    Sheikh The Reins out for the first time since August in the 8.45 at Kempton tomorrow. Was hoping for a bigger price, 8-1 PP, 9's 10's elsewhere.
    I'm finding this a very tricky race to pick one from though.

    Ruby Wednesday out again looks value 7-1 lingfield 4:15

    Didn't touch either of them. If I threw a dart at the 8.45 I was going for Roxie Lot e/w. Terrible after timing I know, even worse, I had no intention of putting money on it

    I've put a small each way on Chance To Dream at 33-1 (PP) in the Newcomers Maiden Stakes tomorrow at 1.45 at Newbury. Looks worth a small punt to me.

    The meeting was abandoned for my last punt. Glenys The Menace has it's first run in the 5.10 at Lingfield. I backed it e/w at 33-1 (PP). No particular rhyme or reason, but his last 2 first time runners for his stable, albeit this one is having it's first run ever, have won at 25-1 and 33-1, and stable jockey Kieren Fox is on board.
    Decadent Times also runs in this, probably a better bet for me. Might have been better off seeing if a tenner lights on fire! But worth a punt for me.

    Never in it, 5th of 6. Would have been better off seeing if a tenner goes on fire. Just discovered the back of a hammer is a good bottle opener, so I learned at least one thing today!

    Whitstable Pearl in the 8:05 is one I really fancy. Backed at 9/2, shame I missed the juice earlier. Hopefully gives me funds for Arlington.

    Something went badly wrong there, pulled up before the line.

    Bold Henmie in the last to save a wretched day!

    Is Best done for? Not slot coming in for him lately.

    I stopped specifically following him over a year ago! I think his horses are generally fairly handicapped and have been for a long time.

    Doncaster, The Lincoln, 3.35.
    I've backed Aidan's selections in his 100 Bets to Broke thread. I'm not sure why, (probably stupidity) but I've got a bit of a hunch about Eddystone Rock and went 2 points each way at 33-1, 5 places with PP.

    6th by a neck. At least I got a run for my money.

    Best/Fox combo, on Pendo, just won at Chelmsford. 20/1. I wasn't on it, but it's like he gave us a sniff of carrot.


  • Registered Users Posts: 749 ✭✭✭Bozo Skeleton


    Just banged in a 20-1 winner in the 7.40 at Chelmsford, Ourmullion. Was actually watching and noted with interest he had a horse in it. Didn't back it. Couldn"t believe it when it popped up to win.
