^Agreed. Of course I’m biased having bet Golden Pal (not my best work) and Lord North (probably wasn’t winning but could’ve been second, no?) I also have potentially been impacted by the gate scratches but will say I kind of like how they make quick decisions however if that is the case what’s the excuse for wasting an hour trying to get a no chance horse in the stall during the Golden Pal race? I think it was a legitimately bad bet and the way the Aussie showed cruising speed/crushed but prior to the race I mentioned to my betting partner this is an insane advantage for the Aussie compared to Golden Pal…played out and again I don’t think it necessarily changed the result..but it seems a little arbitrary where sometimes decisions are made in a split second and then they do this. Love Royal Ascot though, just some observations
