Ebor Festival York 2014 Feature

Darley Yorkshire Oaks & Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes Preview

In the opener today trainer Ryan has Fast Act. Yesterday he had the winner of the sprint, Blaine, which I tipped up on ABC at 20/1 so hoping for the sprint double. New Providence provides stiff opposition imo. Taking wins on Fast Act and each way on New Providence with the exacta.

Cnc,maybe you can answer this and it might be a silly question, but why in a lot of the feature/main races in the uk, are the fields so small? Is it due to the quality being small, or is it just due to there being so many options at so many tracks in the uk?

In a lot of big races in the uk you have to earn a place in the race. That's my only explanation (I think I could be wrong)

Its definitely not the quality been not up too scratch. Maybe Bob can provide the correct answer.

I am sure it's due to the quality of nominations, who wants to be beaten 20 L by Frankel or Australia ( they scare them off)

IMO

I understand what you are saying, however when you racing for 13million, I couldn't care if I came second by 35lengths. It will still be a very juicy cheque.Maybe I am not talking sense, just my opinion....

Can't really back Tag at that price but Kool Company at around 5/2 might be worth a stab.

Is VENUS DE MILO outclassed ?

Anthem Alexander @ 3/1 imo the bet of the day in the next. Beat Twiggy Wiggy at Ascot in June
