Gammalite Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Very excited to see the best meeting in the world on this week for 5 straight days Tuesday to Saturday. some of The best on the planet on show racing the famous course. Thrilled for ex-pat kiwis Chris Waller with Jmac riding conquered the world there last year with Nature Strip. This year, the Group1 Lightning winner COOLANGATTA is there to take em' on. A great Aussie name to do us proud hopefully. How's this for a great bit of trivia. >>>>>>>>> All Six of our down-under Royal Ascot winners won the Group 1 'Lightning Stakes' down the Flemington straight, before going over to England ! quite amazing. Choisir started the ball rolling , followed by Takeover Target, Miss Andretti, Scenic Blast , Black Caviar and Nature Strip. all were Flemington Lightning winners. hoping for Coolangatta to make it the lucky 7 this year 🏆. there is also Artorius and The Astrologist also having a crack this year during this week as well. The queen is sadly completed her reign , so hoping the King 'Heir apparent' William and Kate take up the Royal prestige of the event .

Gammalite Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 Royal Ascot about to rock !! at last .... Jmac with 5 rides tonight that I saw. Coolangatta for Oz seems the best. Fine weather at Royal Ascot for first day . gunna be a cracker !! Looking for the BIG OZ Quinella in the famous 'Kings Stand' tonight. 🏇🏇 = 💰 😄. A race won so well by a few Aussies. COOLANGATTA (Jmac) and CANNONBALL (Prebble) for the money ?? go boys (and girl Cooly) Takeover Target (2006 Kings Stand) on YouTube well worth a look if you love 'hairs on the neck' racing . But bloody rain at Birmingham where everyone hoping to catch the Aussies WIN the First Ashes Test while waiting for the races to start. they need 170 to win . piss off rain lol...😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the rain stopped and the Aussies have taken the First Test of the Ashes .... yeeeeesssss wahoo . 55 runs for the 9th wicket with Captain Courageous Cummins and Nathan 'Lyon-heart' . heroes of the nation. Poms under the pump on their home decks now. 🏏🏏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Centaur Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 For some unfathomable reason Wednesday Race 1 The Queen Mary Stakes has been abandoned by the TAB. No betting at all. Wanted to bet on Gaiden a 40:1 longshot. Must get a Betfair account or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find there is no TAB betting on races 5 and 7 as well. There is even a number 31 horse in race 5 lol. The stupid prehistoric TAB can't cope with that . Just too many numbers for their POOR as PISS system..(is same here QLD TAB) I've bet with SPORTSbet for years now. they are betting on these races ok. Bit better service to the punters. The TAB are just a thing of the past. have poor odds and everything. Edited June 21, 2023 by Gammalite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 And the Kings horse Wins !! on the 3rd day . How very fitting . The queen is dead but her beloved horses are still winning for Charles now. Tom Marquand riding. I backed Valiant King because the King was present at Royal Ascot each day, and then his own bloody horse knocks it off by a head ! She is a cruel game this racing game sometimes lol.....😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
