Royal Ascot.

[Togo]

Have had a look through today's runners and have made my choices. Doesn't seem 5 minutes since last year. I had a nice little double up at the weekend so it is free all week.
Murillo @ 7/1
Goldream @ 14/1
Rivet @ 22/1
Beyond Conceit @ 8/1

£1.00 E/W Acca. 25p E/W Lucky 15
Total stake £9.50.
May have a look at Nootka Sound in the last.

[Berniecuddles2]

just read frankie dettori not riding due to an arm injury was going to bet on him to be top jockey

[Togo]

Didn't know that Bernie. He was due to ride Nootka Sound in the last for me, so I will keep an eye on that for now.

Not very original, i know, but i do believe that the favs will take the 2.30 and 4.20, so i've done them in a decent double @ just over 2/1 (part paid for by free bet) with Sky. I have done various bets with my 4 fancies in the other races (wins, e.w., forecasts), but have also lumped them all together in a little 20p lucky 15, 50p e.w. acca;

3.05; De Bruyne House @ 6/1 (Rev f/c with Brother Bear)
3.40; Marsha @ 7/2 (Rev f/c with Profitable)
5.00; Rainbow Dreamer @ 16/1 (Rev f/c with Who Dares Wins)
5.35; Elizabeth Darcy @ 10/1 (Another Batt)

4 winners will net me just short of £4,890 - which would see me through the remainder of the festival :-))) - and £41 for all 4 placed. And, of course, i've done all 6 selections in a Placepot.

Best of luck, everyone.

[Ken4155]

Managed to get the f/c in the first race but, other than that, all i had to show from a couple of hours of study was a 3rd place in the 5.00, the returns from which helped soften the blow of a bad opening day. There's always tomorrow:-/

[Togo]

Yes Ken a blank for me too. But a superb days racing anyway.
Tomorrow is another day.

[Togo]

Have another go today.Can't be worse than yesterday can I? All prices taken come with B.O.G.

4.20; Jack Hobbs @ 3/1

I fancied Barney Roy to reverse the form with Churchill yesterday and after listening to Richard Hannon‏ just before the race I was very confident.

[Togo]

Lol Talbot, only You could manage to get Daffy Duck into horse racing.

[-Talbot-]

Gone for 'Dream Castle' cover bet in the first.

[Ken4155]

Once again another great day's racing. Unfortunately, once again just the one placed horse to soften the blow. Gonna knock them bookies bow-legged tomorrow or my names not Loosey McLooseface.

[Togo]

Yeh Ken no payday for me either. Still as you said brilliant racing and a great occasion. I'm in a bit of a quandary about tomorrow. I am reporting to Hospital at 7.30am for a gall bladder op. So I need to decide whether pick my nags and get on now, or try to do it before we set off. Will keep you posted when I come round (God willing) if my lappie allows. Only in for one night anyway. Keep posting your selections for the meeting here anyway As Arnie said "I'll be back." I will post my picks here, whether tonight or early tomorrow, anyway.

[DTCwordfan]

Loved Skinner's remark on Black Rod entering the House of Commons and demanding their presence in front of Her Maj....
