Apology accepted Bud

[magpie seanie]

Bud, was on it too and fair play to you. was at the dogs in Galway so had to settle for SP. Nearly had a canary with that last jump but it got up well to sneak it. Good man.

[Hardy]

I have to make an embarrassing confession. I wasn't paying attention here and missed Bud's recommendation for Manilou this time and knew nothing about it until I saw the result.

Never mind - we're still way ahead because of Controvento alone.

I wasn't paying attention here

It might be worth paying attention to the 8.00 at the curragh on Saturday night.

[The Real SlimShady]

oh my goodness, whats happening then MD? is Manilou out again? or perhaps Sling Back?

[Hardy]

Thanks maddog. We'll assume this is the one where the owners demand a win - unless we hear otherwise from Bud.

Yeah that sling back is out. If you register with the horse tracker on www.irish-racing.com it will fire through an email any time a horse you may be following or interested in is declared to run.

[AZOffaly]

Does a declaration of 'scratching' mean that he won't be running after all?

Not sure what it means AZ but its still in the race this morning.

[The Real SlimShady]

Scratch means it wont run.

MD, any odds forecast for it?

[never kickt a ball]

Anybody see Fallon's comeback ride last night. Typical powerful Fallon exhibition. The horse just got up at the post after trouble in running.

[Stranworst]

Typical Fallon, knew he would get at least one winner last night, wish I was around a bookies or at leas had money in my Betfair account!!

His other mount came last!!

No rides tonight

[The Real SlimShady]

aye, I'm sure the bookies would have been quaking in their boots had you turned up to have a bet! you could'nt afford to have a decent bet, which would be required on a 4/7 shot.

hello lads thanks to slim and hardy i have made a few quid going on their tips , i have been given a tip for the royal ascot meeting on the 23/06/07 , i have put a bet on the horse and got him at 25's today , I wouldn't like  anyone to loose an arm and a leg but he might be worth a few quid e/w.Will i just tell you the name of the horse or will i leave it.   

[The Real SlimShady]

you may go ahead and let fly, if it loses we might as well lose on it too!
