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bets for me Mick, but as I said before Kite Wood will be strongly fancied for the Leger now that Age of Aquarius has withdrawn.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Of the other four withdrawn at the five-day stage, Goldikova, who will contest theTotal Prix de la Foret on October 3, was the most notable.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

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
