The Great British Weather
In my last post I waxed lyrical about all the fun I was going to have on Good Friday at The Betfair Lambourn Open Day. Well, the best laid plans and all that......On Thursday evening we went late night shopping at Tesco in Oxford to get some nice picnic items for the bank holiday day out. We spent a pleasant hour or so roaming the aisles locating goodies to pop in the hamper before heading home, preparing the sandwiches and scooting to bed ready for an early start.
Good Friday dawned and off w…
Betfair Lambourn Open Day
Long time no speak, dear readers.
Apologies from me. Been a very busy couple of weeks getting my new accounts set up, moving money around like a mob launderer, managing heavy betting commitments and general time sapping nonsense. No excuse though, my loves, I need to display a higher level of commitment to you all and I promise I am working on it!
The title of the post refers to how I will be spending my Good Friday. Getting up nice and early tomorrow to attend The Betfair Lambourn Open Day (blood…

Unfettered Wagering and A Word for Paul Nolan
Just a short few lines today, dear friends, as I have a busy day ahead of me.
Hopefully this afternoon, I will be acquiring a fresh set of bookmaker accounts and will finally be able to bet freely again.
Something very few of the tipsters and system peddlers will ever tell you (except as a back story showcasing their "incredible tipping talent") is that as a professional bettor one of the biggest problems you will encounter is "getting on" to any meaningful sums at best price. Show even a modicum …

Cheltenham - Bah Humbug!
I may be something of a curmudgeon but I am tired, tired, tired of hearing about the Holy Cheltenham Festival.
If I receive one more e-mail offering me tips or trends or analysis or inside info for "The Festival", I might just scream and smash my monitor. Enough is enough is enough. Don't get me wrong - I find the spectacle of the very best horses competing for the very best prizes as fascinating and exciting as the next man. The glory of it all will keep me glued to the box every afternoon ne…

Oh Woe is Me
Once in a while a series of events occur that seriously test the faith.
I have just had a weekend that would test the faith of the pope himself!
I know other peoples bad beat stories are tedious but I need to get this one off my chest.
It all started swimmingly on Saturday afternoon with a pleasing win on Clova Island in the 1.30 at Kempton. A good omen for the weekend you might think. I settled back to enjoy the Saturday racing safe in the knowledge I had played a good hand and got some tasty ear…

Not A Bad Run....
Last week I told you about my little piece of a filly called Obvious
Well, she ran last week and finished 8th of 13. Not all that promising you might think but a closer look at the race might indicate some hope for the filly.
She raced in third for most of the race tucked in behind the leaders before being asked for an effort in the last couple of furlongs. She picked up quite well, actually hitting the front about a furlong from home before running out of steam.
It would seem that a mile is a touc…

My Little Piece of A Nag Runs Today!
A few months ago I purchased ( along with a syndicate of 50 others) a filly called Obvious. She is trained in Newmarket by Julia Fielden and runs today in the 5.00pm at Kempton.
The syndicate is set up and run by a friend of mine called Matt Bisogno who also runs the horse racing website www.Geegeez.co.uk
She runs today in the 5.00pm at Kempton and I am really not sure what to make of her chances. Her performances to date have been slightly disappointing. She has had one run since gaining her hand…

The Pressures of Life Etc....
Here I am again
Since my last post, a New Year has arrived and is already well under way.
Where does the time go?
I made myself a promise back in September that i would be posting on here several times a week and put my selections up on a regular basis.
As you can see I broke that promise - but there are mitigating circumstances. Since my last post, life became incredibly busy and I let things slip on the blog.
I have been away on holiday for a couple of weeks, done some consultancy work, then Christ…
