Flying Five Option For Battaash
The G1 Flying Five S. is the lone European Group 1 over five furlongs missing from Battaash (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire})’s CV, and the 6-year-old gelding could get the chance to collect that Curragh prize on Sept. 13.
Sheikh Hamdan’s Battaash is unbeaten in 2020, having taken Royal Ascot’s G1 King’s Stand S. prior to a fourth consecutive score in the G2 King George Qatar S. in July. He was last seen defending his title in the G1 Nunthorpe S. on Aug. 21.
“We will keep all the options open for Battaash and just see how the horse is and go from there,” said trainer Charlie Hills. “I’m happy though with the way he has come out of the York race. We have got Ireland, France for the Abbaye, then America for the Breeders’ Cup and they are probably the only three races for him. We will have a chat with the team next week. No decision has been made, but Ireland has certainly not been ruled out.”
Hills also provided an update on another of his Glorious Goodwood winners, Juddmonte’s promising 3-year-old Tilsit (First Defence), who won the G3 Thoroughbred S. He could step up to Group 1 company for the G1 Prix du Moulin on Sept. 6 or take in the G2 Boomerang Mile at Leopardstown on Sept. 12.
“He had a small setback which meant we missed a few days with him, so we had to miss the Celebration Mile at Goodwood on Saturday,” Hills said. “I’m very happy with the horse now and he worked really well on Wednesday. The Moulin is an option and there is the Boomerang Mile which he would need supplementing for, but I’ve still got to talk to the team at Juddmonte first.”

Beat Your Online Poker Opponent
Playing and winning online poker is a science. It is both a skill and an art of mastering things that most players take for granted.
If you are signing up for an online poker game, keep in mind never to choose the “any game at this limit” option. By choosing this, you are also hindering your capacity to take control of your position on every sign up list. There are options that give you the privilege of having the top position by winning and giving up the place by quitting and at the same time you could still rejoin and have you name at the bottom of the list.
Always look for a card room that fits your style. This way you always get the upper hand. If luck strikes in and you get on a bad round, look around the page for another table.
Playing two games at the same time seems a nice idea. It seems that by doing this, you could double your money in one playing hour. This could be true for some players, but remember, it happens for a few and not for everybody. Besides, playing two games at a time would definitely lay down your small blind more and you sure are most likely to tilt. Keep yourself focused on one game. This way you could have the upper hand especially if you’re playing a major, drawn-out pot. Playing one game at a time also helps you play straightforwardly with only one opponent to concentrate on.
There is online software that has proved to be marvelous. However, there are minor glitches that you need to stay away from. This is the “in-turn” button. This button allows the player to act on hand before your actual turn and allows him to go back trying on other moves. But there may be instances that the internet connection may not be at their best. There may be a time that while clicking the “check in-turn button,” the action may already be on you. What will happen is that the “call” button might be popping out on your screen in the place where you are supposed to click the “check” button.
In poker, the only sure way of winning is by showing down the best hand. This is true not only for casinos but for online as well. However, there a number of reasonable ways a smart player could increase his chances of winning. The sure way of acquiring winning poker skills is by checking out how players deal with their games and keeping in mind the right moves.
