Mick Mac Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 It starts tomorrow.All betting news, tips (on what hats are in and which are not) - log them here. I'm going on Friday, so I'd ideally like to build up a little pot before then, so all tips for Tues to Thurs also gratefully received. Quids - can Yeats do it again?

lard Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hello regulars2.30 Gladiatorus could be great. 5/2 seems good price for horse that has the best form by far of those in race. Small E/w Mac Love purely because I won on it at Epsom last time, and they've stumped up the money to enter it.3.45 Soul City 35/1 Has nothing to find on 2yo form. Excuse last race last year and first this as tired and needing the run/unsuitable going (heavy) and 35s on bf seems a great price. 800k in prize money so far is almost double the odds on fav.Good luck.

Mick Mac Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 My tip is pace yourself, if you want to look even 1/3 as good on leaving as you look on arrival. Its fantastic watching girls arrive at Ascot and hilarious watching them leave.

???? Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Buggie - one of the joys of racing is that each course, day, race is different so you can't really say 'done the races'. Although in Ladies Day at Ascot you've picked one of the most hectic!!!! Biggest tip - if you're going by train stay behind after the races, dance with the band at the banstand, always excellent fun when you've had a few and kind of helps with the crowds a bit ( and make sure you visit the ladies before you leave the course before the long walk up to teh station and the inevitable wait for a train....if you like it then try Fakneham on an easter Monday next for a totally different experience!

Mick Mac Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 THE opening day of Royal Ascot left one major bookmaker surveying a scene of "carnage" after heavily backed favourites Scenic Blast, Mastercraftsman and Canford Cliffs proved the major culprits on a day of expensive woe for the layers.While Strike The Tiger offered bookmakers some relief by taking the finale at 33-1, the afternoon's two other winners, Paco Boy and Judgethemoment, were also popular with punters.Victor Chandler spokesman Neal Wilkins said: "Mastercraftsman, Canford Cliffs and Judgethemoment were truly awful results. Canford and Judgethemoment were massive losers in the book, and it was hard to take. It's been carnage here. They are going out of the trading room on stretchers." :-$ Bookies embarrassed at Ascot. [favourites for the rest of the week will no doubt be shortened further] Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6660-ascot/#findComment-213852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadwolf Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Plenty of really fit women to stare at as well. Has anyone else noticed that the well known female presenter looks like one of the Viz's fat slags.
