And it’s just been announced that Kenny has picked up his Jackett for the final time at Millwall to boot.

Swanny, Arsene is to football what Mr Henderson is to horse racing, what Mr Cameron is to politics and what Noel TidyBeard is to Deal or No Deal. Namely, the leading light.

Oh Lord, alright Sir Barney. It is the best manager's job in football, must admit. Bayern Munich could learn a lot from Arsenal in this respect. Haven't counted, but they must have had about 18 of them the last 20 years or so? OK, Bayern honour their trainers' contracts of course, but it's no job for their respective CVs. Very happy that Jupp Heynckes is doing so well this time around as Bayern have treated him abysmally in the past. Jupp could well win the lot this season before his (enforced?) retirement end of June. Good luck to a thoroughly decent man.

I must get this one up early as the price will get wiped out pretty quick I feel, I see this going off around 5-4

Lingfield
4.10 Magique 2-1
I have actually backed it at 15-8 as I do not have a Corals account but they currently go 2's. In my book even money will be a decent bet as this horse is running off of 73 and I will be amazed if this horse does not prove to be much better than that.

Sad to say the writing was on the wall after the first couple of furlongs - the horse pulled for his head for a whole mile and unsurprisingly had nothing left at the finish.

I put this up on Monday's thread but the horse was pulled out. Whilst I feel the Yarmouth 4.20 race it has now been entered in on Tuesday is harder and has less exposed opposition the horse may still be worth a small each way at the same price. I will certainly have mixed emotions should it win as it was my fourth horse in a yankee with three winners today. Should it win Tuesdays race it would have been hard to see it not having done the same if allowed to run in the Windsor race. The same thing happened to me a couple of weeks back with Spillway being pulled out only to win the next day in tougher company. To make things worse he beat my selection into second in the tougher race he won as I deserted him.

Windsor
3.30 Pixilated 14-1 EW
I was told to back this horse on it's debut last year only for it to finish third. Although at the time I just thought nothing of it I realised that it was well intentioned info when after that defeat the yard put it straight into a listed race where it was beat into 6th by Sir Prancelot. After this it won it's maiden unchallenged by 3 1/2 lengths and was then put into the Windsor castle at Royal Ascot, where it was beaten soundly. It then ran underpar once again and a pattern started to emerge explaining the debut defeat, as it does not like give underfoot. It has since ran twice on the all weather and failed to shine but by the style of it's victory in the maiden at Yarmouth you can tell it's a galloper liking a straight track. There is a question over fitness of course having been off since January but I feel the ground and track will suit and that if this horse genuinely has anywhere near the ability once hoped it can take a grade 5 race at Windsor tomorrow, it's an each way price so worth a bet I feel.

placed 3rd at 25-1 - I feel that performance would have won yesterday's easier race at Windsor.
 
Didn't you have a tasty little treble yesterday as well Ste? Quite a nice habit to be getting.
 
I love Fallon Bob and I agree he was the only reason he won.

Watching him this last couple of weeks I think he is back to his best.

well done Joe, and well done Nd on Bold Ring, although mine was the one who just failed to get past you.
 
Me likes me trebles alright.Normally one of them lets you down but from a punting perspective i've been doing fairly well with this strategy so i'll stick with it for now.
