What a run from Deacon Blues yesterday to finish off Royal Ascot for us!
We've staked a total of 17 points across the five days, and came away with a PROFIT of 14.875 points, that's a yield of 87.5%.
As well as today's great success the highlight of the week for me was landing Sagramor @ 8/1 in the Britannia on Thursday, what a ride from Nicky Mackay!

That's three major festivals this year where this blog has returned solid profit:
Cheltenham: 12.8% yield from 34 bets
Aintree: 22.1% yield from 19 bets
Royal Ascot: 87.5% yield from 13 bets

onwards and upwards!

One bet today:

Pontefract

3.40pm Shallow Bay
2pt Each Way bet
Current Betfair price: 6.6
Best available elsewhere: 6/1 (Victor Chandler, William Hill)
Shallow Bay has shown already in his first two outings this season, that he can compete at this level.  His third run at Sandown, where he finished nowhere, can be largely discounted.  Just as he was picking up for a run a furlong out, he was badly impeeded, and was practically pulled up.  I don't think he would have reached the winner, but he would certainly have had a better finishing place.  Today, the booking of Kieron Fallon is significant, and I feel he's worthy of a good each way bet.

Thanks,
