£40 down overall, not sure whether to bother or not for the rest of it.

Could be worse, could be that guy that had £500k on Douvan.
I wish I was that guy cos anyone who's got 500k spare to throw away can't be doing too bad. What a ridiculous bet from him. Putting half a million quid on a bet and relying on a fucking animal
I wonder if it was the same punter from Tuesday who stuck £400 K on Altior.

Ok, a bit of a card for today...

1.30 - Yorkhill 11/8 - stable can't keep being shit can they?
2.10 - Impulsive Star 9/1
2.50 - between Empire of Dirt and Uxizandre for me. Leaning towards Uxizandre 4/1 but might end up having a go on both tbh, we'll see
3.30 - Unowhatimeanharry 11/8 has won me plenty of money and I'd follow him off a cliff
4.10 - Thomas Crapper 9/1 is my bet but Bouvreil looks a good price as well
4.50 - Let's Dance 11/8, see first!
5.30 - Squouter 6/1, be daft not to follow Jamie Codd after his fantastic rides yesterday and I think the Codfather will do it again, but of it wasn't for Codd I'd be on Mall Dini

Not looked at tomorrows card yet, but I fancy the Bookies may lose out with Uniwhatimeanharry and Un de Sceaux in particular. I'll probably back Empire of Dirt in the Ryanair, mind.

I'd probably be even more up if I'd have backed EW today, but I never do. Thought Neitzsche had it in the penultimate race, last jump cost him big time.

When I first started drinking in my local about 17/18, I remember a regular in there, old boy who used to watch the racing in there telling me 'Anything over 5/1, do ew. You've always got the chance to get your money back'. Now, I haven't always followed that mantra but it has stuck with me.

As for today's racing, I'm still struggling to get excited by anything so quite content to have a day off at the moment.

Then just like that, a tenner goes on a Top Notch/Empire of Dirt double. :ffs:

Well, I didn't expect UDS to stay that trip on that going, especially pulling like that. Where did that come from

Used my E/W winnings on a UDS/Lets Dance double so hopefully that'll come in.

Oh decent just seen the results, I put a treble on Yorkhill, Un De Sceaux and Unowhatimeanharry first thing this morning.

Just the last one to go then for a 20/1 treble winner.

The big bookies have tightened up their odds this year, I had a class Cheltenham last year but struggling to get anywhere near that total and I'm not even "gambling". :lol:

Well I hope someone had a decent day because that was a fucking nightmare. I don't know if it's just sour grapes but I am fuming at Bryan Cooper and his riding of Tombstone yesterday and today Empire of Dirt (more his placings of the horses during the races)...he kept that pair so far back they little to no chance of winning. Now contrast that to Road to Respect in the 4.10...won @ 14's? Ah well....Cue Card or Native River in the Gold Cup....decisions decisions!

can't mind who the jockey was but he was interviewed on tv and basically said the horse had no chance due to the weight the handicapper had allocated to it....

Then apologised straight after the race :lol:
It didn't affect me as I wasn't punting it but that was a kick in the bollox for anyone who was considering it!
