Rummaging steps up to 10f in the 8.30 new trip looks sure to suit and is surely too big at around 12s. I quite like the chances of Bollin Line 1.50 around 6s and Times In Anatefka 6.00 (mouthful of a name what the hell does that mean) about 7/1.
Amazing, the kids have gone to bed no problem and not a peep out of them, ditto the missus, so why not have a look at tomorrow's cards with a glass of Rioja. I think I'll start the day tomorrow with the following : Robin of Locksley, 1.40 @Chepstow Bollin Line, 1.50 @Catterick Free Running, 2.00 @Lingfield I'm still not confident enough to multi bet, so they're all singles and as usual returns with these mean I can look down each of the cards later on. Good Luck!
Are the Brookhouse horses all away from the Pipes? I know they seem to move theirs quite frequently, Henry de Bromhead inherited a few last season from Philip Hobbs. I see old boy Mulholland has one from the Pipes, none other than former Imperial Cup winner BALTIMORE ROCK. This beast runs tomorrow at Chepstow 2.10, he's 6/4 which I think is more than fair in this contest. I've had a go.
Trains and British people. It's Friday, people should usually be more happy than usual so you would think slightly more forgiving on public transport. However, as I travel into work this morning there is a packed train- not a seat in site BUT then I spot it. You know what I mean, right? A real champion amongst numpties has decided to sit on the outside seat (aisle seat)- reserving the other seat for his bag. I immediately decide I'm going to ask for that seat. After all, logic dictates that on a busy train with people having to stand, you don't give a seat to your bag if you remotely resemble a decent human being? I get closer- I say "excuse me am I okay to use that seat"- but we've got a clever one here. He's got his ****ing headphones in, reading the paper. I've got that awkward two-second decision to make now. Do I tap him when he is 'mid-newspaper read'? There's also half of the coach now looking at me like I'm some sort of Spartan of the early morn commute, all fully intrigued by what the outcome will be for this brave man who has dared to challenge the bag w-anker. I go ahead, he gets the shoulder tap. There are eyes lit up across the carriage. He begrudgingly stands up, moves the bag, and I can sit down. Begrudgingly! As if I'M the mental one! I'm in, and the relief is huge. However, I'm getting looks from passengers like I have just stolen the mans dinner money. I'm getting the "have I just actually seen that?" eyes from the dated suit and tired eyes of your Monday-Friday IT-maintenance worker (**** it- we are stereotyping now it's too late) What have we become? No one speaks to one another. Everyone's on phones or wearing headphones. And we're so ****ing insular that we even sit on the outside seat o a packed train to ignorantly put our bags on the inner to prevent the possibility of even having to entertain a human to human communication. Welcome to Britain- at times the most bizarre country on Earth.
I too get the train most days as i am required to go to the London office some days- the worst is when you have a sniffer or what I had this morning a loud gum chewer- it's like get a ****ing tissue and I have actually offered one before and he took it but didn't use it and continued to sniff - but anyway public transport NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED !!
The outside seaters are the mental ones indeed! Do they not see the big specifically designed shelf above them? Also why does there have to be 9 muffled concerts broadcasting in each carriage? If you want to listen to music please feel free but I dont need to hear it! Nassau - you forgot to mention your driver!
I like the first and last but will go for Discoverie in the 1:50. It's got weight on the field and faded in the last 2 mile so the trip back may suit. I still class myself as a newbie, racing watcher though so I don't have much confidence in my predictions!
