This Gibbons tale is probably a bit sadder than it appears at first glance. He has battled alcoholism in the past, and was even arrested at Wolverhampton races after riding a double having failed to turn up in court for drunk and disorderly charges. Was having an excellent winter and will be a...

A project I need to give up on. There can't be many more one-paced horses in training. Was over for him from a long way out from that position.

Couple of interesting meetings today and hoping the patient approach will pay off as waiting until the 7.15 at Kempton for my bet of the day and it's Sylvester Kirk's Percy Veer. This is a horse who has some solid efforts in some quite good staying races this season, notably his run when not...

Was put up by Hugh Taylor, so little chance of the early price holding up.

Thanks all, scraped home just about. Not really found much to go at at Wolves tomorrow but hopefully something will come up on Saturday's card.

Carole's Destrier goes for the Welsh National next, and really does look to have outstanding claims off his old mark, with the longer trip right up his street. Surprised he's still double figures to be honest.

I think we all are, hence the opening line!!

Fancied Harry Dunlop's in the maiden at 4.45 at Chelmsford tomorrow, went for a lie down, came back and still fancied it so thought I'd share my thoughts. Have been watching this horse closely in 2 runs since he tanked through his debut at Salisbury and on neither has he been seen to best...

Don't think you got much of a run for your money there Reet. Real poor ride from James O'Sullivan. Would certainly be keeping the faith, in particular back over shorter, think he has a cracking turn of foot on synthetics. Cool ride from Rawlinson on the winner whose mount saw it out well...

Cheers Flemenstar - that nursery was one I went round in circles in. Little doing for me - managed to get a bit of 3s about Good Run in the 2m race, but that's gone now. Will have to post on this thread a bit earlier in future! Interesting that the yard are bringing him back at this time of...

Well played Flemenstar with Dazacam. Had a few bets at Wolves tonight, but nothing that looks particularly great value at current odds. Cosmeapolitan might still be backable at around 11/4. Has shaped really well on his last 2 starts, particularly at Newmarket last time where the ride burst...

Winner was a complete unknown quantity but further proof that Palmer really has to be taken seriously with such animals. Nothing quite of that level today but a couple of races interest me at Chelmsford. The nursery at 4.55 sees the Prescott horse in at a short price, and while a reproduction...

Certainly read the market well Reet. Surprised it's a 9/4, 13/2 bar race, for all he's the one with fewest questions to answer.

Doesn't seem to be an appropriate thread to discuss some of the winter Flat stuff, so thought I'd start one and see if there's much interest. Thought the Wild Flower at Kempton on Wednesday is a belter, the sort of race you'd expect at HQ or Ascot on a Saturday afternoon rather than an evening...

Aftertimer! As you were folks.

He shoots, he scores. Nice work

One option is betting into the US pools direct. Betfair are certainly offering that option on today's meeting, so I'd expect that to be the same. Takes some finding, but it's available via the exchange site. All sports > Horse racing > USA > Tote USA. Then move away from the sidebar and select...

Ha ha. With regards your earlier enquiry about BOG. I imagine it won't take into account PMU odds. Merely if you take an early price, and the industry SP rather than local price is bigger, you'll get industry SP.

Think we should get a decent pace in the Mile with Photo Call and Midnight Storm in there whilst Tepin is likely to go forward and keep them honest. If it develops into a strongly-run race, then I can't imagine anything will finish any stronger than Ironicus (the grey in the vid). Worth checking...
