First day of Ascot and the press are talking up the Stoute/ Moore combination but as ever I will be having a close look at Mark Johnston's runners.
Mj's website Mark Johnstone Racing states that "The Epsom Derby Meeting has seen the yard enjoy its fair share of success over the years, but the real jewel in our crown is Mark’s consistent record of success at Royal Ascot. As ever, Mark will think long and hard about the team of horses he will assemble for this year’s Royal Meeting....Last year’s meeting saw Zaham and Boscobel win for the yard, while 2006’s trio of winners included Soapy Danger."
He sends 3 to Ascot today:
- Harwalla (IRE) 16:20 Ascot
- Shaweel (GB) 16:20 Ascot
- Effort (GB) 17:30 Ascot
Interestingly he sends just one, Jerry Hamilton (USA) 20:30 Yarmouth, on the 219 mile journey to Yarmouth tonight, at 14/1 he has to carry a couple of quid each way..
Back in April "Mark stated at this year’s Owners’ Party that the yard’s principal goal in 2008 would be to earn as much prize-money for our patrons as possible, and that the horses would travel wherever necessary to achieve that goal.
