    That ole Toal buck says "I'm almost certain that Corrin Wood goes in 4miler and Derek O'Connor rides him, that's a tip in itself".

    Corrin Wood has been confirmed for RSA and Derek O'Connor has been confirmed for Shotgun Paddy in 4miler.


    Some solid info, that.

    Obviously you'd have to take whatever he says with a pinch of salt but he seemed honest enough about his prospects. Said he blew up on Sunday, wasn't touched after, came out of the race well, rode out this morning and was as fit on Sunday as he was on his (poor) Leopardstown gallop pre-festival last season. He said he was miles behind Blackmail that day but overturned that come Cheltenham and is confident he'll see similar improvement this time round for better ground. Won't go unless they believe he has a live ew chance.

    Price is short now. Don't think he'll get any shorter. They will probably take him on tomorrow to. So there might be 7/4-2/1 going.

    I was in the bookies before watching some lad bet on the favourite in every race in the space of an hour whereby he doubled his bet every time he lost.

    Started out with a 20 quid bet and after 6 losing favourites (he ran out to the ATM in the middle of it) he had lost over a 4 figure sum.

    In PP shop near Bus Aras the other day. Two junkies betting on a Wolves race. Horse wins at 6//1, having been 9/2 earlier. First junkie starts celebrating like a lunatic, telling us all about his 9/2 winner before the second one interrupts:

    Ya bleeeeedin dope ya! Paddy Power will give ya best price! (looks at slip)You'll be getting 7euro back with that!!

    Cue more celebrations! :D

I was up to my bollox on Barizan at 33s in the triumph and he was swinging in about a furlong clear, those ****ers going what colours is Geraghty wearing, is that him in second and then for the last two hurdles Barizan was coming to they started roaring fall, fall, fall, you ****ing prick. I just roared shut up you stupid *****.
