Bets 19/06/2026 - Royal Ascot Day 4

Those GoingStick readings did not reflect reality. Annoying. Thought Mountain Cat looked a tad unlucky not to place, if not maybe more, but in the end only 3 places yesterday (28/1, 10/1, 11/1) so ended up -6, which brings Ascot to +45 after Day 3.

2.30 Albany - Winning last time out is important.  Will assume high stalls matter, and if Light of Dawn had not run only 10 days ago I'd likely pick this. Next on the draw with a win is Bated Benevolence.

Bated Benevolence 33/1ew

3.05 Commonwealth - Strong course form and worth playing at the prices

Coppull 12/1ew

3.40 DOE - Hopewell Rock brings the best form to the table, but Warrant Hold looks highly progressive and main danger

Hopewell Rock 9/2ew

4.20 Coronation - Precise should win but one for an acca

5.00 Sandringham - Quiet Mutiny as per earlier, formline with Precise. Glyfada looks quick

Quiet Mutiny 14/1ew

Glyfada 11/2ew

5.35 - No bet

6.10 Sandringham - Tricky. Want Bacio to ping an make all and Starmade to get the perfect tow 

Starmade 16/1ew

Bets 18/06/2025 - Royal Ascot Day 3

Couple of decent places, couple decent wins, a decent 38/1 treble and a decent hangover.

According to the GoingStick there is pretty much no draw bias today. Wanted to narrow down the races to one pick, but not got time today. Gone for a a fair few double digit ews. Go easy :)

2.30 Chesham - No need to take on the fave here.

Aix La Chapelle 11/4

3.05 King George - Dial Me In looks potentially well handicapped and worth chancing at the prices.

Dial Me In 25/1ew

3.40 Ribblesdale - Brilliant Star could make all and can't really ignore the fact AOB won this race last three years and only has one dart for today

Brilliant Star 28/1ew

Composing 9/1ew

4.15 Gold Cup - Scandinavia should win this assuming stays, but at the prices chancing Sweet William and las years Vase winner Carmers

Sweet William 11/1ew

Carmers 22/1ew

4.50 Brittania - Not had enough time to deep dive the race, but Tales of Wisdom look well handicapped on collateral form, as does Flushing Meadows. Noelan Star interesting.

Tales of Wisdom 16/1ew

Flushing Meadows 20/1ew

Nolean Star 40/1ew

5.35 Hampton Court - Mountain Cat 10/1ew

6.10 Buckingham Palace - Doesn't appear to be much pace drawn low, which is sad as fancied couple drawn there. Elarak can set the pace and make jut make all and Cosi Bello should get a good tow from it.

Elarak 10/1ew

Cos Bello 8/1ew

Bets 17/06/2026 - Royal Ascot Day 2

+8 for Day 1, but a very close 25/1 2nd could have made the week. 18/1 3rd made it to worse as had the forecast :)

Only putting something up in every race as will be track side. Don't up your stakes. Don't forecast/tricast every race. Don't have more accas than singles, etc, etc. Bet smart.

GoingStick: Stands side: 8.9, Centre: 8.7, Farside: 8.5. Round: 7.6. Soil Moisture: 40% readings taken on Wednesday at 8.30am. = High Numbers as long as is pace on sprints

2.30 Queen Mary - I just picked a couple of the fastest horse on paper, Fast Track is the value bet at 40s. Price makes no sense given form with Senorita

More Champagne 11/1ew

Alta Regina 17/2ew

3.05 Queens Vase - Don't like the race. Port of Spain bring LGC form, Limestone looks decent but will he handle the fast going?

Limestone 7/2

3.40 Duke of Cambridge - Sadly the fav is top on numbers all round,  no big ew plays. Friendly Soul who is second in the betting second on numbers too!

Bolt Blue 3/1

4.20 Prince of Wales - Love watching these races, but betting not so much. 

Almaqam 7/1ew speccy play given current form

 I play a Limestone, Bolt Blue, Ombudsman 38/1 treble

5.00 Royal Hunt Cup - Went through usual checks and ended up with the top3 in the market, which is not great. Indalo Fifth Column and Jagged Edge  Linwood was next but weight carrying doesn't fit trends. I can't see any pace from stall 18+ which might help negate the high stall draw bias.

Jagged Edge 12/1ew

Fifth Column 9/1ew

5.35 - Not seen a handicap like this before where 15 horses are so tight on numbers. On a shortlist on 7, but really it's 15. Crazy. American Gal, Rhapsody, Gaga Girl and Perfect Part are the 4 that I can't decide between if really apply pressure on numbers. 

Rhapsody 18/1ew

Perfect Part 28/1ew

6.10 Windsor - No clue. Controlla looks to be fatsest, Control meets some trends I like

Controlla 4/1ew

Rulers Control 16/1ew

Bets 16/06/2026 - Royal Ascot Day 1

Not the best of days for me for betting purposes with only two long distance handicaps which are not a fun as 1m and below handicaps.

2.30 - Queen Anne - Notable Speech is best on numbers, but given poor runs at Ascot, at the price am okay to look elsewhere. That said I can pick holes in most of them and I chucked some coins on Ciceros Gift 50's who is a G1 C&D winner and First Conquest 50s who is arguably a better form over 1m, but I don't like anything enough at any price to put up a bet

No bet

3.05 Coventry Stakes - Great Barrier Reef is top on numbers for me and whilst still looking very green. Any of these can step up an improve significantly and that's the risk you take with 2year olds. Doesn't look like a huge drawn bias anywhere atm, and low numbers appear to have a lot of pace which will help GBR. 

Great Barrier Reef 7/1ew

3.40 King Charles - I have Jackaro 40/1 AP for this, but feel the ground is going to be too quick. I think the Temple Stakes form line is one to follow. Not 100% certain Overpass is as good over 5, but between him and Jackaro they'll set a good pace for the high numbers, so American Affair is the one I want to be on as looks better than last year coming into this. After back Night Raider a few times last year to no avail obviously come good this year and also looks very good. Frost at Dawn and Cover Up and big value ew prices, but not sure goo enough to win

American Affair 8/1ew

Night Raider 7/1ew

4.20 St. James - No value for me

No bet.

5.00 - Reaching High and Putyourhandtogether are rightly at the top of the market, but at the prices and at the risk of traffic not for me. I find it harder to solve this staying handicaps but two that are much bigger prices and also potentially well handicapped if they stay are Tim Toe and Defiantly Mega risky

Tim Toe 18/1ew

Defiantly 25/1ew

5.35 Wolferton - The form of thePrix du Prince d'Orange behind Daryz and Croix Du Nord is fire so playing Nahraan

Nahraan 6/1ew

Bets 13/06/2026

Lir, oh Lir. Running again on Saturday.....

Only looked at a few races as keeping fresh ready for Ascot.

York 3.35 - Fortification was a decent 40/1 winner for me lto, and I think has a decent chance again today back with 3year olds. The negative on the trends is not won over 6f but I don't think will have an issue getting it. Fast horse. It's not the easiest of races. I was also looking at Super Soldier, at 100's on the machine. Interesting one. Thunder Call obviously has talent and likely worthy fave, but does he have a experience yet?

Fortification 9/1ew

York 4.50 - If Point of Contact can't win a race like this, not sure what will suit it. His to lose.

Point of Contact 5/2

York 5.25 - Give James Sullivan a horse sat nav so that Rousing Encore doesn't find the backend of a horse, and this horse wins. Given is hold up, draw doesn't matter. All upto the jockey, who I'm not that convinced about, but has won on this horse before.

Rousing Encore 10/1ew

York 1.50 - Interesting handicap this. Is a C4 apprentice race and normally I'd leave, but, there's no pace here, so Orne has then chance to make all, but not sure is quite good enough to hold on and can make the pace for Lir Speciale who is taking a big step down in class and in good form

Lir Speciale 10/1ew

Bets 06/06/2026

2.05 - Pacific Mission 11/2ew

The 3yr old allowance is too big to ignore given nearly a G1 winner in a G3 race.

3.15 - This is tough. I was keen on Democracy Dilemma for this who backed when prices came out, but needs fast ground for best. Closest I got were these two, but not clean

Dream Composer 9/1ew,  Stormy Impact 12/1ew

4.00 - I have Maltese Cross 50/1 Antepost., but no real opinions this years as stayed focussed on handicaps.

4.40 - Allegresse 11/2ew

Looks ahead of mark

5.20 - Give it To Me Oj 7/1ew, Lord Melbournce 16/1ew

Both decent C&D runners

5.55 - Sondad 7/1ew, Solar Acclaim 22/1ew
