Blue Rose Cen

Impressive filly begins her 3yr old campaign in a Gr3 at 1m in about 45mins at Longchamp. Post time is 9:25am central time.

She was a dominant winner of a Gr1 race on the Arc undercard last October, and has four wins from six career starts, including two Group wins.
Surprisingly, she's not the ML favorite.

Wins for fun again, this time in a Gr1 over her favorite course and distance: 1m at Longchamp, where she's 4-4.

Very nice filly

She sat 3rd for most of the race.

Last time she lost a race it was in a photo with BC Juvenile Turf winner Victoria Road.

That post was about her previous race, the Prix de la Grotte, which she wired about a month ago

Another smashing win, this time she stretched out a bit and easily won the Gr1 Prix de Diane (which I guess is also the French Oaks).
Stalked inside, took over and ran off.

Too bad they didn't bring her to Ascot this week.
Brilliant filly

Yes the Prix de Diane is considered the French Oaks. They weren't going to skip that race; completed a rare triple with the major 2yo race, the Guineas equivalent, & the Oaks equivalent. Proved her stamina today & put up a fast final time. Joins great horses like Zarkava & Allez France with that triple.

The 2nd & 3rd place fillies are both from the family of the great Arc winner & broodmare Urban Sea.

Dam of Galileo?

Looking forward to betting Inspiral against Modern Games in the Queen Anne. Hopefully he is overbet in the pools over here.

Yes, also the dam of the great runner & sire Sea the Stars

Was thinking the same about Modern Games. Appleby has been decidedly mediocre this year after winning just about everything in 2021 & 2022. Modern Games won last time but IMO he's always been a cut below in Europe & he got beat at Keeneland earlier this year.

It's not a particularly exciting field, though, so he can win if Inspiral isn't ready off the layoff.

When I bet UK/Ire racing, the price I get on the ADW I use matches the Tote price reported there (adjusting for the $2 vs 1{pound} prices). It's my impression they're merged, no?

Of course the prices with the fixed price bookmakers may vary.

Or is this a case where Ascot is World Pool, and some of our ADWs aren't participating?

Agreed. Inspiral ran huge to win the Coronation at Ascot off a similar layoff last year.

One thing to note is Inspiral's price is affected by Frankie Dettori & his very successful farewell tour. All his mounts are reportedly getting bet ahead of the Royal Ascot meeting.

But maybe that's not so much an issue in domestic pools.

Meanwhile, Dettori is starting to let the success get to his head a little. He's been enboldened to defend his horrendous ride on Stradivarius last year in the Gold Cup which got him temporarily fired by John Gosden.

I'm just hoping he has less farewell tours than The Who.
