P594 Teletext 594 Jun25 23:16:16 — WITH STEVE SMITH ECCLES ———————— A WEEK AT ASCOT What a fantastic week's racing we were treated to at Royal Ascot. Tuesday gave us a scintillating performance by Bahri in the St James Palace Stakes, with John Dunlop, his trainer, going on to complete a 130/1 treble. But with the highs come the low points. One such was the dismal performance of last year's top pjrformjr Balanchine in his long-awaited return to the track. ——————————————————————————————————1/5—— Steamers 590 Totes 589 CONTACTS ONLY BET THIS SEASON SEE "SHOULD WEN 5 OR 6 LNGTHS MON" P562 Diary Greyhounds Track facts HeadlinesP594 Teletext 594 Jun25 23:18:04 — WITH STEVE SMITH ECCLES ———————— A WEEK AT ASCOT Wednesday brought us one of the classic riding performances of the week. The young but talented Irishman Richard Hughes staged an immaculately timed run with Sergeyjv to win the Jersey Stakes. Ridgewood Pearl slammed her opponents and critics who said she needed soft ground to win the Coronation Stakes in emphatic style. ——————————————————————————————————2/5—— Steamers 590 Totes 589 CONTACTS ONLY BET THIS SEASON SEE "SHOULD WEN 5 OR 6 LNGTHS MON" P562 Diary Greyhounds Track facts HeadlinesP594 Teletext 594 Jun25 23:24:15 — WITH STEVE SMITH ECCLES ———————— A WEEK AT ASCOT Thursday belonged to Frankie Dettori and Double Trigger. He kicked off with Phantom Gold for the Queen and went on to win the Norfolk Stakes on Lucky Lionel, completing a great day with a treble on So Factual in the Cork and Orrery Stakes. Double Trigger's performance in the Gold Cup was one of the best I have seen in many a year. ——————————————————————————————————3/5—— Headlines 570 Totes 589 CONTACTS ONLY BET THIS SEASON SEE "SHOULD WEN 5 OR 6 LNGTHS MON" P562 Diary Greyhounds Track facts HeadlinesP594 Teletext 594 Jun25 23:24:42 — WITH STEVE SMITH ECCLES ———————— A WEEK AT ASCOT Friday underlined the glorious unpredictability of racing. Mind Games was most people's banker of the week, but Jack Berry's star sprinter could only finish third, behind Mick Channon's Piccolo and French raider Struggles. It was good to see Mick's hard work rewarded with his second Royal Ascot winner after Great Deeds. ——————————————————————————————————4/5—— Steamers 590 Totes 589 CONTACTS ONLY BET THIS SEASON SEE "SHOULD WEN 5 OR 6 LNGTHS MON" P562 Diary Greyhounds Track facts HeadlinesP594 Teletext 594 Jun25 23:17:04 Advert RACING NEWS >> DAY'S BEST BET ALWAYS GIVEN FIRST MY BET OF THE ROYAL ASCOT MEETING ] W ONE OF MY TOP CONTACTS HAS SAVED UP TO HAVE JUST ONE BET ONLY THIS SEASON "I DON'T JUST EXPECT IT TO WIN IEXPECTITTOWINBY ON LINE NOW Charges/min:39p cheap/49p other times NEWSTEL,36 Washington St,Glasgow,G3 8AZ Diary Greyhounds Track facts Headlines
