The "wheelie bin" part of that struck a nerve. I was told time and time again before i got my own betting shop to never give credit. You not only lose the money when they fail to pay, you also possibly lose a "friend" and you also lose a punter. Did i listen ??? Did i hell !!!! :( I...

The second race at Perth tomorrow, the 3.08, looks very interesting and the one i am looking at is far shorter on my tissue than the forecast price on ATR. If the guessers go the same price (or thereabouts) as the forecast i may just have a few shekels on. Fourofakind won this race last year...

Quote - "the real work is cutting out all the bullshit on podcasts and X" Quote - "Betting has always had its misconception economy. Dont buy into it. Dont repeat cliches you have heard in the pub or on a forum". If only they would listen mate !!!!!!!! There are far more knowledgeable people...

You are possibly correct. And i was a big fan of Brave Inca and he did me a few good turns. I dont think it is possible to compare eras in any sport although many try to do it with football. But we can all have our favourites and for me, the Night Nurse, Sea Pigeon, Monksfield, Birds Nest...

Totally agree about the Willie Mullins domination but as someone who only concentrates on the lower grade chases and hurdle events, it doesnt affect me.

We all have our likes and we all have our dislikes. We are all different and we have our differing opinions. And if we have an edge in one part of this game but not in another, it would be mad not to concentrate solely on the positive part. I am National hunt thru and thru. I just cant...

The clowns with the "Road To Cheltenham" (shouldnt that be the road to Benidorm and the Costas now ??? ) will be along in a few weeks and as has been mentioned, podcasts aplenty will be popping up to focus on the only meeting of the jump season. What morons !!!!!! I can guarantee that the...

I second that !!!

I dont hold out much hope for Warwick on Tuesday either mate. Two of the h'cap chases only have eight entries so they look non starters already. And only twelve in the mares h'cap hurdle so fingers crossed for that one.

It says forty on the quote you have copied :LOL: But to be fair my friend, i did write thirty (dont ask me why, i havent got a clue) and changed it within thirty seconds. You were very quick off the mark. Almost as quick as Dancing Brave. :)

A bit of useless information for you. On this raceday forty years ago i was at Beverley with a mate who had a runner. And in between races we would watch the racing from Sandown. And we watched a two year old make his debut and win very easily indeed. Dancing Brave. :)

As soon as i saw the field sizes i knew i wasnt having a bet. I obviously had a quick look thru the races but a bet was never gonna happen. I was watching the decs tracking and was actually surprised there were 35 declared. It wasnt looking good around 9.30. And i'm not massively hopeful for...

35 declared for the six races at Newton Abbot on Friday Andy. An absolute shambles. And thats before any non runners of which there will no doubt be one or two. I was very surprised to see that Jimmy Moffatt has sent a couple down to track where he has definitely never visited before. And...

Didnt Chandlers stop taking Lucky 15's for a period a few years ago because someone had the audacity to win big with one ?

With regards to your second question Danny, maybe someone can enlighten me/us on how things stand now with Hills. (Or any other firm who do or used to do similar). What i mean is, i had gone thru a race for the Monday and was in town on a Sunday lunchtime. Hills were 7/1 about a horse which i...

Great stuff Grey. I remember the horse and for a specific reason. There was a young lady who worked for another betting company who i had spoken to a few times and i'm certain she had a share in it as well. No names on this forum but her initials were DH.

I will admit to acting (very) selfishly whenever Towcester was on back in my working days. When we were dishing up the "who does which meeting" for the following day, i always made sure that i did Towcester. It was the number one track for knowing which horses would act round there and those...

Kevin Bishop. The horse went on to finish second to that brilliant grey, Suny Bay, at Ascot the following month.

Nice to read some happy memories of the course from some people on here. Now here is the other side of this wonderful game :(:mad: I had watched a horse win a race at Worcester one day only for it to be disqualified because the jockey (Rodi Greene) had weighed in light. I hadnt had a bet in...

Can I be the first person to remind everyone that Towcester is uphill all the way round.
