Well, today went swimmingly. Trip to Paris and Simenon e/w in the Gold Cup. Time Test and Curvy earlier. Tenner each way on War Envoy, courtesy of Noodles (cheers lad) along with a load of no hoper e/w bets. Tenner each way saver on Space Age at 12/1 and £6.50 e/w on Dutch Uncle (last ) to cover my Dissolution bet and double from earlier. I think I'm about £400 up. With most my bets staked for tomorrow. Plus multiples and a £20 double for Saturday. Bring on Ascot and all the lovely hats. Win or lose, I'm getting hammered tomorrow. Already got £50 on Hootenanny at 5/1. Might go in again........

Easy money. £5 e/w double with Dissolution later and got them at 5/2 and 5/1 as well. Dissolution finished second to that beast at Newbury and I was on the first two that day as well. I think Dissolution wants the extra 2 furlongs, well, I hope he does. So hopefully he gets a place at least, for a bit back.

Time Test in the next. Good job I have Disegno each way. The greedy fucker Moore will probably win again He's actually a really nice bloke. Spoke to him briefly at Brighton races once and know a fair few people who say he's really sound. Just shy in front of the media.

Aye. Ryan Moore. Fuck off Have my fair share of winners backing him of course. But passed on GM Hopkins yesterday, in favour of Spark Plug and now this! If that wasn't AOB and Moore, that would have been about 33/1. No chance on form, but bookies still run scared. Just like the old Frankie factor.

People possibly overreacting to the Sandown form a bit. Log Out Island also beat Buratino by 5 lengths over course and distance. The money has been coming for this all day and Hannon says he can't split the pair. Not that I listen to much he says anyway. Only the one start, as oppose to KoR's two, so possibly even more scope for improvement from him as well. King of Rooks is now an uneasy favourite and got stall 1 and the rail at Sandown, which counts for a lot. I would still just about side with him. But it's a pretty closely matched contest and the more I look at it, the more I'm unsure.

I was doing terribly yesterday. Place laid Cannock Chase, so effectively got my £20 back and a tiny profit and then decided to have it on Free Eagle. I also apparently had a £3 double with that and Acapulco that I forgot about I was on Spark Plug in the big handicap. That didn't go too well glad the horse and jockey are ok though. Finished off the day by having a fiver e/w on Osaila and £12.50 each way on Jellicle Ball. In short, my day was saved by two photo finishes and went from being about 50 down (was betting mostly profit and not depositing) to having just shy of £300 back across Betfair and Skybet. Today looks tough and not a big punting day. So naturally, I've staked about 100 odd quid 2.30 - KoR (multiples), Log Out Island (sky bet money back offer) 3.05 - Time Test, Disegno (e/w) 3.40 - Curvy, Pleascach (multiples) 4.20 - No bet.... Yet...... 5.00 - No Bet. I like Sahaafy, though. 5.35 - Dissolution

Well..... I lost about £60 on that nag ante post for the 1000 Guineas. After being tipped up by all and sundry around Newmarket. Non-runner Done fuck all since and now does that! On Cannock Chase e/w antepost at 16/1 in the next. Fancy Western Hymn for the win though.

Fucking beast that filly. After my shit start, I doubled with Integral and trebled with Free Eagle. Tenner this morning at 5s as well. Still a killer that Ivawood lost. Integral my nap of the week, so better fucking go in! Hootenanny NB.

Staked most my winnings from yesterday. But I'm on Ivawood ante post at 11/4 (thought it was 3/1, oh well) and also got him in a shit load of multiples. He wins the first, I'm not really arsed about the rest of the day's racing. Well, apart from Integral...... Looking forward to going on Friday. I will have to make sure I pronounce it 'ARSEcot' though. Don't want people thinking I'm a peasant or anything.

:lol:

Sir Isaac Newton is Pricewise's pick and will get backed in I'm sure. Ivawood should be winning this though. If not, I think Hathal or Tupi can go well at a big price. His one in the second is Ward's from America and he always sends over some stupidly fast horses. Think it is currently fav. Integral should win, even with the 5lb penalty. I'm on Cannock Chase e/w ante post at 16/1. But looks a really tough Prince of Wales renewal and I'd be happy just to get the place. Not really had a look at his other two rides. But he really is the best around at the minute and for that reason, often gets the best rides.

Well that was rather easy. Fiver double with Steady Pace later, in many multiples for the week and my mate traded me a £25 bet at evens from Ladbrokes earlier on. Enhanced festival odds yesterday. Went round half the shops in Cambridge with his apprentice loading up Good first day. Fancy the Mullins/Moore horse in the next and Steady Pace in the last. Good luck.

Can split it e/w or with multiples. But it has to total £25 I think? Like you can't have a £12.50 single on horse A and the same again on horse B.

Ahhhh. Goldream. Done it at the Guineas meet, won. Backed last time out, got stuffed. Left well alone today..... Just won at 20/1 I hate sprints. They all take it in turns beating each other.

Finnegan N/R Blessing in disguise that and all. Had the tenner on Buratino at 8s. Plus a tenner free bet back off betfair with the SP 3/1+ offer. Backed last time out at Epsom as well. Very impressive both times. EDIT: Basically, what you said in the post above mine

From the betting thread: I'm going on Friday/Saturday. So trying not to go too mental until then. Was at Sandown for a mate's birthday on Saturday and won plenty though. So I won't feel quite as guilty if/when I lose shit loads this week Love this meeting though. The form stacks up, you usually get decent ground and you get the best horses from around the world competing for shit loads of money. You usually get some bankers that can be doubled/trebled up and some nice value in bigger fields as well. Made £1100 at this meeting last year and I'm not a big stakes player or anything. If I make £100 this year I'll be happy, just enjoy the high class racing.

£25 on Night of Thunder in the Queen Anne. Money back as a free bet when the nag inevitably loses to Able Friend and/or Solow. But they're both short enough and I'll be staking more than £25 at Ascot this week! So a bet to nothing really. Air Force Blue and Finnegan in the Coventry, got both at 7/1. Round Two far too short to do as a single IMO. I think Sole Power will get his hat trick of King's Stands wins up and have got him in a few multiples and on the nose, but may also do a single on Shamal Wind, though. As she apparently has a similar running style to Sole Power, in going for home late. May just mug him on the line if good enough. Have to respect the Aussie sprinters when they come over here. Gleneagles no sort of price. As much as he should win, I have a feeling Consort may end up being a very good horse and could beat him here. No bet. The last two races are a pin job and I won't be partaking.

Glad you cleared that bit up. I would have been thinking it may have been after Richie or Blair, if not.

For the record, I actually voted 'Yes' on the poll. Oh how wrong I was.

what is colbacks position? Left back aint he?!........ Yeah, you're right. So many centre midfielders struggle to stamp their authority on a game, score a lot, dictate the flow, create a lot, get a lot of assists etc etc. I suppose you have to be very average at everything to play there and just rarely contribute to anything meaningful.

Only Janmaat and Perez were better last season? Not really much of a feat, when on the whole, the entire team were utter wank about 80% of the time and we had two absolute jokers picking the team and so called tactics, every week. Colback is just another British, generic, nothing midfielder. Pretty average at all aspects of the game. Excels at none of them. Never bosses a game and lacks any style or class. He just reminds me of someone like Mark Noble or Jenas. They run around a lot, score the odd goal, make the odd good tackle. That's about it. Urgh. This current team are a bit shite aren't they?!

So why are they buying her flowers? Did she not want to live/venture into sunderland? So, by getting her these flowers. They are finally admitting to the fact, that sunderland is indeed, a complete and utter shithole and they feel sorry for her, so they're getting her a present? WTF man?! Goosed.

Yeah, kind of my views on it. All very 'meh' but it means I may actually get to set foot inside SJP again. Not that anything will change under Ashley. But I'm hoping the football isn't quite as horrific as it was under Pardew and Carver. Plus, as of yet, I don't massively despise the man, I just feel indifferent about McLaren. I don't genuinely hate him like I did the last two wankers. The bit about Carr is spot on as well. For quite some time, quite a large majority on here would question Pardew's usage of the players given to him by Carr. Hopefully, this won't be the case now.

I actually don't mind a lot of the changes Americans have made to the English language. But I don't get why they insist on removing 'of' when using the word 'couple' in this context. Sorry. This should be in the pet hates thread. I didn't read the rest of your post. Seems as if you're debating with yourself, mind. Everyone else is on about Cisse getting married. You've weighed in with an argument about how s*** he is
