    Not me, Nass, although a race time itself interests me! Sectionals might mean a fair bit on the standard tracks in North America, but on the amazing variety of courses in the UK and Ireland, etc., they don't mean so much. As for Ken Hussey, his speed figures pointed to loads of winners, just ask John Brown (former boss of Willie Hill), he liked a private punt too and swore by Ken's figures. John Brown really took Corals to the cleaners many times with no small help from Mr.Hussey, although he never did quite manage it with Ladbrokes.

    Just zero down here in the banana belt, Oddy. I noticed how damn cold it was up there. When I lived in Norfolk we used to get that east wind, uninterrupted as the county is as flat as a pancake. Cold as hell.

    Hendo Henderson has one entered, at this stage, in every race at Kempton on Friday. Is he contemplating going through the card?!? Could be the achievement of our age, people.

    This first race at Kempton looks really difficult but according to money has turned into a 3 horse race which is intriguing as two Kyle of Bute and Bapak Pesta ran against each other last week and the other one Waving is in turn for his win, two Bapak and Waving are drawn badly while Kyle of Bute is drawn perfectly, all have been backed.

    I am going for Waving.

    A fascinating race from the jockey point of view as of the three Spencer decided to break fast and come across, Waving decided to tuck in and save energy but had to give Spencer 8 lengths head start in last, whilst Kyle of Bute had no such decisions and just sat behind the pace. As much as I hate to give him credit, Spencer got it right. As for the market getting it right, 1st, 2nd and 3rd the only three backed.

    Pay the Greek 7.50 KBacked from 7/1 into 7/2 P/P, is from the very shrewd, in form yard of Noel Quinlan 3 from 7 (43%) last 14 days, he last ran in races at headquarters when sent off 66/1 & 50/1 last summer. Making H'cap debut off a mark of 47 in a race that wont take much winning, he is obviously expected to do much better tonight.

    PS. Strange betting on this race the Fav Alumina available at odds ranging from 6/4 Boyle, 9/4 P/P, 11/4 (3.75) Bfair!

    Good Luck!

    Easy skankin for Artemis, thanks for that one, had a bit of my hard earned on at 4's & in a Dbl with PDG, so it's onwards & forever forwards to the 7.50

    Good Luck!
