    In case you missed it the Ten to Follow Weekly Results was updated yesterday. Don't forget you can request any details you like about your own selections, or any general analyses.

    In the 1630, Southern State make his debut having cost 225000USD. However this is just over half of what House of Mirrors cost. Alfred Hutchinson for me though. no bet.

    I love your avatar, Gorgeous George.

    I hadn't realised till just now that Lough Derg was retired at the end of November, (I thought he might be, after that last run) I really must try and keep up.

    There's a really nice piece about him on David Pipe's website.

    Happy retirement Lough Derg :)

    Alfred Hutchinson! boom.


    In the next at Wolves I've selected a larger priced beast, 20-1 shot Stamp Duty e/w. No bet again (am staying strong :D) . H.Taylor's tip of the day Lean Machine goes in this after a 196 day lay off. 16-1 this morning, around 7s now. Jockey change on bottom weight Bentley, with a 5lb claimer now taking the ride. Could be decisive....

    <laugh> Epona. It was actually all the talk about your avatar that inspired me to try and work out how the heck to change mine. took about half an hour but i got there in the end! It's great to see really gutsy horses who run their heart out and the way Lough Derg won some of races, making all before getting headed and still fighting back is magical stuff. More like him please racing gods! I will look for the article on Pipe's webiste now :D . I remember reading an article by Tom Scu in (possibly) the Times after the horse had retired saying how Lough Derg was one of his most favourite horses and thanking him for all the horse had done for his own jockey career.

    some nutter has won the first 7 out of 8 on his 1 pound e/w accumulator with hills on todays racing. 7 winners so far!! If Strike Force wins he gets almost 900k. If he places he'll still get some, if not he's 2 pounds down!!

    The annoymous Somerset based punter will scoop 875k if Strike force wins the last at Wolves and 500quid if he places. Probably changing his underwear as i type!!

    Gentlemen (and Ladies), some firms have now priced up the Argento Chase and I think there is an enormous error in their midst. Captain Chris is available at 6/1 and I think he should be nearer the 3/1 mark. I have taken some and advise you do the same.
