Could history be written today?

3.40 Ascot - History writer

A few days ago I would have called you Barking if you thought History Writer had a chance today.
The going was good and the distance half a furlong to short!
I went with the horse to Saint Cloud November 2019 the going was much the same as it is today.
That day he was a world beater! And we realised the key to the horse was the ground.
The heavier the better!
I'm not saying the horse will win today but he has a better than a 50/1 chance!
No horse will be finishing stronger if he can stay up with the pace mid race. The seven places Sky are offering seems like a gift!

Nuits St George makes a seasonal reappearance today he is a class act! Whether he wins today or later is a matter for the gods but he will be tested to the limit by Frontispiece.
Who will love the ground and finished close up to Flyin Solo (one of David's horses that will make a name for himself this season!) I watched Flying Solo on the gallops with Wonderful Tonight last season and honestly couldn't split them but sadly Flying Solo got injured and couldnt fulfil his potential last year. I'm sure he will be on the right side for the punters this year!

So I've done a £5 Each Way cross double on the two races today

I may have blown £40 but I think the odds are worth it.

If by good fortune I make a profit I'm going to have a pop at

Keepers Choice 4.40 Nottingham

Both trainer and jockey are having a purple patch so why not?

    Sorry guys

    So close but so far

    I hope some of you backed flyin Solo today.

    Even with a potential 10 lb raise he will still win more races this season.

    Wonderful Tonight won 2 group 1s

    So listed or group 3 races could be flyin solos future

    Bellaccio runs tomorrow don't look at the price. he lost a front shoe in his last race.
    He might not win tomorrow but if the ground is softer than good he should be in the shake up.

    He has 3 runners at Salisbury Betty Crean LA and Rewired will run close but Icannot recommend backing Magenta
