York and Ascot each provide 3 races for the ITV7 with a spin on the all weather at Newcastle making up the numbers.

The 2.05 at York opens proceedings and the '7' ends with the 'King George' in which Auguste Rodin hopes to banish memories of his dismal performance in this race, last year.

Just getting a bet sorted before going out to dodge the rain. The mighty Istabraq died this week aged 32. Not many horses like him in a lifetime. Perhaps John Durkan gets to train him now.

Just noticed you're on Divine Libra in the 3.00 Ascot, Togo. I've backed it all season but i've left it alone today. Bound to win, then🙄

Rest easy, Istabraq.

A super horse, indeed.

[Ken4155]

A truly amazing horse. No-one would have got rich backing it as it was nearly always odds-on, but punters loved watching it run.

A grand old age for an horse, too..
