If Kings Socks had stood up he wouldn't have been out of the first three. He just made that one mistake, which is all it takes to end your chance. It looked to me like a combination between wanting...

Oh dear old Kings Socks. What would have happened if he had stood up at that fence. Fair play to the horse. He was trying.
The 1:50 was a great race to watch. My fancy Royal Vacation has run a huge race, which probably would have been enough to win 9/10 renewals. Coneygree back in third, with a back-to-form winner in the...
Yes. Might Bite. That was it.
Best of luck, Double. My fancy for the first chase on the television tomorrow is Royal Vacation, who caught my eye on Boxing Day at Kempton just under two years ago. Something fell at the last, (the...
Kings Socks declared. First time tongue tie and first run after a wind op. A toss up between him and Mister Whitaker for me but I won't be betting much in any event.
Re - Rather Be & Mister Whitaker. Tigger's and Euro might turn out to be right. I have a soft spot for Mister Whitaker as I won on him last March, so I'd prefer to see him win. I still can't get my...
Cheers, DG. What about Cobra De Mai?
Kings Socks is one I have my eye on for this weekend, hopefully for the Chase on Friday. He is still only a six year old and was far from disgraced in fifth place at The Festival before falling at...
Mister Whitaker my strongest fancy. He is a worthy favourite. I hope he runs well. At a much bigger price, I am considering the Skelton horse Cobra De Mai. His strike rate over fences is 5/11 which...
Forgot he was actually running today, won nicely I see.
Sorries, rant over. :)
Cracking down on them the best thing the Tory government have done in office for sure.
Fixed odds machines with a built in mathmatical edge, alledgedly throwing 'random' numbers. This was a recipe for printing money by the truck load. This very concept is like playing the lottery, then...
What odds they start buying up Islands far far away, with their profits, name them 'Ladbrokes Island', then turn them into new Nevada's.
Yeah Ladbrokes and others have won enough off those FOBT machines to sponsor many races for a very long time! What year did they actually start putting those things in high street shops? The year...
Good point. I have a sneaky suspicion they might go for The Hennessy, as from watching Mister Whitakers races I reckon he could be an even better horse stepped up in trip. He is about twice the price...
Splash Of Ginge wasn't it? I mentioned him three weeks before as an anti post possible fancy for The Bet Victor, but he ran a shocker at Wetherby I think was, a few weeks before winning this race....
I really liked the way Mister Whitaker nosed his head in front to beat Rather Be at the festival, after a less than smooth run. Rather Be is technically better off for this, but ultimately he was...
