Can’t remember a time with as many of the eye-catchers placing, but winners scarce. Today was a prime example again!

[James Flaherty @JFlaRacingNerd]

@OTTR_Elliot Do you have any stats on their pre-Ascot purchases? Their overall figures are obviously good but feel like they’re “new buys” could be even better.

As anticipation builds ahead of next week, another shout for this Festival Edges piece with some noteworthy (and profitable) angles 👇🏻

@DavidCarvi14183 I think you’re missing the whole point of the column David. It is not a tipping column, although I do tipping columns occasionally in addition. All the best.

Six horses that caught my eye from the Epsom Derby Festival. I’ll be disappointed if most of these don’t win at some stage this season 👀👇🏻

@DavidCarvi14183 Won’t all win on their next start. Depends on the conditions etc. Have to wait for the right set up too, not just about spotting well handicapped horses 👍

@NBramma1 @AtTheRaces They landed some touch with Between Friends. Was 20/1 last night in a couple of places.

The Royal Ascot site on @AtTheRaces is now live. Brilliant content there for your study ahead of the biggest week of the year on the flat, including a Festival Edges piece from yours truly 👇

@NBramma1 @AtTheRaces Thanks Neil. Glad you were on. They were overdue after so many placing recently!

[Matthew Taylor @WestTip1986]

So if every punter “must be entitled to a fair chance for their investment”, what if your horse is brought down - is that a n/r?

Or hampered during the race by another runner?

Or drawn on an unfavoured side of the track?

Where exactly do you draw the line?

[James Flaherty @JFlaRacingNerd]

@RowleyfileRRR Surely after that “dash”?

[James Flaherty @JFlaRacingNerd]

Six more for those @AtTheRaces tracker’s including giving a recent one another chance 👀👇🏻

Blown away by Sun Goddess there at the Curragh. Think it will take a fair juvenile filly to beat her at Royal Ascot, whatever race she goes for!

[James Flaherty @JFlaRacingNerd]

My thoughts on the 1000 Guineas today from the Curragh for @AtTheRaces 👇🏻
