I see that TVG is offering wagering on Royal Ascot. Does anyone know who else is offering the signal? I checked Twinspires and Xpressbet....no luck there.

Thanks.

I believe it is Attheraces that offers tremendous video coverage of the Ascot Races. You may have to be a member, not sure if it's free or not, but it is definitely worth checking out. I watched last year and they do a superb job covering the races.

I sure would like to see Gladiatorus state side. Send him to the best teacher of run-off turfers we have…Bill Mott and watch him rack up the Grd-1’s.

does anyone know what the betting pool sizes are in Europe? Are all bets made by bookmaker over there, or can you bet parimutually at the track?

You can bet with the pari mutual at the track, off track you can bet into the pools through betfair on the UK/Irish racing aswell, there might be other ways of betting into those pools off track but I'm not sure.Yesterday, there was over £1 million matched on the St James Palace stakes on betfair about 10 mins before they jumped, probably closer to £2 mill at the off. I have no idea how strong the pari mutual pool was though

What do you guys think about Jealous Again,the Wesley Ward horse Velasquez is on today in the second last race, it won in Keeneland on debut by 11 lengths. Johnny V seems to think he's got a shot from his press interviews, it's about 9/1 with the books in the UK at the moment

Whereas we have comments like "They are now at the eighth pole," at Royal Ascot the call is more akin to "They are passing THE DIP."

Like Tattenham corner at Epsom or "the bushes" at Newmarket, they have unique points of reference.

The jumps never cease to amaze me and what compels them to risk their neck. :faint: Every year in Saratoga you can hear Durkin hold his breath with every fence and most every year there is at least one horrific spill.
