Well done guys - I imagine it was a quite an adrenalin rush if you have real money on a horse like that. I had 20 on MC just in case of a slip up but STS too short for me, although I suspect the odds reflected its class. I always maintain that horseracing is a great sport and I can admire STS performance even though not backing it myself.


I hope I have backed a thoroughbred in the 400m ladies tonight, and Richards will win, she was 1.41. I don't know what I was thinking of betting on athletics, but she seemed to coast home in her semi. Fingers crossed.

Depends how much you bet Lard - I suspect RD bet quite a lot and deserves his reward.



As for Celtic - I hope you win some money.

Bumping my own message just in case RD did not see my congrats from the previous page.....

Thanks for the congrats Mick and well done Quids too, interesting bet you've got there with Richards tonight Mick, do you know she has a history of choking on the big stage?, although to be fair she did look impressive in the semi against Ohuruogu. I think this is a race too soon after a lay off with injury for Ohuruogu so your money is looking good, unless...::o

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
