The King and Queen’s carriage was first through the Golden Gates at the straight mile start and was never headed….
Huge thanks to those of you who helped me lump on thousands with Black Market and Asian bookmakers. Easy game…?1
Easy game….??!! Ten Bob Tony winning the Queen Anne at 50/1…
I had the King and Queen in a double with second placed More Thunder. Hey ho…?!
Great Barrier Reef might have helped out a few Antipodean punters despite his Irish roots, but they left their dosh behind when the apparently invincible Overpass finished a beaten if honourable third. I guess they might boomerang him back for the Golden Jubilee on Saturday…
Bow Echo. By the barest of margins. And overcoming more jostling and “bumping and boring” than you get in the penalty area at the World Cup or around the scrum in the 6 Nations. “Team tactics” meeting with the Steward’s disapproval…
And after that it became unfathomable…
As ever, fabulous to catch up with many friends, and even those Weather Gods took a day off from raining on parades and processions…
Day 2 stabs in the dark – with a lot of help from Barney Baker. If this goes well, all down to me. If not, I will forward BB’s number for general hard time giving….
1st – Senorita Bonita, Ruiva each way – look for bookies that pay more than 3 places in this 27 runner field…
2nd – Port Of Spain each way…
3rd – Impossible – and that’s not a horse’s name. Tiny ew Snellen / Cathedral
4th – Daryz – some race !!
5th – The Royal Hunt Cup. Did I ever tell you about the time that Belgian Bill and James Doyle…?? Impossible. Checkandchallenge tiny ew, same for Mister Winston and Ebt’s Guard.
6th and 7th – avert your gaze, and gear up for “England expects”. Alobayyah fancied in the 6th but favourite in a 25 runner field. The lucky last sees 25 2-yr-olds over five furlongs – pin job, or stick with Aidan and Sergei Diaghilev who could be the class….
Royal Ascot, England’s World Cup kicks off, a Stokes free England at The Oval, US Open golf tomorrow….
An awful lot of sport Bloody Hell…..!!
