones with competitive British horses and the big race, though I quite often forget all about it and miss the races I intended to watch. Depends what else is on telly

    If there's a superstar like Zenyatta or American Pharoah I'll try not to miss that

    totally agree they killed it by adding the 2nd day, i go back to having a big bet on sheik albadou, and worked out that cigar would get beat because it had been on the go since the dubai world cup, cant remember what beat it alphabet something, but i backed it at big prices 25's if i rem correctly, fabre was/is brilliant at getting a winner there dome driver was one of the biggest bets i ever had.

    A tale to tell... bloke i know (customer) asked me once what i thought would win i gave him Invasor said grab the 9/2 he put 6 grand on. same bloke i gave dome driver i said grab 8/1 he had 4 grand on that. Tight b******d never even gave me a drink after they won.

    Not sure that ground will suit but bets were  already on anyway so at least i get a run for my money, like u say will have to be a very good performance to win but i think it was expected to win last week but came up short thats why i wondered about the win and ur in bit. I first saw it last year when he took it to france it was a big price and won a decent race quite well so alls not lost and will have a saver on Finche.

    Can understand how you may have got this draw wrong (24th to qualify) Darran just checked and it (Ashrun) doesn't line up as 24 of 24. am i missing something? Gotta hold my hands up here your dead right bet365 have got the numbers all wrong on their racecard. RP have it right.
