Anything you want to say about horse racing I suppose.

Welsh National tomorrow and I really fancy Cappa Bleu to be in the frame at 14-1.

Picking up from your previous post...Weird Al at 20-1 has to be a sure fire Each Way punt.

Dicky, the thought occurs...fancy a PH meet sometime in March? Somewhere near Gloucester per chance?

Anyone else interested? Tickets will be fking gold dust sowe need to get ourselves sorted asap if so. Ive possibly got an angle to get tickets outside the usual lines, but even so it would have to be sharpish work.

2-2...The Decider between the greatest Chaser of all time and the Young Pretender. Its going to be the most hyped and richest race in history.

Get in there.......Yippeeeee! Thanks to Paddy Powers guaranteed price policy My 14-1 bets ended up at 25-1 for Cappa Bleu

DJC. If I go to Cheltenham it's usually for the first day. This year at the moment is in the balance pending if my mate gets an entry with a horse he may be buying.

Meanwhile flushed with this weeks winnings I'm torn between Ruby Walsh on Noland @ 12-1 or McCoy on Synchronised @ 14-1 for tomorrows Lexus at Leopardstown. Each way of course.

Good winnings

[dickymint]

McCoy really done the business on Synchronised!

Seems that way DJ. But now I have a tidy pot built up this is where I get cocky

Got my eye on a nice fat each way double today at Kempton!!!

David Evans (local Trainer) is running Pale Orchid in the 4:50 Odds are 13-2
It's up against an odds on favourite though.

My brain tells me to double this up with Ron Harris' (another local) Faraway in the 5:20 but odds of only 9-4

Soooooooo out with the brain and I'm going to do Taaresh in the 5:50 at 20-1

A bookie bashing £175 for a quid each way I might retire if that comes in

[DJRC]

Probably pushing the odds a little bit too far there

Yep heavy loss on that one but the 11-1 each way on Pale Orchid made up the shortfall.

Overall today cost me £15

Onwards and upwards though. Just spotted a horse called Dicky Mint!!! running in the 4:10 at Wolverhampton tomorrow. Haven't got a clue if it stands a chance and no price available yet (but form reads ste) but it's only a 5 furlong race so anything can happen. My max bet (and quite rare) of £5 each way will be on it He who dares Rodders

PS. Come on PH no racing fans out there?
