Gang of 7 Hit Grass for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes

The United States’ Congress has their Gang of 6, six mostly older gentlemen who are desperately trying to save America from financial Armageddon.  Ascot Racecourse in Great Britain will do one better with a Gang of 7 on July 3 when the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes is run.

A lot of times, upwards of fourteen to twenty horses will jump into a prestigious race like the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, one of the most prestigious in the world, but that’s not the case in 0.  This year, only seven horses will enter the starting gate for the Group race at &frac; miles over the turf, but…what a Gang of 7 they are!

Entrants with odds for the race are below.

How good is this group of horses?  Debussy, the longest shot on the board at 66/, won the Arlington Million in 00.  Midday, at 0/, hasn’t finished worst than first or second in seven straight races going back to 009, including finishing second to St. Nicholas Abbey and Misty for Me in the Group Coronation Cup and Group Pretty Polly Stakes in her last two.  Seville, a 5/ shot, is not only trained by Aidan O’Brien but finished second in the Irish Derby and second in the Group Grand Prix de Paris in his last two races.

There’s also Rewilding, the Godolphin runner who goes into this off of a victory in the Group Prince of Wales Stakes.  The Mahmood Al Zarooni trainee is at /4 to win the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.  Nathaniel, who won the Group II King Edward VII Stakes in his last and has been receiving positive press leading up to the race, is at 5/.  Why such gargantuan odds on name horses to win on July 3?

So far, horse players are flocking to the two chalks in the race, St Nicholas Abbey and Workforce. St Nicholas Abbey, the / second choice, beat Midday in the Coronation Cup after a flat sixth place finish in the English ,000 Guineas.  Another O’Brien trainee, the horse has incredible class and deserves to be the second choice to win the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

But it’s hard to argue against the favorite winning on July 3.  Workforce, the 6/4 chalk, won the Group Investec Derby and Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in 00.  In 0, the horse has won the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes and finished second in the Group Coral Eclipse Stakes.  Workforce appears to be sitting on a top effort and should be taken very seriously in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes even though the odds are slim.
