Royal Ascot Week 2018.

[Togo]

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
Bataash @9/4 3.40
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.

[Togo]

Morning. If you look in before travelling Panky…….have a great day.

[Ken4155]

Have a great day out, Panky, whether you back any winners or not. I get daily emails from the RP and yesterday's Irish Angle tip was the 18/1 shot. The horse he goes for today, Panky, is Downdraft which, i see, you have already selected.
Drew a blank at Ascot yesterday - 7/2 winner for nothing - but i did have a fairly decent return on BTTS & Kofu to win in the Japanese J League 2. Have done the same bet with Denmark today which, hopefully, will offset my losses at Ascot. Negative? No. Realistic. I always have a terrible RA meeting. But you have to be in it to win it, right? :-) Good luck to both of you and anyone else having a punt.

[Togo]

Try again. See if I can't better my first day.

Shang Shang Shang @11/2 2.30
Main Street @16/1 3.05
Wild Illusion @3/1 3.40
Cross Counter @13/2 5.35

£1.00 E/W Acca. 4 X 30p Trebles. 6 X 30p Doubles. Total stake £5.00 possible £4k+

Put in Stradivarious @2/1 4.20 and Il Priom Sole @12/1 5.00. With the two added 50p E/W 6 timer and 15 X 25p E/W 5 timers. Taken the Shorter odds to get the extra places where offered. I can always cover if the punt goes pear shaped early. Good luck.

[Togo]

Don't know why I posted 15X e/w 5 timers.....it is 6.

[Ken4155]

Got back a bit late - again - so only had a little time to study. Hence selections in first 3 races.

£1 trixie, £1 treble returns £273 if all successful. Will study remaining races now while waiting for Denmark to get a winner:-/

Good start for you, Togo - by a nostril hair, i think:-)

[Togo]

Mighty Stradivarious, and Dettori sublime once again. Yep I started well Ken although I felt a bit guilty pipping Panky's 20/1er. Being trackside and all. Hope he had some e/w on it. I covered my last 3 with a little e/w treble.

[Ken4155]

Another blank - and a winner for nothing again :-( Seriously considering putting a full shift in tomorrow and ignoring the meeting. Then again, tomorrow is another day and if the sun is shining when i rise, i may well change my mind :-)

[Togo]

Not bad this end Ken had a 25p place 5 timer and a £1.00 place treble up. Together paying me Just short of £40.00. So bleedyn close to the full house placed. Main Street let me down. 2 winners in the mix as well. Playing with their money still.

[Togo]

Just worked out that Main Street finishing out of the frame cost me about £130.00. Sugar...….or words to that effect.

[Togo]

Had a quick glance at tomorrows runners and riders and can only think that I will be looking for each way value again. Pin stickers guide to the galaxy would be helpful. Hope that Panky had a good day and is fit and well in the morning. I said earlier that I was let down by one for a place 6 timer...……..It is worse, it also let me down for another 5 x place 5 timers. Doh. Audrey Just Laughed and Laughed.

[Ken4155]

Oh look! The sun is shining :-) Just a half shift for me, then. Back later with my selections/horses to avoid*

*Delete where applicable.

[PankySmooch]

Morning all, gutted after that first race and no each ways on it unfortunately but well done finding the winner Togo, my bets today are....
2.30 Fairyland
3.05 Giuseppe Garibaldi
3.40 Invincible Army
4.20 Adorable
5.00 Dathanna
5.35 Count Calabash

Good luck all

[Togo]

Morning. Time to have another go. Hope you had a good day regardless Panky. Going to stick with the yank Wes Ward in the first. They love their speed balls in the States and this may be another. Picked a runner in all 6 races and will try to repeat yesterdays success with perhaps a bit more of the same. I have taken the enhanced places at slightly lower odds. Again depending on how the first two get on I can cover the last 4 if necessary. Good luck to all who have a go.

[Togo]

Well I am firing blanks today. Covered the last 3 with a little e/w Treble and the Doubles.

[Togo]

Ahh well said the soul. Ahh soul said the well. Get em tomorrow. They have had some of their filthy lucre back. I think that was as bad as I've ever been. Haha.

[Ken4155]

3 winners for me at Ascot is a minor miracle. Decent little double and 3 win singles leaves me well in pocket - for a change :-)

[Togo]

Did notice Ken, thought you may have them patented up. Although the racing is great entertainment...…..it is better still with a bit of a return. Well done.
