Was that another win for Willie Mullins RD?

[red devil]

Could be... (6)

[red devil]

Wow! what a horse, didn't even have to ride him out...

[maxash]

Just got that one,in my lucky 63, got 3 horses to go, but have been unlucky with chatterbox and unioniste!

[maxash]

Meant to say, in these fields Ive done each way, so those 2 horses were both 4th, so yes unlucky, never mind, theres always tomorrow! good luck to those having a flutter.

[Mick Mac]

Gutted - had 2nd and 3rd in that race, on the nose for quite big money. No winner yet in the whole meeting, carnage.

[red devil]

Nevermind chaps there's always tomorrow, no bets for me today, holding fire...

[TE44]

I had medinas, on lucky 15, first one down

got fatcatinthehat next one.

Sod the betting for a moment, that was an amazing performance, maginificent indeed!

[TE44]

Oh well, i'm waiting on pure science which would make a nice double.

Glad i got medina on bet fred, triple the odds for one winner.

[maxash]

So that ended up rubbish! Any ideas for tomorrow guys?

[red devil]

Going to be hard to catch you now Mick...pesky Mullins!

[Mick Mac]

I've forgotten how much we decided to stake on this little match RD. ?

['bout now]

Saved by the safest triple... ever. Simonsig, Quevega and Sprinter Sacre, each way Master of the Sea sees me ?7.50 up!!

Tomorrow I'm "lumping in" 7.5 squid on Bog Warrior.

You have been warned!

Harry the Viking*

*completelow stakes mug punting, liked the name - 30/1

[red devil]

One of my stables has done well trainer wise, and the other jockey wise. I should've done a mashed up third stable. Nevermind, ever the optimist*, I only need one 10/1 winner to close the gap on Mick.

Just some each way action today, who and how much, depends how the market pans out, but will start off with Captain Conan...

I've been given a tip for a long odds EW in the 2nd, Hada Men (47 on Betfair!) so I've had a nibble. Source has good track record but still just an outsider tip.

[Mick Mac]

Solwit - my first winner! 11/1. (and yes RD, I had it in the fantasy too :) )

I'm still down - but that helped a lot.

[red devil]

Bugger, that's 110 pts...well done on the bet though.

I've got Venetia Williams as a trainer but didn't back her 50/1 winner...

[????]

blooody disaster :(
