    Hi to all

    Hi to all TH posters, I haven't posted for ages, health issues. Had many good times on here then made a real bad mistake of judgement. Regrets which I have made before. I hope some can forgive what happened with Roger who I know is so missed. I messed up bad. Hope you are all ok out there. The...

    Do you remember your first visit to a racecourse?

    The first time I ever went to a racecourse after watching racing for about 10 years was to York with a work mate in I think 1984, Thursday of the Ebor meeting. After 10 years of backing horses, and only really seeing races on the TV at weekends or special mid week stuff, because betting shops...

    How much of a mess is the UK in?

    I've personally never felt or have seen this country in a such a mess. I hate the tories since I lived through the miners strike on a miners estate in the 80s. I feel though that even that oppression was preferable to the utter incompetence of this, probably the worst government ever. I doubt...

    How many times have you thought, I have had enough of this game.

    I am talking about betting on horses alone and having a bad spell, and thinking, can't do this any more. For me it must be 100s through the last 40 years. I often wonder how reslilient backers of horses are, they must be very resilient to start again after thinking .. f**k this. Or is it just...

    Anti Post Betting

    Thought I would carry this from the what are you betting thread. Think it is worth a chat about. I know you love your ante post Euro, as do many on here, but it is so risky compared to actually looking at racing each day and knowing the conditions on the day and the oppo surely? I admit I have...

    Constitution Hill to be aimed at the Chester Cup

    Nicky Henderson has said his Champion Hurdle winner Constitution Hill will have a flat campaign after Aintree. Nicky said, "he is that good, we have to take in the Chester Cup, he is so well handicapped" A tilt at the Ascot Gold Cup is also not being ruled out.

    Our pets

    Sadly at the moment my girl cat is not well. She has hyperthyroidism, which basically means medicating just to reduce further decline, but at same time that medication can cause kidney problems. She is now about 17. We got her when she was about 5, she had never seen another cat, hated the...

    A v B

    Do any of you play on this? I only use Betfair so I don't know what bookies have regarding this. I quite like this way of betting. I use a few criterion and only play on certain races where I think I have an edge.

    Cheltenham Memories

    Here we are again, the best meeting of the year, and I am a lover of flat and NH, but this meeting is the boy. I go back to the mid 70s with my memories of it, and, as I recently found out, lots of you guys are old like me;) I just wonder, what is the highlight, or highlights from the last 50...

    I was watching racing the other day and....

    Right, some of you will laugh at this, in fact I laughed at myself at the start when I started watching it. This is a Flat "tell" by the way, sorry Grass, Granger and co. There are so many racing connected people on here. So, here is my first question before I go much further with the angle I...

    Hard work is the only way at this game

    At one time a few years ago, I had an edge on the AW, I daily sectional timed races before those type of figures were talked about. Those days are long gone now. I posted a lot of winners up at that time on here 2015/16. After a while though I realised that the time I spent each day doing that...

    Is this the 1960s again?

    Ok, I have thought about this post for a while. I know a lot of you are older than me so you might well recognise what I am putting down here. I was born in 1956. When I was 4 we moved to Rugby into a bungalow in a nice part of Rugby, Warren Road, you can google it, we lived at number 29, it was...

    Gambling Stables

    As soon as someone reads that, that knows anything about racing, is ....oh fook.. another gambling stable post. So many words have been written about this. Firstly, any smaller trainer starting out has to be good at this, or they don't get off step one on the ladder. There are exceptions to...

    This Forum

    Is still the best. I fooked up a few years ago on here. I regret that. I went through a bad time, had a breakdown. I'm very sorry to hear about Diamond Geezer, very sorry. It was my jibe at him that lost me my membership on here, well it didn't because I banned myself. I so very regret that...
