THERE are many things that make Royal Ascot different, that set it apart from just about every other race meeting. There’s the royal thing for starters, and the cavalcade down the centre of the track (and no, the carriages were not four-wheel-drive this year), and the betting on the colour of the hat.
A meeting at which you can back your first winner (or loser) a half an hour before the first race.
