Fair play for joining in rednazThanks for the warm welcome. Keep up the good work
Been reading for some time now and nowhere else comes close. Certainly socked it to the bookies today anyway. I could definitely do with harnessing some of the knowledge you guys have. And who knows I'll maybe throw a donkey or two in the mix if I'm feeling luckyFriendly bunch on here most of the time rednaz. Good to see new posters too. Dont be scared to tell us what you fancy, no judgement on here. Hope we can continue to help in the fight against the bookie foe.
A couple of bumpers for me to play with tomorrow.
Siding with the Hendo runner WHATSWRONGWITHYOU 9/4 Ludlow 5.45. Weakened quickly when a beaten favourite at Kempton on debut and needs to settle better this time. The stable have a fine record here with their bumpers though and even the Skelton horse looks like modest opposition.
Far more interesting race at Chepstow where Pipe and Greatrex have horses with obvious chances. I am going to stick my neck out though and side with a trainer not particularly recognised for bumper winners. I simply cannot ignore the fact that DESSINATEUR 9/1 Chepstow 5.25 is a full brother to the very useful Une Artiste as well as have two other siblings that won their bumpers. Venetia can have one ready first time out and the 9/1 looks too generous to turn down.
Well done, Stick, me old love. OUT-STAN-DING. Puts you in good form ahead of the big £50k Newbury Bumper on Saturday.
What the Champion Elect, Mr Henderson, does next with Whatswrongwithyou will be most interesting. The 6YO is now a winner in the pointing field and of a Bumper. He looks an excellent prospect for hurdling and then ultimately over the big ‘uns. I’d wager that the old boy will now cash in, make a tidy profit, and next time he appears it will be in different colours. Maybe a private sale to one of his established owners.
