Brilliant card Johner. Some Tikket could be well handicapped, Le Vant could be above average

Was hungover so didn't go. Always liked Some Tikket since his bumper win. Wouldn't have even realised he was running until you said it. Absolutely danced in!

US masters this week. I like to do a few each yr in the majors. I've spread myself thin for some very small ew stakes on this lot. All each way Cabrera, Jimenez, Moon Bae, Huh, liessman. Amongst the favs kuchar/day/stenson would be my picks but for the buttons I'm putting on I've gone for the longshot value.

Patrick Reed and Day for me so far!
Rory leading after round two might be another.. lovely round today.

There will be one bet for me in the Grand National of Golf and that's the ole stayer Cabrera!!

Has finished in the top 20 in 8 of the last 14 years and top 40 in 11/14. Has the bottle which is half the battle round Augusta.

Cabrera ew @ 50/1 (6 places with Paddy Power)

BumperD

You'll note Cabrera was first on my list. Had him 7th and 18th, missed his win and 2nd and no money back when 7th. So I've added a few others this time. It's definitely horses for courses at the masters. Davis love 3 also often plays well around there.

Chelsea - PSG. I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea came out storming and won the first half, then PSG fought back in the 2nd half. Chelsea - PSG half time full time is 33/1. Tempting....

Ive dipped my toe into the world of footy betting on a rare occasion. I cannot recall collecting very often so im just watching tonight and as a Man U fan, hoping for a miracle but resigned to a likely loss.

Hold Court runs at Ludlow backed it at 7/2. Can anyone check what his highest price was on odds checker can't on mobile

razorhead

Urban, he was best priced 4's with Bet 365,PP and WH early hours and then went 7/2 with PP @ 8.29. Bet 365 went 7/2 @ 7.48 and 3's @ 9.18

BumperD

Oscar Pistorious's version of events has more holes in it than a block of Swiss cheese.

Do you fancy Hold court Urban? 3's generally now and down to 5/2 in places.

Think he is well handicapped but not one for too much faith. Solix looks my main bet of the weekend price dependent tomorrow.

UrbanSea

Hold Court very strong. Hendersons was 2/1 fav earlier you can get 5.3 very weak. Ghost of a Smile strongest of all could be a touch landed if he wins

Edit knew I recognized that horse. Landed a gamble two starts back when I fancied Sarando

razorhead

Hold Court held on to win in a driving finish with Speedy Tunes!

UrbanSea

Heart was in my mouth alright. Had betfair up in running he any from 1.14 to odds against. Still a nice win first proper bet in a while. A bit of that onto the well handicapped Solix tomorrow

Have had Best Boy Barney in my tracker since he finished 4 1/2 lengths 3rd behind Chatterbox and MTOY in a Introductory Hurdle at Newbury. Horse has done feck all since but surely is capable of winning a chase around Fontwell off a mark of 90. Plenty of money around for him overnight so got on at 6/1 earlier. Ive promised myself that this is the last time im going to back this fella.

Obviously enough hoses in today and i aint got a penny on. Plus Hold Court goes in. Well done to those who were on Hold Court.

jimjamcos

Well done and thanks Urban, had a small bet on HC.

Colonel Sanders

Well done Urban

Will you rename the thread to encourage Solix tomorrow???

Unfortunately couldn't get on at fancy odds so left it. On the sauce instead tonight

Was sad to hear that Johnny Harrington and Mrs Weld had passed away today .both were deeply involved in the racing industry. RIP

I see jezki is the only non Mullins horse entered in the Irish champion hurdle...
What a joke...

Colonel Sanders

Took some evs Athletico to beat Chelsea at home, missed the slight odds against there had been. Saw 2.03 with Pinnacle & a few Oddschecker firms were evens but blue.

The second I got a text saying they'd drawn Chelsea I knew I'd end up backing them

If anything you'd have to say if any of the British trainers had brains they might target a race like this to win rather than aintree or Cheltenham

London marathon at 9
Paris Roubaix from 11

Christian Eriksen is now the danger to Ade being top scorer at Spurs. He's 3 behind, and in form.
Ade missed a pen today, the worst pen of all time.

Fairplay to him for getting away with it. Best of both worlds, he has.

Urban, are you on Cristoforo tomorrow?

ste2010

Looks like there could be a Dennis hogan affair on today at wetherby. It's a long way from Tipperary.
Guessing which one will go in is another thing but I'm pretty sure it'll be the one in the 6pm

Had a small bet on Liverpool yesterday at 6/4

I've since showered twice but the dirt isn't coming off

Won't touch one of O'Briens this early. Any that win are serious horses. Keep an eye on Palace and the grand daughter of Urban Sea that won the Guineas trial as a result

It's crazy. Rodgers has done a fine job. It's in their own hands now.
