    The 2025 Becher (Handicap) Chase

    Surely you must be in line for something in the New Year honours list for service's to the common man. Another great pick from YFUSA.

    Is There Any Good Bookies These Days ?

    I go into a local shop 2-3 times a week, and very rarely that there are more than 5 or 6 people in at a time, and of these 3 are glued to FOBT's. The older punters(40+) will be studying form, having a bit of banter and the younger punters are more interested in the FOBT's with the odd dog/horse...

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    Its free for all to post their fancies so you arent doing anything wrong. The only advice I would give is if you look at the other posters they are more specific with their tips and they also tend to include their reasoning for backing the horse. That approach may/may not suit your type of...

    X Spaces

    Would definitely love to see/hear a debate hosted by YFUSA with a panel off Slim, Jinnyj, EDGT, DO etc as the racing knowledge they, and many others on here,have is massive. I would also say @Danny needs to have a Q&A session all to himself hosted by YFUSA so that we can all see how he sparkles...

    Help, I have brain fog

    Sitting talking with my bro today, we were trying to think of the Coolmore horse that was a decent 2 year old, was retired to stud but pretty much fired blanks and came back to racing. I know someone on here will know, 4/7 YFUSA, 1/1 Slim, 4/1 Bar. Can someone help me out?

    2025 Melbourne Cup - Race Prediction, Tips, Picks, & Expert Thoughts on Which Horse Will Win On The Day

    River of Stars for me, should handle the ground and ran a decent enough race behind the favourite last time out. Draw isnt a disaster and at 12/1 worth an ew bet.

    Forum Horse Connections

    I got into Old Gold last year and have the end of a nostril hair in 2 horses, Swingingonthesteel and Big City Roller. Both have won a couple of races and the cost to me has been more than covered. It definitely makes you look at a race differently if you have a miniscule share in the horse and...

    The 2025 Cesarewitch (Handicap)

    Re the extended places, for mug punters like me they are definitely a curse. Instead of initially looking at who i think might win a race with the extended places now I find myself looking for a bigger price nag who could potentially place at big odds and may even win. Its definitely changed my...

    The 2025 Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe Weekend Meeting Thread

    I have backed two today, Mgheera in the l'Abbaye who I think has a decent draw and if the gaps appear should have a decent chance, and Kalpana ew in the Arc. Not a horse I particularly like but I just feel that she was so over hyped early in the season and now that has disappeared she is a price...

    Any thoughts on the Ascot draw?

    This might sound like a stupid question, and reading USA's post above leads me to believe the draw for Ascot starts with number one closest to the stand rail and the highest drawn number is closest to the far rail, but who decides whether its 1 to the inside or to the outside when stalls are...

    Irish Cesarewitch

    Took the advice of Uncle Smart Arse and backed Putyourhandstogether ew @ 20/1 whilst it was still a reserve, also have an ew bet on Aeronautic @ 25/1, both 6 places, and glad to see a bit of support for both.

    The 2025 Cambridgeshire (Handicap)

    I have backed Great Chieftain ew 28/1 6 places but I couldnt resist having a few quid ew on Treble Tee @ 8/1, far too big a price for it.

    Aftertiming thread

    Thank you, really surprised that my judgement was right for once. I am definitely a mug punter, always making the decision on what to back with my heart rather than head and one of the many things I love about this forum is the knowledge and insight that so many posters have. Its great that so...

    A bit of after timing for today, fancied Winged Messenger and thought the 12/1 was great value:

    Money for jumps

    Its a while since I did a Lucky 15 with Bar One Racing but I am sure they are BOG and treble the odds one winner on Lucky 15's. They seem to have revamped their site and they may have changed this as they are doing a lot less extra place races than they used to. PS, I am a Gaylord....

    Jockey News

    Gap was there for the taking, the horse that finished second slammed the door shut when he came across. I am shocked there wasnt a stewards.
