Nunthorpe to Radio tuned

Kingsgate Native landed the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes as a juvenile in 2007 and Radiohead bids to rerun the feat in Friday's Group 1 heat at York.

Brian Meehan's colt did extremely well to overcome trouble in running and land the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, and one thing in favour of the juvenile the only two year old in the field is the huge weight for age agreement which he receives.

Meehan told www.brianmeehanatmanton.com: "Radiohead produced a high-class effort at Royal Ascot and we think this race will play to his strengths again. There should be enough of pace early on, the five furlongs is ideal and the ground should suit."

He added: "The fact that he gets all the allowances is a further encouragement to his chance and his work in his build up to this race advice he is in excellent form."

Jeremy Noseda accept he is taking a bit of a punt with Mythical Border, not seen since finishing down the field in the Cheveley Park Stakes. Before that, though, she had shown plenty of ability when third in the Flying Childers.

Noseda told www.jeremynoseda.com: "William Buick will ride this filly. Admittedly it is an ambitious target for a filly having her first run of the season but we feel, looking at the available chance over five furlongs, that we have nothing to lose by letting her take her chance."

Royal Ascot Event - The World's Oldest Racing Event

Well, we know that the Royal Ascot is the world’s oldest racing event, and that it was established in 1711. Even a quick glance at pictures of the grounds proves this. Bringing in over 300,000 spectators, it’s the largest racing event in Europe.

We also know all about it being one of the big events on the British’social calendar’, with its strict dress code and High Society etiquette. To get into the Royal Enclosure (the best seats in the house), you need to be invited by someone who has been to the track four times already. There’s a whole host of rules that today’s sport fan might find a little out-dated, like the Picnic Policy, the fashion shoots and a whole host of other strange habits from a by-gone era.

But there’s one thing that we don’t know - who’s going to win this year’s Royal Ascot.
And it’s just this reason that makes the betting so exciting.

Some are looking to Russian Rhythm, trained by the famous Sir Michael Stoute. It’s possible - Russian Rhythm won it in 2003. Others are pointing at Banks Hill, Andre Fabre’s filly. Maybe: Banks Hill took the Breeders’ Cup and Mare Turf in 2001. But it seems the biggest opinion is sitting with Indian Ink, last year’s winner. Trained by Richard Hannon, based in East Everleigh Stables, Indian Ink just might surprise even the most experienced bookie.
