Royal Ascot Day 1

Ten bob tony wins

Well thats a bad start for everyone.

Kind of result that makes you not want to bother

Whats the point if a 112 rated outsider just goes and wins

Even worse if you've followed the horse the last 2 years, and was going to put a small bet on the exchange just in case.
Then your sister pops round cos it's her birthday and you don't place the bet. :oops:

I feel your pain. Just shouted on mission central and gave it a big boom when he won, looked through my bets and turns out I'd not put it on, fuming ! At least i put it on here though ! 😂

Well day 1 was a complete washout as far as my selections went. Not one to give in I go again for day 2

Bint Archange 2.30
Limestone 3.05
Catalina Delcarpio 3.40
Linwood 5.0

Here hoping for a change of fortune, a fool and his money .....🤭
 
Did ok today
Didn’t go mad on bow echo but got 5pts on in the end
Had a small related double on daiquiri with hopewell Friday so hopefully he’s declared and that’ll be a fun watch

Tomorrow looks equally difficult but have punted on
-
Galiyan
Friendly soul
-
Rogue diplomat
Miss nightfall
Sale shark

Likely back ombudsman in big race and have a couple in first at big prices on exchange

Rogue diplomat and miss nightfall will be good results as I got fancy prices on both

Good luck
We’ll all fucking need it
 
Just the antepost winner in Great Barrier Reef for me today at the huge price of 5/1 a couple of months ago #shrewdie

The related first and last race double for me tomorrow. Victorious and Controlla.

Ombudsman antepost

And War Socks tiny each way in the Hunt Cup. And She's Perfect in the Duke of Cambridge.

Map Of Stars was a decent and very needed winner for me today.
For tomorrow's big handicap, the Royal Hunt Cup, my main fancies Indalo and Linwood aren't drawn high so I've also added Rogue Diplomat and Urban Lion.
 
Similar to Bow Echo today , Daryz looks overpriced tomorrow based on his last 3 runs. He should be fav imo and 5/2 looks way too big.
 
Today's to avoid ..😂-----------

Ground an issue Lobos ??.
Possibly but happy to give him the benefit as he looks a much different horse now and last year was his first trip away from home.

Day off so played a lucky 15 for a bit of interest. (all Ryan Moore)
Victorious 2.30
Minnie Hauk 4.20
Radiant Beauty 5.35
Sergei Diaghilev 6.10
 
In the office today so just the one bet since ladbrokes are doing bet 10 get 10

Put the 10 on friendly soul and the free bet on Godspeed

One of them wins il put the retuns on ombudsman but the signal in the office is awful so may not be able to


Yesterday was like my recent cheltenhams. Ante post bet won, on the day bets no good.
