Blank yesterday although thankfully not as many bets/money staked. But still half way to fucking it all up :ROFLMAO:
To be fair i should be in profit for the week even if i draw another blank.

Similar today as the draw bias really doesn;t help now that it's so extreme.
Danger today is that in the straight track races all the jockeys come over to the stands side and just get in each others way, or the opposite. Who fucking knows.
did back the american horse in the last in a saver double with Sabre strike today

anyhow, todays stabs

Force Noir
ethical diamond
almerac and aramram both ew Flora of bermuda ew (really fancy flora but was out to 50's last night so might not run or something up)
Sabre strike and catullus
binhareer - will back something else for sure but spent loads of time on it and hard to fancy anything else aside from the top 2
Harmonics
Piece of Heaven

done some multiples today for the first time but i'll not bore you with them.

GL (y)

edit - forgot flora

Been a good week so far with handicap winners each day. I do love trying to work out these big field handicaps. Nice to see money has come in for Spy Chief and Soldiers Tree who were 12s and 25s yesterday. I've also backed Evanesco and Lost Boys in the other handicap today but Lost Boys is now too short imo.

Outside of the handicaps, one i like ew at a decent price is American Queen in the Jersey.

Best of Luck everyone..👍.
 
20/1 winner just about got me out alive today! Seemed very different to the other days. Assume they pissed about with watering the track or something.

Good meeting all in all though. About the only flat one I sometimes enjoy.

I love the flat as much as the jumpers. It's been a really good meeting this week. No weather issues and consistent ground conditions. I was in front for the week before Saturday but those first 3 races today knocked me back. So, a little loss on the week but a thoroughly enjoyable 5 days racing.

This and Cheltenham are the only 2 meetings I'm punting in all races for the fun it gives.

I don't go anymore but I have been fortunate to spend numerous days at the Royal meeting, the last of which was a wonderful day in the Royal Enclosure. I thought after that, it couldn't ever be bettered so it's Ascot at home these days for me.

That Queen Alexandra finish was a fitting end to a great week.
 
What a meeting, the racing was fantastic!! The only bad thing about this week was my lack of winners. However just to make me feel totally inadequate I was blessed with the very last winner at a paltry 7/4. Im only glad that I never started chasing my Stakes as I would be a bigger mug punter than I have been this week. Couldn't get the draw correct, the jockeys correct got to be my worst Ascot ever. Alas I won't give up, I will try harder, nearly all my school report cards said so. Always tomorrow!!!
