Cheltenham....

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

lovely start only got 13-1 but ?25 on the nose means my hangover is feeling better already

never a good idea to leave a strip club at 4am and realise you have to be a work in London for 8am

[Mick Mac]

:)) Very good...

[Mick Mac]

Have also covered Sentry Duty and Katchit.....hedging my bets now - one horse is no longer enough.

[Narnia]

It is if it wins Mick!

[Mick Mac]

And of course my horse did win on the occaision that I hedged, but a profit is a profit declan and I could do with more of those.

[MrBen]

Well done RC - some rock and roll betting there with a hangover and 3 hours kip...no mean feat.

Powerstation placing at 33-1 has helped me recover but I'm not holding up much luck for the 4 pm. As a result am now doubling up and following Mick and Red Devil with Atouchbetween e/w.

[????]

Big Bucks on big Bucks was my only bet today :)) I am now well in profit for this year whatever happens tomorrow so no loss chasing...a rare outcome!

As if by magic...does your bookmaker resemble this man perchance Mr Ben?...

He does indeed. Note the rubbing together of his hands in anticipation of my lousy mug bets. Never trust a man in a fez. Short of a miracle tomorrow I should have saved myself the trouble and taken Mrs Ben to Franklins.

[Mick Mac]

I have tried to look at the horse racing card for tomorrow but have grown very weary of trying to pick a winner and keep getting distracted by gardening websites.

This would never have happened to me 10 years ago.

What is wrong with me. :(

Tell Massini in the 2.40 for me, plus my already placed Gold Cup bets.

Mick, I'd areiate with a fork use some lawn sand and a soft loam.

[Mick Mac]

Eradicate in the 2.05

Restless Harry in the 2.40

Kauto Star in the 3.20

Roullez Cool in the 4.00

Please don't do that RC - its the road to ruin......

WeLL - you never know - I have gone for relativley short odds horses with form on good ground so who knows.

To be honest if Kauto wins I'll be relatively relaxed about the others. Its my biggest punt of the week and I need it to cover my growing losses.

['bout now]

It's official, Kauto Star will NOT win today

Because I have backed it.

[Mick Mac]

The only worry I have is that he is 10 years old. Best Mate died at 10.

But he was in great form at Kempton on boxing day - so a repeat of that form would surely see him as the winner.

[????]

IC has come down a long way but I think that's the EW money. Tricky Trickster looks the best EW value now.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

10 is only lower middle age. Puissance won by an 18 yr old. Think Steve Redgrave.

[david_carnell]

Can I bet on Carruthers just because I like Erskine Childer's novel?

No, really, can I?

[red devil]

Carruthers is owned by The Oaksey Partnership, none other than the doyen of racing Lord John Oaksey...it was meant to be DC
