    I've had a bet on Toppy and Roto's Orpsie Boy, was uninspired by today's action so having a punt on this one. Goodluck all. Well done Bob, see ya had good winner, fair play.

    Don't worry Stick - how often does that happen? All the bloody time. I'm sure he'll produce something over the next few runs. I think I'd need to see double figures though to get involved.

    Surely it's the Dickie Hughes factor leading to this gamble on the fav in the next at Lingfield. It might win but it's not a 5/2 shot.

    Orpsie Boy was very poor there.

    O'Regan goes to Worcester for 1 ride and im taking the hint - The Firm Order

    Also fancy Twigline who i think is pretty smart to out do On His Own who is carrying a penalty

    Singles and a double - Double paying 10/1

    I did fancy the Nicholls runner at Worcester but forgot about it and i've missed the price as it's now 5/4 from 11/4 if memory serves so i'm not bothering.

    Nice pricer Bob <applause>

    Kempton 8.00 Portmonarch 9/4

    My only bet today, interesting little race, I know ROTO thinks Grayswood is well handicapped but so is Mallorey Heights and they think Portmonarch is a lot better than 75, Grendisar brings solid form into it and you couldnt dismiss the other 2 either. Portmonarch ought to be the best horse in the race though and he looks ready to get the job done.

    Lol!!

    Only took 42 selections this month to get there, nice one 'Profitable' Bob!!

    Stick, you probably see me as not contributing anything as I don't feel the need to gamble and make selections everyday. I also work full time and have a fairly active social life, unlike some. I get the feeling you don't like me because I spoke up in defence of Weasel a while ago. I'm just not keen on keyboard '******s' who if you were face to face with them would say **** all.

    Anyway, congrats dart throwers :D

    only just got to keyboard-- but saw a text from the owners son about oscars close about an hour before the race-- they were hopeful but worried that the ground was too firm-- so it was either win or be pulled up ! so to be fair to Boston he may have heard a whisper this morning--in this case no dart throwing-- but we all know that these things sometimes come off and sometimes not-- as my mate said--we at least know theyr'e having a go !!

    As for me, that 6 20 race is a right conundrum-- lots of dough for the nichols horse-- some keen on webbers, i fancy Dance Tempo --finished behind Harry Hunt lto-- and with Bailey yard too hot to touch-- he must go very close--and just to complicate things more Fergal 'the double' O'Brien has a fair sort getting weight from the others......good luck whatever your choice !!

    It wasn't a dart. I can 100% confirm that and I can 100% confirm I'd not heard anything from anyone. The Champ puts in the work and gets the right results.

    Cheers for the congrats today boys. Tom Scu's birthday and only ride. He's not the only one celebrating.

    chware teg as we say round here-- but they were trying, but his best form is with give, so you can understand their worry regarding the ground--!! the owner has got sick of his mates taking the piss about the horse !!

    That's fair enough was all meant light heartedly I don't come on here to judge anyone, I didn't really realise there was genuine animosity there between the pair of you thought it was just banter and always enjoy the back and forth when you two get into it. If I'd realised there was a genuine issue there I wouldn't have commented at all

    Sorry Badger. I only posted that because I didn't want to be 2 faced. I prefer transparency.

    I wouldn't have it any other way Bob, no need to apologise I come on here for the tips and to post my donkeys ...... I mean selections in hope I strike lucky from time to time I didn't mean any offence and shouldn't have involved myself in it
