No, funnily enough it is the one titled 'Cheltenham' that has been at the top of the page most of the day

Alot of people talking up cooldine which is running shortly in Thurles...

One of the early Irish Fancies for C'ham....

Hope it runs well here..

Cooldine - Led from half way out and had no problems... Was 4 lengths ahead throughout and looked lonely if anything... Jumped Well and had aload left in the tank....

Looking good for Cheltenham - Into 15's on Betfair from 22's and second fav behind Aran Concerto for Sun Alliance

Happy days - had some of the 15's

had good word for on raglan road, cappa bleu and little shilling tomorrow

See Mickey Lindens fave horse Joncol won there today, very short price though.

Hope Mickeys head wasn't too sore after yesterdays shenanigans to back it...

Heard a whisper for Schofield 3.30 Clonmel. Apparently it has been laid out for a gamble today.

[sammymaguire]

Been told bet of the day will be Archimboldo e/w 3.05 at Ludlow! 8/1
Also, American Star at Clonmel 5.05 3/1.

Good each way double

You know how people say here "this is not a tip, but ..."? Well feckit, this IS a tip - owner Connell says Rock And Roll Kid will win the Lincoln today. Mullins has laid him out for his. 7 pound claimer aboard.

Usual caveats apply - owners can be wrong, trainers can be wrong, sure things can be beaten.

[Hardy]

4th. There's a down side to 7 pound claimers too. Bad ride.

Anyone do a quick calculation for me. 

3 x £2.50 doubles
1 x £2.50 treble

I took early prices....5/2, 2/1, 9/4.

Collected it yesterday, took the money away I went.  Checked later how much I received at it seemed abit low.  There possibly could have been a rule 4 somehwere I'm not sure......maybe Niall you could fill me in..?

5/2 - 3.00 race
2/1 - 4.40 race
9/4 - 4.50 race

[full back]

Should have got around £165
