I think I'm possibly doing ok on Rip. Its STS that I should not have opposed. Just took me a while to believe he was as good as he was.


Of course I will be a big loser on Rip if he does not win the QEII as I might make that my big bet of September. I'm only a few quid negative for September, so might as well sort that out soonish.

No big bets for me Mick, but as I said before Kite Wood will be strongly fancied for the Leger now that Age of Aquarius has withdrawn.

Will stick to footy today, see how I get on with the 3.00 kick-offs, and hopefully 'invest' any winnings on the Spurs v Utd match...good luck!

Probably too early - but put half my stake on at a range of 2.9 to 3.35 - could not help myself.


Will put the rest on when I'm sure he will run but the odds are now 2.0 on betfair - I seem to have taken the odds down from 3.35 to 2.0 :-$ but there was not much capacity available.

Winkle odds-on as 11 stand ground for QEII

By Jessica Lamb12.24PM 21 SEP 2009

RIP VAN WINKLE has been installed as the 10-11 favourite for Saturday's Sony Queen Elizabeth II Stakes with Coral after 11 runners stood their ground for the Group 1 contest at Monday's forfeit stage.


Rip Van Winkle's trainer Aidan O'Brien holds five of the entries includingRoyal Ascot winner Mastercraftsman, while Ireland could also be represented by the Dermot Weld-trained Famous Name.


Godolphin will rely on Delegator after Donativum and Gladiatorus did not feature among the declarations.




Ghanaati, winner of the Coronation Stakes at the royal meeting in June over course and distance, is the sole filly remaining, although owner Hamdan Al Maktoum also has Group 1 winner Aqlaam engaged in the race.




Coral spokesman David Stevens explained the reasoning behind Rip Van Winkle's short price, he said: "Having chased home the mighty Sea The Stars three times this season, Rip Van Winkle sets the standard in our opinion.


"However, the presence of Delegator and Aqlaam should ensure Saturday's race provides a stern test for Aidan O'Brien's charge."


Of the other four withdrawn at the five-day stage, Goldikova, who will contest theTotal Prix de la Foret on October 3, was the most notable.


Queen Elizabeth II Stakes


Coral: 10-11 Rip Van Winkle, 9-4 Delegator, 5-1 Aqlaam, 16-1 Famous Name, Zacinto, 25-1 Virtual, 33-1 Poet, 150 Windsor Palace, 200 Set Sail

      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" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      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."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
