    Anyone going to York this week ?

    Tomorrow (Wed) is a fantastic racecard so I'll be there. Looking forward to a brilliant day after seeing a much improved performance and a win from the lads tonight.

    My horse racing knowledge is limited at best but I fancy Idaho in The Great Voltigeur Stakes, should be around even money. It's one of three Aiden O'Brien runners in a 6 horse field so I'll be looking out for any late market plunges on his other horses before placing any bets.

    Anyone else got any tips info etc ?

    Giving it a miss this year... Cutting down on my betting habit!
    Besides the £55 it was each into the posh seats last year makes it a dear day unless you have a good day with the bets!

    Agreed it can get very expensive. Entrance fee, beers, champagne and the kicker for me is the £60 taxi home after getting hammered in York and either missing or can't be arsed with the train.

    Need to win £300 just to break even !!!!

    My eldest went and claims three winners and a three figure profit.

    Tip for tomorrow: Found @ 8/1

    Thanks for the tip,

    Think it's about 2/1 but if it wins still a good bet.

    Another great day out in the sunshine.

    Didn't quite make the aforementioned break even point but still well up on the day.

    Anyone going tomorrow ?

    Was worried about today so only small bets.

    Pleased to hear your son had another good day.

    As this seems to be a private thread why don't we arrange a meet up after a home game ?

    You too Doha...it's only 7 hours away !

    Not going to the dog botherers game but always happy to meet fellow sufferers for a pint pre match.
    We will be having a proper meet up at some point ( the paddies flights dictate the game). You are welcome to join us, but it's a long day and might get messy.
