8/1 PGC. I got him at 12 ;-)


In Mr Ben's spirit of going to a bookies - and I agree with him - I've just gone to William Hills and done a 30p lucky 15 for ?4.50 in total.


Peddlars Cross

Puchestown

Masterminded

Drumabaloo


Propa mug punting. It was great in there.




Serious bet on Masterminded and an on the nose reasonable stake on Quantitative Easing.

1.30 - Synchronised EW - Non-Runner

2.05 - Quel Esprit Win - Unplaced

2.40 - Punchestown Win Unplaced (Last seen heading towards a French restaurant with Masterminded)

3.20 - Forpadydeplasterer EW - 2nd @ 10/1

4.00 - Quantitativeeasing EW - Unplaced

4.40 - Open Day EW - Unplaced

5.15 - Dare Me EW - Unplaced


Anyone got a spare 'Get out of jail free' card?..

Today...


A big start of the big horse racing meating so far and here's a couple of less published "stats" from the Cheltenham Festival results.


There has already been a lot of shocks and upsets in today?s races.. ( I mean some people actually lost money..)


It could be a race meeting which is full of excitement! ( though definitely not for these "Nags" )



Citizen Vic (IRE)---------Today-----------Cheltenham------Fatal Fall


Casey Jones (IRE)---------Yesterday-------Cheltenham------Brought Down - Destroyed



All high quality , free range, lean "thoroughbreed " dog food now/soon..






W**F



( edited to take the harshness out )

Festival Bloodbath for Punters.....the headline in one of today's papers.


I have decided that the the form book goes out the window and its because all of the form is on soft ground over the winter and at Cheltenham they tend to run on good ground.


So last night I picked out horses who have won on good ground.


THEN - On the Morning Line they show me that that have changed the course from yesterday and are running on a new strip of turf AND have watered the course too! So its now Good to Soft, soft in places.


Best laid plans eh.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
