The Will Win Thread

Leadman is a well handicapped horse housed in a tool's stable. And the prick still has him in the last tomorrow that I've got one in (not this for this thread, I don't want Slim's wrath) and I thought I'd be rule 4'd but the price has gone so maybe not.
 
Soumi just bossed that didn't he? I was hoping that Nighttime would have been closer and given him a race but he just sat back too long. Should have done a FC...!
 
Great stuff Slim, and a nice double prospect with Luke’s selection later on.
Really appreciate the generosity of your posts as many others no doubt do.
Let’s hope Luke remains on this thread 😀
 
Zarigana 4:25 Longchamp Sunday.Connections were bemused after she threw away the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.Has been given time off to mature and this is the plan.I've seen 11/2 with Ladbrokes but I don't bet with them.

It was some punt. Hard luck.
 
She doesn't look the most enthusiastic of runners to be fair. That head comes up when she is put under pressure quite quickly.
 
Wayne Lordan was on the right O'Brien horse ( Light as Air )
Saratoga came 5th
Shame as I thought Slim was going to give us the winner
 
All joking aside, since feeling I understand a bit more now about what Slim's about, I'm actually always gutted for him when one of these gets beat.

Everyone wants to win, Slim NEEDS to win - no one will be more annoyed than him, I suspect.

It certainly got well bet.

No doubt Slims always genuine with selections Ian. However it is a choice to be a pro gambler over actually just getting a job. He's obviously done alright out of it if he's survived this long and realistically he's lived the dream for a number of years doing what he loves, not many get to do that in life in general , not a lot of people have the bollocks to chase their dream or just do something they love for a living. So on the whole its something I respect greatly but truth be told it's always a choice and worst comes to worst for a pro gambler they can always revert to paying their bills the same as the rest of us working shitty jobs we hate.

The only time I ever felt bad for him was when Benie fell at the last in the Mares a few years back because that was just uncalled for. The rest of the time im just a bit envious as didnt have the balls myself when I had a chance to go to another level.
