Surely this is better value that taking the risk of racing to resume on or before the 1st of June at a similar price?

Nothing is value in these markets. Only a fool would bet them.

By:
A lot of fools going about in that case. Nearly 2 million matched on the 1st of June market.

May as well flip a coin imo

I agree but it is still possible for racing to go ahead on the 1st but subsequently see things go wrong causing problems for Ascot.
|
|
By:
My thinking is it wont go ahead on the first making Ascot a better bet with four weeks to go.
|

Queenie is a million to go surely? So how can it really be Royal Ascot ?
|
|
By:
Harry's going.

Iam firmly on the side of both happening. With all reasonable expectations how things will progress can see no reason for a commencement on the 1st then closely followed by R. A.
Good luck all concerned. |

If racing goes ahead on the 1st of June surely this bet should be a 1.1 chance? (considering the variables)

Could get a start stop like Paris

Unlike yourself steve I don't have a clairvoyant. It's a pure guessing game at the moment. That said I hope your bet comes up....it will relieve the boredom even if my stakes are 50 a day to start.

By:
hows it a guessing game?
|

By:
ffs steve I know you're not dense but there could be an upsurge any day. Only the government can decide.
btw miss stew thank's you for putting us on to updates shutdown. Both our laptops are running at approx. 90% instead of Pallokaville beforehand. |

Major revisions to this year's Royal Ascot have been unveiled including the introduction of six extra races, changes to the running order, consolation contests for prestigious handicaps and earlier start times throughout the week.
Last month Ascot announced its intention to run the royal meeting in its regular position in the calendar, this year scheduled for June 16-20, but with no spectators permitted to attend due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 7f Buckingham Palace Handicap, scrapped from the programme when the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup was created in 2015, returns and will be the opening race this year instead of the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes. Additionally, there will be consolation races for the Royal Hunt Cup and Wokingham and three new races for this year only — the 1m6f Copper Horse Handicap for four-year-olds and up, the 1m2f Golden Gates Handicap for three-year-olds and the 5f Palace of Holyroodhouse Handicap for three-year-olds. All new race names have been approved by the Queen. Ascot has also shuffled the order for the King Edward VII Stakes and Ribblesdale Stakes, pushing them to the first day of the meeting to provide the maximum amount of time before the Investec Derby and Oaks on July 4. The St James's Palace Stakes has moved in the opposite direction to be on the final day of the meeting, along with the Coronation Stakes, to increase the time between these races and the Qipco 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket on June 6-7. The Queen Mary Stakes, Norfolk Stakes and Coventry Stakes have been moved to the end of the royal meeting to give the two-year-old runners extra time between their debuts and the meeting. All 36 races are set to be shown on Sky Sports Racing with ITV broadcasting the action on its main channel from race two during the week and from race three on Saturday. Racing will begin at 1.15pm from Tuesday to Friday and 12.40pm on Saturday, with the final race at 4.40pm. Prize-money figures, which are expected to be lower than usual, will be announced in due course. |

If Royal Ascot is your thing and you have a bank specifically for this then lump it on yes to be on. Goes ahead you have a bigger bank, if not, you got nowt to bet there anyway. Was the same sort of thing for Cheltenham which is more my cup of tea.
|
|
By:
6 extra races and what a surprise they are all handicaps.
Yet again bookmakers delighted. |
|
By:
No surprise there.
|
|
By:
if you specifically have a bank for royal ascot it surely isn't for this years event. a royal ascot like no other, study the formbook all night and yours turns up looking like its been eating popcorn & watching netflix for the last month ...

Those big 30 runner handicaps now 12 runners? hence the consolation races??
|
|
By:
Brilliant programme the Saturday looks exceptional can’t wait fingers crossed now everything goes ahead..
Differentdrum just don’t bother having a bet on the six added races pretend there not there rather than letting it spoil the fixture for you. |
|
By:
Duffy I don’t think it will apply to royal ascot ,not sure but don’t think it was a stipulation for racing restarting,
|
|
By:
It does look fantastic and unlike football, no crowds will make little difference to the experience.
|
|
By:
hard for French to come over now 14 days q
|
|
By:
Fashion
It doesn’t apply to haulage so possibly horse transportation,I would hope they find away. |
|
By:
Wesley Ward is still looking to send his horses over but won't be attending himself, he'll use UK staff that he knows from the past experiences and are ready to look after his team, seems to be sweet on the chances of Kimari in the Commonwealth Cup (second in the Queen Mary last year).

Anyone know if christophe soumillon will be in attendance?
|
|
By:
RA to go ahead a shorter price than Newcastle now..
|
|
By:
No thank you, no form to go on, no idea re fitness, glad it is on, but no punt, think this season a write off for me.
|
|
By:
I think it depends on the Governments 'exceptions' as to whether christophe soumillon will be in attendance, cant see him want to be in quarantine for two weeks.
|
|
By:
Never really thought about that TT but haven't France and the UK came to some sort of agreement?
|
|
By:
I think the UK changed its stance on France but said that there would be some exceptions to the quarantine without giving out any details, lets hope he gets there.
|
|
By:
What about France exemption?
Asked why there's no longer a quarantine exemption for people coming to the UK from France, Priti Patel says there are "limited" ones, details of which will be published later. |
|
By:
no exception for france only haulage etc from there..cant think horses will fall into that category
|
|
By:
What are the rules re private plane landing at small private airport or something similar. I would think any easy way could be found if needed for Mon.Soumillon and Co.
