Default ROYAL ASCOT Tuesday-Friday . . . early birds

Just in case you may not know tomorrow morning 7:00 CT it starts. This is one series of the highest level races where to me the pomp and circumstance and dress and royalty involvement is way more interesting than the races with horses I know little if anything about.

There will likely be some great races and finishes and Frankie D'tori (sp?) high jumping dismounts. That said. it's truly one of racings world wide signature events, 4 days no less.

Enjoy the days!!!

It's worth getting up early to watch. As an added bonus, the meet includes racing on Saturday as well.

For me the size of some of the fields takes a bit of getting used to. For example, Wednesday's Royal Hunt has been whittled down to "only" 30 runners.

As if you didn't need any additional reason to watch Royal Ascot -- this year 4 of the races provide a "win and you're in" entry into the Breeders' Cup championship races. That starts with today's Queen Anne and includes tomorrow's Prince of Wales, Thursday's Norfolk and Saturday's Diamond Jubilee.

Set the timer on the coffee pot and enjoy!
