ThreeBears Clap  Beer

By my count you have 6/17 this week including Ostilio (16/1 in a 30 horse field) and Settle for Bay at a similar price in the 30+ starters Royal Hunt Cup.  Fantastic tipping. Beer

Cheers Tonto. My late nights, waking up after a nanna nap, watching the races in England and France are paying off. I find it so much more diverse and interesting than the local events these days.

Ostilio was one I liked a lot after Without Parole won the Gr1 race earlier in the meeting. Looked to be at least 10lbs well in on the handicap and improving.
Nice ride from De Sousa too angling him over to the fast line.

Quite a small field there compared to previous runnings that I recall D. Do you think the O'Brien second stringers will take on/set the speed for MN?

5 to lead 4 + 11 to  front the chasing pack for mine. Low draw not so bad for RW given the small field. Higher draws have dominated the bigger fields this week so far.

Certainly going to be an interesting tactical battle.

They probably do try and set a tempo but I doubt it will worry the good ones.

I expect the big 3 to come away and fight it out no matter what tactics are used.

Just waiting on Vixen to fill in the blanks....

ROYAL ASCOT - DAY 4 

Three Bears has basically shown us how it is done with those two big handicap wins.  He snared two winners last night and best of the rest only managed one.  He has 6/18.  Next best is brudder_A with 3/18.
The best of the commercial tipsters has been Timeform with 3/18. It looks like only 3bears has a flat stakes profit after 18 races.  On SPs Brudder_A is breaking even...

I got 21 and 16 two winners alone. I'd better have a flat stakes profit.

Vixen's turn ... and Brudder_A finds his fourth winner for the week.

I was interested to hear them refer to the race as the Ascot derby.  This race was actually won by a horse that went to win a Melbourne Cup.  

His name was Backwood (you need to highlight it to see it) in 1924

Very, very good.  Top opposition and she put them out of the park. 

At Talaq went around in the Epsom Derby (4th) but his next run was in France over 3000m on 24 June 1984 - the Grand Prix de Paris perhaps.

Only four favourites have saluted in 24 races this week, and the last three came in succession at the end of Day 4.  That improved At The Races results to draw level with ThreeBears with 6 winners, while Timeform and me have drawn closer with 5 wins and Vixen has joined brudder_A with 4 winners for the week. 

By comparison the 'Early Fav' has produced 6 winners and 2 equal faves have also won.  It seems the money is not worth following at Ascot as the SP faves are only performing half as well. 

One day to go.
