    I must be Mad Francie, but I am doing Mad Brian at 40/1 in that race. I know one of the connections, they really rate the horse, but it has had lots of problems and may not have the ability it once had.

    Lads why is Jamie codd not a pro jockey he is a quality rider


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,339 ✭✭✭convert


    If he became a professional, he wouldn't be able to ride in a point-to-points, which he really seems to focus on, and is probably the best rider. Since 1999/2000 season he's had 812 winners in point-to-points, 3566 rides. That's excluding any rides/winners on the race course.

    Completed, safe to say I'll be cheering for the NEP to complete the '1974/1 8-fold'. Predict either a HC+3 draw or just a total whitewash by the Patriots.

    There's a deference between best and most winners. For me there'd be no doubt over who I'd prefer in the saddle.

    For educational purposes I presume. You dont need a "sub provider" or an internet connection.

    The encryption system is broken and the keys are in the wild.

    There are idiots out there selling these for 800 yo yo's. The boxes cost €20.

    My box is connected the 28.2 and Ive a line for my Sky including Racing UK HD ;)

    Few tracks gone from SIS now though.

    From the start of 2017, the TRP service will provide pictures, commentary and data from all of the racecourses previously owned by Arena Leisure (Doncaster, Lingfield Park, Royal Windsor, Southwell, Wolverhampton, and Worcester racecourses). Coverage from Fakenham, Hexham and Towcester will be added to the schedule from May 2017, with 13 more racecourses (Bath, Brighton, Chepstow, Ffos Las, Fontwell Park, Great Yarmouth, Hereford, Newcastle, Newton Abbot, Plumpton, Ripon, Sedgefield and Uttoxeter racecourses) added from January 2018.

    Ladbrokes dont have the rights in their shops for the channel so theres been no Racing from the above tracks in Lads for the past few weeks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,380 ✭✭✭STB.


    Yes copper I know. TRP is on 4.8E.

    Dont ever use what you described you are using for betting in running. Its miles behind.

    That ladies and gentlemen is what you call a game of ball.
    28-34 to the NEP in O'Time (for the 1st time ever).
    This game makes rugby look like bridge.

    ah it's only bunches of numbers at the end of the day ,on the aul calculator. Wouldn't like to multiply them using the horsey-fractional system that's for sure. Thank goodness for the Hindu-Arabic decimal numeral founders.

    Didn't look at the exchanges during that Superbowl but can only imagine the Patriots must have been well up in the triple digits before the 28-3 deficit comeback and win.

    You mean 1,105 winners. And would you please tell me where exactly I said he was a "bad" rider? All I stated was that I would prefer Codd riding one of my horses, green, novice or otherwise, rather than O'Connor. Simple. Personal preference of horsemanship style.

    No bigger certainty in a bumper than Derek O Conor being out the back hate punting him on the track gave up years ago when he does ride one.

    Anyone want tickets for the Leopardstown Gold Cup on Sunday? Stan James are running a competition, giving away 10x2 tickets every day until Friday. Hardly anyone entered, so you have a good chance at winning. They will ask for a stanjames account ID to get you your tickets, but you can just create one.

    Kempton 5.50
    Swendab @ 6/1 should go close running in his first class 7 contest, he usually races up with the pace and is a good battler which is important in class 7s.
    He was 2nd in a class 6 last time and has been in good form, if he gets out in front I don't expect him to be passed, the only danger is the fav.

    Ya surprised powers went that high they usually err on the side of caution with Irish horses (and probably right). Seamus wouldn't be sending it over for a view of the Irish Sea

    Wouldnt say they laid more than a 100 quid at 25s.

    Prob true I've had 100 on a 16 or 20/1 shot in shop night before and it's moved it. Score with VC from a restricted account was enough to shift them
