Day 1 of the ROYAL ASCOT Meeting of 2012 was a fantastic spectacle and a pure joy to behold. For all of us here in Australia, it was fantastic and compulsive viewing kicking off with the Queen’s arrival and then it all kicked off with Frankel’s effortless 11 length victory. Next to go was the King Stands Stakes, the main sprint race which went to the boys from Hong Kong. Unfortunately Paul Messara’s mare Ortensia didn’t run as well as hoped but Paul nonetheless he was interviewed and showed his he was a true gentleman and a top ambassador for our sport.
The night was also touched with some controversy when the coverage of the "At The Races" programme stirred some emotion courtesy of some bizarre statements by their English on air hosts.
Whilst it was drama that kept us glued to the TV and twitter into the wee small hours, Dynamic Syndications were being well represented at Royal Ascot by our own
ADAM WATT who was flying both the Aussie and Dynamic Flags.
Reports and photos were filtering back throughout the day at Royal Ascot.
These photos below suggest Adam was doing it “very tough” and looked to be having a very quiet time (lol).

Importantly, ADAM caught up with our Dynamic Trainer
PETER MOODY after the races for a quiet drink and latest news on Black Caviar. Then the boys started mapping out plans for some Dynamic horses to visit Royal Ascot over the next few years !

The King Stand Stakes was the main sprint race on the card over 1,000m. This was taken out by HK runner Little Bridge ridden by HK based Aussie

Adam reported he was amazed with the generous hospitality offered by leading auction house
William Inglis & Sons. He is photographed here with Inglis Director –
JONATHAN D'ARCY at the post race function.
Adam also reported it was terrific to see so many Aussies at Royal Ascot and how unique it felt with at least 90% of the boys in their Top Hats and Tails.

The facilities for both the horses and humans were first class.
Adam will be at Royal Ascot again on Saturday as the whole of Australia gets behind Peter Moody’s awesome mare Black Caviar. Even the locals have embraced the Black Caviar fever as can be seen here in this London cab.
