Ruby was atrocious on Ceol Rua as well.

I don't think my money was much assistance to Ceol Rua either. Her jumping was poor, especially at the last, when a good one might have made a difference.

I didn't think it that bad. I thought what cost her was Ruby trying to be too clever and waiting till too late, and getting squeezed up among horses a couple of furlongs out. That shuffled her back, and after that she did well to rally.

Missunited each way off the opening show is the bet in the last. Turn And Burn will be sent off too short.

Had to settle for 11/2 - out of jail - nice one dot com SC -

I hate backing a non-jigger - there is nothing worse - Mark Walsh didn't give Reizovic a bad ride - he did exactly what he was told to do - get beaten - 5/2 - 5/1 FFS.

I keep telling you to stick to the Slim Chane (of losing) card.

Musselburgh today, reasonable sized fields & 2 races over 2m, 1 an amateur riders race, going good (g/s places).

Total Winning Distance Betting:

Ladbrokes - over 16.5L 7/4
paddy power - over 16.5L 6/4
Skybet - over 16L 15/8

Stan James - over 15.75L 7/4

Spread is 14.3 to buy at. Will Hill bet looks a standout of those offered.

Missed out by a couple - a couple of eased down winners (especially the first race) not helping the cause.

A De Sousa double has soothed things though, and it would take a series of miraculous jockey changes for him to lose the Jocket Challenge mentioned above.

Good call with those two SlimChance, I think you may be running this NAPs comp in your honour!

Savage call, SC.

If I didn't think you were a clueless flute, I would have followed you in.

Guess that makes me a clueless flute.

Quernstone in the 7.05. Closely related to a Grade 1 winner in the US, and a $750k yearling. I backed the favourite at Salisbury, and he was a little unlucky, but doesn't strike me as unbeatable. 12/1 e/w is interesting.

Speaking of Baseball, anyone got an interest in the World Series?

* Aftertiming alert*

I backed the Texas Rangers a while back at 14's, and whilst the bet looks pretty handy, I confess it was pot-luck based on where I holidayed in the summer, rather than any real insight.

I've had a small tickle at 13/8 in the Over 8.5 Runs market in tonight's Game 6 outing.

There's only been one real blow-out in the first five games, but these are two high-octane offences and both are well capable of racking-up the Hits. Whilst this isn't exactly a hitter's park either, I figure both offenses will open up (the series has been a bit cat-and-mouse so far) - St Louis because they can't afford to lose, and Texas because they will want to put it away.

Both starting pitchers are useful, but neither are bullet-proof, and the respective bull-pens have had their bad nights too. They might not produce too many Home Runs, but I can see both teams getting plenty of hits, and I'm expecting that they will be able to run a goodly amount of them in.

Good luck! It was the Rangers I was backing last year against the Yankees. I'm a changed man though!

Before the NR for Fallon, I'd have made it 4/9 SDS, 15/8 Hanagan, 6/1 Fallon, with Fallon's NR more like 2/5, 7/4 & 8/1.

Current prices available in the William Hill "Wednesday Jockey Challenge":

SDS 4/5
Hanagan 7/4
Fallon 4/1.

As comfortable a victory as you'd like, 75 points for De Sousa's 3 wins, Fallon scoring 0 at Kempton (even with picking up one of SDS rides as a spare!) and Hanagan just 15 for a 2nd & 3rd at Muss.

Seriously good work Steve... You have a nice position on SDS in the Jockeys Title also I would imagine.
 
I just backed meitheamh in the first at Clonmel. All over the winner and he fell - that twit on the eventual winner jumped into him I thought. Regardless, it sums up things lately for me.
 
Hazzard County @ 20/1 is a huge price in the 3:10 Lingfield - ran well over CD three starts back and a winner over a mile at the track two starts ago, excuses LTO when stumbling at the start and upped in trip and returns from a lay-off today so should be fresh enough :)

Sick as a small hospital tonight when I realized deBromheads winner today had a Betfair sp of 159.
I cornered him at the races a few years ago and told him about winners from the stable I had backed at big odds on Betfair and he was genuinely surprised that anyone would be laying horses at such big odds.
