Got a couple of meetings this morning Quids, so I'm holding fire until I get back and do some final checks on form/odds etc, Goldikova has certainly got a great chance, although I read somewhere she didn't do too well in her first showing this season, might go with Heaven Scent EW...

The ground is good according to racing post. Goldikova now 7/4 with Paddy Power, so it has some support and might back it. It seems to be the class horse.

I usually allow for one bad performance first time out for the season so ignoring her last race she has a great record. The last race has introduced some unceertainty in the pricing, otherwise she would be very short. Depends therefore if you think the last race was just a hiccup - I am taking the view it was.

To be honest RD - would not have considered this meeting if you had not posted about it. So am pleased my attention was diverted. Winner seemed an abvious choice, but we have all seen the obvious choices lose before now.


BTW - Rip van Winkle has been withdrawn from the King George and will now run in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. Its going to win a Group 1 soon, I think, hope etc.

Good days work - though I've gone and laid the draw in the first test at 2.6 with my winnings!


RD/MM if you want to see something really scary go on the "general betting" forum on Betfair and look at a thread called "how to lay" or something, I'll check the name later but I'm no good with detail. This blokes taken ?500 t0 ?2000 in 2 months of laying on racing daily, massive swings, Staking plan, etc.... scares the shite ot of me!


Nice one today >:D<

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
