Strike The Tiger - Oh My Bleeding God. After a stride I thought he'd win. Johnny V timed it absolutely spot on.. was too busy drinking Pimms to place a sneaky fiver on him.

Anyway, I'll try to see if I can the scores from day 1 up this evening..

Default Day two of Roal Ascot

Jolly good show Count!

Here's Wednesday.

I will list only one alternate. If my top pick should scratch please move my second selection to the first spot and my alternate will then become the second selection. Should my second selection scratch then move my alternate to the second spot. Should two of my horses scratch tough luck for me; I’ll be left with only one horse as top pick.

Race 1 - gallagher, loch linne…… alternate: infiraad

Race 2 - heaven sent, lush lashes……….alternate: spacious

Race 3 - tartan bearer, twice over………..alternate: tazeez

Race 4 - NAP cadre, philario…………..alternate: lovelace

Race 5 - capercaillie, crown……..alternate: misheer

Race 6 - photographic, wajaha………alternate: golden stream

Results after Day 1

First of all, there were some brilliant winners and even one exacta scored (Bigs in the Kings Stand). Just remember that there is still 4 more days to go and it could just be that Bigs is cheap speed!! At least Viscount is an ex pat, he is allowed to win.

just a word on the scoring, Ive basically taken it to be 75 for each race with the Nap being a bonus if you score but not counted as a minus if it loses.


Position / Username / Score Today / Total Score
1. Bigs +1283.67 +1283.67
2. Viscount +1142.67 +1142.67
3. No Chance +163.75 +163.75
4. Irish +23.33 +23.33
5. Stickhorse -266.67 -266.67
6. ARyan -301.67 -301.67

Again, if anyone wants to join in, by all means do.. sure what else would ya want to be doing during the week other than watching top class horsies run in front of the Queen.

I hope you didn't forget my exacta yesterday, brock. They are reversed, right? I need all of the points I can get to catch the first two, but had a good day today.

Cheers fella. I take this very seriously (maybe a little too seriously) especially when there is a yank sitting on top of the tree

Results after Day 2

Firstly, I have fixed No Chances score from Day 1. It should now read as +240.75 rather than +163.75. Some more good performances today from the pacesetters, it should set up to be a brilliant last few days. And remember, a big exacta can shoot you to the moon so there are no lost causes..


Position / Name / Score Today / Total Score
1. Bigs +490 +1773.67
2. Viscount +337.5 +1479.58
3. No Chance +474.5 +715.25
4. Irish -62.5 -39.17
5. ARyan 0 -301.67
6. Stickhorse -450 -716.67

I am tempted to trash talk, but I am severely outnumbered as a Yank on the leaderboard. My new avatar speaks for itself.
