Lost the 1st—nice finish from #2, holding off odds-on #3
2nd
#5 ONE MASTER currently sits at 1/2, so going with #7 VALERIA MESSALINA(Dettoei/Harrington) and #8 ALTHIQA(Buick/Appleby)
Xboxing 1-4-5-7-8

Caught what should be a short exacta while nailing the top 3 finishers—-tough nose loss for Frankie @ 8-1 |

Good morning spider.
R1- Used winner Cepheus ($13.00) on top, didn't have the place horse.
R2- I used One Master ($5.00) and Breathtaking Look on top- 3,5/1,3,5,7,8,13 Exacta $38.40 paid much better than I expected.
One Master got the Kameko treatment but managed to find a seam late, just got the nose down.

3rd
Hard to go by #1 KHALOOSY in a very small field in which any could finish 2nd. Using #2 MY OBERON underneath for a cold chalk exacta 1/2
———————
Wow—missed a great opportunity to toss the chalk, as runaway maiden winner #5 TILSIT(Moore/Hills) runs down #2 as the 2/5 #1 could never get by....
Duh.....chalk-eater

R3- short field of five. Odds-on favorite is #1- Khaloosy, and deservedly so. Just demolished a field of 22 in the Britannia S. at Royal Ascot. Takes logical step up to a GIII today. Only play I can see is TRI- 1/All/All and hope for one of the longer two in 2nd. Strange race, but can't fault the winner which just powered on by while drifting in towards the far rail. Khaloosy looked ordinary today.

Surely Tilsit is coming down here although he was much the best

Chalk never tastes good....
Probably should skip the 4th, though trying a shotgun Xbox 3-6-8-9-12
Good luck!

R4- 3,15/1,3,8,10,12,15
Been waiting for Sir Busker to run back, and Prompting steps way up off two solid victories this season. Sir Busker had no where to go trapped behind the tiring Vale of Kent; I can see now why horses can struggle at this course. Through no fault of your own, or perhaps the draw, you can get put in a box that's impossible to get out of (see: Kameko). Prompting certainly looked like a good one today, but was getting a ton of weight from the top ones. Exacta $81.80

Thanks Bev. Now I'd love to see my girlfriend Liberty Beach knock off Battaash. No bets.

Battaash is just three lengths faster than any other sprinter over there. Using Communique over the others in the Glorious S.
