Wednesday 18th June - Royal Ascot Day 2
A decent enough day yesterday when we were perhaps a shade unlucky that French Master at 5/2 was the only winner. Frost At Dawn was widely available at 80/1 early and backed in to 28/1 possibly by the perceived early draw bias and ran a cracker to finish second beaten only by the Goldie horse that we had flagged up as a big danger. Nurburgring just failed to get up in the Ascot Stakes against a worthy winner but considering he came from Stall 20, I'd see it as a place gained rather than a win lost on this occasion.
A few disappointing fields in the "big Stakes races" today, so we'll focus on 2 Handicaps at 5.00 The Royal Hunt Cup and 5.35 The Kensington Palace Stakes which is a Handicap, and a couple of big field Stakes races at 2.30 and 6.10, which have enhanced places with 25 and 23 runners respectively, the Placepot perm follows and then a few TRACKERS running today including a Royal Ascot tip.
