    Thanks chaps. I think most of my posts are reactive though, or seeking someone else's views, rather than much original thought!

    it doesn't matter..you take part..like you did today

    maybe as racing fans we should looking within not without to see why very few are interested in most of what racing has to offer

    You've inspired me to take a look at Newton Abbott and I've backed The Rattler Obrien in the 7.35.

    I've put this one up before, as has Martin (Irish Stamp). Connections seem to run it sparingly and only when they think it'll win.

    Well that went well! Still, horse owes me absolutely nothing and I backed SL at 7-4 yesterday to win the cricket so it's not all bad.

    Stick to the day job and let you boys pick the horses I reckon!

    It was while Mathews was batting, lead was about 300. Crazy price.

    When England were 30-0 SL touched 2-1; I was so tempted to have a massive bet but resisted. In many ways I'm glad I did as it would've been squeaky bum time yesterday!

    Balducci (4.10 Carl) was a revelation in the first-time visor last week, and had them on the stretch from some way out. Stiffer task here, but still 5lb below his new rating, and 12lb less than he was running off last year..

    Anyone else been loading up on the 14/1 about Angel Gabrial for the Plate which has now sadly gone? I expected 8/1 on Monday so he's still a bit of value at 10s.

    Don't back many jumpers but have been following the progress of the one eyed Fade to Grey this year back after an absence and always seems to run well at Worcester, looks a decent price for an EW bet.

    Kirtling belle 2.40 at Carlisle
    Ran well over 6 here last week coming with what looked like a strong run down the outside but just flattening out into 6th
    Back to 5 and back in his own age group he can take this.

    Geordie George win at Ripon came as abit of a suprise. He was settled at the back and for much of the way it looked like Philip Makin was content just to give the horse a bit of experience. The 3 leaders including the hot fav had put distance between themsleves and the rest but as the race developed without asking a question Geordie George looked like he could run into a place. Makin decided to have ago and the horse picked up and looked like he might finsh second at best until Makin gave him 2 hard back handers and the horse in a matter of strides swept past the fav....he did idle a bit but after another crack with the whip he went well clear winning by 5 lengths. The fav looked to be all over the winner and actually put a bit more distance between himself and the 3rd so he wasn't exactly stopping.

    That race was on heavy going and today he races on G/F but he doesn't have the type of action that would indicate soft ground is a must.

    He has to give 3lbs and 7lbs to Vimy Ridge and Aktabantay but if he acts on the ground he could upset the likely odds on fav Aktabantay.

    A little 6/1 was available earlier so I'll be backing Georgie George EW

    John Quinn has a few runners today apart from Geordie George and sends Fantasy Gladiator to Yarmouth. It's nothing unusal for him to go there he's ran there several times in the past for him and his previous trainer

    He landed a good punt when he won this race last year and todays race doen't look that much better. That was after a long break as he has had today and that might be just what he's needed to get his head back in front.

    He races of a higher mark this year but the handicapper lump him up to 79 after he won at Wolverhampton but he's since dropped him to todays mark which should be enough to see him go close.

    Fantasy Gladiator 6/1 ew looks a fair bet

    I know I have unsuccessfully tipped Cono Zur before but surely must get its annual win or 2 soon.Down to a very low mark,ground in its favour and at least the jockey has won before.
    Also entered at Ponte Monday so would run without a penalty if it wins the apprentice race,the last at Carlisle

    Sticking with Frontline Phantom today, just touched off for a 24 hr double last week, better apprentice jockey C Hardie outrode inexperienced P Sword in the finish in a slowly run race, todays distance should suit better.

    Didn't have a bet in the race but in my honest opinion change jockeys on the first two and you change the result.

    I'm not one for jockey bashing but WTD is a liability in my opinion.I always have it in my mind that he is only riding on the flat to facilitate his brothers career.Anyone know his p&l figures for the year.
