Suburban: Asiatic Boy sitting on big race Asiatic Boy in action at Nad Al Sheba in Dubai, where he was one of the top performers in three seasons. Belmont Park Saturday: A race that might produce an early contender for the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) at Santa Anita in three months’ time, the 10-furlong Suburban Handicap (G2) has drawn an interesting field of ten. Previously won by champions like Easy Goer and Invasor, the Suburban no longer holds a top grading but there are names in the mix here bordering on top class. Not least the previous Mike de Kock trainee Asiatic Boy, who goes into this race off a strong effort on his Stateside debut. Globeform ratings, rating profiles and analysis to the Suburban, Dwyer and Prioress now posted. Part of the Weekend Ratings Special Read more...

Eclipse Stakes: Sea The Stars meets Conduit Sandown Park Saturday: Dual classic winner Sea The Stars goes head-to-head with last year’s brilliant St. Leger (G1) and Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1) winner in the Eclipse Stakes (G1). So often a tricky contest for three-year-olds, the Eclipse has felled recent Derby winners like Authorized and Montjeu, but Sea The Stars is a short priced favourite to win the 10-furlong event. Conduit will not be easy to beat though, having run such a fine race when failing by just a nose in his attempt at giving seven pounds to fellow Eclipse runner Cima de Triomphe over this course and distance in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes (G3) five weeks ago. Rip Van Winkle, a fine third to Sea The Stars in the Derby (G1) at Epsom, also takes up the challenge, as does the game and consistent four-year-old Twice Over. Racing fans are in for a treat!

How Moneycantbuymelove was advised @ 15/2! Betting on a race normally best avoided Royal Ascot: Globeform editor Geir Stabell explains why a race he never bets on at Royal Ascot, takes his interest this week. Ratings have something to do with it, a lot to do with it in fact, as this selection looks very leniently treated in one of the big handicaps. And no, before you ask or try to be clever - the horse is not running in the Royal Hunt Cup. Moneycantbuymelove is a filly that tempts me into having a serious bet on a race I normally swerve each year, the Sandringham Stakes (LR), a mile handicap for fillies. This is always such a tricky affair, and more often than not a brick wall for punters trying to get out on a winning note on day two of the Royal meeting. Michael Bell trains Moneycantbuymelove, a strapping daughter of the successful tallion Pivotal, and he was quick to nominate this valuable handicap after her win in the Hight Of Fashion Stakes (LR) over 10 furlongs at Goodwood last month. The handicapper gave Moneycantbuymelove 96 for that impressive off-the-pace win, and that looks too low. In all probablity, it is the best part of ten pounds too low, and she is a must bet here. She earned Globeform 103p for her win at Goodwood, where she beat Fallen In Love, after having produced GF 96p to take third behind Take The Hint in the Pretty Polly Stakes (LR) at Newmarket on her previous start, when she also tackled 10 furlongs. Take The Hint is a leading contender for the Ribblesdale Stakes (G2) on Thursday, and Moneycantbuymelove’s runner-up at Goodwood, Fallen in Love, went on to run a good third behind Splashdown and Apple Charlotte in the Weinstock Memorial (LR) at Newbury. There can be no doubt; this form is worth a higher ratings than 96 and Moneycantbuymelove could well be one of the best handicapped horses to run this week. Now, the negative factor also needs mentioning, and that is the distance. The way she ran at Goodwood suggests that a mile and a quarter suits her better than a mile, but the Ascot mile is a stiff one and if the early pace is strong, Moneycantbuymelove can pick them off one by one in the final furlong. She is best priced at 15-2. Geir Stabell MONEYCANTBUYMELOVE WON @ 9-2 Read more...   Geir Stabell - broke the rule of betting only to small stakes in big handicaps, and hit the jackpot!

How Globeform picked Summer Bird... Take this 50-1 now, before it melts right down! Posted 30 May: Ante-post betting can be a risky, dangerous, sometimes downright folly business. All too often, that wonderful big price future wager turns out to be on a non-runner, and thus a loser, or on a horse that turns up on the big day only to find that conditions are totally unsuitable. Names like Quality Road, I Want Revenge and Fantasia are good examples of horses that did not run in classic so many had backed them for, while Rainbow View, Dunkirk and Delegator spring to mind as recent losers that would have done better under more suitable ground conditions. When one gets 50-1 about a horse with a wonderful profile for the race in question, however, and that horse is guaranteed to go for the race, which is not too far off, and likely to get perfect conditions on the day… Well, then we simply have to place a bet. Summer Bird is the horse in question. He is way too big in the future betting for the Belmont Stakes (G1). The third leg of the US Triple Crown will be staged in New York on June 6, meaning that the chances of a mishap preventing Summer Bird from turning up are not too big. Compared to the odds we can get with Bluesquare as well as Bet365, it is a risk we can easily live with. Summer Bird was too short on experience when running in the Kentucky Derby (G1), but he finished really well to be sixth, beaten by Mine That Bird, Pioneerof The Nile, Musket Man, Papa Clem and Chocolate Candy. All those were much more experienced than Summer Bird, but in passing the winning post 13 lengths behind Mine That Bird (after having been shuffled back early on) he ran a fine race. And the best news is, he had produced an even better preformance in the Arkansas Derby (G2), where Summer Bird finished by far the best from a seemingly hopeless position to take third. Summer Bird was dead last and detached from the field down the backstretch, but came rolling like a star in the making through the last quarter. He checked in just 1 ¼ lengths behind Papa Clem, as Old Fashioned was second. That was only his third lifetime start. A mile and a half will not suit many of the Belmont horses. True, it will probably be to the favorite Mine That Bird’s liking, but take him out and all but one are suspect stayers; Summer Bird. Not only will he stay the trip, he will almost certainly improve vastly for this step up in distance. He bypassed the Preakness and comes here a fresh horse, while Mine That Bird has had two hard races now. Backing Summer Bird, whose sire Birdstone upset the Derby / Preakness winner Smarty Jones in the Belmont five years ago, makes a lot of sense. An each-way bet at 50-1 means you hold a win bet that can give you a great profit, plus a 10-1 place bet. Great value, which is why this price is unlikely to last – take it now.
