90 at 22/1 makes ?2k. Not many fancied him after the masters but I stayed with him. A friend suggested I should take 750 for the bet on Friday night. But I chose not to hedge, or even ask advice from ????..... It's the big one. 3 holes to go.

Humph.....


I'm looking forward to this race. Don't know much about canford cliffs but if he is fav ahead of frankel he must be special.

As undoubtedly talented as Frankel is, I don't believe he can handle the devastating turn of foot that Canford Cliffs possesses. The form of Frankel's demolition job in the 2000 Gunineas has taken a few too many knocks now for my liking whereas Canford Cliffs proved his class with his comfortable despatching of the 'super mare' Goldikova. ???? I would feel very confident if I were you and I would suggest your faith is well placed!

He is not favourite any longer. I'm going on Frankel.

I've been very disciplined with my betting for about a year now. No bets for the sake of it - doing proper(ish) reserach and 5% of my bankroll max...and, some decent results. Then last night, flight delayed, got chatting to to right Geeeeezers from Kent who have a dog running at the last race at Sittingbourne tomorrow, Dappy Dipper or somethings, so gonna have a punt on that....I'll never learn :))


I made a few quid on the Golf thanks to trading

I had a win when Uruguay beat Peru



I've got England to win the first test with a no-draw bet (ie reduced odds but if it's a draw I get my money back)


I also think Suarez as top goalscorer at 20 is MASSIVE value


And I've a lay on Frankel still :-S

Those odds do look generous, but maybe the bookies are reflecting his continued involvement in the Copa America...and new season is only 3 weeks away

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!) As regards the apparent  marketing spiel, at least one of the online reviewers also refers to a Chango branch (the Parsons Green one in this case) as a "gem". Probably just coincidence and a word in common use to describe such places. I wouldn't know. I'm ancient 🤣
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
