Big overlay.
33-1 starting price in the UK.
That's where the value is in the US pool on occasion.
High priced long shots. Any horse under 10-1 is usually
poor value due to the takeout. Routinely, a 3-1 shot
will pay 5-2, or less.
Trainer of the winner, Eve Johnson Houghton, is from
one of the blue blood families of UK racing. Her father,
Fulke, trained some of the great Charles Englehard
horses in the late 1960s. He retired in 2006.

Found it hard to believe that this was Eve's first Royal Ascot winner.
Good for her.
