    A fellow member kindly pointed out a horse I had noted in running Triple Trade reappears today.

    He seemed to blow up last time but then got his second wind and ran on well to regain 3rd.

    Colin Tizard has given him 6 weeks to get over it and there has been a few quid for him.

    Would have expected him to be out sooner so I'll be a bit cautious and back him EW 2 places as I want to keep my powder dry to back Rich Ricci's latest purchase on Thursday
    Triple Trade and Goshen both winning bets.....another few quid in the pot for Cheltenham

    Well I’ve never ridden a racehorse but I find it hard to believe the jockey was holding on to nothing given the lack of pace

    So much for getting a price on Mercurey Ricci has just made it public knowledge on the racing post that they think the world of them

    Only wanted evens but my bro already got a knock back for 250 NRNB from his bookie in Paisley so he looks like he thinks he could be opening odds on.....

    There will be some loonies who will lay him at odds against on betfair for the odd tenner but I can't see any decent money being matched now.

    Re-Bass Rock.

    There's a handicap hurdle at Sandown in late January or early February called the heroes handicap hurdle over a furlong and a half shorter, (2M7F).

    He looks quite a small horse so I reckon a speedier track like Sandown over a slightly shorter trip could turn out to be his optimum conditions.
    Hopefully after his near two month break Bass Rock will be entered up in this race at Sandown when the entries come out in the next week.

    Huntingdon Friday 3.10 (Pertemps Qualifier) - Bells Of Peterboro 100/30 - I think this is a one-horse race. I’ve taken the price and will keep taking any price down to 2/1. I’m not into short-shots at the best of times, especially in handicaps, but I was deeply impressed with this one’s recent win. It will almost certainly need to go up the ratings to be sure of making the cut for the final so I reckon it will be trying, which is the main thing. Last year 126 made the cut but that was very much the exception due to the fewer Irish and social runners. I reckon this year it will be back up to the mid-130s so the selection will probably need to go up at least 7lbs. To do that he needs to win impressively. I just feel a bit frustrated that it doesn't figure in the ante-post market for the final as I'd want to have it onside ahead of this run.

    Someone put up 250 quid at 1.66 on Mercurey which was snatched up more or less immediately.

    Doesn't look like evens is going to be possible So unless someone has a rush of blood to the head I'll just be watching today.

    I never planned to have a bet but certain member have got right up my nose for backing horses at short prices,

    Well fook them because IMO they post the biggest pile of shyte in the forms history continously losing day after day.

    I reckon there's a cracking 6/4 double today if you box clever on Betfair that looks unbeatable at Gowran Park the W P Mullins pair Klassical Dream and Merurey
    The first looks like a steering job and the way Petrick talks about the latter he's past the post already.

    Best not to run down any other forum members like that, Fist.

    You and I can have a ding-dong and not fall out about it, but others may view things differently. Best to just focus on the racing.

    Actually my heart goes out to some posters who take it all too seriously

    as they spend hour after hour working out times ratings future races they are enterd for the betting markets etc etc.

    What amazes me is they are so wrapped up in themselves they actually believe they are some kind of expert. despite losing their balls betting.

    95% or more of punters end up losing and that includes us...I just try to stack the odds in my favour and over the years have been very careful
    on what I end up backing as my get out winners. I always seem to find one or two that bail me out but anyone who thinks they can put up dozens of ante post selection
    and expect to end up winning has a screw lose......ok they can say I only do it for fun but to me the fun is feeding my family well and in winning not losing.
