Fit and going ok at home but still with the tendency to switch off. Strong handling from the jockey is the order of the day. On his best form and behaviour I would be tipping him but Kempton was awful.

Cheers, I'd be backing him anyway he's got to be worth a go ew, if he puts it together he's gonna go in one of these days, he's definitely good enough. As always appreciate your honesty and thanks for replying
 
All the best tomorow guys. hope your horse does you proud, gets home safe and then maybe a prize money benefit!!!!

Annoying, was told last week PP is expected to win at Windsor today but like the 3 ****ters on Saturday, the weather is probably gunna cause havoc in the end. I know from before this horse doesn't want it soft it wants it firm, so i imagine it will be scrapped unless they wanna get the mark down as its already gone to good and still raining in Windsor now.

Should boost Chelsea's Boy chance in the 4 20 @ Windsor though, huge price @ 10/1, the Stoute horse is ****ing ****, hilarious the price is 11/8 tbh, would lay it for all it worth, Chelsea's Boy loves good / good to soft, and should get back to winning ways under Mr Kirby in the weakest race its ran in a while.

Good luck with Buzz today Stick !!

15:00 Brighton - Sarangoo

(Rarely have a bet on a Monday, but cannot resist Jason 'The Donkey' Jones Handicap at Brighton <yikes>. Agree with Rudebwoy on this. Selection is a Class 4 C/D winner by 9-lengths (June 2015) in similar ground conditions. Am ignoring LTO at Kempton, hopefully not to my cost. Took generally available 11/2).

Good luck with Buzz, Stick! <ok>

Morning, morning. Good luck with Buzz today. But what, I say what, do Coral know?!? 10’s available in several places yet they only go 7/1. To use that terrible Chav expression, ‘What’s occurring???’…

Let’s hope he has a clearer run at things that old boy Stargazer did at Ascot on Saturday. Cor blimey, knocked this way and that when they turned for home.

Good luck, all.

Chaps, an up and down life for me at the moment. Those naughty burglars came back last night and tried to break in again. Thankfully no bricks through windows and they couldn't get through the locks before I had the chance to wake up and confront them but it put us both on edge again.

Does anyone have any recommendations for home security bits and pieces you're using at your places that I could invest a pound or two on?


Also, the wine business website launches today.

If anyone wants to support me and the business it would be hugely appreciated.

Take a look if you get time chaps. It's all craft, artisan producers. Basically light years ahead of the sugary guff you'll get in any supermarket but i'm buying direct from the producers so i can keep the prices reasonably low.

Bob: That's really tough for you and your wife, it is hard to believe they would dare to come back. All security devices plus installation costs are of course bloody expensive. One idea, probably useless, is a couple of lights placed on the roof with suitable trigger points on the ground, which sets off a floodlight effect when actuated. Burglars don't like floodlighting. Anyway, hope it does not happen again to you.

Oh, and the very best of luck with your Wine venture. Unfortunately I only drink beer, and the missus awful Rosé plonks from Lidl or Aldi :emoticon-0101-sadsm.

Sir Barney:
Have seen this word Chav before, but never bothered to look-up its meaning. Just now I did:

Chav
Noun
British - Informal - Derogatory
A young lower-class person typified by brash and loutish behaviour and the wearing of (real or imitation) designer clothes.

Interesting, sounds like a young Wall Street or a City banker? Would they say something like "what's occurring???"? That's a strange expression.

@Bob, good luck with the wine business, definitely looks good, like the info in the blog, too.

Galway 7.05-Lilly the Lioness is in terrific form over the last few weeks and should be tough to beat here.Crucially she has course form as she won a hurdle here last year and should handle the ground conditions.I'm taking her to go in again at 3/1.
 
This 6 week holiday lark is hard work for us parents who are getting on a bit! Back to school tomorrow. Hurray
I'm having a little play on Dynamic Girl at Brighton (2pm ) and This Thyne Jude at Perth ( 2.10pm )

Good Luck

( oh, and best of luck to Buzz )
