Did that one and doubled my bet - plus got 2/1 with William Hill. Still a loss overall for the day but good to get the winner of the last :))

[????]

I got 8/1 on Binocular rather than the sp at 9 but unusually for a hedger like me I did it to win so I'm happy. Lost half a bet on my other one (EW but half paid for by my lay). So a very good day with some ammo for the rest of the week.

1.30 - General Miller EW - Unplaced (Next race: Blackpool beach wearing a 'Kiss Me Quick' hat);

2.05 - Somersby Win - 2nd @ 4/1;

2.40 - Exmoor Ranger EW - Unplaced (Next race: Blackpool beach wearing a 'Kiss Me Quick' hat);

3.20 - Punjabi EW - Unplaced (Next race: Blackpool beach wearing a 'Kiss Me Quick' hat);

4.00 - Silver Birch EW - Unplaced (Next race: Blackpool beach wearing a 'Kiss Me Quick' hat);

4.40 - Quevega Win - 1st (Holiday on Blackpool beach with winnings).

Deano got a place too if he did his EW

[Mick Mac]

I'm relieved to be only ?40 down. The Package should also have won though and I'll go with McGrath's tips again tomorrow.

Taking, by chance, the back entrance out of our newly refurbed office building today I was thrilled to find something underneath our building. A little, very tucked away Coral bookies in the basement. I then found it has a goods lift in its foyer to my office floor which if you are a tenant you can operate. Brilliant!

Appreciate its all about the web for best odds these days but I like filling out a paper slip somewhere seedy and can now get from my desk to this secret gambling underworld in about 1 minute 30 seconds. Clientele is a heady mix of on site builders, tipsy insurance brokers and the odd posh looking barrister who's nipped out to see how the horse he's got a share in is doing.

Anyways - I'm also ?40 down having also backed Flat Out in the 13.05 (which ran well at 5th I thought) for a decent price. Tomorrow could be distracting.....

[Narnia]

Shouldn't that be ?59 Mick?

[????]

Wot Declan said - The Telegraph's only about a quid but you spent ?19 on a website subscription that you've abandoned!

[Mick Mac]

I will have you know that I was able to watch the racing from the comfort of my own PC at work as part of my ?19. All good value.

Have gone big on Masterminded for tomorrow.

[????]

I think that's a win but too small odds for me.

[Mick Mac]

I have told Betfair what you said but they refuse to pay up until after the race. Apparently your decision is not final.

[????]

He was better odds on William Hill. I'm going to lay him just to annoy you.

[Mick Mac]

Punchestown and Masterminded for tomorrow.

The rest I will trust to my friend Marlborough.

Day Two Tips...

1.30 - Synchronised EW

2.05 - Quel Esprit Win

2.40 - Punchestown Win

3.20 - Forpadydeplasterer EW

4.00 - Quantitativeeasing EW

4.40 - Open Day EW

[????]

..oh dear, punters delusion.....

RD I've heard a few going for QE and also a lot of noise for Paddydp but I've lost there before. In all honesty I think I'm gonna place two of my betting units for the week on Masterminded at 1.89 and maybe a punt elsewhere.

Hi Quids and MM, thanks for the welcome back, these tips are more 'fun' bets to keep an interest in the meet, e.g. Lucky 15/Patent etc, for 'serious' bets I prefer to hit one or two horses with win only bets, yesterday I was chasing my 'fun' money and ended up lumping Quevega to get out of jail...

Depending on the odds I will probably lump Masterminded, so Forpadyp is really a 'fun' bet to cover outlay should MM fail, of course if both fail then I'm back in jail!..

Give me a reasonable outsider for the Gold Cup - I can just about afford to lose a fiver.

Imperial Commander

Denman is now 5s (4/1) for the GC...mmmm

[Mick Mac]

Masterminded was 4/11 when he won last year. Looks good odds this year at 5/6 or 10/11. Might be a better banker than Kauto with no recognised competitor (unlike kauto who has Denman as an obvious challenger).

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I. Commander getting 9.0. What does that mean in old money?
