Stan James Bonus Code for 2012 Coral Eclipse
- By A.J. Ryder on June 20, 2012 17:42 GMT
It's been a rollicking two days at Royal Ascot with two stand-out performances punctuating the 12 races run so far. Frankel, a true living legend, got things off with a bang in the Queen Anne Stakes to romp home by 11 smashing lengths in what many are saying is the greatest performance ever rated by modern handicappers.
STAN JAMES BONUS CODE FOR ROYAL ASCOT AND 2012 CORAL ECLIPSE!
As if that wasn't enough, we've then had New Zealand-bred So You Think pulling off a stellar Group 1 victory in the Prince of Wales Stakes over a valiant Carlton House, who was running in her majesty's colours.
Backed down to 10/11 at the off, So You Think rewarded punters who had been backing him considerably in the ante post after it appeared certain that he would withdraw from Queen Anne contention and duck Frankel this time out.
The Coral Eclipse looks the likely destination for So You Think and Frankel also boasts an entry for that race, which is set to run at Sandown in a few weeks time. Frankel has a number of different options open to him but this is the likely destination if he is going to step up to 10f – something it looks like he would relish doing, if his performance on Wednesday was anything to go by.
The bookmakers are assuming that Frankel won't be showing up in the Coral Eclipse at this point and this has prompted them to take So You Think into 4/6 from his previous price of 6/4. You'll find third place Farhh trading at 5/1 ante post alongside Carlton House, who will be out looking for a revenge performance. Bonfire, Excelebration and Nathaniel are all expected to reward at 8/1 while Frankel's veteran stablemate, the globe-trotting Twice Over, is trading at 16/1.
Dubai World Cup winner Monterosso looks an interesting shout at 14/1.
Notably, Frankel has been taken into 1/2 to defeat this year's breakout star Camelot in the Qipco Champion Stakes, with the three-year-old usurper priced at 6/1.
Several more high-calibre performances are expected at Royal Ascot over the next few days as Fame And Glory looks set to hold onto his crown as best staying horse on the planet, in the Ascot Gold Cup. Meanwhile, the Australians obviously have something planned for Black Caviar, who will be looking to end the meeting with a bold declaration. How can she top the two previous days? We can't wait to find out.
