No gambling for me today, off to Newbury tomorrow with me new hen so I is going to be skint (and well snattered) by 4pm tomorrow!
 
.................. and back. This board wants a good seeing to!

For all Wonderful Charm's obvious claims I am hopeful of a good run from Ray Parlour's equine double in the next at Newbury, 13-2 currently.
 
No luck for the Romford Pele, who jumped worse than the Brazilian Pele. Comfy win for the Nicholls horse though, despite not being foot perfect.

Still trying to work out why Ballicks is taking a hen to Newbury - is he expecting the winnings to be chicken-feed?

Niceonefrankie for me, next up. Did well for me LTO and I think he can go in again even with the penalty. And I have a whippet called Frankie, so it's guaranteed, right?
 
Today is progressing in the same way that yesterday did. One from six appears to be my current strike rate :(

Carole's Spirit carries my hopes and wishes in the next Newbury event. :emoticon-0133-wait:
 
Doubled my winner ratio! Good gutsy performance under Touchy's urgings and won going away.

Last one of the day will be Wilde Blue Yonder, one in my tracker and looking to have been given a bloody good chance today. I'm on at SP last night and 9-2 this afternoon <ok>

Tried to find Triumph quote on this one before the off time but no one is quoting it. They will be in 15 mins time and it will be a piss poor price!
 
Well I'm not sure that was a Triumph winning perfomance, but he won well enough having made a horlicks of the last. And a winner is a winner - eh Pbrain?

3 from 6 today lifts my averages as well as my bank balance. Good luck anyone playing on <ok>
 
12.30 Newbury - Chocola. Alan King writes on his website: "I have made no secret that if we have a real Triumph Hurdle contender in the yard then Chocala is the one, and we are looking forward to getting him going in the juvenile hurdle there tomorrow. We have had Chocala since he was a two-year-old, and he won twice for us on the Flat at Nottingham and Chester, but he has looked a natural over hurdles from day one and he could be quite exciting. He enjoys cut in the ground, too, and the track will suit him."
You can't get more positive than that <ok>

3.45 Newbury - Wilde Blue Yonder. Nice little Alan King "Barney Rubble". Here's what the master of Barbury Castle says: "Finally, Wilde Blue Yonder goes for the maiden hurdle. He is a horse we have always liked, and he won his bumper well at Uttoxeter. We have been very pleased with his schooling at home, and we are looking forward to getting him started, too."

Also like Carole's Spirit in the mare's race <ok>

I would say "2 out of 3 ain't bad" but that would put everyone in mind of that fecking awful Meatloaf song ............................. oooops <laugh>
 
R Woody should take all the beating in the 6:55, Form figures at Wolves = 7201 , In the race where he came 10th he missed the break, was on a very high mark yet still only finished 3 lengths behind the winner. The 2nd he was close, and the 1st was the most recent one last month where he beat a lot of better horses, now fresh from a recent break should be much fitter and better and should win again round here @ 12/1
