City of Troy?

If I was AP O'brien right now I would be really embarrassed about my "best ever horse" finishing well back in the pack in the Breeders Cup Dirt.

Why did he run it on a surface he had never ran on against top US horses who were used to a fast break and getting to the front and staying there.

Not the style of City of Troy a very under raced horse this year.

If he was the wonder horse AP claimed at the start of the season he should have run at Ascot and a lot more races besides if he expected it to compete on dirt against World class dirt horses.

This year in the 2000 Guineas where he finished 9th, just like the year before, and probably next year, we can expect another Ballydoyle par excellence to turn up and flop in the first classic.

He will probably be put off to stud now after a really dissapointing classic year where he failed to compete and when he did he ran on dirt against top World class horses and was found wanting.

I hope AP is embarrassed, he should be, so should all UK bookies pricing him up as the favourite.

Free Horse Racing Tips...

These are my ITV7 picks for Saturday's British Champions Day racing.

It is basically the end of British Flat Racing today and despite this the horse we were all excited about at the beginning of the season, City of Troy, has been pulled out of races he had seemingly be entered in.

City of Troy was the "special one", AP O'brien assured us. He was as good as Frankel at the same stage of his career and was going to storm the Newmarket Rowley Mile like Frankel did he confidentially told everyone.

Despite this hype, the horse fluffed his lines coming 2nd last in the 2000 Guineas, just as August Rodine had the year before.

However there was redemption. The ITV racing team basically exploded over AP for getting him ready to race and win the trip he was bred for in the Derby, before another couple of wins and a lot of entries and pull outs.

We thought we would see him at Royal Ascot, Glorious Goodwood, the Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe but no he was pulled due to the going, and so again he has been pulled from any race today for probably similar reasons

From the Racing Post I can see no more future entries not even in the Breeders Cup or other US races which I had heard AP mention a lot.

I would not be surprised if he was slotted away in the Ballydoyle stud machines and never heard from again.

Such a shame to go from a possible Frankel equal to a 3/4 wins/races in its Classic year and... Goodbye.

I hope it's owners will keep it running into its 4th year, but if not, I doubt I will hear it's name mentioned again, and never amongst the greats, as it has never had the chance to compete against other great horses.

If he is put to stud and ITV commentary ever mention his name again I will throw my remote at the TV.

He does not deserve to be creamed over, just like AP creamed over August Rodine last year as one of the best be had ever trained.

What happened? Exactly the same thing.

He lost the 2000 Guineas and then won the Derby. The trip both horses had been bred for. It was just the going they were scared of.

So Los Angeles, Kyprios, Charyn and Economics are all racing today, but not all on their preferred going.

That is the true test of a Champion horse. Frankel won its last ever 4th season race against the 2nd ranked horse in the world that season Cirrus Des Aigles by 1¾ lengths on soft going he hated.

Frankel came out the stalls last. It lost sight of Bullet Train it's pacemaker and had to make it's own way up the field where it finally overtook the French horse a furlong out to win.

So it's last race was not an ideal start yet despite this, it's class shined through and it won in style.

Frankel had raced at all distances, all ground conditions and against the next best in the world, according to Longines.

Did I wish it had gone to the Breeders Mile Turf, to face Wise Dan, yes, but alas it was the end for Frankel.

If this is the end for City of Troy we will have many more races where it was missing from the field to protect its "stud fees" than races to remember.

I hope I never hear it's name mentioned again and I am sure nexy May at Newmarket Ballydoyle will be creaming over a new "untouchable" star horse.

This is what I don't like about Flat racing, the grab for semen stained pound notes at the end of their classic year, by owners.

Anyway this is my ITV7 for British Champions Day, so don't forget to do your own.

Prix de Arc de Triomphe

I have had a couple of extra bets on this race due to free bet money done sites are giving away on top of my picks I previously talked about.

Scroll down for videos and discussion of the Arc runners.

The Tote+ is giving away a free £2 bet to anyone on the site to bet just n the Arc, and Coral gave me a free £2 bet for my birthday.

So I've used those to place on some outsiders like Shin Emperor and Mqse De Sevigne @ 25/1 who has a RPR of 132 the same as the joint favourite Sosie @ 9/2 and has won its last four races.

The going is soft which is why many horses have been pulled like City of Troy which has hardly raced this season.

AP's "Frankel" as he called it before it was demolished in the 2000 Guineas before making a comeback win in the Derby, will most likely be retired at the end of the season for stud duty.

This is a real shame and a reason a lot of racing fans like myself, that prefer flat to jumps, get pi**ed off when good horses are retired so early. Especially if they have hardly raced.

Also in earlier races at Longchamp Bradsell is racing for Hollie Doyle at 14.05 and Al Ghadeer an unbeaten French horse in the Qatar World Cup at 14.40.

I have no idea why I didn't put that horse down as my ITV7 pick for that race unless it was an accident. I did enter late at night so it could be a possibility.

Anyway lots of long price runners with a good chance in the Arc and it's a shame its not a strong field due to the ground but that could mean a big prize win if your lucky!

Use those free competitions and free money on the TOTE+ app and ITV7 to enter for free and you never know you might win big bucks.

£2 @ 25/1 is almost £50 minus their free stake so don't waste your own money pickng a longer price runner for the best and biggest prize flat race of the year.

Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe news

Also there is a new favourite for the Arc, Sosie @ 4/1, who just won a top race in France, in a way I like to see race horses run, sitting on the shoulder of the then favourite and oddschecker second favourite Look de Vega @ 5/1, before overtaking him 2f out and powering on to win.

It's won 3/4 races this year, coming third in the other.

French trained horses who win their last race at Longchamp have a good record in the Arc but the weather is going to play a big factor this year with some horses being pulled at the last minute if the going is soft.

The third ranked horse is the Japanese entry, which they are placing their hopes on this year it's called Shin Emperor @ 7/1.

They have never won the Arc before, a race Japanese fans come all the way to Paris for each year to cheer on their Japanese chances.

The good thing about this horse if you look at some of its races is that it's won coming from the back and from leading at the front.

Los Angeles, one of just many AP O'Brien chances still in the running for the race, is for some reason ranked 4th @ 8/1. However Ryan Moore's pick of the Ballydoyle runners, City of Troy, the Derby winner, sits mid range between 11/1-33/1 (depending on the bookmaker).

However but I think the W Haggas horse Economics who beat all of the favourites but Sosie, in the Irish Champion Stakes recently, with a close finish with Auguste Rodin seems a better valued bet.

Depending on who go with you can get from 17/1 to 33/1 for this classy 3yr old who has won all four of it's races this year.

Many on oddscheckers list if they will run, like SavetheLastDance @ 9/1, who isn't on Coral as a runner will need supplementing and many will still pull out due to the weather.

This is a shame as that four year old was a good runner but it hasn't raced this season. So it might be worth waiting closer until the 6th Oct until picking a horse or two to bank on.

However odds will shorten so if you pick now to get a good price make sure it's NRNB so you get your money back if it is withdrawn as a non runner.

Anyway do your ITV7 for Saturday! There's a lot of small field races and W Buick on 2yr olds, who has the best jockey strike rate on horses that age, which is why the odds are shorter than normal.

Also, note in my next article that I have some of my Coral Super Seven Series selections which only have to place to win you the competition. So if the race is the same I might have picked a different runner than the ITV7 for the race.

Tomorrow is the last classic of the flat year, and the oldest, the St. Leger.

Why Ireland had to choose this day for their Irish Champions Day I don't know unless it was to just p**s people off and divide the horses and jockeys across the sea and make helicopter pilots some extra money.

The St. Leger has the top 3 in the market, Illinois @ 2/1, Jan Brueghel @ 7/2 and Grosvenor Square @ 15/4 all trained by AP O 'Brien.

However Timeform has Sunway @ 5/1 as its pick to win the race but in all likelyhood it's going back to Balkydoyle with little difference between the 3 AP trained horses although I like the profile of Jan Brueghel to hopefully win this oldest of races.

If you want to see R Moore he will be over in Ireland racing on Auguste Rodin @ 9/4 against Economics @ 7/4 a W Haggas favourite in the Irish Champions Stakes.

Other good horses are running like Los Angeles, Ghostwriter and Luxembourg.

Enter your own ITV7, it's free, so nothihg to lose.



I hope to see AP beaten on his own turf by the Dante winner and unbeaten this season British runner.

FANTASTIC MOON WINS AT BADEN-BADEN

My favourite race of the year is running on my birthday this year on Oct 6th, the Prix de L'rc de Triomphe.

This is race seems to overlook top German horses like Torquator Tasso (sweet 80/1 winner!! 🤑 in 2021) where I bet UK bookmakers overlook Fantastic Moon, as they did the last time the Arc ran on my birthday in 2019.

I had an early antepost bet on the winner Waldgeist, the German horse who had come 6th the year before.

His SP was131/10 (basically 13/1), but my price was much bigger. I had put it down ASAP after the previous Arc race. It was a nice win and it stopped Enable winning it's third Arc.

Watch this race from Germany where this famous race has been won by a horse with an amazing turn of foot and oddschecker currently has it priced at 50/1, although a few websites I've checked have it now at 25/1.

So it might be worth doing a little side bet, as the current favourite is the French unbeaten Look de Vega who has only raced three times in its career and is 3/1. City of Troy is currently 20/1.

Football...

Who will win the Premiership this season?

Will Arsenal lead all season and then bottle it like they did the last two and let Man City take the honours or have they learnt to keep their nerve?

I just wanted you to show how even when you are skint you can make money from small accumulators on the football using Euro Elite teams.

This one is made from three low priced favourites who really should have won, and did making £5 @ 3/1 = £20.

Build your years betting bank by not adding too many teams into accas. The no I have lost by one match is incredible!

Don't forget that Sunday's are a great day for betting. Top teams like Dutch (PSV, Ajax, Feyenord, AZ Alkmaar), and other big goal scoring teams like Benfica often play.

Free Horse Racing Tip

This looks like a Willie Mullins n son bumper (fix) / guaranteed win (hopefully), they had 12 in a row last season.

Then they had a real short priced odds on unbeaten in three runs fav who every sporting site supported and guess what? It lost by miles.

I wouldn't say Irish Racing is fixed....but after the Punchestown festival where not one W Mullins Cheltenham winner won on the main days, I wouldn't say it seems totally on the up n up.

All beaten at the final moment by another Mullins horse by a nose or another seemingly unlikely finish.

Scroll back to see the runners and write ups about unlikely losses if you want.

Its probably dropped in price by now though.

These are just two automated accas generated by Coral after doing their free Super Seven Series competition where you just need the runner to place in each race to win.

Do it, it's free to enter. Join if your not on Coral, take the £30 free joining bet, use matched betting with Betfair if you want guaranteed free cash £14 if you back and lay the same runner and take the difference.

Or just bet, back a cert football game inplay at the moment in the Championship and I have a feeling if Man UTD do their usual in derbies and finals and play well that they could win at big price.

It's worth more for a punt on the outsider especially against a short priced fav 1.70 v 4.33 so roughly 4/6 v 10/3 so I'd risk Man UTD beating City in yet another final rather than going odds on in a derby where they usually both play their best. In a two option game or three if you include a draw for 90mins then I would never go odds on.

I remember being in hospital when Man City were a stupid odds on price to beat Chelsea in the European Championship Final and Chelsea were 7/1 or 8/1 and I put a tenner on Chelsea for fun and they won 1-0 so you never know.
