Simon Nott; music journalist and betting price compilation communications man , had recently been a contestant on Anne Robinson's quiz show the Weakest Link! It was being aired on day one of Royal Ascot and there we were in the betting ring, Just above us is the Royal Box. I could only see Prince Andrew so perhaps Her Majesty the Queen was off placing a bet! Ha ha You tube's tage suggestions are a funny thing! Because I have put 'Prince Andrew' as a tag it has come up with a suggestion for another tag: 'Frog' !!

Leatherhead wins again! [05:12]
Exactly a year ago, Leatherhead broke his maiden, April 16th 2010. And today he wins his second career win on April 16 2011. Is it really a coincidence? Both times Maylan Studart rode him. He had actually broken her leg in June 2009. Well, at least she broke his maiden!!!

A Sexy Horse: we pick Dan Breen at Sandown over champagne and seafood tapas [00:40]
A bottleof champagne; two large glasses of ornage to make buck's fizz; seafood tapas with breads for 3 people all for £54; lovely live music and overlooking the paddock! I could indulge having backed Posh Emily each way at 14/1 (3rd) and Russian Flag to win at 8/1 (won) but my former colleague at the Royal Geographical Society Kathryn hadn't yet had a bet. She was a first time racegoer and inspired by my succesas a tipster so far decided to have a good bet on Dan Breen. Somehow; we thought he was just a sexy horse whn he entered the Parade ring...
