Royal Ascot 19th to 23rd of June

Willie Mullins has got half of his yard in the next at Ascot.
Michael Barzelona looks a very interesting jockey booking on Meri Devie.

I hope that you had a bet on Without Parole Dave

gone with two bets, Coeur de Lion and White Desert and played them in my exacta

I certainly did Chicken thanks

St James Palace : I make WITHOUT PAROLE the best bet of the meeting, however trainer Roger Teal might disagree and is positive of a big run from Tip to Win . I punted WP for the 2000Gns at 40/1 and was disappointing when it was scratched as an 8/1 shot, due to a hoof problem.
Admittedly it’s last win was slightly workman like rather than spectacular, but I feel the horse is getting better with each race and Frankie can assure maximum assistance from the saddle.

John Gunther bred Justify and Without Parole and on interview he said that he was more excited about having an Ascot winner then the Triple Crown with Justify, wow thats some compliment for the royal meeting.

.....must be bitter sweet to breed a triple crown winner but not own a hair of it..... :huh:

Good start

At face value this card has Coolmore written all over it.
There are 30 reasons why it will be nigh possible to pick the winner of the 5th and on all known form you cannot oppose Cracksman in the 4th.
Emraaty cost 2.6 mill so he needs to get his engine going in the last.
Won't be laying out much today but my eye keeps going to Kew Gardens in the Queen's Vase.

Ryan Moore owes his followers plenty from yesterdays races.He seems to be on the 'wrong ones' of O'Brien lately.The okes in the UK are so quick to slate the poor guy whenever he gets beat yet he is probably their best jockey.The Betfair forum have even opened 'The Ryan Moore crap ride Ascot thread'.

On the right one this time.The next he must have a big chance.

Must say a bit broken ........thought evens was a gift

Sorry
