WHO IS THE FAVORITE AT WINDSOR

If you'd have come to the regular Monday evening meetings at Royal Windsor wanting to lay the favorites. Then think again.........
Justice Lass
Not a Favorite went in all evening. 
 A 13/8 second favorite was the first. Trained by David Elsworth and ridden by Liam Keniry, Justice Lass  duly saw off 10/11 favorite  Little voice by three lengths in the maiden fillies stakes over six furlongs.
Smartie Artie

Yours truly was favorite to win over 1m2f, in the maiden second race of the afternoon for the Newmarket  Godolphin team. But no one had informed the  winning ride of, 14/1 and Smartie Artie ridden by Martin Harley and trained by Jeremy Noseda who came home two and a half lengths clear of the rest of the 14 runner field.

Cullompton based trained Rod Millman's charge Biotic ridden by  Frederik Tylicki took on both joint favorites in  Shell Bay and Thames Knight to win the 1m 2f Handicap in the closest of finishes, a nose and 6 lengths off the weight of 9 st 12 lbs.

Claiming jockeys and apprentices have been lucky this season at Royal Windsor. And again a 5 lbs claimer in Tom Marquand bought home local trainer from Hook, Peter Hedgers Slip Sliding Away home by half a length at a good price of 6-1 from Midnight Rider trained by Rod Millman looking to notch up a quick double.

Again, another local resident near to Windsor Henry Candy from Wantage and his charge Perestroika took the 1m 3 f three year old handicap by four lengths. And again the price favored on the side of the bookies at 11-1
This three year old bay filly by Sir Percy not only trained by the Wantage master but owned by him and a few others to.

Last race of the evening, and another close fought finish. Luke Morris's mount Molten Lava beat 11-4 second favorite Hot Mustard by a head for Paul Cole in the one mile handicap. Completing a six race card with no favorites and a good evening for the bookies. Still though a good crowed enjoyed the later half of the race season  at the Berkshire racecourse.
