As Len has said, hope things improve for you quickly. Your diligence and attitude seem commendable which makes me feel you will get on. Take care and good luck!

Tuesday’s second race is one I’m looking forward to, not as a betting opportunity but as a clash between two young horse with a lot of potential. I said before that I think Berkshire Shadow was the horse to take from the Ascot meeting.He really impressed me but he’s up against the horse who I...

When I've tried betting based on the analytical methods used by the experts on here for any length of time I invariably lose money. Too often backing horses that are too short in the betting because their merits are clear to all. In addition whilst I love seeing top horses perform I don't get...

A thread for the Summer jumping at Market Rasen and nobody mentions former Forum stalwart Roddy Owen’s hope. With the Bowen family input he has some very good times farming the big events at the course. Travelling home from a short break I missed out on backing Francky de Berlais winning the...

Ouch!

I really like the atmosphere at the Newmarket July Course which compares very favourably with the Rowley Mile main course in my mind. Many times I have taken members of my extended family or encouraged friends to sample the the more laid back nature of racing at the course albeit the quality of...

Time is well written and extremely well acted. Sean Bean and Stephen Graham both deserve awards.

Alright clever clogs, so how did you do it? Be good to know.

I have stayed for the Festival meeting for more than 40 years and iirc missed only 2. I am at an age when I prefer not to be standing for several hours at a go and definitely not for five days in a row. I therefore have an annual badge and pay for a seat in front of the Insurance Bar. The group...

I normally have a sizeable AP book going into Ascot every year. Alcohol Free was my only AP bet this year and that was to a far smaller stake than I would normally have at the meeting on my main fancy. Questions as to which race she would be in and whether she could turn around from a not...

I have no strong fancies for tomorrow but since it is Ascot I decided to put a fiver ew on 3 of the tips on here and do a £2.50ew trixie before doing a proper study tomorrow. I went to sites of 3 of the largest bookies, all of which I have an account. The maximum stake I was allowed was in...

Enjoy the day, Paul! Well done!

Some superb performances at Punchestown this evening, including one from a forum owned horse. Colreevy was imperious and Chacun, well wow! Such a shame so few could watched on course. Classic Racing.

Small stakes but having read this went with Greanetean. Good call|

Off to Warwick shortly with my pal and his horse. Much better day than the freezing day at Uttoxeter recently. If the horse is considered likely , and I get permission, I'll post later.

I have watched Alcohol Free's race on Sunday several times but am still not sure what I learned. Clearly she stays 7 furlongs but further? During the race I thought she would be beaten and like others on here I was more impressed with Snow Lantern's performance. My immediate reaction was to...

According to ATR website Miss Amulet is set for French 1000

This is Us - Amazon. Didn’t expect too much and was expecting to give up on what could be yet another schmaltzy US series. Anything but. Unusual structure but it works and I can easily see why it is winning awards. Every time you think you know what is about to happen , it doesn’t. Covers so...

I have kept an eye open for Jeff Smith's horses since the early 80"s when whilst putting together a financing package that helped his business win a significant export order I was recommended to follow his then untried 2yo, Chief Singer. The horse became the first flat horse that I followed...
