The Race
 

The straight course at Ascot underwent complete reconstruction ahead of the course’s reopening in 2006. Ascot now has an uninterrupted straight mile course following the elimination of the road crossing and a completely new drainage system has been integrated. The Golden Jubilee Stakes is run on the final six furlongs (1,200 metres) of the straight mile, with the course rising gradually throughout from the start to the winning post.

G'day pharfromoz :) being northern hemisphere located, any thoughts on non Oz horses, anything from the states nominated?

nothing looks familiar.

for some reason we dont have alot of 1200 sprints on the turf up here.

if i see something ill give a hollar.

Amadeus Wolf ran 5th in last year's Golden Jubilee and 4th in the July Cup..,, scored first-up in the Duke Of York Stakes (1200m) at York last month..,,I'd be wanting more than $7.50

Asset, a lightly raced 4YO faces his biggest challenge..,,an onpacer and fresh..,, but others could go a bit too quick for him..,,unders imo at $9

Was it Benbaun that flashed home late in last years Golden Jubilee behind Les Arc? if so his run was sensational on that occasion and do either Les Arc or the horse that ran 2nd (Whether Bebaun or whoever) have any form at all since.

That was Balthazaars Gift (50/1 that day), Raw..,,currently listed 70/1..,,done nought since that run..,,Les Arcs (33/1 that day) won the Darley July Cup (1200) following his Golden Jubilee win but failed dismally at York (1200) mid May last..,,currently listed 20/1

Yea you are right I knew the name started with B anyway might be worth a specy at that price was a hell of a run last year if it could recapture that form at all.

I was actually lucky enough to have landed Les Arcs at $51 i think last year on fixed odds for the Golden Jubilee and I thought I got double figure odds in the July Cup aswell wasn't sure what he has done since then though.

Good one Raw..,, his run in the King's Stand before hand was much better than it looked..,, finished midfield..,, got held up a few times..,,wasn't beaten far at the end

No I had seen that that was half the reason why I had a shot at him in the Golden Jubilee did find it interesting that he had been over the hurdles before hand.

Over hurdles! :eek: Now I know why I didn't back him last year lol
Still, very strange :confused:

Les Arcs needed the run at York!
Had a wide draw, big weight & an easy track which did not play to his strengths.
Same race Amadeus Wolf an impressive winner.
Has matured further since his last campaign.

Been reported that there's been 1 bet of $16K at $5.50 with Sportingbet Australia on the Lee Freedman trained Miss Andretti to take out the Golden Jubilee Stakes. Not you westman!?

I wish ;) Go the fighting tigress!!!

no doubt the Oz invaders should do well but I'll be having some both totes AL QASI. won 4 from 6 last season. failed [but not beat far] first-up behind Amadeus Wolf in the Duke Of York Stakes but not known for first-up ability.

Soldier's Tale an interesting nomination.
Won 3 from 5 before being sidelined for 22 months before making his reappearance when a fighting 3rd behind Amadeus Wolf in the Duke Of York Stakes (1200M).
Followed that run with another fighting 3rd over 1400M at Haydock.
Obviously much fitter for those runs.

Hope they don't get too greedy. Winning in course record time must have taken something out of the engine room.

i understand what ur saying but regardless of the time she would have put in the same effort to win the race in whatever time..... if the time reads 59.44 instead of 57.44 and she still wins it doesnt mean she's done it easier...... they went there to win from the start. they would have planned for her to be at her peak for the king stand but yes the only doubt was whether she would back up. i dont think they would have ever even thought about just giving her the run in the king's stand to save her for the ascot

shes won the first 3 legs of the World Sprint Challenge, why stop now? ;)

My thoughts exactly, Chuck :)

But I'm sure if she's not right she won't run.

didnt take them long
big offers for Miss Andretti
from a Kentucky and a European stud

Playing the exotics around the aussies in particular Miss Andretti [for obvious reasons].
Best of locals probably Amadeus Wolf, Al Qasi, Borderlescott, Firenze & Soldiers Tale.

good plan
 

sounds like magnus will be sticking around to continue racing in the nh to add to his stud value

Someone's really laughing now!

and i thought my 100 bux at 5.50 was looking good!

yeah, makes my 5 minties same odds look insignificant

A bit of rain Royal Ascot, track now rated good to soft, soft in places. No greys :( The downunder trio look very strong. Miss Andretti, Takeover Target & Magnus. Baltic King & Wi Dud are my outsiders.
