Well done, Marble and Reet.

Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......
Well done, chaps.
7.20 Kempton
Khatiba - been waiting on this one running again..they haven't dicked about with a distance switch which is nice..up in class ...but last time showed its a class 3 horse with a very quick final 3f time..has about 7lb in hand here even with the rating raise.
3.75 taken
Musselburgh 1:00 - DHAULAR DHAR won his only hurdle race September last year off a three stone higher rating. The old timer hasn't been in bad form on the flat lately, he is clearly leniently treated because of his old age but doesn't seem to be running like a horse in decline. He's one of the better bets of the day.
Put him in an e/w double with ANNAROE (TOW 1:10) who ran with credit last time at Fontwell when second and who can hopefully capitalise today with Adam Wedge on board. She didn't travel well that day so the visor may help in that regard.

Apologies if anyone followed me in both ran poor races
Shine a Diamond looks a good bet at 6/5 in the 2.00 at Musselburgh.
Doubts about all rivals, should be odds on.

Solar Deity ticks plenty of boxes in the 7:40. Botti right in form, 40 % strike rate with Martin Harley, Solar Deity has proven form which is head and shoulders above the rest.
He's well worth a mark of 104 and I think he's a 13/8 chance myself, so am surprised their holding out at the current price. I'm sure something will challenge him at the business end but I'm happy to take my chance that his head will be in front on the line!

Aye Reet, its been a shite day for me. Yesterday I had a good double at Warwick up, (the only annoyance was the bookies I placed the bet sent me around three different shops to collect my winnings, which meant I missed backing another winner in the evening, that I'd planned to do when collecting the double).
If it's not incompetence its fecking negligence! You can't rely on the Muppets to even pay out a 4 figure sum these days. No wonder no one bothers going in apart from £2 merchants.
Oh....I didn't mention the fact that unfortunately they didn't have a price on the well backed Nicholls horse in the bumper yesterday (one of my winners on the double), meaning I had to settle for SP (11/4) when I should have got 6/1 as I put the bet first thing the shop opened, (cost me 4 figures alone that did).
I'm still not sure if they didn't have the prices at that specific time or just more incompetence/negligence. They did have 6's when I checked on my phone a half hour later, but I was leaving the town then and wasn't really expecting to land the double (nor did I realise how well backed the Nicholls horse would be), so didn't say anything or head back.
Today is one to forget - No excuses.. apart from Solar Deity was looking around a bit before the start and looked to be thinking a bit too much.

Had a very similar experience myself yesterday, Marb, but fortunately I'd written he price on the slip. Offered to pay me at sp, but I wasn't having any, and I know the ropes a darn sight better than the staff in that shop did, so it was eventually sorted in my favour.
Re Solar Deity; didn't look as if he was off at all today. Right horse (imo) just the wrong race, and that happens to us all.
True. The biggest wind up of the saga yesterday was when going back to the first shop where I'd placed the bet to collect my winnings, the same lady who had told me there was no prices yet for that race earlier, tells me I should have taken the price! I'm like..'do you not remember me asking you for it?!'
You couldn't make it up, sorry if your reading in love, nothing personal.
