down for Cheltenham overall but had some luck on other races while its been on, particularly a large pay out on a horse that was disqualified too last night, thanks to betfair for that one

some decent faves have saved a nightmare though it has to be said

I have been completely and utterly fucked up this festival, can't believe how badly it has gone, absolute horror show.

Other than that Codd double on day 2 i haven't had a fucking sniff.

Still enjoyed it like :)

Wow what a great finish. Lots of big fancies turned over again.
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.

Codd has given that a very very poor ride there. Very poor indeed. Tried to be too clever out the back. Really missed Nina on him there.

Backed Bristol du Mai each way and extended it to five places and reduced odds. Been paid out although result said he came 7th. Not complaining but anyone know why?!

If you've never been mate just get it booked. It's absolutely amazing, no meeting like it. Book your hotels as far in advance as you can to save money as tickets are guaranteed It's an unbelievable week, Aintree not a patch on it for me.

Sorry mate only just seen this, his price basically. On my figures I felt he could run a big race, was drawn well and just looked over priced. In hindsight I should've taken more notice to the jockey. Thought his inexperience cost him slightly in the early parts of the race there, struggled to settle the horse effectively.

One big bet for me today Don Bersy in the 3.35 in Newbury. Rate this horse very very highly and reckon he'll enjoy the extra couple of furlongs.

Will have him in a treble with Ertijaal and Arrogate as well, pays 13/1 at the moment on Bet365.
So bloody what? If you watch football to be absolutely miserable then go watch cricket.

Results in Meydan clearly showing rain is having a big effect. Going for a few outsiders in the World Cup that should appreciate the mud. Awardee, Apollo Kentucky & Gold Dream all 66/1 & all each way.

Yes, Ertijaal absoluletly ran out of steam about a furlong out. Still confident on Don Bersy for my main bet of the day. There's a bit of money for him now too. Gonna just watch the World Cup and hope to see a special performance from Arrogate.

Don Bersy ran a good race but finished 3rd unfortunately. Just didn't see out the trip as well as the other two.

Astra is a NR, fancy Silvi as Nicholls is desperate to win the trainers championship and i think he wants this old favourite to go out on a high. Won plenty on it myself and have loved watching him at his peak. Anyway, had a few quid at 9-1 so heres hoping. ASO could repeat his cheltenham run and sneak a place at big price
You say Honey? I say Fuck off.

There is another option. Mr Ferguson organises the fixtures in his office and sends it to us and everyone will know and cannot complain. That is simple.
