Tom's Royal Ascot Day 5 Selections

The fifth and final day of what has been a great Royal Ascot . There has been some spectacular scenes from the not just the horses but their winning connections too and none more so than when Quiet Reflection took the group one Commonwealth cup for the ONTOAWINNER syndicate .

It showed that the so called " little guys " in the racing world can mix it with the giants of the racing world. Only a couple of weeks ago the EQUINEGROWTHSYNDICATE won the Irish 1,000 guineas with Jet Setting before selling her to mega bucks owners ,CHINA RACING CLUB . Racing proved then and today that their is a place for everyone in the racing world. All you need is a dream !!

The most impressive winner of the week,so far anyway, has to be Lady Aurelia from the Stonestreet Farm who's colours have beens carried by some of the most impressive winners in US racing history but what this 2yo in the Queen Mary blew me away. Frankie broke well, went to the front etting blistering fractions and then Frankie said go! Any other year Al Johrah would have been the star of the race as she powered away from Clem Fandango by 2 1/2 lengths. Unfortunately for her Lady Aurelia was 7 lengths in front of her . To win by that far ove such a short distance against that classy of a field is mind boggling .
