THIS IS NOT A TIP-REPEAT THIS IS NOT A TIP

Imperial Rose in the 7.20 tonight, Ruby on it, favourite, looks nailed on? Thinking of slappin my entire wage packet on so need advice!

Well done to you young man. did you slap it in the end or a sensible punt on it?

Hate that !!!!

Anyone any tips for today?

girt_giggler · July 27, 2007, 10:52:45 AM

didnt watch any racing last night bar this one, think he still would have won even if the other horse hadnt of fell, nasty looking fall by the way.

i had 20 on it for interest. havent looked at any but a horse i like, Reverence, runs in the first at ascot today so might have a try.

Our Nail Loney · July 27, 2007, 12:02:17 PM

Aye thought it would win as well girt but your other horse was pushing her tight, too tight for my hundred quid!!

Sonny Red, first race at Ascot, should be good price.

Colonel Cool · July 27, 2007, 12:54:36 PM

8.30 Fairyhouse - Mamma Morton

I got a sizeable bet at 5/1, now 7/2 last time i checked.

could make for a pretty nice weekend!

Any tips or fancies for Galway?

Homer · July 30, 2007, 01:56:04 PM

Fellow punters,

How about we do a bit of a competition for the Galway Races?

Everybody starts of with a pot say 300 bananas, and maybe have a max-limit of 100 a day. Each day everybody posts there bets and there balance and the leader at the end of the week gets crowned the top napster.

There'll be no prizes for the winner(s) but if they have any fate in their knowledge they should be in decent shape at that stage anyway.

Just an idea for a bit of craic.

If its too late to start today we could leave it til tomorrow
