Royal Ascot day 2

draw bias is ridiculous on the straight course

Fortunately they give 3 going readings so you know which draws to back

Makes it a bit easier

It's also self fulfilling as the jockeys know which side is best and the group on that side ends up being twice as big
 
Blood bath! Fair play to anyone getting any winners today!
 
I'd imagine it's because his 3 group 1 runs have seen him finish 12th, 20th and 4th

I'd say his rating is a tad generous and the others are currently more proven at the level

But he's regally bred being by frankel out of a dubawi mare and a half brother to 2 time group 1 winner nazeef

i backed him to win this race last year but he got thumped by bay bridge in his prep race and ended up in the hardwicke

So sods law he will win the race the year after I backed him haha

Currently having a massive strop that he's beaten luxembourg

The rest of them have walked home for some reason
 
Couple of mentions for that one to be fair

Yeah I see a couple on here mentioned it. Was massive price but think 1 or 2 big hitters put it up around 25s? Time I looked at it was around the 10s so I didn't bother!
 
Predicting Bless Him to finish 6th was about as close as I've got to a winner today :beguiled:

Cheers chaps.

Hope you've all had a good day :encouragement:

On to tomorrow we go :victorious:
 
Bookies taking the piss so far. Punters bloodbath.

Better luck you lot for the next few days. Hopefully the results will go your way.

Off to Venice tomorrow to tick off one of my bucket lists.
