Today’s Skinny:
Day 4 of 5 from the prestigious Royal Ascot stand is headlined by Group 1 co-features, the Commonwealth Cup and the Coronation Stakes. Sprinters are spotlighted in the Commonwealth Cup, where Venetian Sun is a standout favorite among a field of 22 that includes Wesley Ward’s Outfielder, winner of Churchill Downs’ William Walker Stakes in May. Irish 1000 Guineas winner Precise is the odds-on choice in the Coronation for 3-year-old filly milers.

The Americans also will be in action the finale, the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Wesley Ward sends out Churchill turf sprint winner Bacio while George Weaver returns with Sandal’s Song, third in last year’s Norfolk at Royal Ascot.
