:emoticon-0100-smile Sort of reminds me of a guy called Terry Ramsden in the '80s who made a fortune and then lost the lot (20 million quid or thereabouts?) on the horses. Think he owned a Mr Snugfit who finished fourth in the Grand National in 1986. He backed it heavily, luckiily e/w I believe, and then remarked after the race "needs 5-miles"!!
 
Swanny, I also remember a national horse called "Just So" that the trainer remarked it needed 5 miles on heavy. I backed it big e/w at 50's ante post and only just got beat by Freddie Starrs horse Minnihoma trained by a certain Martin Pipe and ridden by Richard Dunwoody if memory serves!

Ah yes, Mick, I remember that National. What part of the world have you been sailing in lately? Anywhere better than the North Sea, I expect you would say? Those rig workboat crews are real seamen, I must say, really take my hat off to you guys.

Morning all
Falkenham
405 carlton ryan 9/2 2pts win
Sandown
140 master vintage 6/1 2pts win
210 dream bolt 9/2 2pts win
315 rathlin rose 2/1 4pts win
240 ms parfois got 22s but putting 20s up as thats available online . This is a 5 horse race but it can go 1 of 2 ways the fav colins sister is evens and watching both of them run over at Warwick there really isnt much between them so just the 1pt win on the rank outsider as there really is no ew value there for me in this race even at the big price.
Good luck all who play

WHATZDJAZZ 7/2 Fakenham 4:35
Really well bred to be a bumper winner being a half sister to Klepht and Welsh Shadow. The jolly sets a good standard but the Skelton boys can produce them ready to win on debut so this fella gets the vote.

Ahhh, Minnehoma. My first foray into the world of gambling/racing - as a 12 yr old my mum put 25p eway on him for me <laugh>

Should have quit while I was ahead because I've been wasting my money ever since <doh>

Been a while and hope we are all well - only 4 weeks to go guys and girls and I've still a few antepost slips alive <cheers>
 
OR of 139 over hurdles? I dunno ..................... Coral Cup? Last run over hurdles off 126 and, yes he won, but up 13lbs?
 
The good Dr knows all. Just like Charlie he wants to get the monkey of a festival winner off his back asap - unlike Charlie he knows what's required. He knows he has to be 20 lbs well in to get there - otherwise why bother - especially with a syndicate horse where people are perceived to want lots of runs. The Dr is schooled impeccably (not even Barney gets even remotely close) - and can see VR going close in the county is the ground was good.
