Update: Hashtagnotions has not been declared, so Eireann is now on Epicurean Lad. Absolute scenes! Looks like a 10-runner race, and all horses have been claimed by a jockey. No prices up yet, so I’ll be back tomorrow when I have more info to play with.

The 17:05 at at Redcar on Friday is our next race. It looks like our man Eireann Cagney is available to ride the favourite Hashtagnotions. The horse is in good form (41312), but caution may be advised here, as he’s finished second and third from last, in his only two visits to Redcar. It’s...

Great recovery, Hobbits!

Nice winner at, let’s call it evens. And the ew pick rewarded punters. Running total: 7.5pts

He does indeed, Jayhawk, and that’s where my 3pts are going. Believe in Lies for the ew backers for an in-form trainer.

I have a varied portfolio, ranging from Dawn Rising to Vaguely Royal, and including the likes of The Shunter. In for a few quid only. I love this race - marvellous history about it. I remember John Cherry winning the race 49 years ago, under Lester. Carried a huge weight, too...

Today is a fairly typical day’s punting today for me. I won with some pissed bets on US racing last night, that I didn’t check until this morning. I paid myself back £15, and had £8 left to punt for today. Which has now turned into £21, thanks to some combos from Giggsy. I should stop there...

The only time I chase losses is when I’m in the pub - drink impairs judgement, we all know that. However, when the angle you’ve seen that “no one else could possibly have seen” romps in at 20/1 - and you’re pissed - well, that is a marvellous feeling. Betting apps are what makes it easier to...

We didn’t really get a look in, aside from Le Pelerin placing at 10/1. Winner was the second string for the trainer responsible for First Greyed. Plus 1.5pts

Literally, the word for dessert is “afters” in my gaff. But a lovely anecdote, thank you, Ian.

Yeah, Dessie has popped his head in a couple of times recently. I hope he’s back for good soon.

P Power bricking it: offering me £3.49 cash out on my £3.32 stake.

So, the 4:20 at Wolverhampton tomorrow. Three qualifying jockeys, and the best one - our man, Eireann - is riding the two-time course winner, First Greyed at 10/1. The other jockeys, who have also ridden winners recently are riding more fancied horses - Zambezi Magic and Le Pelerin I’m nine...

Saw that last night. He’s probably demanding rides and getting other jockeys jocked off the favourite these days!

Hijack away, Ian - I will not ask you to “leave” my thread, as Slim might. Thank you, I shall be backing Dalileo ew today!

Oh. We’ll have to do some proper thinking, then. The bloke is a machine - always wins or places. But it’s good to see the theory reaping small rewards. A jockey that good should not be winning races on 11/1 shots. And it’s that extra competence that is finding the extra ability from the horse.

Excellent return, chaps. Eireann is a total star, and a 16/1 place. Plus 9 points

I’ve stuck to my original ‘amfolio’: .75 ew Cancan etc 1pt win Rainbow Nebula 1.25 ew Shaladar But it’s good to read everyone’s input - many thanks!

Cheers, Ian - great pointers, as usual.

Many thanks, Jayhawk.
