As small improvement from Sir George at Ascot this afternoon. But we’ll let him tell the story…
Sir George Paddock Bt writes…
Well, that’s racing for you! Today we had one winner at 12/1 and a place at 8/1, resulting in a return of £13.92, a small loss of £1.08 on a total bet of£15. One of our two losing horses, Mighty Gurkha, missed out on the place money by a smidgen. So not an entirely bad result for Team Paddock.
I defy the editor chappie’s scorn by pointing out that the Royal meeting pitches the best bred and trained horses in the world against each other in fiercely competitive racing. Picking one winner is hard enough, let alone four, don’tcha know?
Being above all a gentleman, I might also point out that our selection Mighty Gurkha politely and loyally made way for her majesty’s Horse, Tactical, who achieved a popular win in the 4.10. God Bless your Majesty!
I’ll be back tomorrow with some more Ascot selections. Third time lucky
Thank you Sir George See you tomorrow -Ed
