On Ascot’s Champions Day, there may be value in betting on two other British races, the QEII and the Balmoral Handicap. The Group One mile contest at 3.20pm features Talk Of New York, currently the favorite. Due to a quieter season, some competitors may be affected, but this colt, owned by Coolmore, appears talented and capable.
His strong late acceleration in recent races could make him a strong contender. In the finale, the Balmoral Handicap at 4.35pm, two horses, EBT’S GUARD and TRIBAL CHIEF, offer betting options at 16/1. EBT’S GUARD, despite lacking appeal, is consistent and has a strong record over Ascot’s straight mile. If he breaks on terms, he could be a threat.
Tribal Chief, who has struggled with slow starts, could also surprise if he finally breaks through. His each-way bet at 16/1 could be valuable if he performs well.
