How Day 1 (Tuesday) is looking...

http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/m...014/fast-cards

Would be nice to see Verrazano do well in the Queen Anne.

Have not looked much but the one I can't wait to play is Sole Power in the King's Stand (... cause you know Shea Shea will be so heavily backed).

Looking at some of the noms for next week... cannot wait for the Coronation Stakes (what a nice group of fillies!)...

... and, of course, Treve, The Fugue, Magician, Dank et al in the Prince of Wales's Stakes...

Should be an unbelievable week! As always. Can't wait.

Maybe you'll find this helpful...

edit- oh duh never mind I see Steve posted this earlier.

Wanted to mention earlier but forgot... for the Goldikova fans (haha all of us) her little brother, Anodin, is in the Queen Anne tomorrow.

Queen Anne Stakes... Tullius, Verrazano, Anodin

Coventry Stakes... Longshot for the day is Bossy Guest

King's Stand Stakes... Lock for the day - Sole Power/ using Ahtoug and Guerre underneath

St James's Palace Stakes... Sitting this out cause the 2 favorites will be at no odds (and they are both so good).

Ascot Stakes...I like Gabrial's King and Suraj... will see how the odds move and probably use Perfect Heart as well.

Windsor Castle Stakes... Was going to sit this out but looking at Haxby and Among Angels...

Good luck everyone and come home safe, kids.

Nice effort by Verrazano. Refreshing to see a horse pointed in this direction rather than stud duty.

I love this horse. Why he went off at 6/1 I will never know.

The ponies have been good to you this week. Well done!

Wish we'd known how good he was way back here...

THis was what you posted at the time so I guess no one expected he'd be so good...

Sitting out tomorrow as nothing jumps out at me but cannot wait for Days 4 and 5. Who are you liking the next few days?

I just watch. Honestly, I haven't followed overseas racing in years, I don't know how you keep up with it all! I do think Starboard and Chil The Kite are very pretty in this next race.

2nd at 31-1. I'm as good as that #eyeselected dude on twitter.

So Starspangledbanner's fertility was so low that he came back to racing in 2012, but he still has two G2 winners at Royal Ascot from his 2011 crop!

Well hooray for your pick! No idea who the #eyeselected guy is but then I don't follow most of the normal horsie people others seem to.

Crazy stuff!

edit - Took a last look but yeah.. will sit it out (but rooting for Mind of Madness and the Queen's horse, Estimate).
