RQ is correct, we have never played a track outside of North America. There are just too many logistical difficulties, not to mention the challenge of obtaining pp's and other data on the runners, plus the problems that time zone differences would pose. If you want to watch Royal Ascot on Saturday, you need to be up early to check the scratches.

Trying to find winning exactas or tris in those races can be a real challenge. The 16:35 (Balmoral Handicap) currently has 23 entrants, and the bookies are offering 15/2 odds on each of the co-favorites. I think that two of the races are a "win and you're in" for the Breeders Cup.

Keeneland has a nice card and is probably the best choice one could make. I say that a bit wistfully, for the Ascot races are wonderful to watch, but not so good to bet.
