UK- Ascot - King George VI & Queen Elizabeth S. (GI)- 7/27

[tenfurlongs]

Auguste Rodin returns to Ascot following his win in The Prince of Wales's's S. (GI) at the Royal meeting. He'll be facing Godolphin's world traveler Rebel's Romance, last seen winning a GI at Sha Tin in Hong Kong in May. Also opposing will be 4yo filly Bluestocking for Juddmonte/Ralph Beckett fresh off a victory in the Pretty Polly S. (GI) at the Curragh last month. Others in the field are Sunway, Middle Earth, Dubai Honor, and 2-4 other Coolmore runners, along with French raider Goliath which finished second in the Hardwicke S. (GII) at the Royal meeting.

Great supporting card with two GIIIs, a Listed race, and three solid handicaps. Terrific betting fixture starting at 8:15am ET, so make some coffee and get stuck in.

Used Bluestocking on top and thought she was going to blast by all of them, but the French colt was rolling home. Didn’t see that coming, seemed like one that was better on soft going. Auguste Rodin is good when he’s on song, but ordinary when he isn’t.

Fave looked washed out and never comfortable.
Had luck with German breds more than once.

I was happy to bet against Auguste Rodin but went with BlueStocking.

never seen this before - King George winner Goliath has stringhalt, which is neuromuscular condition, meaning he stomps his back legs.

You might have seen it with this horse.
