Garo de Juilly was tipped up on racing radio last night so I backed it straight away. Was it scratched from a Cheltenham race or is my memory playing tricks again?

Thanks for the reminder of Cliffs of Dover that is actually a 'cliff' horse of mine. I've just backed Kalabaloo in the Foxhunters at 125/1 because I assume Gina Andrews is another of the Andrews...

I follow the Kirbys horses blind but didn't back it when it drifted out to 200's. Pleased for them because they sadly lost a horse on the gallops yesterday.

She's had some good horses over the years; remember Teaforthree and Irish Cavalier, who was a bit of a giant killer. [giant slayer I mean...]

Just remembered that Rebecca Curtis had form in the stayers, having brought At Fishers Cross back to place at a huge price. I'd backed one of hers earlier thinking it was time she won...

Lots of form lines with Ronald Pump....

I backed Kilbricken Storm a while back. Was one of several horses that someone in a racing club I'm a member of said was running off it's last winning mark [or something like that anyway....]. Hang...

Sorry; I backed her the other day which means she has no chance whatsoever [I'm having a really bad week....you know, the sort where, if a horse you've backed falls it brings down or seriously...

Some big priced placed horses going in in some of those Irish handicap hurdles with loads of runners at the moment. Some paying out first 5. I'm having a bit of fun backing market movers in them.

I've backed Little Bruce for the Cross Country at 33/1. I know he's up against Tiger Roll but he stays forever and he had a spin over the fences the other day. Only tiny but brave as they come.

Many Clouds was technically still a 7 year old when he won. However, when a horse that is regarded officially as a 7 year old wins the National I'll definitely give up punting it. Then again, the...

I was very impressed with him on Saturday but seems a bit young for the National. Did check out his trainer though, having noticed he has a 33% strike rate at the moment.

I have an embarrassing number of bets on the National, so it's not uncommon or very clever of me to have the winner. However, as I bet on the race for ages before it's actually run the winner is...

Thanks; turned round what has been a disastrous day, betting wise, for me !

Hate to say this but I'm on that one [sorry; kiss of death with my recent betting history....]

Thanks for mentioning Concertista; just the sort of 'why is it running' horse that I like to back [eg Jaqueline Quest in the 1000]. Have had so many big priced seconds that it's probably my fault...

I always back Man of Plenty. One of my favourites these days.

Dingo Dollar is the King stable top eyecatcher in my Jumping Prospects book. Trainer says he 'doesn't want it too soft and will have an entry in the Ladbroke'.

Just arrived home and looked at the result. Think I only got 16's in the end but I bet it would have been shorter if I'd waited till today. Also tipped it to a friend so got a bit of kudos also! I...

Thanks Marb; I'm out all day tomorrow and was just looking at the race with a view to placing my bets tomorrow before I go out, and Niietzsche was one of the 4 I planned to back Deyrann de Carjac,...

A lot of pundits in Australia seem to be mentioning Zakarda because of the torrential rain; 150/1 I think [just going to check]. Can't see it myself but can't ignore it either. Bit worried about the...

Well done!
