Try the sporting life.

Look at the race card for the race and check the "expected price" at the bottom

Absolute Blast in the 7:45 at 11/4 was my pick. It ran a very credible race in the Prix de Ligne and based on that form has 2 stone on this field. Nice prep race on introduction to Britain recently, think it's a cert for tomorrow.

Put this up after his last run. Extra couple of furlongs should be no problem and i really fancy this tonight. 8.00 Dundalk

LUCENT DREAM goes straight into the tracker after watching that race. Got no run whatsoever but finished very strongly. Worth another look

I actually put the exact thing into my tracker.

I have have a small lottery style trixie on Lucent Dream, US Navy Seal and Absolute Blast for the fun.

Non runner after being heavily backed.

What is the betting that someone jumped the gun on the betting meaning the connections couldn't get on?

Shanee.

According to the Turf Club website the reason for US Navy Seal being withdrawn is "By Order of the Stewards."

Great shout. Well Done

Veterans handicap in Sandown today could have a big bearing on the Trainers championship. Nichols has 2 runners to Tizzards 1.

My favourite football betting day of the year, FA Cup third round. Every time QPR play, I back the other team to beat them. Seems to always deliver.

Thanks Francie!

Looks like it could be another winning strategy here

Can someone tell me which premier league club are likely to sack their manager? The reason is I have a suspicion who the replacement will be. Sorry if the question is a little vague.

I backed Claude Puel next to be gone during the week

I think West ham owners are disappointed with the season so far so You might get good odds there

Martin O'Neill replacing Bilic at West HAm?

The reason I ask, and I don't want to start a daft rumor, but harry redknapp has pulled out of a gig (fundraiser thing) and I suspect he's got a new job. Is he listed for any of those roles/markets

HarshOstrich

I'm delighted to see Josephine Gordon get a good stable job with Hugo palmer.
Some difference in her riding from a year ago, just watching her the last few days shes very agggressive in the finish which I like to see.
I would much rather her than Luke Morris anyway.

Richard faheys apprentice natilie hambling is getting a lot of chances off him and will go on a good run of winners when she learns to stop going up the inside rail to go by a horse.

BumperD

I know. A wild guess, but and I could be way off the mark. I don't follow the footy that much but would be willing to stick on a few quid on a bet if I can see a market for him. Appreciate the responses lads/lassies!

I would also look at underperforming championship sides as an option and Alex Neil at Norwich must be hanging on by a thread.

One of the morning papers has a story on the Watford manager facing the sack. I've checked and he is the favourite to be sacked but can't see odds anywhere on his replacement. London would suit redknapp though
