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!

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.
 
In case Anyone's interested . today on Sporting life website . "Aiden O'brien outlines royal Ascot runners.
First two are Rhododendron & Deuville for the Queen Anne stakes . etc.
 
Dreamfield is an obvious one and looks to be very well treated in the Wokingham.
 
About 4 years ago, I went through the card at Ascot. Basically paid for the wedding. I came home to my finance and I was like "I've won 6 grand!". Much fun was had.

But as the conversation progressed she asked more about the bet.

- What odds was it?

- 66,000/1!

- How come you only won 6k?

- I only put 10p on it

- Why didn't you put a pound on it? We'd have a deposit for a house

-......

And I haven't had a single winner at Ascot since

Great story robith but I'm a little confused why you didn't tell the missus you won 2k and load 4k into your Cheltenham pot....

Haha Ista - surely the 10p acca indicates that might be a bit rich for my blood. I'm up to the heady heights of a fiver a point at Chelters and £2.50 the rest of the time
 
One very simple strategy for my Royal Ascot - will be backing all Hugh Taylor tips blind. He is quite frankly a brilliant tipster and the only one I am aware of who has all his tips online (for the last 9 years, scroll to bottom of page): http://www.attheraces.com/tips/atr-tipsters/hugh-taylor As you can see his ROI has improved year on year.

For those that are aware of him yes the prices go across the board in around 10 seconds so difficult to get on every day but just about possible - not that I do. I did some analysis of his tips over a year ago and he was definitely more prolific on the All Westher (rarely tips on the jumps), and particularly his 2 pointers (never does more than 2 pointers these days). So I always back those.

From memory I believe his last 3 year's of Royal Ascot tips have yielded a decent profit - obviously no guarantee the same will happen this year of course. Great thing about Royal Ascot is that due to the liquidity in the market you have a decent chance at getting the prices either the night before when he posts them on the ATR website (after a 5 min head's up via his twitter account), or early the next morning when they can drift back out. He's already tipped a couple antipost.

I realise many of you astute punters would rather pick your own, but for anyone like me who doesn't know much about the flat it does keep things easy :)

He blows most tipsters out of the water. It won't be the worst strategy to follow him at Royal Ascot as you'd imagine the prices of his selections will hold at the bigger meetings.
 
Skybet have a boost.

Sergei Prokofiev (Coventry Stakes) and Harry Angel (Diamond Jubilee Stakes) both to win, was 9/1 now 14/1
