    Just reinvested a small portion of the Shantou Village winnings on a daft e/w ante post yankee for the Cheltenham Festival:

    RSA - Black Hercules 25/1
    Ryanair - Cue Card 12/1
    World Hurdle - Thistlecrack 20/1
    Champion Hurdle - MTOY 20/1

    If all 4 win I promise to buy the forum a horse <ok>

    There is a sliding scale in my view for distance equation.
    1m 2f on on flat - 2m over hurdles
    1m 4f on flat - 2m 4f over hurdles
    2m on flat - 3m over hurdles

    Not an exact science but close enough

    Very disappointed as feel Shane Kelly just cost me a winner at Wolverhampton. He took 3 length out of the field and then just coasted home hands and heels and never went for the whip and got caught on the line. Very poor ride.

    Had a few tips this week , didnt post them on here because im not really into horses. So here they were

    Mondlicht ... told ignore if raining / i did
    Abbreviation ... Won
    Lyric Street ... Fell
    D'niro... advised to lump on / i did (he pissed it)
    A Hare Breath ... won

    So heres the elephant in the room.

    Is racing fixed ?

    I really dont care if it is as long as my buddy keeps texting me winners.
    But how can someone "know" the horse will not be beaten today as was the case with D'niro ?

    I agree there's nothing 100% but it seems to be 98% with the risk of falling or as in D'niro case 99.9999% because the jumps were out of the equation.

    As I said I'm not complaining I'm up a nice few euro this week.

    Great to see Danz Gift finally living up to my hype <laugh> got him wrong at fancy prices during the summer on unsuitable ground but he's clearly a classier animal on a sounder surface.

    Bosnia Ireland tonight, gonna be an uphill struggle for our lads, good few injuries to key players. I'd take a score draw and run to the Aviva Monday.

    STH I'm being very unpatriotic and have backed Bosnia to win 2-0.Pjanic and Dzeko have been linking up well at Roma and I'd expect them to give our defence a lot of problems

    No room for sentiment when it comes to betting ste <ok> Ireland will definitely set up to play a hold up counter attack, I can't even see them getting much attempts at the goal where as Bosnia will be going hell for leather at their spiritual home in Zenica. I hope your wrong as I want us to qualify.

    Any team that plays Glen'Zavi'Whelan deserves to lose!
    Small wager on Captain Midnight in 8.05-Won at course last week and should go very close again.

    Barca are coming in with a 50 million bid for Whelan in January there looking for someone to pass it back to the keeper every time he gets it.

    There are some players who have seemed to of carved out a half decent football career despite being severely limited and lacking the basic elements of playing the game the right way.I will add Robbie Savage to this club.

    Nice touch landed today with the Pauling beast, hope he comes out of the race well. Pauling had his own fan club at the races, was great to see.

    More Of That was impressive today, beat a fair yardstick with some ease. Good days racing and very close to being a very fruitful day too.

    Have you been wronged by an Irish man or woman lately Stick?

    You have of late been having "cheeky" pops at them...generally pejorative...perhaps it's all just "banter".

    I quite like the chaps...have no choice given my location currently!
