TopClass, I was very taken with THUNDER SNOW's debut too and will be having a little dabble. You also can't ignore Wesley Ward's 2yos so will be having a punt on SILVERTONI (3.05) and BIG CITY DREAMIN (5.35)
i'm setting up a wine merchant at the moment so my time is spent on that at the moment however, as it's Ascot i'm having a small each way tribe on Ervedya, Profitable and Big City Dreaming.
Fun little tricast on Psychedelic Funk/Caravaggio/Lundy Lundy is massively overpriced at 50/1...Psychedelic Funk is the most likely winner. Looks a cracking prospect of a race.
Just one bet for me today, in the first at Royal Ascot (2:30). The French mare Esoterique will like the straight course, the ground conditions and distance, so will take a chance on her, at SP I think.
Bit of excitement, nice build up on Racing UK. Everyone else in the office is concentrating on the footy so as nobody is too bothered that people are tuning in to that, I'm watching Ascot ...
I'm no expert but I've done a Placepot today and should all the market leaders place then the Placepot wouldn't pay very much at all (probably £20-£30 if that lucky). However I've just done the same selections to all place and I'm getting 41/1. Therefore I think this will pay much more. My selections are: EVERDYA, CARRAVAGGIO, MECCAS ANGEL, THE GURKHA, JENNIES JEWEL, TOMILY.
Not betting at the moment but would love to see the American filly win this to reward their ambition. If I were punting my money would be on Belardo.
Clearly punctuality is not written with a capital "P" at Ascot ...................... first race will be 7 or 8 minutes late off
Great win by the American mare, she's real class. My Esoterique is without doubt ready for the paddocks, oh dear!
