    Might Bite 1/6 in a 3 runner affair at Donny - any takers? Snow Leopardess looks much more like a betting proposition in the novice hurdle on the same card.

    Also a very nice listed novices hurdle at Huntingdon where the exciting Messire des Obeaux looks to give weight all round to some smart rivals.

    Two divisions of the bumper at Huntingdon - we await the Bumper King's views <cheers>

    A rare site at Thurles too - Ruby on 3 for Willie Mullins and the possibility that none of them will go off favourite <yikes>

    It doesn't get much better than that on a Thursday in February kids <ok>

    The de Boinville boy back on Might Bite of the morrow. Am quite surprised though that Mr Henderson has gone as low key as this event for the horses return following him catasphopic fall at the last with a Grade 1 at his mercy - the 'Reynoldstown' had been mooted. That’s quite a come down – one minute set to oblige at the ‘top table’ the next running in a Class 4 heat! Makes you wonder if perhaps the great man feels he needs this as a confidence boaster before returning to Graded affairs.

    My fancies for the 2 divisions of the bumper at Huntingdon:

    3.55 Passing Call - at the weights I have to side with Alan King's filly who gets a huge weight concession taking on her elders for the first time. She has twice finished behind Shearling and has shaped with promise on both occasions.

    4.30 Mary Eleanor - from a decent family on the dam side and has the champ in the plate.

    These dont look great bumpers me ole mate.
    It wouldnt surprise me if Petticoat Tails were good enough to defy a penalty in division one and nor would it be a shock if the bumper winner Molly The Dolly wasnt good enough either. The booking of Harry Skelton on Pourquoi Moi is interesting but I am taking a stab at 25-1 shot SPARKLING DAWN who has a decent enough NH pedigree to be given an each way shout at rewarding odds.
    Its surprising that none of the yards contesting division two has won a bumper here in the last five years so few clues there. Mary Eleanor has a nice pedigree and the booking of Dickie could very well prove significant but I am reluctantly overlooking this one in favour of SKEWIFF at 7/1. A half sister to Valdez who was decidedly useful and won his bumper emphatically.

    He's still in the county and with Alan King just hasn't run for an awfully long time. Just turned 10 so there is still time to get him back. However, as more time passes you do have to wonder if this will be the case.

    A friend sent me a message with the supposed gamble from a message put on Facebook last night.

    Doubt it is a genuine effort of landing a coup if someone opened their mouth before they even got rolling on it by putting it up on social media.

    Did you place it Ekbalco or just see what it paid?

    All former associates of Curley. I initially received only the 4 at Lingfield. The other 2 seem to have been a further addition this morning. Be unreal if they pulled it off. I'd say if they got 3 to win they would be satisfied.

    Have I read that right - are they offering you 1,893.14 to cash out? Or is that your account balance? I don't use Betfair (you can tell)

    The bet hasn't been placed in that image Oddy. That's account balance you see.

    Can you imagine the entire horse racing fraternity between Britain and Ireland knowing of a "coup" of any magnitude if it was genuine? These guys are all former associates of Sir Barney Curley and putting word out was not how they operated at all.

    Apparently it's a lad from Butlers yard been spewing his guts.

    My attempts at finding two (2) winners (let alone one) have been atrocious recently, but being very much round the bend, I'll press-on with my nonsense.........:mad:

    15:55 Huntingdon - Molly The Dolly.
    16:30 Huntingdon - Majestic Moll.

    Agreed, mine is similar. :1980_boogie_down::emoticon-0148-yes:

    The BET365 account balance has some of the numbers shown there.
    And a decimal point.
    But not so many numbers.
    No. Not so many.
    Oh well.
    Maybe not so similar after all.

    Back to work ...
