Royal Ascot Day 1

Having a read of the handicaps proper now, in the ascot stakes calling the wind caught me eye, very consistent performer and form at ascot reads 1223, i've had my paddypower free bet on him
 
Absolutely buzzing about the upcoming racing as there's some serious quality this week not to mention all the punting opprtunities.

For my multiples, I hope Modern Games, River Tiber and either Highfield Princess or Coolangatta wins. For the handicaps, here's what I've backed and nice to see some of them have shortened.

17.00 - Law Of The Sea / Calling The Wind
17.40 - Buckaroo / Royal Champion
18.10 - Ruling Dynasty / Point King / Chillingham

I absolutely love solving the handicaps so at least 1 win would make my day!

For Wednesday, I've already backed the below for the Royal Hunt Cup.

17.00 - Ghaly / Blue For You / Astro King / Point Lynas

Good luck everyone!

Cadillac looked a new improved model last time

Was his first start on quick ground since a gelding operation and he showed a superb turn of pace

​​​​​​Aye, Cadillac or Bolshoi Ballet would be my picks if I had to. The 11 top rated (of the 15) are rated within 3lb of each other though. And the favourites not even one of them. It's the kind of race I know I'm best avoiding!

Few Calling the Wind fans coming up. Maybe I won't get my 14s :welcoming:
 
Love Royal Ascot, hopefully this year is as kind as previous ones. As always I pretty much bet in every race, more for fun than anything else, so my complete Day 1 bets are:

2.30 Modern Games 2/1

3:05 Bobsleigh 16/1 E/W & Zoulou Chief 80/1 E/W

3:40 Highfield Princess 5/2

4:20 Paddington 11/4

5:00 Bring On The Night 2/1

5:35 Cadillac 10/1 E/W

6:10 Ruling Destiny 4/1 E/W & Absurde 7/1 E/W


I wonder how many losers I can muster up out of that lot :highly_amused:
 
Have 2pts ew on Asadna at 6s when Hugh Taylor put him up
have 0.5pts ew on Raymond Tusk at 66s when Tony Calvin put him up

My only bet today other than those is Paddington at 11/4, 2pts

Really detached from flat form, and have a torrid Ascot record (even the day I had every single winner is a infamous losing story in my household) so keeping it small and to what I've seen/voices I trust

Couple of things..... I have "Modern Games" in the 14:30, "Paddington" in the 16:20 and "Bring on the night" in the 17:00 as a win trixie for tomorrow.

Also. It is SO odd seeing Vauban being lined up for a flat race after all that jumping. 7/4 is a crazy price though and I would sooner have second fave Dettori on Absurde (Stable mate) at 5/1.

Based on what?

Absurd wouldn't get within 20l of Vauban in a Hurdles Race

I'd imagine based on their flat form in France.

Both rated 46kg in France on the flat, albeit Absurde has run more times than Vauban. There's little to say either would be superior on the flat than the other at this stage, IMO, so at the prices I could see why Absurde could seem a better 'value' bet.
 
Heavy rain at Ascot. 10mm in an hour. Going expected to ease.

Vauban is very short to find out though is the problem

If he was 3s definitely worth a few quid but at 7/4-15/8 in a very competitive handicap happy to swerve him

I had same view as yourself mate. But 5/4 in places now! Jesus! I think he's good enough to win but surely cant back him at that price with the amount of runners in there! I was looking a small drift at least to have a go on him, but seems to be well supported!!
 
Just a couple of singles for me today,
Francesco Clemente at 9-2 and
Highfield princess at 9-4

Doubt it'll make much difference

The clerk wouldve probably but 6-8mm down anyway

Surely still be good ground on the straight track

Parts of the round track may ease to gd to soft
 
Irad ortiz isn't riding today, Johnny velazquez taking his rides, might have a small saver on fandom if modern games wins the first
 
365 and WH doing Frankie 1+ winner at EVS
 
Here's my blind and deaf darts for day 1

1430 - Inspiral / Light Infantry EW (20s 4P)
1505 - Asadna / Bobsleigh EW (18 5P)
1540 - Highfield Princess / Mooniesta EW (50 6P)
1620 - Isaac Shelby (7s 4P)
1700 - Bring on the Night / Irish Lullaby EW (20 6P)
1735 - Cadillac / Foxes Tales EW (50s 4P)
1810 - Vauban / Get Shirty EW (33s 5P)

With all the extra places on offer, all about the big prices places for me this week, with a couple of fun multiples on the shorties.
