    Ut Majeur Aulmes 9/4 Perth 3:50 look's to have been given a good opportunity here after a very pleasing chase debut and with granted improvement should prove difficult to beat.

    Catterick looks to hold some intresting runners today , but my betting wont be big as it is to early . The first sprint looks a little open with the favourite coming of a break . My first instinct was the Griffiths runner trading at 6s now still a little ew value but Mr G seems to plug away shrewdly and has a habbit of getting the best out of horse and jockey combinations so seeing Norton placed on BRITAIN opened my eyes , so with a good look at the form , weights and conditions of all the entries I am more than willing to take a chance on my first instinct.

    Very intresting race stick , and a shame rotos is a nr . I did really look at lady poppy and you are right they should go close today and 20s would have not only twisted my arms but probrably broke it as exeptional ew value .I have a feeling Thatcherite could do the double over lady poppy and trusting a claimer jockey booking took me yesterday ! But as you are on fire and lady poppy does go well I have thrown both and the very useful choc a moca who in the past has run well of a break has an intresting jockey booking and 20s to go with it , into a very small allways tricast.

    Oddy: Your clip was very moving, and, yes, that is what football should be about. Haircuts and tatoos don't bother me all that much, but sneaky/sly/cowardly off-the-ball fouls really do. No use asking those stupid clowns at FIFA to review anything, might as well talk to the wall?

    FIFA too busy lining their own pockets Swanny. 2018 World Cup to Russia, 2022 to Qatar. Anyone taking bets on China getting the 2026 World Cup? Or possibly selling it to a Colombian drug baron?

    Atletico are a breath of fresh air this season they tackle hard and fair and play lovely counter attack football. Probably the hardest working team in the world right now and if they do catch the odd bad tackle well it happens in almost every game I wouldn't be just pinning it on them because they have a higher work rate than most teams and therefore are in your face more than most. The game has become a bit dull globally and Atletico have restored a little faith for me anyway.

    17:25 Taunton - Frontier Vic

    (Not betting at the moment, but would go for the top weight in this marathon. Consistent, and the 7/2 generally available seems a fair-enough price. Young Ryan Hatch takes a handy 7lbs off the gelding's back too).

    Funny, when Tony Pulis does it, people deride it. When Athletico do it, its a breath of fresh air.

    Pulis for Man Utd.

    Sorry, STH, we will have to agree to disagree. The game was unpleasant, and was no breath of fresh air.

    The game last night yes but I am talking of Atletico's season as a hole Swan.

    The Derby trial offered only one real pointer for the race itself which is that not only will none of the horses running today be winning it but highly unlikely to even run in the race either on that showing. I was hoping to see something look a little special with many good yards represented and three unbeaten horses, sadly nothing of note other than the second will come on for the experience and the Johnston horse hated the track.

    You're never going to get a watchable match when Jose and Chelsea land playing their 9-0-1 are you?! Hope for the good of football the Spanish side send that dislikeable prick out. And can't wait to see Brendan's young lions rip Chelski a new one at Anfield- we'll smash your bus to bits Jose :)

    Anyone heard any news on whether Paul Nicholls' is sending over IRVING to Punchestown?? Hoping he is so we can get a better price on VAUTOUR, though I suspect it's wishful thinking to suggest anything other than odds on!
