still, will win easy, even with a heavy track, which i dont think it will get to anyway.

Royal Ascot is a 5 (??) day event with 8 (?) races a day. So you are telling me that aussies have won 5 races out of 360.

Do you see Frankel tonight? Won by about 8 lenghts at a canter.

I know, not so impressive, as I said, a misread.

Frankel the horse or blue eagles player?

English bookies have got Black Caviar at $1.30.

The official price for Frankel yesterday was $1.10 but I noticed 2 prices of $1.01 and $1.00

They had a second Frankel-less tote which was actually worth betting on

Caviar at 1.30 is a bargain

Yes, saw that tote last night and I also agree, caviar is a great bet at those odds.

5/360 isn't impressive, but how many of the 360 races had an Aussie entrant? What if it was only 5 races! Or even 10... a 50% win ratio is still pretty good.

What if each race had 10 horses in it and 9 of those horses were aussies. So you only have 5 winners out of 3,240 horses.
