    Welcome
    Just so you know I wasn't ignoring you, I did reply to your email a week ago but it must have gone in your junk mail or something, when you emailed yesterday I just activated the account as presumed you weren't getting the emails

    'ello all. I did a google for racing forums after Cheltenham and this place may have been the least strange (in terms of access) of the lot, while having a decent community. Typical of horsey people though, everything their own way.

    About once a year I become interested in a big festival, have a few drinks, have a few bets, then fall away once it's over. Seeing as I've tried every other hobby under the sun I figured I'd have a go at keeping this one up, so I'll see if it lasts. I used to ride as a kid, and my first bets were as a eight/nine/ten year old putting fifty p each way on a horse at a Point to Point, mostly losing my can of coke money. Not much seems to have changed since then, including stake size although betting frequency has probably increased. Also, there's fewer grown ups likely to take pity on me and hand me another pound for sweets. I fell out of horses (ponies) when I was, very rudely I have to say, told I was expected to look after them as well. This included mucking out, cleaning the tack, saddling them myself, giving them a brush after, and absolutely far too much work for not enough fun for a grouchy soon-to-be teenager.

    Like I said, I've kept up my losing ways, but I've been doing a lot of reading over the past two weeks. I've a growing spreadsheet at this point, that I'm putting into an SQL database for potential future use. I might post my uninspired picks, if I can find the right thread. Be gentle, and don't say I didn't warn you on the likely outcome.

    Hi Fifty P, and welcome to the forum. There’s no finer sport, and there’s a good bunch of people on here to chew the fat with, so don’t feel shy airing your views or asking for advice.
