Nicely played Ruff

[JolyB]

Quite an emphatic victory Ruff. You had it wrapped up about 2/3 of the way through the card.

[RUFFIAN]

🤎🩵🩷🙏❤️🩵❣️ THANKS JOLY + RQ

Believe it or not
I’m usually surprised when I win
With so many excellent handicappers here
It’s always an honor and a thrill when it happens

PurrrrrHaps it’s due to my
Personal relationship with EPONA 🐎
THE HORSE GODDESS ❣️

[RUFFIAN]

DO WE EVER PLAY ROYAL ASCOT IN ENGLAND
They have a good card on Saturday

Of all my great attributes
Memory is not at the top of the list
So I don’t remember if we ever played that track

It would make for an interesting contest if we do

If we do not then probably it will be KEENELAND

So please let me know if ASCOT Is @ A Go

Opinions always welcome

[Real Quiet]

We have never played a European track nor have we ever played Dubai or the Saudi Cup. It has always been a North American track as our venue.

[RUFFIAN]

🙏❤️🙏THANKS RQ
That’s kind of what I thought but I wanted to be sure

Keeneland probably the Choice
Unless there are objections and or suggestions elsewhere

I am always flexible to suggestion

[JolyB]

RQ is correct, we have never played a track outside of North America. There are just too many logistical difficulties, not to mention the challenge of obtaining pp's and other data on the runners, plus the problems that time zone differences would pose. If you want to watch Royal Ascot on Saturday, you need to be up early to check the scratches.

Trying to find winning exactas or tris in those races can be a real challenge. The 16:35 (Balmoral Handicap) currently has 23 entrants, and the bookies are offering 15/2 odds on each of the co-favorites. I think that two of the races are a "win and you're in" for the Breeders Cup.

Keeneland has a nice card and is probably the best choice one could make. I say that a bit wistfully, for the Ascot races are wonderful to watch, but not so good to bet.
