Swinley Bottom, who takes over from Winterborne Longjohns in the summer months offers his thoughts on Royal Ascot – Not entirely different from our previous post from Sir George….
Difficult to get one,s head around this supposed RoyalAscot this year. Possibly following the ever reliable Frankie might be the best solution. Swinley s 1:1:2:2:4 La Boucherie Betting System in which one stops after each winner and returns to the original 1 point stake might provide both a live interest and a reasonable profit. Take note that so far in this extraordinary season Dettori has ridden 12 winners from 28 rides, a strike rate of just over 48 percent. Last weeks 9 rides brought him 5 winners and his followers an S.P. Profit of 9.25 points.
This same system if applied to the quite remarkably different son of that long term genius jockey Kieron Fallon , far better when on a horse than off it! Cieron (son) has over the last fortnight ridden 47 races and won 5 of them. He has now lost his 3lb apprentice allowance but a notional profit of over 400 points for any punter far sighted enough to have followed him with some rewarding S.P.s including his latest 200/1 winner at Newbury on Saturday. He has three rides at Ascot tomorrow.
So there is Frankie with live chances in all six Ascot races on Tuesday and a not to be overlooked Wesley Ward, once again over from America, with some 20 runners throughout the week.
Be Lucky and Bet Like a Man, as the Bookies would say !
