Super Saturday Preview
Morning all,
It’s “Super Saturday”. It’s not popular with everyone, given the wall to wall racing during the afternoon with no time to draw breath. ITV viewers can watch a bumper programme of action with broadcaster covering no less than 11 races live this afternoon.
The race of the day is Newmarket's Darley July Cup (4.25), one of the world's most prestigious sprint race. Up at York, it’s John Smith's Cup Day. The feature handicap which has £200,000 in guaranteed prize money goes off at 4:05. Down at Ascot there’s Group action with the highlights of a seven-race card being the Group 2 Summer Miles Stakes (3.35) and the valuable 5f Betfred Heritage Handicap (3:00).
It’s a day that you either love or hate. We’ll I’m in the former camp. That said, it doesn’t make writing today’s column easy. I don’t have the time to preview all the ITV races there are just too many of them.
I have plenty of fancies today and Super Saturday is one of those day’s during the summer when you can have a good swing.
Inside today’s main piece. I have looked at the big races at Newmarket & York. Plus. There’s a second Saturday Lucky 15.
