Good morning – apologies for the disruption in service the last few days. I’ve been abroad and out of sync with time and Internet connectivity. I am back now so hope to get in the groove ahead of Royal Ascot. I am also going to start including a bit of rationale, where possible.
Let’s start with some selections for today’s horse racing and the upcoming US Open Golf.
Horse Racing Selections – June 10
Carlisle
4.20 Ring of Gold 5/1 each way (4 places)
4.55 Hostelry 5/1 each way (4 places)
Both of these horses are being jockeyed by in-form rider Joanna Mason today – she’s had success with Hostelry before and Ring of Gold has been 2nd many times now. I think it’s worth getting on these.
Windsor
7.40 Dusky Lord 20/1 each way
Money coming in for this one (was 28/1) – but probably still worth considering. Well handicapped against last winning mark so 20/1 and above looks generous.
8.10 Mamdoh 6/1 each way (4 places)
Handicap mark is out of whack with potential so worth an each way punt in an open race.
Golf Selections – US Open
We have a major this week so let’s take a look at a few options…
The favourite is Scottie Scheffler, unsurprisingly, but there’s no real value at 4/1. Other services may suggest and dance about if he wins but that’s no fun or skill in that! I won’t be selecting him.
Collin Morikawa 16/1 (10 places)
We can take Scottie on with Morikawa – not least as he came close at the Memorial this weekend and comes into the major with form. Try to get the 10 places – if you can’t, there are 6 places for slightly higher odds about.
Bryson DeChambeau 16/1 (10 places)
Another solid 10-place option is LIV golfer Bryson. He was close at the last major and can easily rip through birdies. This course may suit him well so he must be worth considering at this price.
