Royal Ascot Week 2018.
59 Answers
Well after last nights excitement a bit of relaxing racing. I am posting early as I need to be out handy for a dental appointment and an errand or two to run. Should be back in before the off if all goes to plan. Nothing too ambitious today, but I can hope nevertheless. Sticking with the big boys on the first day.
Calyx @ 5/2 3.05

Without Parole @11/4 4.20
Dannyday @10/1 5.00
£2.00 Win Acca. 4 X 0.75p Trebles. £5.00 Total Stake. If I get back in time I will consider covering my bets if the first runner bombs. Good luck to all who have a go.

Afternoon guys. Terribly difficult not to go with my first selection as he's playing in defence for Japan at the moment! :-/ Hardly any confidence at all behind these selections - far too much hype surrounds this meeting, imho, and it sometimes puts me off backing against so-called 'talking' horses. I could have taken bigger prices on all 4 but 365 will pay on 4 places with the slightly reduced odds;
2.30 Asc; Yoshida @ 12/1
3.05 Asc; Cosmic Law @ 10/1
5.00 Asc; Dannyday @ 10/1
5.35 Asc; Sharja Bridge @ 6/1
20p lucky 15, £1 e.w. acca. 4 placed = approx £22 whereas 4 winners = £14,359 :-)
Also done Lady Aurelia, Without Parole and Yensir (4.45 Str) in a trixie/treble which could realise just under £300 and all 6 Ascot horses in the placepot.
Best of luck, guys.

Just had a cursory look at the Ascot card, Togo, and he has chances of getting at least another 2 today - and maybe even more. Obviously Cracksman is his main ride but no-one's gonna get rich backing that one. He has a live chance in the opener and some interesting rides later on horses stepping up in class slightly. Worth a much deeper look when i get back in about midday. Good luck with your selections, Panky.
Morning Ken & Panky. I have already noted that Ken. I had a look through the card last night and am just waiting for my newspaper before placing the punt. I am thinking of giving the one trained by the American a swerve and obviously Cracksman is a bit to hot for my sort of flutter. I have another appointment with the dentist this morning for a filling and polish up. When he is done I will have a grin like Red Rum.:)) Will post my picks before I leave for the dentist. Good luck to you both. Hoping to clean up today just like the Japanese and Senegalese football supporters.
Sorted. Will be back in before the off.

Currently studying the 5.00 Ascot - got back a tad late. However, i do believe the omens are good for a Frankie win in the opener with Wesley Ward almost farming this race recently and with Cracksman looking the one to beat, i have done;
£5 double @ just over 6/1 - Chelsea Cloisters and Cracksman which could return £36.64.
Also, O'Brien has farmed a couple of today's races in recent times, so;
£5 double @ just under 12/1 - Kew Gardens 3.05 and Hydrangea 3.40. This one could return £64.69.
Right, back to the big field in the 5.00. Good luck all.

Lovely start for you, Panky. Well in, bud :-)
20p lucky 15, £1 e.w. acca;
4.35 Ham; Austin Powers @ 5/1 (Win single)
5.00 Asc; Medahim @ 18/1 (Each way single)
5.20 Utt; Copperface Jack @ 13/2 (Win single)
5.35 Asc; Purser @ 11/1 (Win single)
Once again, with the Ascot runners, i could have got slightly bigger prices, but by taking the lower prices i will be paid on 6 places in the 5.00 and 5 places in the last.
4 placed = £108, 4 winners = £13,462
