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 !!!!
Pleased to report that after a shaky start the break even point was reached. Can you please wish more good luck for tomorrow !
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 ?
No. Eldest went again and managed to turn a small profit.. Had the first winner of the day and the last one
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.
