John Sadler is sending Missed the Cut (Quality Road) over for the Hardwicke Stakes (G2). I didn't know he was a SW in England already.

My pick in epsom Derby was Voyage/city of troy...came in that way, except Voyage lost rider so will try him again in the king edward VII

Anyone have a weather report? Seems like big rock needs it pretty firm or at least good to firm, but at 5-1 not sure I would want those odds.

So far i like Beliving in the king charles. Vauban in the Gold Cup w/Trueshan to get a piece cuz he wll get that distance.

Congrats to anyone who hit the EX or TRI in the Coventry. The first three home were 80, 40, and 50 to 1 on Racing Post.

Rosallion wins arguably the most competitive race of the week, the St James's Palace Stakes. Notable Speech ran very flat, maybe too keen being dropped out the back in a race without much pace.

Pledgeofallegiance (Sea the Stars) wins the 2 mile 4 furlong Ascot Stakes over Divine Comedy and Kyle of Lochalsh.

Prominent early; weakened late. Hopefully the rest of Ward's horses will fair better.

Hey, NBC! How about not going to commercial as the last horses are loading into the gate? Thanks!

Bummer

Running Lion won her race. She's a daughter of the late Roaring Lion, so this made me happy.

She finished 20th. Yikes.

I know this is a complaint repeated yearly, but WHY does Wesley Ward use American jockeys at RA?
