Quick answer
The public result record for 16 June 2026 showed 14 published Lay Picks, 14 settled results, 11 lay wins, and 3 lay losses, giving a 78.6% settled lay strike rate. This review cross-checks the Lay Picks public results page against At The Races, Racing TV, Racing Post, Sporting Life, GG Racing, Timeform, Betfair, and other public result listings.
This was also a frustrating day because there were technical difficulties in the workflow. Two of the losing lays, Pentonville and Duidin, would not normally have been allowed through under the intended protection rules. The issue has now been corrected, but the losses still belong in the public record and the review below explains what went wrong.
A lay win means the selected horse did not win. The best review question is not just whether the row was green or red, but whether the horse's profile and the final race shape supported the lay decision.
Race-by-race review
Each note starts with the settled Lay Picks result and then adds public race context. The aim is to make the result more useful than a bare win/loss table.
14:15 · Thirsk
Talitha Rouge (IRE)
British EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 8.00
- Winner
- Counter Intuitive
- Horse result
- 4th of 5, did not win
What worked
Talitha Rouge was held up in rear, made some brief progress into the final furlong, then faded inside the final 110 yards. Counter Intuitive made all and kept finding, so the selected lay was beaten cleanly.
What to watch
This was a small-field novice race, so the result should not be overread as a broad sample, but the lay itself did not threaten the winner late.
14:40 · Stratford
Estate Planning (IRE)
Stratford Supporting Racing Staff Week Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 7.60
- Winner
- Mayday Games
- Horse result
- 4th, did not win
What worked
Estate Planning was beaten as Mayday Games won the novice handicap hurdle. Public results and racecard sources recorded Mayday Games as the winner, while Estate Planning finished outside the first three.
What to watch
The pre-race market included Estate Planning among the shorter-priced runners, so this was not a throwaway lay, but the result still landed green.
15:05 · Ascot
Rulers Pride (IRE)
Coventry Stakes
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 9.40
- Winner
- Great Barrier Reef (IRE)
- Horse result
- did not win
What worked
Great Barrier Reef won the Coventry Stakes for Aidan O'Brien, with public result sources recording a big-field Group 2 finish. Rulers Pride did not win, so the lay result was green.
What to watch
This was a 21-runner Royal Ascot juvenile race, which is naturally high-variance. The result was correct for the lay, but the race type always needs careful liability discipline.
16:42 · Thirsk
Kings Crown (IRE)
Download The QuinnBet App Handicap
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 9.80
- Winner
- Emerald Harmony
- Horse result
- 4th, did not win
What worked
Emerald Harmony won the five-furlong handicap, with Kings Crown finishing fourth. The selected lay was close enough to make the frame, but did not get to the winner.
What to watch
A fourth-place finish means Kings Crown ran respectably rather than collapsing, so this was a correct lay result rather than a very cold one.
17:08 · Stratford
Saint Polo (FR)
19th July Is Ladies Day Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle
- Outcome
- LAY LOST
- Recommended lay
- 6.60
- Winner
- Saint Polo
- Horse result
- 1st, beat Raffles Nobu by 7 lengths
What worked
Saint Polo controlled a reduced four-runner race and went clear to win by seven lengths. Racing Post also recorded Backer Bilk and Stay In The Game as non-runners, changing the race shape from the original assessment.
What to watch
This was probably a miss after non-runners rather than pure bad luck. In a four-runner race, Saint Polo's earlier hurdle form, headgear/tongue-tie setup, and possible front-running route carried more weight and should have triggered a fresh safety pass.
17:15 · Wolverhampton
Pentonville
Download The At The Races App Amateur Jockeys' Handicap
- Outcome
- LAY LOST
- Recommended lay
- 6.00
- Winner
- Pentonville
- Horse result
- 1st, won by 7 lengths
What worked
Pentonville won easily as the 5/2 favourite, pulling clear by seven lengths. The public result and pre-race sources also showed protective signals around his recent close second, first-time cheekpieces, back-on-AW setup, drop in trip, and shortlist position.
What to watch
This was a clear miss and should have been a SKIP. The technical issue meant a horse with a proper protection cluster got through, and this is one of the two losses that would not normally have been a play under the intended rules.
17:20 · Thirsk
Knicks (IRE)
Next Meeting Wednesday 1st July - Book Now Handicap
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 3.80
- Winner
- Crocus Time
- Horse result
- 6th, did not win
What worked
Knicks was bumped at the start, raced in midfield, switched right two furlongs out, and kept on without danger. Crocus Time led in the final strides, leaving the selected lay safely beaten.
What to watch
Knicks was the favourite, so this was a useful green result, but the race was still competitive with a tight finish between other runners.
17:45 · Wolverhampton
Duidin (IRE)
Free Race Replays On attheraces.com EBF Restricted Novice Stakes Div 1
- Outcome
- LAY LOST
- Recommended lay
- 5.80
- Winner
- Duidin
- Horse result
- 1st, won by 3/4 length
What worked
Duidin raced prominently, led inside the final furlong, and kept on to win. Public sources record this as a 2yo restricted novice with South West a non-runner, reducing the field.
What to watch
This was a clear miss and should have been a SKIP. The strict juvenile rule should have treated the excuse wording, previous AW promise, trainer form, and reduced field as uncertainty and protection rather than as weakness.
18:15 · Wolverhampton
Hadlan (IRE)
Free Race Replays On attheraces.com EBF Restricted Novice Stakes Div 2
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 6.60
- Winner
- Angel Ang
- Horse result
- 5th, did not win
What worked
Hadlan tracked the leaders and ran on inside the final furlong, but Angel Ang won at a big price. The selected lay finished fifth and did not threaten the winner late.
What to watch
This was a juvenile novice, so it deserves the same careful review as the losing juvenile race. The difference is that Hadlan did not convert the run into a winning challenge.
18:30 · Beverley
Persian Land (IRE)
Napoleons Casino Hull Dine In Style From 35 EBF Novice Stakes
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 9.80
- Winner
- Waasil
- Horse result
- 6th/7th in public listings, did not win
What worked
Persian Land raced in midfield, was pushed along, dropped to the rear three furlongs out, and was soon beaten. Waasil won the race, making this one of the clearer beaten-lay results.
What to watch
Public sites show slight variation in the displayed finishing number, but all sources agree Persian Land did not win and was well beaten.
19:00 · Beverley
Bee Farmer
Connexin Ultrafast Maiden Stakes
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 5.10
- Winner
- Lorca's Waltz
- Horse result
- 8th, did not win
What worked
Bee Farmer failed to land a meaningful late challenge as Lorca's Waltz won the maiden. GG Racing and public result listings record Bee Farmer well down the field.
What to watch
This was a straightforward green result on the final outcome, though the pre-race market had respected Bee Farmer enough that the lay still needed disciplined staking.
19:15 · Wolverhampton
Bumaan
Call 01902 390016 To Name A Race Handicap
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 8.20
- Winner
- Ada Rose
- Horse result
- 2nd, beaten 2 1/2 lengths
What worked
Bumaan finished second, but Ada Rose won by 2 1/2 lengths. The selected lay ran well enough to be involved, but could not catch the winner.
What to watch
This was a green result with place pressure. A second-place finish is useful proof only when it is logged honestly as a close-ish lay win, not as a horse that never showed up.
20:30 · Beverley
Rogers Dream
Churchill Tyres Handicap
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 10.00
- Winner
- Anificas Beauty
- Horse result
- 4th, beaten 1.40 lengths
What worked
Rogers Dream finished fourth as Anificas Beauty won the Churchill Tyres Handicap. The selected lay ran respectably but did not get past the winner or the placed horses.
What to watch
The beaten margin was not huge, so this is a correct lay result with some competitive pressure rather than a totally cold green.
21:00 · Beverley
Sassy Glory (IRE)
Napoleons Casino And Restaurant Hull Handicap
- Outcome
- LAY WON
- Recommended lay
- 8.60
- Winner
- Regal Glory
- Horse result
- 2nd, headed final strides
What worked
Sassy Glory led, kept on inside the final furlong, and was headed only in the final strides by Regal Glory. The lay won because Sassy Glory did not win, but this was the tightest green result of the day.
What to watch
This should be treated as a pressure result. It was correct on settlement, but the race shape shows why exposed bounce-back angles still need to be respected.
What the day showed
The finished public record for 16 June 2026 was 14 settled lays, 11 lay wins, and 3 lay losses. The headline number is not the full story because this was a technically difficult day and two losing selections would not normally have been plays under the intended rules.
Pentonville and Duidin were the two clearest workflow misses. Pentonville had a recent close second, first-time cheekpieces, a return to the all-weather, a drop in trip, and a strong enough public shortlist profile. Duidin was an unexposed juvenile with excuse wording, previous all-weather promise, trainer-form positives, and a smaller field after a non-runner. Both should have been protected and skipped.
Saint Polo was different. The original race shape changed after non-runners, leaving a four-runner contest. In that smaller field, his earlier hurdle form and possible front-running route became much more dangerous. That race should have been rerun after the non-runners rather than treated as the same lay setup.
There were still 11 correct lay results on the card. Talitha Rouge, Estate Planning, Rulers Pride, Kings Crown, Knicks, Hadlan, Persian Land, Bee Farmer, Bumaan, Rogers Dream, and Sassy Glory all failed to win, though Bumaan and Sassy Glory both deserve caution notes because they ran prominently enough to keep pressure on the lay.
The main lesson is a protection-cluster one. A single moderate positive can be a caution, but several moderate positives pointing in the same direction should change the decision. That is especially true with juveniles, headgear changes, excuse wording, recent improved form, and meaningful non-runner changes.
