Hi ya all. Our Royal Ascot Preview is up and running on our YouTube channel. If you can have a watch also comment below under the filming/podcast of your selections or who you looking forward to seeing at Ascot. Please RT if possible 👇🏻👇🏻

@thebedfordfox@RacingPost Use the Timeform ratings on the Sporting Life website or even better check out The Racing App. Both free.
It’s a wrench but once you leave, you never look back 👍🏾
It is completely understandable that decisions taken by BHA officials may prompt passionate debate and be subject to robust scrutiny.
This is the nature of elite sport and something we do not shy away from.
However, we will never accept vile and unacceptable abuse directed towards BHA officials. This is a growing problem, especially on social media.
Some of the recent commentary under our posts is simply appalling. Everyone involved in British racing deserves to be treated with respect.
@equinties Aga Khan Studs racing manager Nemone Routh: “We have always said we didn’t really want to run in this race if the ground got too soft. It’s not because he doesn’t handle soft ground, but it would become a real test of stamina and I think that the track would really find him out
@myracingtips Yeah, plotting and training a Melbourne cup winner is SO simple nearly every top European trainers done it....
It’s a non-discussion. He’s clearly talented, dedicated and hard working. THATS why he gets entrusted with quality horses.
So Behrayna goes in again today this time over 1m 4f. Going for the Diane it seems.
If she wins fair play but I genuinely think the Oaks was for the taking.
Berahyna for Graffard and Aga Khan racing has just sluiced up at Paris Longchamp.
This was a listed race over 1m 3f and she holds an Oaks entry. She’s out of Sea The Moon and surely will not be dropping back to 10f for the Diane.
Just saying.
👀 Why almost everything you read about football statistics is nonsense - and what it says about the traps punters can fall into
Football betting legend Kevin Pullein shares his wisdom as part of the Racing Post at 40 series 👇
@Beerbetnfooty Fair point about ATR. Still it is a significant step up on RP!
TheRacingApp. Access to race videos & use of their ratings. Alongside ability to input ratings and see what odds that produces.
Sporting Life. Timeform ratings, race videos, and P&L for all their tipsters
Even before its recent trials and difficulties I like many others had ditched the Racing Post website as a source of information. Other more reliable and user friendly sources are available and have been for years.
If you don’t like it just walk away.
@nickmordinisgod On the ratings I use I have Item’s Dante performance 3lbs better than Benvenuto’s Chester win. Marrying that with Item still looking green and the potential for improvement at 12f I would have him favourite.
@nickmordinisgod@RowleyfileRRR@mp_horseracing I’m so sorry.
I hadn’t read your @ and now realise you’re Nick Mordin, one of my punting heroes and I appear to be lecturing YOU on the dosage index. I only know about the dosage index because of you and your work. I will be over here quietly thinking about what I’ve done.
@nickmordinisgod@RowleyfileRRR@mp_horseracing She has a Dosage Index of 0.45 and a negative centre of distribution both of which are strong indicators for stamina.
Equally her stride data strongly suggests middle distances will be beyond her.
Personally I don’t think she’ll stay but 🤷🏾♂️
