    The Blue Dog goes for a Hatrick in the 7:30 at Wolves tonight. I know its a horse that has been tipped up on here a few times and i've backed it myself on a few occasions, however i don't like backing horses going for hatricks so i'm going EW on Jamaica Grande 12/1 instead

    Tears from me as well :D

    Jockey was riding a finish 4 out, and although the horse responded well, it couldn't be maintained. But I'd rather have a run for my money, like this, than a start-at-the-back-and-stay-there ride!

    Small ew singles and double on the Nass horse and Morning With Ivan in the 2-15 Muss (sorry Heis!)

    Jockey seemed to make no effort whatsoever then, looked to be cruising coming to home straight, very disappointing!

    Nice place money for anyone who got on at the right price. The site went down last night shortly after I put it up so doubt that nany of you did. Bookies putting gremlins in the works???

    It was placed???

    Jeez, it must have had a rocket up it's arse! Looked a hopeless case as the camera concentrated on the leaders, and watching on bookievision, they don't give much viewing time once past the post!

    I only got 8/1 last night, but small stakes, so hardly worth the bother!

    An absolute Master Class. There is no one who can beat him when he's in this sort of form - you need the modern day equivalent of a Cliff Thorburn, who would safety him into getting bored, and when he's bored he loses interest and concentration. Wish I had one hundredth of his skill.

    I have just been told that Royal Encounter is expected to leave behind his debut run last month in the 6.00 at Wolverhampton tonight. Its not a race I would normally get involved in as so little with form plus when you see those yellow colours of Roger Varian you know you could be up against a very smart unraced horse. Just passing on however.

    this maiden at 6 pm is a bit interesting--some are getting their marks after this, i see Varian has one, and chapple-hyam --his one finished third with Catlin on last time--the horse that finished tailed off in that race has since come out and won at southwell the other day.....

    The trainer is quite confident of it going in again. Said the last 2 and this race have been the plan for a long time. Also said he thought Tee it up tommo would win earlier and it did so, might know what he's on about. If you've backed it last twice, no reason to desert now imo.

    If it wins I won't be too bothered not interested in backing a horse at that price not worth it for me
