Not quite the lovely day we were promised by the weather girls, but the sun is always shining in my world and we have some nice racing to have a look at. I will be having a little each-way Yankee for a bit of fun on a lazy Saturday afternoon; feet up and a glass of wine.
I am taking a bit of a punt in the 2.45 at York with Sphinx. The twelve-year-old is no hen born in March and hasn't been seen since on a racecourse since April but the old stager has winning form on soft and heavy, flat and hurdles, and the distance of two mile two furlongs is not a problem. The gelding might just give the young'uns a bit of a scare at a big price.
Anyone who knows me will know my bet in the 2.30 at Ascot and it will be Dinkum Diamond. The going is a concern as the colt has never run on anything worse than good but the Flying Childers form is fair to say the least and he can be a major player in this.
Later at Ascot I like the look of The Betchworth Kid in the 3.40. He looked to be coming back to form at Haydock last time and the going is ideal.
In the big sprint at York I am siding with Hawkeyethenoo, he is consistent and has a course and distance win to his name, the dangers are too many to list but Poets Place and Knot In Wood are amongst them.
Be lucky
