A friend of mine trains a horse by the name of Sway Away, who is entered in The Preakness tomorrow.

He's convinced he's got a good shot to win. Listed at 15-1.

Might be worth a pound or two.
 
As long as its trying thats good enough for me. Will risk a couple of quid.

Cheers

The trainer is Jeff Bonde, lives down the street from me. The horse is stabled here in town as well. Saw his maiden voyage at the Pleasanton Fairgrounds, walking distance from home, and he won in hand by double digit lengths. The owners are mostly local as well and this horse is a beauty. We'll see tomorrow, but like his chances. Also, he's doing quite well in the mornings.

If he tanks, I'll go on hiatus around here for a while!

No need to go that far! It's not like you are pretending to be an expert ITK. Fingers crossed. Where do we send the commission on the winnings? :emoticon-0105-wink:

BTW I often wondered about your user name. Care to elaborate?
P McG was one of my top 5 all time players.

I will elaborate. Tomorrow. Late at night, folks just left the house. Tired and had a few too many.
 
Just looked it up - jockey is Garrett Gomez. GG on a geegee. Is that an omen? <whistle>
 
Having £2 on it on Betfair, 13/1 atm, might see if it will drift a bit

BTW for those wondering, the race is the 23:16 (GMT) at Pimlico, USA <ok>
 
Well, seeing as how i'll lierally bet on anything, i've spunked £30 on it at 14's on bet365.

Took a bit of finding the race mind, the international stuff is buried under about 4 screens!
 
2:40 Curragh - Power
3:45 Curragh - Zabarajad (Irish 2000 guineas)
5:20 Curragh - Giving Orders

Also doing this treble with betfair, reckon it has a great chance, pays 135/1 with Paddy Power, betfair prices are usually better but they havn't got them up yet for the 3:45 and 5:20....

Giving Orders looks a great bet at 9/1 if you don't fancy a treble, JP Mcmanus' only horse at Curragh today, from a good yard, good jockey. If you're watching the coverage it would be interesting to see if McManus is at the Curragh himself because he won't be going there with only 1 horse when he has over 400 in training, just to watch it get beat!

I'll have a fiver on that as well.

If it comes in i'll buy you a new Sunderland top <ok>
 
You ****ers. Started reading this thread and have just bet with money I don't have.

Shame. I used to quite like my knee caps.

The Valencia/Villareal/Barca bet looks a great bet.

The bookies seem to think that because Viallareal and Valencia have qualified for the Champions League that they won't turn up.

These are 2 teams rammed with quality, and quality footballers are winners.

Sevilla are overpriced as well, but i'm not pushing it to 4.
 
Phase one of my treble has weighed in!

Now for either Zabarajad or Dunboyne Express (I done two £5 trebles with just this horse swapped around) in the 3:45
