Once again English high society steps out at Royal Ascot this week and if you want to examine the irrelevance of the actual racing to most of them then replay the movie 'My Fair Lady' and see their perfect representation as motionless mannequins looking just bored. It's fun from an Irish viewpoint to take the mickey out of something so fantastic. Except this time it's going to be pretty harmless stuff compared to some of the nasty reality surrounding it.

Things are going very well at the minute with seven winners already this month but that is what you want in this game. The really pleasing thing is that all the horses are running well and even those that are not winning are still running well so we are delighted.
