Eyecatching run from Ciel De Neige there. Mr McLernon at his finest. The day is coming.

Hexham hold their usual Derby Day meeting on Saturday and their card contains the first juvenile hurdle race of the season, the aptly named "Most Important 3 Year Old Race Today Juvenile Hurdle". And its only £12 to get in if you book in advance or a tenner for us old gits. And all the usual...

This was my thread on my previous forum and i thought that rather than hijack other threads on here when i dip in and out of them, it might be better if i put my thoughts, musings, ponderings, reflections, cogitations etc etc etc on here. All welcome :)

Alqamar ninth but was not far off the leaders until after the second from home. The name of the game was to see if it was worth persevering with and it certainly is from my point of view. The extended trip was a concern and the drop back to 2m 6f or thereabouts will do it the world of good...

I love that line although the way my eyesight is going, i dont see that much these days. My missus reckons i only see what i want to see. :) Big priced horses in low grade handicaps. Manna from heaven.

Good stuff mate. The overpriced ones are out there EVERY day.

Couldnt agree more mate. It is each to their own as we always say but if anybody catches me going anywhere near a favourite they have my permission to cut my bollocks off. As i have said before on here and as everyone knew on the previous forum, i very,very rarely touch anything under 8/1 and...

Good luck with that one mate. I think this is the sort of thing you like. A bit of reminiscing on plots of old. I was looking at the decs for Cartmel on Wednesday and my old mate Dreal Deal has been declared. Who can forget the day they went for it at Navan. And with it being declared at...

To get back on track with the thread title, i have jotted down eight horses that i will be keeping a very close eye on in the betting later today and in their respective races tomorrow. Maybe if some are greatly overpriced i might indulge. I havent got the time or patience to list all eight but...

I havent listened to him since i started muting my telly but to me he was always a clueless individual. A "bluffer extraordinaire" i think the term is.

There are a few cracking handicaps there tomorrow and some old favourites and a few who have dropped a fair way down in the weights who will no doubt be winning (or going very close) soon. If i can sneak a big price on one or two of them and trade them i will. Otherwise, it looks a tricky card...

Absolutely spot on mate. :) And i used to shout at the telly when i used to have the sound on when he was there but they were words i would not want to repeat on here. The "old Grammar" is just the top bend to most of us. "Sevenacres" is just the bottom bend. "Passing the Sticky Toffee...

:) A story i have told many times when Cartmel crops up. The first time i went there, which would have been in the late 70's. it got to the third race before i actually clapped eyes on a horse. Those were the days when crowds of 25.000 were the norm, the days when dear old Emlyn Hughes was...

A small profit made but then again any profit is better than no profit at all. But i'm in one of my (many) cantankerous moods this morning and i have to repeat a rant i had on the previous forum i was on I havent had the sound on either racing channel for about six years now mainly because i...

Busy tomorrow but my sole focus will be on the betting and run of Dr Sanderson in the last at Cartmel. Have a good day tomorrow all.

Yes, but this horse opened at 20/1 and it was cut to 10/1 but that price didnt show blue. It was just as if it hadnt moved or if it was the first show. It was only when it was cut again to 8's that it showed as blue. It was as if the 20's hadnt existed (or they didnt want people to notice what...

What i have noticed a few times is that a price cut, especially a large one, doesnt show in blue when the new price is published. One of my mates brought it to my attention one day after i had sent the message out to get on a horse that had been priced up at 20/1. I had done the race and put it...

:( Oh dear. I havent looked at the site since they kicked me out a few days ago. I find the ATR site more than adequate.

:) Just like the last forum i was on, i will keep that to myself. I made that decision when i joined the last forum (Letsbet) because i had no doubt that there would be one or two people, maybe more, who had been closed or restricted or whatever by the firm and i didnt really want the hassle...

Dead right mate. As i said earlier, i didnt have a great deal to do with the marketing/advertising teams apart from a half hour meeting on a Monday morning to plan the week ahead and a quick check in with them just before they released the adverts with the race betting and offers. But in a...
