DOnt forget Legatissimo being done on the line by the Obrien 50/1 outsider! When looking invincible - Rhodedendrum looks to be the likely winner but also looks more vulnerable than Legatissimo at current odds I would be looking for the ew play but I am also sitting on a ticket at 5/2 so am happy either way!
Two savers on an odds on selection? Now I've heard everything.
Never heard of that before Nass? £1100 on a 10/11 returns £2100. £200 on 7/1 returns £1600 and £100 on a 14/1 returns £1500. Total stake £1400
If the one I expect to win wins it's £700 Profit. If either of the other 2 win I've covered my stake. So I'm getting 1/2 on the fav with some cover. Based on form, ratings and improvement expected over 12f one could argue the filly should be 1/2 any way. I don't understand why you are so critical of others' betting strategies. Unless I've miscalculated of course, which is possible

Battered cod and chipped potatoes. 10/10. If I was being cynical I’d say they were trying to buy my vote! But are we at the coalface this easily manipulated, procured, brought into line and won over?!? I think we all know the answer to that one don’t we regular readers.
Meanwhile, anyone going to Royal Ascot??? Yanking your topper off at the sight of a minor Royal and all that. I’ve usually acquired my tickets by now but surely no-one will purchase any until old boy Jerry has been defeated on Thursday! You could lose a wodge of loot if you do and the wrong 'un wins on Friday morn. At the very least he’ll rename the meet ‘Ascot’! Cor blimey who knows what could potentially happen…

Thank Christ there were no carrots with the cod and chips 
Salad 10/10 (because I pulled it together myself form the extensive salad bar in our canteen). Washed down with orange juice. All very healthy

Sir Barney - I shall be at ROYAL Ascot for Gold Cup day come hell high water or a CORBYN victory !!
The nation chooses next week
And I will be voting early before a dart to Bangor on dee for a day on the pop with the lads (not those Ballydoyle ones) and a few winners hopefully - let democracy prevail
!!! Ps ballydoyle runners now expected by 14:05
But will you be bowing and saluting to King Jeremy and Queen Diane IV (or it might be the 5th as adding up ain’t her strong point)???
Friday has been my day these past few years. At this stage that day looks like a Mr O’Brien domination though as he’s the odds-on faves in the 2 big races (Winter and Caravaggio). Biggest change on the Friday is that the ‘Queens Vase’ has been reduced in distance from 2 miles to 14 Furlongs – can’t say I’m in favour of that. I most deffo won’t be buying any tickets though until everything is clearer next week.

Boom!
Well that's the 1,2,3 in that then (and I did have a little bet on the Ryan Moore treble mentioned in my earlier post - just need Rhodedendrom to bloom now!)

I am suitably amazed by the fashions, and it is amazing also how Highland Reel has won so readily after only just arriving from Ireland. Horse racing continues to amaze, so let's see if the Oaks will continue today's amazement. God help us!
No, seriously, ITV, you guys are doing a damn good job, very much appreciated!

Well done Doalittle and to Woolcombe for a big priced place in that race- this forum is cleaning up this afternoon!

Simple point for me is if you are concerned about two beating an odds on shot, then why back in the race at all. 1/2 about a 10/11 shot. Not a strategy I'd be looking at.
