    5.20 Dumbarton

    Showed really good promise when winning at Windsor on his return and today he is 5/2 (I was expecting him to be evens or so) which makes him a very fair bet. Could it be one for Bustino's favourites?

    Yes here in Wan Chai I'm expecting a result but like you surprised at the price. Ballymacoll horses are showing a real lack of speed these days. Dumbarton looked impressive when he won and he should go on.
    The Bustino dollars are down.

    Well that was rubbish. They are not having a good year and 4 winners from originally 35 horses in training is obviously a big failure on their part to breed horses that win races, maybe I should say compete in races. Because they don't. Something is going wrong and many of the horses don't get to the track. They badly need some robustness bred back into the stud. Horses that manage 3 to 4 runs a year are a minimum. I'd wager the average that the Ballymacoll horses manage is nearer 2 runs a year.
    Wasn't worth staying up for was it?

    Going for another big price each way in the next at Lingfield. This horse has done enough to suggest that he can actually get involved in such a race and without being placed to be dangerous last time did not finish too far off horses trained by a different grade to those this evening. Tounge tied first time in handicap

    Lingfield 7.10 Knowe Head EW 40s in a place 33-1 readily available
    only 12's with Hills

    Well done and all that but I distinctly remember you having a go at others for patting themselves on the back when they won. I also rarely see you congratulating anyone outside of your inner circle when they have winners. You might be a good punter and able to use Shakespeare quotes but as a poster you have no class whatsoever. Hypocrite of the highest order <ok>
