Royal Ascot 16-20 June
 

“Ascot Racecourse was founded in 1711 by Queen Anne. The centre-piece of Ascot’s year, Royal Ascot is one of the world’s most famous race meetings, and dates back to 1711. The Queen attends the meeting, arriving each day in a horse-drawn carriage. It is a major event in the British social calendar, and press coverage of the attendees and what they are wearing often exceeds coverage of the actual racing.

There are 16 Group races on offer, with at least one Group One event on each of the five days.”

Just woke up, Jake. Finished about square. Huzzah would've been good if he'd won. Still getting used to the pricing provided by IASBET. They give two sets of prices but they seem very close and a bit skinny in my opinion, not like the tote and fized prices here which can be hugely different. Anyway it's nice to wake up not having lost. Racing has a different look about it over there. I don't know if it's the relative absence of turns at Royal Ascot but the horses seem to be flying from barrier to box (sorry about the cliche but it's only about 5.45).

..yeah..tracks look nice & roomy Percentum..the racing focus to the 'outside' fence..like the idea..as an oncourse spectator..close up to the action..

Hey Jake, I noticed you had Fareer and no 25 (whatever it was) in the big field. Did you get on Fareer? I had him rated 2nd. I still think they pay unders. $21 was the payout on IASBET. I'm too lazy to do the percentages but I think they're well over 100%, probably closer to 200% in these big fields. Seems to be a lack of imaginative exotics on these races too. Anyway, here's my lot for some of the bigger fields tonight:
R1 8 14 19 12
R4 12, 10, 15, 13
R5 15, 1, 4, 13
R6 17, 4, 5, 18
Probably silly to have a bet in race 1 but I probably will anyhow. I guess that's why I'm among the mob in the cloth caps and cardigans watching the celebrities turn up in their top hats and furs (respectively according to gender).
