THE NIJINSKY STAKE’S HAS A CLASS FIELD OF RUNNER’S TO TAKE ON THIS EVENT AT THE ASCOT GROUND’S..
THE RACE IS AT THE DISTANCE OF 13F TURF WITH GROUND ON THE FIRM SIDE …

STALL 1 DELTA RIVER..4 year old Chestnut Homebred Colt… coming from the trainer (owner) imatiger or will this one be made into a pussy after this race.
the colt has had 21 race’s with 3 coming in the way of win’s and 5 place’s with 4 show’s and prize to his credit of $169.431.
and is bred by AWESOME AGAIN = RIVERMAN = PLEASANT COLONY …..the colt has been running in some tuff event’s of late 
and i dont think it’s going to make any head way in this race eithier even thou its 7/2 odds say it’s in with a chance i dont think it is
today maybe another race another time. i reckon the colt is more of a 9f to 11f horse it may find one to good for him today but
 people can be wrong and i dont think its today.the colt’s last run was at the distance of 11f turf and and speed rating of
93 in an allowance 42500 and finshed 2nd with 1 lenght and a half behind the winner.but DELTA RIVER was closing like a train at
the third call the colt was 8 and a half  lenghts behind and in the straight blistering speed to catch up to the winner to get with that
distance for a defeat nice run would have to produce that kind of run to take this and maybe a speed rating of 95+ to win this.
so my reckoning is this will be there in the end but might find it a little tuff at the shake up the best postion i say is third but best of luck

STALL 2 MARQUET RATE….6 year old Brown Homebred Horse. this colt come’s from the owner TIMETOFLY..this could be the one that’s flying high
in the end. the colt has a record of 36 run’s with 11 win’s 5 place’s 5 show’s and a prize pot of $365.045 (nice pot there) it’s bred by
EXCHANGE RATE = MARQUETRY =  SEATTLE DANCER…now this one is a clear chance to me yeah i know it’s 2/1 joint fav thecolt’s last run was
at the distance of 12f turf and a speed rating of 97 in an allowance 15600(T). the colt ran this dostance three race’s ago and finshed
2nd and a speed rating of 96 and that’s good enough to take this race so if he can produce that hes in with a excellent chance of winning
this without much trouble here today.im surprised the horse hasnt went back to dirt cause its got some nice runs on there aswell as it has on turf
so maybe something to think about it the horse fail’s today.but the colt has had a nice prep run last race to be even sharper for this today.
the colt will sit near or at the back to produce it’s run from there and will have to time it to perfection cause it’s not the only nice one in here.
so this could set up to be a thriller at the finsh of this stake’s race. what strike’s me with this colt is 5 run’s ago the horse ran in a grade 2
at the distance of 13f turf on firm ground with a speed rating of 82 not sure if the horse came back lay off or need’s rest but come back
with the following run bounced back with an excellent run at the distance of 13f firm and a speed rating of 96 and that’s some horse
in my eyes to do that and it was a stake’s race and got beat by a head to the winner of that race and that’s a nice come back that
struck my eye and after that its been nice run’s form there. and if i was TIMETOFLY i would be expecting a nice run today so best of luck

STALL 3 MAKEMINEDOUBLESHOT…5 year old Chestnut Homebred Mare…this is the only filly in the race and outsider of the lot and i can say its going to struggle
very bad to stay in contention with the other horse’s in the field..the trainer of this one is FIRSTTIME well must be if he put this in the stake’s race well i reckon i have claimers
that would beat this so if this win’s i will entering my claimer’s in stakes from now on.. the mare has had a record of 20 run’s with 2 win’s and 3 place’s and 3 show’s
and aprize pot of $57.198..the mare  is bred by  TREMPOLINO =  CEE’S TIZZY =  FAIRY KING …really to be honest im lost for word’s what to say about  this maybe
try putting it back in claimer’s and have ago at sprint’s might have better luck sorry but look for a climing race worth $10.000 and get it in it will be safe
nobody will take it  and get a tag and try claimer’s or starter’s caus ethe mare is way out of her leauge here in this sort of company so all i can say is
best of luck

STALL 4 DREAM VILLAGE(FR) 5 year old Brown Homebred Horse….this colt  look’s good for it’s price (odds) of 2/1 joint fav with MARQUET RATE
i like this sire look’s strong but that’s my opinion … the colt has a track record of 29 race’s wth 5 win’s and 5 place’s and 5 show’s and a price
pot of $156.857.the colt is breed by DREAM WELL (FR) =  PANCHO VILLA =  LORD AT WAR(ARG) …this colt has never been 13f before the futherest
the colt has been is 11f turf and a speed rating of 98 so maybe the two extra furlong’s may suit him i think cause DREAM WELL(FR) look’s good
for more distance when it run’s. so really good relish the 13f task today but look’s awesome in sprint’s with a run at 6f and a speed rating of
101 so really it’s hard to judge the sire and horse.yeah i go for a sprinter more than a router but give the horse the benifeit of the doubt he might do well
in this race i reckon i will wait for after this race to make my full judgement when i see how this run at this distance 13f but if the horse fail’s today i would differnet
go back to sprint’s with him after this if he fail’s but let’s not go there yet…the colt’s last run should be ignored there must have been something wrong
cause it wasnt the best of run’s at the distance of 9f and a speed rating of 87 and finshed 8 out 10 starter’s so there must have been something
a miss with the run cause it ran 9f 5race’s ago and a speed rating of 95 and it was on good track so that might have been a bonus for the horse if the owner can try and find a good track
seemed to shine on that off track last time so that might be another way to go after this  one best of luck…..

STALL 5 OL TWINKLE TOES(IRE) 5 year old Chestnut Homebred Horse…this colt im really surprised it not fav but i cant do that fix the odd’s but this is one that will surely
get the 13f and look very strong doing it i the task..this colt has a track record of  33 race’s 7 win’s and 8 place’s and 5 show’s and a price pot of $334.408
the colt is bred by THEATRICAL(IRE) =  PLEASANT TAP =  MARQUETRY…this one i really like in this race wow look at the odds 4/1 if this was real life racing and you
could bet real money well this would be the one i gambled on.the colt had a run at 14f graded 1 turf last outing and didnt do so well in that but just ignore that
race cause it seem’s like the colt dosent like an off track but least you know that now and expect more better performance’s from him two race’s ago the colt ran 14f turf on
firm track and a speed rating of 97 so the colt will love the drop down a furlong in this type of company so the colt  OL TWINKLE TOES(IRE) should crusie home..
the colt might and take the lead from wire to wire and take the victory over the rest of them.the colt has a score to settle with CASEY’S QUESTcause CASEY’S QUEST beat her in the grade 1 the colts last run by
4 place’s and CASEY’S QUEST had a speed rating of 96 but i think OL TWINKLE TOES(IRE) will have the beating of CASEY’S QUEST today, the colt hada run at 13f turf a couple of races ago and a speed rating of
91  and looked a nice second place fast finshing to get within 1/2 lenght in the final stretch from being 7 and three quarters behind to get to the winner.
so this is my pick for victory in this event today good luck

STALL 6 CASEY’S QUEST.5 year old Chestnut Homebred Horse.this colt is looking to hold OL TWINKLE TOES(IRE) again today but might find it hard cause its not a off track its firm so
OL TWINKLE TOES(IRE) will take its revenge today..the colt.s has a track record of 37 race’s 9 win’s 6 place’s and 4 show’s and a prize pot of $472.500.. its breeding is like GULCH =  RAINBOW QUEST = NUREYEV
the colt had its last run in a grade1 with finshing 3rd and a speed rating of 96 at 14f turf gd..the colt will be in the battle at the finsh with his rival OL TWINKLE TOES(IRE) and   DREAM VILLAGE(FR)
so its going to be a ding dong battle forthe line so  get ready for a battle of medium size giant’s today its going to be a awesome watching them battle it out for victiry and this one getting second to OL TWINKLE TOES(IRE)
so its no disgrace finshing second…this colt will maybe sit mid pack and try and keep up with the rest of the field and produce its run form there and snatch second from the others runner’s running on
for minor placing so best of luck and come back and have a rematch

GOOD LUCK TO ALL INVOLED IN THE RACE AND COME BACK HEALTHY TO FIGHT ON ANOTHER DAY GOOD LUCK ALL
