York Ebor Festival Day 2 - The Locks

The Festival moves to day 2 and we have 2 group stakes, the Group 1, Yorkshire Oaks, and the Group 2, Lowther Stakes.


In the Lowther Stakes, we have 11 2yo fillies line up going 6 furlongs.   The Locks likes Best Terms at 8-1, 3 for 3 with jock Richard Hughes up.   Fire Lily at 7-1 also is a good play as filly already won a group stakes at the Curragh in a good time.


Lets go $10 win on Best Terms, and $2 exacta box BT and FL


The Yorkshire Oaks is for 3yo+ fillies and mares going 12 furlongs.  Banimpire at 6-1 already has 7 wins in 13 tries and is a multiple group stakes winner.  Crystal Capella 7/2 is an accomplished race mare including winning the Group 2 Princess of Wales Stakes at Newmarket.  Blue Bunting is short priced at 11/4 with with wins in the Irish Oaks and English 1000 Guineas.   Banimpire will be my play $10 win and then lets box up the 3 above but will result in a relatively low paying exacta.


Good Luck!!
