The films I enjoy are lucky to see a week at my local cinema. I went to see The Skin I Live In at my local Cineworld. There were about 8 people in the showing and it was gone within a week. An amazing film that deserves a better audience but they are all busy watching the latest crap served up...

Easter Sky ran at Redcar on Monday and came 2nd. Sheriff Of Nawton ran yesterday and won after a big plunge in the betting. My friend is in the syndicate that own it and they were told they expected at least a place off the current mark. We both got on at 10-1 the night before but it got punted...

I saw it earlier this week and wasn't really sure what to make of it. I didn't love it but I didn't dislike it either. I can't see it being that popular at the cinema, most mainstream stuff seems to be all action and no storyline. I don't mind this minimalist sort of film and I think it's a...

It's an opportunity for the neanderthals to post shite all over facebook like "England for the english". The facebook philosophers out in force on St Georges Day with their thinly veiled racism packaged as patriotism. :mad:

It could have been a good programme but ended up looking like a documentary on some kind of community service. I felt sorry for the kids because when you saw their parents you knew they were up against it.

Bets with the refunded stake offers are supposed to be settled within 12 hours. They've settled my losing ones as losers but not done the refund part of the bet. They settled my ante post GN ones within about 2 hours.

I'm not sure how much got shown on TV as I was there at the course and haven't seen any TV footage but as they were parading for the Grand National it became a bit farcical in the parade ring. There were too many horses in at once and a few were getting worked up. Triolo D'Alene was one of them...

I've seen 3 films over the weekend. Muppets Most Wanted was great, even though I took my 7 yr old I loved it, great childhood memories of Kermit and the gang and worth a watch. I saw Non Stop on Monday and thought it was poor, ending was a bit ridiculous and these Neeson films are getting a bit...

If any of you have a local Cineworld the Unlimited card they do is great value. £15 a month but see as many films as you want whenever you want. Discount on food and drink and access to preview screenings. I'm off to see The Raid 2 Preview Screening on Monday night. Discount on food and drink...

Apologies. I haven't posted any daily bets before. Do they go in the "What are you backing today" thread then instead of this one?

Doncaster 1.30pm - I hate sprints and I don't like 2 yr old races, might leave this alone but interested to see how Escalating runs under Queally. 2.05pm - Got the race to 3 which are Fencing, Graphic and Guest Of Honour. Gone with Graphic and Guest Of Honour in a reverse forecast and backed...

Went there this morning with a friend of mine that is in the Direct Racing Syndicate. This link should work, even if you don't have facebook: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151905560531793.1073741827.707226792&type=1&l=a6ad2126c4 Bit of info too: Balducci - supposed to be a...

Interesting that you mention the rule 4 deductions Luke as no one seems interested in dealing with it. Bookies are shortening non runners after they are declared non runners to move the rule 4 in their favour but try getting anyone to address it. Seems to be a 15 minute window or so to lower the...

Might not be the best example as they are often closer than this, literally right at the side of the fence snapping away. The rail is to the left of the fence (as they jump it) so if a horse is to refuse or run out it is likely to go to the right of the fence. If a horse is pulled up it will...

If it had been brought up as a safety issue would they still be allowed to stand there? Maybe it has been raised and they choose to ignore it at their own risk. If that's the case they can't complain when they get trampled.

Thinking of going there for the Brigadier Gerard Thursday evening meeting later in the year. Wetherby is quite good as you can get close to the last hurdle and the last fence. You just need to hope the pesky course photographers keep out of the way. They actually get too close to the horses and...

He was very good in this film. It's available to buy on play.com and is fairly cheap. I got the Blu Ray for less than a tenner.

I tried to join this mini league but entries were already closed on the official Telegraph site. I would have been 4th in this, finished with 1199 points. I changed my last selection 5 mins before the off to the Gigginstown runner and already had Davy Russell as one of my jockeys. :) Do you...

Right: Hurricane Fly and Big Bucks. Felt it could be the passing of the baton to younger horses in both races and so it proved. O'Faolains Boy. Backed this ante post but then saw it flop at Haydock. Can always forgive a horse one bad run and confidence boosted when winning before the festival...

I watched a film called The Hunt last night, it's Danish with English subtitles. It's about a little lie that gets out of hand and an innocent man is accused of being a sex offender. It soon turns into a witch hunt and looks at how it impacts on his relationships with his girlfriend, son and the...
