From what I was told, $36 million US was bet into Royal Ascot day 2 yesterday (total is across the globe). Through four races today, over $21 million US has been wagered globally.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Kyprios is challenged but wins a thriller at 3-to-5. Aidan O'Brien wins the Gold Cup for the ninth time.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Brittany Russell has a $475,000 horse owned by Mike Repole making a debut today at Delaware. And Unbridled as the grandsire.

Update: third in a maiden race and a route 1 mi 70 yds, maybe go shorter next time. Got out to the lead, tired fought back somewhat. Onto the Watch List.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

$36.5 million bet at Royal Ascot on Day 3 from what I understand. Roughly $5 million+ per race. That is a global figure.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Gulf is estimating a $4 million Pick 6 jackpot for Saturday should the exotic not be hit tomorrow.

Bob Baffert debuts an Arrogate ridgling today and an Arrogate filly tomorrow at Los Alamitos. He also has a $600, 000 Into Mischief colt debuting today. Opening weekend at the southern Cal track

Santa Anita's numbers were similar to to the 2022-23 meet, one less race day this year and about $7 million in daily handle. Stable not great but not underwhelming considering the issues ongoing in the state.

Day 4: 142 horses entered at Ascot in seven races.

EDIT: The recap...

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Fairy Godmother is one fine looking 2-year-old. She is 2-for-3 lifetime and was purchased for $539,000 US. That was an extraordinary finish in the day four opener.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

$22 million bet so far through four races, near the average of $5 million bet per race.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Soprano pays $39.20 in race 5 at Ascot.

Through five races, $27.3 million bet universally.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

$35 million bet today at Royal Ascot. Right at the average of $5m per race.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Soprano pays $39.20 in race 5 at Ascot.

And just like that, Barzini wins at Laurel. Soprano and Barzini would have made a.good double. Too much fun for one day.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Gulf's Pick 6 will start at $520,000 but is expected to reach $4,000,000 today. Mandatory payout.

Ascot starts the day.

Woodbine will also have an attractive presence.

$31.8 million bet so far at Ascot. Race day ongoing.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Prat/Brown/Klaravich win both ends of the early double at New York for a resounding $2 based on a $1 wager. Yikes.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

A rough tabulation that $170 million US was bet into Royal Ascot week. Today was the conclusion.
