backed calculating and marmooq in kempton today.also backed figaro flyer and hucking heat in wolves. gramhan gibbons has a few rides in wolves today always trys his best on a horse and nearly always places any long odds he does ride.so keep an eye on him today.
By any chance does anyone know when dundalk is starting up again?

Good man Rossie, support the local boy

An All Weather track would be handy in Ireland with fixtures at a time(such as around now) when anti racing weather could be expected with the likes of Thurles being called off amarach.

I thought Dundalk's track was all weather...

It is yeah.

No more all weather tacks please, if I wanted to see cat litter I would go to a pet shop.

I saw that it was out last night lads and it was 4/5 i was thinking about backing it but the 12lb penalty was throwing me a bit so i didn't post it up again today. My money was made on it the last two outing when i got it @ 7/4 and 2/1. It will be a while now i would say before it will actually win because the handicapper will now slate the horse. However it was good while it lasted. My advice would be to lay against it the next day it is out.

picked out 8 horses yesterday to consider backing! all 8 bloody won. I ended up picking 5 & done a lucky 31! When the first horse went in (RIver Kirov) I went and stuck a cheeky 5iver quad on the remaining 4 horses!

£238.80 off the quad & £237.80 (before bonus added) off the lucky 31!

Not bad for being bored in work & just looking something to pass the afternoon!

Good man Girt, well done...

Well done. How much would an accumulator have paid out?

girt_giggler · January 08, 2009, 10:04:34 AM

on the 8 horses or on the 5?

cavan4ever · January 08, 2009, 10:05:35 AM

on the 8

girt_giggler · January 08, 2009, 10:43:05 AM

would never have done the 8 in an accum but if had of it would have paid £6144 for the £5 stake.

More than happy with what I will go to pick up at lunch time off the hot girl cashier who took the bet yesterday who will land herself a £10 thank you!
