Mr Whatoxo is obviously Danny Hall in disguise.

Audience has now drifted to 20/1 so I've gone in at the price. On a going day he will be hard to peg back.

All my bets are on now so these are my thoughts on the races I've bet in bar the Ebor which is on that thread. 1.50 - I’ve taken 11/2 Bullet Point. He’s only got three lengths on my figures to find with King’s Gambit but he showed he was still improving on Thursday, won with a bit in hand and...

Yes, I have sickness insurance on it after last time. I was about to post it when I saw you'd got there first.

Hipop De Loire is rated as having dead-heated with Magical Zoe last year and was definitely seriously hampered on his way through. He might even have won so is the one to beat here off 3lbs higher. Keane rode him last year and I imagine will be riding him to avoid the kind of trip he got that...

Ebor - Yashin has just hit 100/1 (6 pl) with Bet365 so I've taken a wee bit of that. I was happy to take 50s yesterday but didn't see any money for it so decided to hold off until this morning for a drift and BOGs. The drift is probably a negative but I tend not to let things like that put me...

Money for it apparently so hopes rise...

Probably pretty much anywhere on the continent. And yes, I have had a perfectly nice 'large' San Miguel in McDonalds in Benidorm. Or two or three. Or five or six...

I've taken 16/1 Mudbir for the Cambridgeshire ahead of its race at Goodwood tomorrow (which I've also backed it to win). . It’s been brought back from a mile to this 7f trip the last twice but its breeding and striding are screaming 10f so this might be their way of picking up nice money en...

Yes, I did get 125/1 Aint Nobody to add to the place return on Frost At Dawn so losses on the day are light again.

I've taken 11/2 Bullet Point for the Strensall. He’s only got three lengths on my figures to find with [top-rated] King’s Gambit but he showed he was still improving yesterday, won with a bit in hand and looks likely to be suited by this near-furlong extra on striding data. He was heavily backed...

On the odd occasion I went on holiday on my own (I was on holiday, Mrs O working, since were with different authorities) I wasn't averse to popping into McDonalds because you could get a massive Diet Cola (no ice) for a fraction of what a normal bottle cost in a cafe or bar. As you say, air-con...

Another quiet day for me today. BOs are as they were at the time of compilation on Wednesday. Th-th-th-that's all, folks...

That one is called Da Nonna Pepa (I think) and it's pretty much next door to the Carmen Thyssen museum. There's another I haven't tried yet (because Mrs O couldn't find it despite trudging around the area for half an hour) but Mrs O and Orchidette ate there a couple of years ago and thought it...

I lived in Bordeaux from September 1976 to June 1977 and kept putting off going up to Paris, happy just to have passed through it en route south. I eventually decided some time in April it was maybe something I'd regret later in life so I decided I had to give it at least one weekend, either to...

I did my figures for the race last night and have emerged al the more hopeful that Shadow Dance can win. I really do think they have not messed about with this horse at all and it might end up another of these mega-handicaps that are won by a heavily backed hotpot, ie Shadow Dance. Over the...

British people eat at McDonalds abroad because: a) they're getting the same shite they eat at McDonalds at home b) it's cheap c) they don't trust anything or anyone foreign Mrs O and I popped into one of our favourite restaurants in Malaga city centre last week. An Italian restaurant in a...

A very nice run by Estrange there given the ground. Maybe somebody with an eye for it will say if she looked as though she wasn't letting herself down once the race got serious but she will almost certainly improve for the run and a bit of juice in the ground. Edit - Tudhope not using the...
