ROYAL ASCOT DAY FOUR FRIDAY 18 JUNE 2010

THE ARORA HOTEL TROPHY = ‘GOLD ARM BAND’ = TOP JOCKEY AT ROYAL ASCOT 2010 .......? At the close of Royal Ascot yesterday (17.06.10) with two further days and twelve more races to be won, Willie Carson’s advice is that the riders/jockeys who have two wins on the board already have the most likely chance of winning this competition.



PAUSE FOR THOUGHT
Royal Ascot has long since been renowned as a tricky place to pick the winners.


Richard Hughes riding for Richard Hannon last Tuesday (15.06.2010) oh so nearly pulled off a treble. But had to settle for a double, and a second with Paco Boy, just touched off by Goldikova 11/8 fav. What a truly fantastic performance for trainer Richard Hannon to achieve in one day, at Royal Ascot, all with the help of Richard Hughes his retained jockey, and so, so many others who go to make up his Multi Talented and Exciting Team at Home.
