    I'll be on again and I think he'll win.

    Should get at least 9/4 shortly, if not I'll settle for the 2/1.

    One of the worst prices I have ever seen and not exaggerating. Six pounds for that was harsh I think, wouldn't fancy him today.
    Don't know, I thought even though it was slow out of the stalls, it still won with a good bit in hand. Opposition doesn't look any tougher today, I would have this horse as favourite.

    I am on Mossgo today at 11/4 in the 5:15 at Lingers as a better value proposition than the 11/8 favourite. Nothing else in the race stands out and if Mossgo hadn't made a complete balls out of the start last time out, it would have won.
    Blindfold still on when left stalls and awkwardly away, soon chased leaders, went 2nd over 1f out, edged left but closed on winner 100yds out, not quicken after

    Ninety Minutes out tomorrow for Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan (yes, the footballers!) in the 5:10 at Wolverhampton. This one has been dropping through the weights like a stone and now finds itself off a mark of 57. Stayed on quite well to finish 5th after a wide draw kept it well towards the back for much of the race on that occasion. By no means is this horse quick, but given the quality of the runners tomorrow, it looks to be the one I would want to be on in a straight 2 furlong sprint towards the end. Hopefully being drawn in stall 2 it breaks well and doesn't have quite so much work to do tomorrow, so I am hoping it's there or thereabouts at the close. Just got the last of the 5/1 (e/w) from BetVictor.

    A serious upswing in form the last few weeks, shows what a difference upgraded facilities provide. Great angle punting wise

    Betfair put him up at 5/1 last night. I instantly had as much money on as they'd let me have. He's about a 13/8 shot in my eyes. Should go well.

    He has been smashed up in the betting which is not surprising given how poor the race looks.

    11/8 now.

    Makes all last day and wins, held up pretty much out the back of the pack and finishes with running left for 3rd. Bizarre stuff really

    Didn't see it but told he was obviously the best in the race. Unfortunate but it happens.

    To be fair to the jockey he broke slowly and was trapped in for a long way as a result. A shame as he was indeed the best in the race.

    Just Because wins at 6/1 on Monday - Berrahri wins again today. Stupidly didn't do it.

    Think it's safe to say that John Best has come good quite nicely. While I am up decent money, if I had just backed all his runners blind off a level stake, I would have made more money. Oh well. Think Best still has a few interesting horses left that have a good chance at winning (Stone Of Folca, Mossgo), so won't be giving up just yet.

    Ninety Minuntes runs tomorrow at Chelmsford City. Currently around the 3/1 mark. Looks to have re-found a bit of form. Big Chance you would feel.

    I noticed while having a an idle look on Oddschecker that Authorised Spirit was having its first run for a new stable, John Best's, in the 8.10 at Kempton. Was very tempted to have a nibble, but I didn't. It won at 25-1! Gah!

    Another one having it's first run for John Best, in the 8.10 at Kempton. Spooky (see previous post)
    Whitstable Pearl. 33-1. I put a small e/w on it for a bit of interest.

    Well done lads, I didn't follow :( It's mad though what a change of yard can do for a trainer. This lad could not buy a winner, but then moves into new digs with a lovely all weather gallops, solarium, hydrotherapy unit - and all of a sudden his horses are going great guns.

    2 running for John Best today.
    Mulled Wine 3rd time out at Lingfield 2.25 interests me. I have little confidence in it to be honest, but I've won enough money off this thread to spunk an e/w on it, Kieren Fox on board, 40-1 (Paddy Power)

    Just a heads up for you lads, his horse has been well supported in this 345 at Linfield.

    SP was 4/1, think he was 6/1 when I spotted him first, backed him at 9/2 he flitted in between that and 4/1 up to the off

    Yeah, I had a look at 5-1. I was too busy setting cash on fire on Cheltenham at the time though!

    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.

    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!
