    You have me worried now lads. Was thinking I'd done well taking 11/4 against Call to Battle. I know DL needed the race when behind my selection so I just hope he doesn't reverse the placings today. Looks like the money is coming for your selection. Sod it. Looks like I'll be showing a loss after today.

    David Livingston for me today as well can't really add more seeing as most appear on, 5/2 is reasonable.

    Do you think they should start the winter jumps in May/June now instead? We are having the worst weather for the flat so far, shame seeing such fast good horses tryining to slog through, hard to have a punt with any confidence also.

    The card at Chester today have been decimated, which makes my selection in the 3.05 BORIS GREGORIEV 25/1 not such an attractive EW proposition, however, i will half my stakes and hope he gets up to win or at least grab 2nd

    Jeez its hard enough trying to pick a horse but all these withdrawals its doing my 'ead in...<grr>

    Anyway my picks for Chesters swimathon...

    1.35 - Kings Warrior, 9/4
    2.05 - Questioning, 5/2
    2.35 - Call To Battle, 9/4 - Looks like im in the minority on this one...
    3.05 - Gabrial, 13/8
    3.40 - Annaley My Darling, 4/1
    4.15 - Whisky Bravo, 13/2
    4.45 - Calaf, 5/2

    Good luck if you play this afty, as its only the only one on then it certainly cuts your options down a bit... Swimming trunks, arm bands at the ready...<cheers>

    Ryan Moore going so wide entering the home straight on King's Warrior at Chester surely cost him the race. <doh>

    After QUESTIONING PRINCE SIEGFRIED at his home WIGMORE HALL whilst searching for GLENS DIAMOND he said the HUNTERS, LIGHT fingered and he may have hidden it at MA CRETS, I'm hoping to get it at MYPLACE LATER

    God I would never have got Junoob in!

    He is not the brightest of lads as did the same yesterday when getting second on the Magnusson horse, but clearly thought today would do the same and expect a different result. Someone needs give him a call and point out it's Chester on very heavy and not York on Good to firm. I have not been impressed with him of late sadly but was top Jockey around 3 seasons ago.
