I'd like to see Tetlami go well too Ron (or even Oddy! <laugh>). Only because he wouldn't see which way Simonsig went!!! <laugh>

Not quite Newbury this is it?!
 
Odddy - looked really well. Travelled superbly - won on the bridle no luck in running but Gerraghty just waited
 
Settled on inner in midfield, steady progress 4 out, short of room and switched 3 out, challenged travelling well approaching final furlong and quickened clear entering final furlong, comfortably.
 
really impressive from tetlami there. Geraghty makes me nervous, i didnt think he was going to get a run for a moment then.
 
Quite tempted to open an account with Billy Hills to get some of their 20s for the Supreme on Tetlami - anyone any experience with Hills online?

I could bore you with a very long story, the short version is I had a Hills a/c during the 2006 footy World Cup, took quite a bit out of them on cricket while they were focussing on football, after the world cup they closed my account.
Opened up a few dummy ones in friends/family names, 2 bets in they start restructing me to pennies.
Beancounters not bookmakers....

<laugh> Better keep it below a tenner then Grizzly <ok>
 
It would appear the betting market at Kempton is getting it just about right, two 2nd favourite winners and a favourite all of whom were worth of a punt.
 
4.25 Kempton. Woolfall Treasure (Nap)Come on lads, get some of this. Here's a 100 rated stayer on the flat- only Secret World is better than that and he's never won beyond a mile on the level.
Woolfall's second to Ile De Re in a Class 2's at Ascot and third behind Highland Castle at Salisbury (over 2 miles and 14 furlongs respectively) gives him a great chance.
The others have achieved nothing near these two, and 10/1 (Betfair) and 9/4 place only look an outstanding bet. there's no way he should be 10/1.
 
What a terrible days racing Southwell's slow motion sand racing and jumpers running on the flat for exercise.

That moan aside i think Decider is way overpriced at 14-1 in the first at Wolverhampton. The weight turnaround taking claims into account with Grand stitch is nearing on a stone and yet that horse is 5-1.

Wolverhampton 5.10 Decider 14-1 EW

Kempton 4.55 Harvest song 40-1 EW (4th)

Blue, I enjoy days like today had a cracking day with some really nice priced winners and placed types, got to be happy :D
 
Cheers, Woolcombe, I got 9/4 a place on Betfair. Pity he didn't win but can't complain with a decent profit. I think he needs a stiffer track but is on the decline, I think:emoticon-0148-yes:
