Arc

I was so worked up for the Arc because much was riding on ith that I forgot to posts my bets before the race. Didn't help that I was working I suppose. Anyway, i'd already mentioned that I had Fame and Glory so it's not an after-timing post.

Fame and Glory £150win @ 9/1
Cavalryman £25win @ 14/1
Stacelita £35win @ 7/1
Youmzain £30place @ 11/2

Champions Day

Bit late for this as they're going down to the start for the Champion Stakes but I have bets in a couple of races.

First off I have Never on Sunday and Fame and Glory in the Champion and then Darley Sun and Fair Along in the Cesarewitch. No time to explain my resons really apart from to say that Never on Sunday ran a cracker at Royal Ascot and that I think this course will suit him. The O'Brien trained favourite is pretty much a bit of cover as I backed the French colt before the latter was declared for the race.

In the Ces i've always had a soft spot for Fair Along and Darley Sun stands out a mile on the weights. Bad stats means he's available at a backable price.

Never on Sunday £25win £15 Pl @ 9/1
Fame and Glory £40win @ 7/4

Fair Along £20ew @16/1
Darley Sun £25win @ 7/1

PS - I forgot to post my Arc bets - they're to follow.

Cambrideshire

This weekend is my favourite of the whole flat season and as well as having a few bets lined up for the Arc I also have one for Newmarket's big handicap tomorrow.

Sirvino was most impressive when winning the John Smith's at York in June and has been kept fresh for this by his trainer. I always look for a horse that's won over a mile and a quarter for this 9f race over the Rowley Mile and my fancy qualifies on that score and hopefully can follow up like Pasternak did a few years back also at around 10/1. The second at York, who I backed, has run well in a couple of Group races since and overall the form has a solid look to it.

Sirvino £50win @ 105/10
