It just gets better & better, as today we visit the flat racing HQ & of course that means real grass not that dreadful AW stuff.
Two nice handicaps in prospect, too, as follows;
17.20 - 6f, 11 runners, Good to Firm, draw advantage HIGH
17.55 - 7f, 12 runners, Good to Firm, draw advantage HIGH
Newmarket has 2 courses, the Rowley Mile & the July Course, & with the clue in those titles, today's meet is on the former. In this photo & with the aid of telephoto lens, we can clearly see "the dip" which is at the distance just as the race starts to reach the sharp end.

The 2 cards;
17.20 Newmarket
17.55 Newmarket
As we are at Newmarket, let's turn back the years & treat ourselves to this spine-tingling race, it's not often we see a horse absolutely destroy a high class Classic field like this.

Excellent Times (Phil Dennis) @ 16/1
That was some performance by Frankel.
5.55 DEEP INTRIGUE
His in-running price plummeting as soon as the market went in-play. I remember seeing 1.03 very early (at what I estimated to be the half-way stage, possibly earlier), something I couldn't understand.
When I returned home, I watched the recording of the race. I now understood.
Oh, and we lost 0-2.
My picks for tomorrow are...
Magic J (although I am amazed he wasn't gelded over the winter).
Bear Force One
Kimifive
&
Hateya
Thank you
Cliffs Of Capri
Asda
Good Luck!
