    I've never been to Royal Ascot, but I'm going twice this year - Wednesday and Saturday.
    Will be looking on here for some insight, as I am about as clueless about the flat as I was 5 years ago about National Hunt (although, some would say that I still am!)

    Keep 'em coming

      SKybet are 9/1 Battash and Cracksman (boosted from 5/1) on Sky in the specials... which is a really good value boost... whether ou like either, its hard to argue they're a 9/1 shot doubled up

        I'm lost, who is Harry Potter in the Coventry?


        On a more general point, and not aimed at you specifically, but is this "Scat Daddy" at Ascot not just COMPLETE coincedence? I can't fatham that genetically a horse can run better on a certain track because of its parent. I don't understand what the logic would be behind it. A lot of much more respectable judges thann me wheel the line out and I've never heard it explained - and I've never heard it about any other horse(sire) at any other track.

        I see how it doesn't do any harm, but Pricewise on the RP podcast advocated backing Scat Daddy's blind at Ascot... now that might be profitable, but I'd love to know HOW rather than back something blindly, because to me, it looks like luck!

          That’s one antepost bet down already a day after placing it ; this flat game is just like Cheltenham!

                Agreed.
                Stats without a logical basis/rationale are obviously just stats.

                        Im assuming hes referring to Aidan O'brien as Harry Potter so Sergei Prokofiev in the Coventry.
