Royal Ascot

[Spicerack]

Done one in the first race (Flaming Spear) and may do Dubawi Fifty in the last.
Probably the 2 worst races on the card. Lol.
Some good racing to watch today but not for betting in, imo.

[Togo]

Just about to post and spotted you here Spice. Pointless having tandem threads.....this is not "News", innit.
I have had a go on the ITV7 bearing in mind that they are putting up £50k today. Fancy Frankie to have a go today......he can make more noise than the crowds on his own if he gets on a run. Have done a little treble on Daarik, Terebellum, and Frankly Darling....All ridden by Detori and trained by Gosden. I have also noticed , if Ken looks in, that the Good Doctor has a runner in the marathon last race so that goes into my little punt as below.
Daarik @7/2 1.15 Asc.
Wasmya @6/1 4.10 Ascot
Mancini @14/1 4.40 Ascot.

£1.00 win Trixie & £1.00 e/w on Mancini.

ITV7 Terebellum, Frankly Darling, The Big House, Mogul, Battaash, Wasmya, Mancini. Good luck if you have a go. I seem to remember doing rather well last year at this meeting.

Nipping out now for a stroll on the beach. Be back later. Gorgeous up here.

[Ken4155]

Got caught up in something else which means I've only just begun looking in earnest. So, no ITV7 and just the one selection, thus far;

£1.50 e.w. on Cliffs Of Capri @ 20s in the first (5 places).

Back when I've had a proper look. Best of luck to you both.

[Spicerack]

I'll stick this in here in case you don't see it.

Just added my reply to that, Spice:-)

£9 back for the first race 4th place which pays for the following Rev forecasts;

1.50; Cirrus Maximus @ 9/2 (Rev f/c with Terebellum)
2.25; Miss Yoda @ 6/1 (Rev f/c with Ennistymon)
4.10; Magic Lilly @ 11/1 (Rev f/c with Queen Power)
4.40; Blue Laureate @ 11/1 (Rev f/c with Moon King)

4 x £2 wins, 20p Lucky 15, £1 e.w. acca. 4 placed = £50, 4 winners = £7,351.

Once again, best of luck.

[Ken4155]

Something definitely not right. I get the better in a photo finish (almost unheard of) and, what's more, a winner at Royal Ascot! Not to mention the forecast, too:-)
Just had to put a couple of quid on Aiden's Reward @ 5s in the 3.15 at Thirsk.

[Spicerack]

I couldn't pick between them, so just watched it, Never thought of the F/C. ;-(

[Ken4155]

Must admit, Spice, it was almost the toss of a coin as to why I came down on the side of O'Brien's horse. Always thought it would be between the two, though.

[weecalf]

Papa power can do the hook in this 3.00

[weecalf]

Last brilliant

[Ken4155]

Just short of £20 profit on the day. Not much but beggar's can't be choosers, and all that:-))

[Spicerack]

Aiden's was just pipped in a photo.
I've bought that Coeur De Lion over the years, Oh well, can't do any worse tomorrow. (I think)

[Togo]

Hopeless this end. Glad I went out and enjoyed the sunshine and sea breeze. A couple in the tv picks but nothing back for that. Ah well said the soul. Ahh soul said the well. Try again tomorrow. Just had a busy half hour making sure that everything that needs it is secure and tied up in the garden. Big storm forecast for us in the next 12 hours. It is very warm and "close" at the moment so a beer out back is called for. Nice forecast for you though earlier Ken I see.

[Ken4155]

Getting quite 'close' here too, Togo. Wouldn't mind betting we're in for some rumbles of thunder at the very least. Maybe even a good old fashioned storm to 'freshen' things up.

Just picked 4 for tonight - L15 and e.w. acca (£5 staked) - as I may decide to watch them in action. Nothing much else worth watching.

Watched Aiden's get beat, Spice. As I intimated earlier, I don't win that many photo-finishes:-(

[Togo]

Thought it best to stick with the thread seeing as it is one of the "festival" meetings. That bally storm just about rattled past us but there is another on its way. Power cuts in Conwy Town this morning after a lightning strike up country. Gonna nip out and have a quick stroll on the prom. and get back for the later racing.
Done the ITV7.... £100k today, and a super Yankee.*
Maydanny* 9/2 1.15
Kipps * @4/1 2.25
Lord Tennyson* @11/2 3.35
Tactical* @5/1 4.10
Ranch Hand* @4/1
25p Super Yank.

ITV7 The bottom 4 with First Receiver 1.50, Idoapologise 2.35Bev, & Japan 3.00 Good Luck if yo have a go.

[Spicerack]

Good luck. Gave you the BA so you wouldn't go all week without winning something, Togo. (might have opened the floodgates, :-))

Don't fancy anything so put a L15 on the first few Favs for something to watch.
How do you select (if you can) unnamed Favs online?

[Ken4155]

Afternoon, and good luck, Togo. Managed 2 winners last night (13/2 and 3/1) and would be pleased if I could repeat that feat from the 4 in my L15, today.

1.15; Maydanny @ 9/2 (Rev f/c with Ouzo)
2.25; Arthurian Fable @ 10/1 (Rev f/c with Win O'clock)
3.35; Bell Rock @ 7/1 (Rev f/c with Qaysar)
4.40; Collide @ 13/2 (Rev f/c with Fujaira Prince)

4 x £2 wins, 20p Lucky 15, £1 e.w. acca. 4 placed = £53, 4 winners = £4,876.

£2.15 win on Juan Elcano @ 7/2 in the 1.50 Asc
£2.34 win on Headman @ 9/1 in the 3.00 Asc
£1.50 rev f/c Chief Little Hawk and Sunshine City in the 4.10 Asc

ITV 7 (£1 e.w. acca); Juan Elcano, Arthurian Fable, Bavardages, Headman, Bell Lock, Chief Little Hawk and Collide.

And, as I type this, I can see that Spice is adding to the tread, so i'll wish both of you the best of luck :-)

[Ken4155]

If you are on 365, Spice, at the foot of each race are 2 sections; first is for the fav, 2nd is for the 2nd fav. Obviously you can only elect SP. Don't know about other 'firms'.

[Ken4155]

Just had a look at Sky, too, and they also have 2 sections at the foot of each race. I assume, therefore, that it is the norm.

[Spicerack]

I've just opened this Account with Hills. I thought there'd be something like that but I couldn't find it. I'll check again. I just 'clicked on' whatever was Fav early odds.
