Two seconds yesterday, and very frustrating ones at that.  On both occasions our selections, along with the winners, pulled away from the rest of the field.  An all too familiar sight when our selections get beaten.
Thankfully quality horses are in abundance this week, with Royal Ascot getting under way today.
