Haydock (1st leg 2.25), Ascot and Newmarket provide the races for today's ITV7.

The Ascot meet is the Shergar Cup and i had half expected the ITV7 to be solely concentrated there. All 6 races at that meeting are handicaps of 10 or more runners, so i will most likely choose 4 for a secondary L15 and e.w. acca, with my main bet coming from the other meetings.

Ken, have you seen the offer from William Hill:

//// Frankie Dettori To Ride A Winner At Ascot ////
Evens, was 1-2. Bet up to a tenner.

Decisions .... decisions .....
Not a big fan of the Shergar Cup meet Ken, although it has the handicap races that we like. It just seems a little contrived and dare I say somewhat politicised. Ah well said the soul, snipe over. Done the bets regardless of course and split the ITV7 into two punts. ****E/W Acca, Trebles &Doubles. ###Win Trixie. Off out to Conwy safnoon for a stroll and a gargle. Good luck if you are having a flutter.

Hafeet Alain @8/1 2.25H*
Andaleep @14/1 2.45A*
Al Aasy @15/8 3.00H#
Rainbow Fire @9/1 3.20A*
Fallen Angel @10/3 3.40Nm#
Regal Empire @8/1 3.55A*
Quinault @5/2 4.30A#

I also like the look of Midnight Mile in the 3.00Haydock and have had a win bet using my free bet from Skybet.

Giz, i've concentrated more on their football offers today; i have bets running on both the England ladies match and the Arsenal match (delayed by a half hour?). Got double the odds for my Build Your Own bet on the ladies match and a free bet as a result of having a punt on the Arsenal game.
I don't particularly fancy any of Frankie's 5 rides. That said, would it be a surprise if he took them all into the winner's enclosure? :-)
Question Author
Good luck, as per usual, Togo. Like you, i'm not a big fan of the Shergar Cup, ergo the small stakes L15 at that meeting.

Main bet;

4.15 N'm; Gweedore @ 6/1 - 4 places
4.45 Hay; Pearl Eye @ 11/2
5.20 Hay; Destined @ 11/2 - 4 places
5.50 Hay; Lockdown Lass @ 6/1

Win singles, 20p L15, £1 e.w. acca. 4 placed = £17, 4 winners = £2,130.

Ascot bet;

1.35; Bond Chairman @ 9/2
2.45; Scampi @ 5/1 - 4 places
3.55; Sovereign Spirit @ 22/1 - 4 places (£1 e.w.)
4.30; Radio Goo Goo @ 16/1 - 4 places

20p L15, £1 e.w. acca. 4 placed = £70, 4 winners = £13,488.

ITV7; above qualifiers, plus; Isle Of Jura (Rev f/c with Hafeet Alain), Midnight Mile (£2 win), Perotto & Carolina Reaper (£2 win). £1 e.w. acca.

Also done a L15 at Redcar; Painter's Palette, Vondelpark, Fortuitous Star and Funky Town Pinkie for a poss £4,354.

Best of luck, all.

Could do with seeing a couple of yellow cards in the ladies match - Russo to score (tick), over 2 goals (tick) England win (leading 2-1) and 2 yellows (none yet). Poss return £65 - Come on ref, get them cards dealt :-)
Question Author
Unfortunately the ref kept her cards close to her chest. Well done ladies.

The Arsenal bet looks good; Saka to score (tick) and both Nketia (tick) and Rice to have at least one SOT. Just waiting for Rice, now - hope i don't get served chips instead:-/
Question Author
43 minutes and Rice obliges - £35 in the bank:-)
Nice one Ken.
I didn't bet on Frankie but my missus did.
I followed the advice of a friend who's a big horse racing gambler and he said his best chance was in the 15.30 .... he finished 3rd.
No winners yet for Frankie and he's 20-1 (was 22-1 earlier) in his last race at 16.30.
Question Author
Giz, jusy for future reference; the jockeys don't get to choose which horses they ride in the Shergar Cup - they are allocated their mounts by way of a ballot. Although, apparently, there is some sort of computer wizardry at hand which is supposed to ensure that all the riders and teams have an even spread of fancied horses.
I believe that if he had the choice of rides, Frankie would have been seen in the winner's enclosure once or twice:-)
