Royal Ascot 2019

[Naffman]

Good start to cautious stakes.

Love how everyone kept backing So Perfect even though it was clear it was losing

Some people are too eager to get their bets in first before the price goes, to the extent that they back it before the first race hoping that Moore wins. I was getting ready to lay it at 2.5.

They gave so much time to back Space Blues though

Nooooooo, James Doyle double so close!

Presumably there will be total media silence re the fact that the 25/1 winner returned almost 61/1 on betfair. Why are the mainstream media such enemies of the ordinary punter?

The mainstream media makes the assumption that all punters back the favourite so the exchange price of an outsider isn't significant.

ITV are trying to keep things simple to the masses, start mentioning Betfair and you'll confuse their simple minds

I was too late exiting on Masar, that sharp drift in last 30secs cost me more than half my profit - just glad I got out before the off though!

Some idiot on the social stable who's never seen a horse other than in pictures suggested two-year-olds shouldn't be allowed to race!

You would think Matt Chapman, instead of being passive about it, might have mentioned that the 2000 Gunieas Maiden Stakes or the Epsom Derby Novices' Stakes would be a waste of money!!

[Dallas]

Good luck on the last feature everyone

[Dallas]

Totally flunked the feature!
Got myself into some bad positions early on and never got out of them

[Euler]

I've managed to keep an angle on things today. Didn't get much out of the feature only £97, but fairly consistent across the course with bigger results so should end on a good day.

[eightbo]

That's the worst, Dallas. I've found it tough these past few days at times deciding whether holding a trade can be justified - even when there's reasonable chance you should get your closing position matched in the near future, is the chunk of time it takes worth it?

[eightbo]

Fascinating chart

[Dallas]

Managed to finish the day on what I thought was the easiest trade of the day.
A below par day for me though but overall happy with the week - hope everyone else enjoyed it and got something from it

[Euler]

I cocked up on the last race and made a loss. Not the best way to end, but it's been a good week.

[eightbo]

6/6 today (only other perfect day was Thursday).

Day 1: Fluked a good result
Day 2: Paid for being overly aggressive
Day 3: Great day thanks to Dettori
Day 4: Good day until I cocked up in the last
Day 5: Consistent day of moderate profits

If I was offered my results before the festival, I would've taken them.
