    Talked myself out of it in the end. I'm going through a period where I'm forcing myself to be more selective and leave potential bets alone - my turnover was getting a bit high. Will have to accept 'missed' winners as part of that I suppose.

    Well done with the lay though EC!

    Have to give a very good chance to Kakapuka 4.30B, did us a huge favour on the AW in Feb and appears on a winning mark again. Ran well at Chepstow to be 3rd as i think track is too stiff for him, but firmer ground will suit him better. 7/2 seems fair imo.
    Ocean Legend is up 5lbs and also loses jockeys allow 5lbs. Think that Just Isla is the most likely danger, 1 length behind Kakapuka at Chepstow on reappearance and 1lb better in.

    Know what you mean, but most of the forums are very quiet outside of the big festivals, even the bf forum has very few posters these days especially of a night when the world cups on. The viewers who only read should grow a pair and give some input, it's only your own views on a race after all, nobody forces you to back/lay them!

    i find it ironic we have a thread on here talking about the popularity of racing..and on a forum dedicated to enthusiasts there is hardly anyone on here with a pick each day

    Everyone's intimidated by your superb record chaps!

    Seriously I'd love to contribute more but I work 50plus hours a week and have a 9 month old son - not much time for form study. Usually midweek I'll only look at a race if something gives me a reason to (for example one of you boys puts something up). This especially applies to the flat where I have less interest.

    Think most enthusiasts aren't keen on low level racing EC1, rather talk about Frankel and Kingman and the like, but for me a class 6 winners as good as a Grade 1 winner at the same price.
    Just got nutted again, like Snow Bay yesterday, traded 1.3 IR, suprised it drifted like it did though.

    Work does tend to get in the way Benny, but have to pay the bills 1st!
    Anyway you do contribute quite regularly.

    you are probably right

    i agree..low grade is just the same as high grade re getting winners..plenty of big prices at Ascot last week...same priced winners as there on the AW get outcry though

    Seems like it's just the three of us today. Anyone fancy anything later or can I switch off for the day?!
