Royal Ascot 2024 Yankee

We've been unlucky. A winner, two seconds with bad rides imo and a NR that no one can predict.

Glad I opted against my pick due to the price as Appleby's are running woefully.
 
Fairy godmother must be a special filly, how has she won that?
 
Got Ryan out of trouble. Had no right winning that from there really. 5/1 guineas is rancid though.

Totally agree about Highbury, it felt like they were holding back. And with Elite Status potentially out, it's really disappointing. Seems like we're having a run of bad luck with these rides. As for Fairy Godmother, she was impressive, but I think 5/1 for the Guineas is a bit steep given how unpredictable things have been.
 
Elite Status a moral winner in my eyes :miserable:
