True tales from the betting ring.

[Simon Nott]

Paul Nicholls has a treble, Jabiru wins the hunter chase, there is a case of mistaken identity in the ring and there are just too many tenners in the bag at Taunton Races in 2005.

Simon re your article on the Newbury Totesport meeting in the March issue of Racing Ahead, the photo accompanying the article and captioned " No joy on Ruby Walsh's face after Al Ferof's ( the horse which won the first race)victory" is not really relevant given Ruby wasn't race riding at that time and is obviously an old photo.

Have a word in the person responsible's earhole

Hi Diamond Geezer, I have no control over that photo or the caption, though the one of the bookies was taken by me on the day. It is a bit of a glaring one though, would be best to email the magazine and point that out. There were one or two 'typos' in the text too, we all have off days I'm assuming the editor did too.

Here's a trip down memory lane, Cheltenham 2003 where the big hitters did battle with the bookies, and won. http://wp.me/p1dLbd-1y

How did the novel progress Simon?

It's on the backburner, I am writing down stuff from the last 20 years in the betting ring and then am going to see if it's interesting to anyone but me.

Sadly my tales from the betting ring column has been discontinued but I am 40,000 words in to my book about my adventures in the betting ring in the last 20 years. While I am here, I'm having a clear out of clutter, very interesting clutter to some it may be though. Racing stuff includes Pacemaker Internationals from the 1980s.

No racing today but I found reading your articles well worth the time spent Simon...thanks for taking the time to post. I'd forgotten what it was like being right there in the thick of things on a cold winters day which is about the only think I really miss since moving to Asia. Cheers!!!
