Weekend Racing Insights: Ascot and Haydock Bets
As we look forward to Saturday’s racing events at Ascot and Haydock, Andrew Asquith provides his betting recommendations, including a notable 2pt wager.
Highlighted Bets for November 23rdPark Annonciade: Back him each way at the Haydock race (1.15 PM) with odds of 25/1 (1/4 for places 1-4 – available with Sky Bet, Paddy Power, Betfair).Blueking d’Oroux: Wager on him to win in the Ascot fixture (2.45 PM) at a current price of 4/1 (widely available).
The weather conditions this week are predicted to be far less intense than my recent experience in Bahrain where I watched Spirit Dancer clinch his second victory at the Bahrain International Trophy amid extreme heat. In contrast, England’s forecast suggests colder temperatures; thus, fingers crossed that racing can proceed without interruptions this weekend.
A Closer Look at Park Annonciade
I want to delve deeper into Haydock’s opener and spotlight the potential of PARK ANNONCIADE from trainer Stuart Crawford’s yard as he takes part in the Betfair Racing Podcasts Handicap Hurdle (scheduled for 13:15). Last year saw him triumph in this very race under a weight that is now two pounds lighter than what he carries today. Given his return to hurdles after two difficult attempts over fences where he failed to finish, I believe there’s considerable promise here.
PARK ANNONCIADE came into last year’s event riding high after securing victories in a novice hurdle at Perth along with another hard-fought win at Ayr against Ginger Mail—a formidable competitor who faltered near the finish line during their meet. He notably excelled once more when winning here last season, comfortably overcoming a five-pound hike following his success at Ayr by demonstrating consistent control throughout and only appearing fatigued toward the end.
This horse showed resilience despite some set-backs afterward; however, returning down in trip may have hindered his performance on occasions like Musselburgh where sharp turns posed challenges or Ayr’s ground earlier this year. His chase debut didn’t conclude positively due to an unexpected health complication—he bled from his trachea—but upon re-entering competition recently over fences back at Ayr earlier this month before being brought down while still well-positioned indicates recovery is underway.
PARK ANNONCIADE will be running beyond two miles for just the second time since claiming victory previously—a likely enhanced strategy considering both pedigree and observable stamina throughout past performances suggest adaptability upon changing terrain. At odds of around 25/1, those numbers offer encouraging value despite earlier concerns about popping blood vessels during races which may urge caution amongst punters looking toward risks posed by possible field withdrawals seeing him currently rated number twenty-seven among entries.
Pursuing Opportunities with Blueking d’Oroux
A fascinating matchup awaits us over at Ascot as we consider opposing Golden Ace—the enforced favorite harboring an impressive unbeaten streak throughout her career thus far—most notable being her title showdown versus Brighterdaysahead during prestigious events such as Cheltenham factored prominently into evaluations stacked against contenders seeking resilience when battling male competitors now positioned alongside her.
The Case for Blueking d’Oroux
I am particularly drawn towards BLUEKING D’OROUX trained by Paul Nicholls seeking redemption within these ranks after scoring big victories last season—namely anchoring strong performances from first joint runs under UK territories sporting formidable introduction prices prior but perhaps failing lacking expectations therein subsequent invitations witnessed thereafter shaping up competitively more upon recognition following breathing enhancements prompting significant improvements translated thereafter onto successes noted cumulatively across various gambles made concerning margins captured en route clearly show promise returning again amidst a blossoming trajectory further ahead sought viable aspirations worth scrutinizing thoroughly before yields even larger stakes involved entirely moving forward constituting perfect gateways emblematic unfolding venture launching forth hence coordinated efforts.”>,Happend!!!!!!!”/dodok;
