My first ever race meeting tomorrow with Grandstand tickets.

Absolutely rubbish with betting on horse racing (as are most on here), regardless, I will take a stab in the dark and ask for some tips for tomorrow.

Shoot.

    Racing is all about enjoying the day and getting smashed (whilst looking at the birds.....they always look fitter at the races).

    You going with lads?

    I meant race tips mate, but cheers!

    Unfortunately it is couple based but knowing all of our missus' it will still be messy.

    A girl from the office went yesterday and may mate was saying its not about the racing, its about getting drunk, chatting up some birds and if your lucky, getting sum in the car park after.

    Had no idea at all but will be planning a trip next year...

    Its a great day out, went to ladies day a few years back and it was brilliant. Just get drunk and pick a horse at random and don't expect to win anything!

    Royal Ascot is sort of like the best wedding you've ever been to, been on the Friday about 3 or 4 times and is always a great day out

    Ascot really is a good day out. You'll enjoy it mate.

    In the 15.05, Harbinger won't get beat. Won't be much of a price though.

    Ha.

    I've had a nightmare on here to be honest. so you're probably right.

    Harbinger will win though.

    I'm also going WSS in the Grandstand too. Hopefully we can have a bit of luck between us.

    Any proper tips please?!

    Dropped my son off at Chiselhurst early this morning (the lounge) with his girlfriend with a coach load of 'fillies' and mates ...... looks like a right 'jolly up'..... good luck to them.

    [cite]Posted By: c/a/f/c[/cite]in the wokingham @ 4.25 - Laddies Poker Two

    I had a share ownership of Laddies Poker Two before she was sold at the end of 2008 - she has not run since as she has sufffered a few injuries of late as she did for the two years that I was involved in the syndicate. She is much better than she has shown this far, especially if Noseda can get her spot on. She will absolutely love the fast ground and has a low draw (2) which could be good or bad depending on where the track is running best, so far this week it appears that high numbers have been favoured. We were told by the trainer during the 2008 campaign that he expected her handicap to move above 107 when compared to others in the yard and therefore she is "thrown in" if he has her back to anywhere near her best. She was bought at auction by Magnier, Tabor & Smith who were alerted to her potential by Mike Dillon at Ladbrokes who originally syndicated the horse. Another plus is that she absolutely excelled at Ascot on her only course appearance and won a decent handicap in great style - great day out that one !

    Saw Curbs there today and asked him to come back, he smiled and said "it's very sad the way things have happened".

    I'm taking that as a yes.
