Well done E&E.

Punting, watching football and horse racing is proving a challenge - but a nice problem to have. 

Calyx was top pick but at least it puts us on the board.  

Was it my imagination or was Sergi in second place 50m from the line ?

Well done djebel.  Back to back winners and stood Blue Point out.  Good effort by the 20/1 Mab's Cross.  Someone smarter than me could have made a nice tri out of the collective selections.

In fact, the table of selections above (top picks only) contains the trifecta for both the second and third races (Calyx, Advertise & Sergei from 4 first placed selections and Blue Point Battaash and Mab's Cross from 4 first place selections)  They paid $146 and $332.

Well done - you had 2/3's of it already.

The Ascot Stakes was a blow out.   Chelkar did OK given that he didn't settle.  It will be interesting to see where OTI take him.

Ebor and Melbourne Cup are the goals. Tweeter.

Thanks but I can’t take any credit it was really pure guesswork. Didn’t even look at any form just saw that a few had tipped it. And I believe Djebel was the first to label it top shelf so that confirmed it for me.

Kingman had his first winner tonight with the very impressive Calyx scoring at Newmarket. Mum ran second to Moonlight Cloud in a multiple black type winning short career.
Could be one to watch out for at Ascot. John Gosden trains it.
That was the first post regarding Calyx on the forum. From European Racing thread.

I didn’t say the first post, I said the first to label the horse top shelf. As far as I know he was in a thread titled “The Next Great European Miler - Calyx”.

" the very impressive Calyx "

Oh I didn't use the words "very top shelf". Apologies neither did D. He called it next great miler. It hasn't run at a mile yet.

Wow! You really are desperate for some recognition aren’t you? You do realise this is an Internet forum inhabited by a bunch of total strangers don’t you? If receiving kudos from a name on a computer screen helps inject some positive feelings into your life then well done, give yourself a pat on the back on my behalf for spotting this one. You have a good eye.

Yesterday djebel, brudderA and MattBisogno managed to return a flat stakes profit.  Tonight there are some big fields and wide open markets like the Royal Hunt Cup which is currently 10/1 the field.  On the other hand Cracksman appears to have provoked a consensus.  One anomaly appears to be Saltonstall which seems well fancied by our tipsters but is currently 12/1.  The flowery theme that saw Calyx salute yesterdqy could continue tonight with the well fancied Hydrangea in the Duke of Cambridge and Kew Gardens in the Queen's Vase.  The early birds are posted below.  I will update the table before the first.  Everyone is welcome to join in.

Oops.  Wrong thread.  Confused

I am not surprised at my blue though.  Trying to juggle the races, the World Cup football, and those imposters playing England at cricket is becoming quite a chore.

Sure you were.
It’s ok little guy, you should just own your mentality. The praise of strangers is important to you. All good. We’re used to it by now anyway.

Truth was you never mentioned the horse as being top shelf. Thanks for letting us know it was impressive in its first start, many are. You mentioned nothing of it being top class though. Djebel was the first to post that.
