    I'll tell you what Cyc. If the odds drift before the fight I'll give you the better odds

    Sounds good to me Ron, I think the price will probably be a lot shorter though, that's why I got in early.

    Said I wouldn't, but will have a small go on the old Melbourne Cup. Don't want to get up early and have no interest! So,

    £50 e/w Almandin please Ron (@the 12/1 best price on Oddschecker atm).

    Thank you, Cyc, was a hell of a race between the first two. Absolutely marvellous ride by Kerrin McEvoy, and by Jaoa Moreira on the second too (he is every bit as good as you said he was some time ago). The first two had the rest well beat. What impressed me about McEvoy was the way he got the horse smartly out of the gate and by the end of the straight had worked his way gradually to a position close to the rail, although well back. He did not panic, and seemed to know that Heartbreak City was the danger, and sat on this horse's tail most of the way? Both first and second gave it all they had, a couple of brave and very talented racehorses. There was some pretty good stuff some way behind them. It is extraordinary how important the UK's Ebor Handicap is as a form guide for any international runners entered for the Melbourne Cup? Not the first time Ebor form has worked out well. The Ebor winner was only beaten a head in this year's renewal of the MC, after all.

    Yes, had 20 euro e/w on the winner at SP (this is just 10 euro short of my max bet nowadays :emoticon-0100-smile).

    Say, what a lovely talented filly that Jennifer Lynn is. Another superb ride, this time by Blake Shinn. Great race that Lexus Hybrid was as well.

    Nice one Swanny. The 10% bonus on the SP (10/1) does not apply as it would produce odds of 11/1 whereas you took the 12/1 available

    VBS is one of those rare betting outlets that punters feel much better when they lose than when they win.
