Looking forward to another great day of racing at Ascot. Suppose my question is will Mark Johnston get a winner today? He has a blank score sheet so far this year but usually does well at Ascot.
ATR report "Johnston believes he has a strong hand with Captain Webb and Age Of Reason as he attempts to improve an already impressive record in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot on Friday.
The Middleham trainer has won the two-mile heat four times since the turn of the century with And Beyond (2001), Shanty Star (2003), Melrose Avenue (2005) and Soapy Danger (2006).. . .
4.55 QUEEN'S VASE
"AGE OF REASON was returning from a four-month break when finishing third to Unnefer over 1m2f at Newmarket recently - an encouraging effort, especially as it was his first run on turf. He's essentially a 1m4f horse, but we've won this race before with similar types. A bit like Soapy Danger, he could well come back in trip after this as he's not an out-and-out stayer but his class makes him a serious contender.
"CAPTAIN WEBB won the Glasgow Stakes like a horse who's going to relish stepping up from 1m3f and his performance that day convinces me that his Sandown defeat three weeks earlier was a blip. I've no idea what went wrong there, but he's unbeaten in his other four starts and is very progressive.
The yard is split over who's our number one contender, but I rate him as probably my best chance of the week.""

Mark Johnston usually puts in a few winners at Acot but is winless so far this year so I will be paying special atention to his horses today.

Ascot racing tips Tuesday 17th June 2008
First day of Ascot and the press are talking up the Stoute/ Moore combination but as ever I will be having a close look at Mark Johnston's runners.
Mj's website Mark Johnstone Racing states that "The Epsom Derby Meeting has seen the yard enjoy its fair share of success over the years, but the real jewel in our crown is Mark’s consistent record of success at Royal Ascot. As ever, Mark will think long and hard about the team of horses he will assemble for this year’s Royal Meeting....Last year’s meeting saw Zaham and Boscobel win for the yard, while 2006’s trio of winners included Soapy Danger."
He sends 3 to Ascot today:
- Harwalla (IRE) 16:20 Ascot
- Shaweel (GB) 16:20 Ascot
- Effort (GB) 17:30 Ascot
Interestingly he sends just one, Jerry Hamilton (USA) 20:30 Yarmouth, on the 219 mile journey to Yarmouth tonight, at 14/1 he has to carry a couple of quid each way..
Back in April "Mark stated at this year’s Owners’ Party that the yard’s principal goal in 2008 would be to earn as much prize-money for our patrons as possible, and that the horses would travel wherever necessary to achieve that goal.
