I saw this aswell. I hope Martator can run into a place, I'd be happy enough with that. A win would be even better, but I fear a few of the others, and feel it's what turns up on the day, sort of thing, hence I'm not seriously confident.

I wanted to prove I had balls once so had 500 pounds win on a 4/1 shot in a local Coral shop. The horse won. I got paid out in a brown envelope the next day. No questions asked. No answers given. That was about 2009. Nowadays I'd probably be given a psychological evaluation not to mention a...

Aye cheers thought he might win for a bit but happy with some place returns.

I'm sure no one will like this post, as I'm just stating the blindingly obvious, but longshots don't all have to win either! Placed returns are good returns.

Re-long losing runs, I can only speak for myself, but I assume from reading Maurice's contributions, that this also applies to him, that longshots and just part of the wider portfolio, Wals. Yes, I can lose on a few longshots but still turn in profit on other things, let's say on one of Ian's...

I've a hunch a bookmaker losing however minimal an amount qualifies as being 'absolutely filled in' these days.

I think Melon is drifting to too big a price in the 1.15 and am happy to back it at these odds. He's won twice after a break, has his first start this season, and is open to plenty of improvement, especially if he learns to settle down, not racing overly keen. I shall not let this drift put...

Pedantry alert, is it still November? 😂😂

The trainer who uses Jackdaws Castle, Jonjo O Neill, was once described to me on the Neigh Forum many years ago as being the biggest gangster in Irish racing. That takes some doing.

The only honest thing I can say about money, is that I'm glad I haven't had any hungry stomachs to feed other than my own these past 40 years. 😂😁👍

It's old news and certainly very little to do with whether he can get a winner. This stuff goes on everyday, all day, all over the world anyway, it's pretty run of the mill stuff to people involved in high finance.

Err, answer, yes. He's also apparantly quite close the bloke who runs Coolmore stud in Ireland. They can get a few winners. 😂 If you don't like the horses don't back them.

Venetia has shown she can still train a winner today with Djelo. I want to see Martator in the confirmations tomorrow. He improved a stone and a half on official ratings last year, and his last performance was a step in the right direction. I'd probably want decent ground for him and nothing...

If Venetia could be described as cream, then she should rise back up soon.

If it's anything like England the bus drivers will be requesting more money. I mean, I'm all in favour of this of course, but at least keep providing the service.

I'm hoping things get better for Venetia towards the end of this week. The Famous Five is entered up in a class 3 at Bangor on Friday, so I await to see if he's declared there. Then we have the December Gold Cup on Saturday, where I think Martator could be stonkingly good value, at double...

Excellent, Ian. Horse racing, Tesco and Angela Rayner extraordinaire that you are. Please try and keep it going. 👍

Pertemps Network Final - Act Of Authority - 200 EW @ 20/1 with Hills.

Seconded! 😁😂👍
