Graham Motion returns with Miss Temple City. The brits are making no jokes about her now and possibly putting their money where their mouths are to replace where they had their feet last year.
Just read an article in which Graham says she is bigger and better this year than last.
Tepin wins! Was that only a mile? looking at the time, Could that be right? 1:47?
Great win! No lasix, no nasal strip, jock new to the track and Tepin looked great!
Yes, Queen Anne is a straight mile (and no lead ponies and Tepin looked like a pro behind the gate and loading).
Wonder what the post time is for the Duke of Cambridge Stakes is on Wednesday (Miss Temple City).
10:40 tomorrow for Miss Temple City http://www.twinspires.com/blog/2016/6/12/2016-royal-ascot-overview-complete-race-order-when-watch
Thank you - I can handle the ET to PT conversion 
Mongolian Saturday in the King’s Stand Stakes :eek:
Had to be led all the way down to the gate with the jock trotting behind due to his antics (which wouldn’t have been an issue here as he’d have had a lead pony).
Made a good account of himself until he faded at the end.
Noticed that it looks like the assistant starters do wear helmets but not chest protectors…

Is there anywhere to watch the livestream and replays without signing up to wager?
If you have TVG they are showing the races live.
Thanks LaurieB. Unfortunately I don’t have TVG and can not get it.
I’d love to see a replay of Galileo Gold’s race in the St.James Place. I’ll suppose I’ll have to be patient and wait for someone to put it up on youtube.
Is there a replay of Tepin’s win anywhere online?

Thanks! I was just going to ask…
As outlandish as the hats at Ascot can be, imo nothing in their imaginative lids can equal that blue horse tail chapeau worn by Johnny Weir at the Kentucky Derby. As the consistently drab dresser that Queen Elizabeth has always been she gets an A grade from me for enduring the Ascot fashion mania for all these years.

The time was 1:43
Keep in mind that
i) races in England (and most of the rest of the world for that matter) are timed from a standing start, as opposed to the run up timer in the States. That adds a couple of seconds to the time.
ii) the Queen Anne is over a straight mile is uphill for a good part of the race, esp the last 2f which are a stiff rise.
ii) the going was officially “Soft”, which translated to American standards would be like a bog. What they consider “Good” in England would be Soft in the US.
The race was listed as slow by 5.18secs by the Racing Post, i.e it was 5.18 slower than the average time for races over that course and distance.
