To be honest there are plenty more races matching your description but this is the most recent I could think of. Matched at 1000 on betfair

I'm sure no one here does listen or follow BornetobyWilde on his tips in this forum or the gambling forum but he has been deleting and editing posts for a while now(after his tip loses). I've pointed it out to mods.

This is just a word of warning to take no heed of his 'inside word from the yard' lark.
I know it's not the end of the world but it really frustrates me that someone somewhere might be putting a euro or two down based on information he is clearly fabricating.

Ya I've seen this Craic going on for awhile now deleting tips that don't come even close to winning the ban hammer would want to come out for this carry on.

bit of a bogey

Agreed. Mods are too harsh on posters winding people up or even talking nonsense in discussions but there is no place for lies/back tracking aftertiming on this forum

Just after reading the John Oxx stable tour on ATR, Michael D Higgins has an unraced 3 yo Pivotal filly with him. My opinion on him has improved quite dramatically!

sdoc13

Jesus Hugh Taylor and Gary O Brien are on some hot run lately. Taylor got 2 out of 2 today and Gary chipped in with a winner with his only pick. I dont follow them often particularly as the price evaporate so quick but still some going lately,

tomaussie

Think Everton, Villa and Hull treble looks very good today.

Add WBA for a nice 16/1 accum.

Would like to see Newcastle go down.

Peintre Celebre

Does Wayne Bailey still post here

sdoc13

I hear a train a coming. CHOO CHOO. PC you spot the 1 you have been waiting on entered saturday.

sdoc13

Another double for Hugh Taylor today. Lycidas advised 9/1 SP 8/1 and Yorkshire Dales advised 8/1 SP 5/1.

Peintre Celebre

I see one Sunday. All aboard

the groutch

almost certain what horse it is

tomaussie

This looks a steal.

The legend that is Steven Gerrard is 7/2 with Betfair to be sky sports MOTM today. Next best price is 7/4 with William hill.

Remarkably difficult to find.
Go to Football / Specials, then within that you'll eventually find a 'Gerard Anfield Farewell' section.

To be substituted against Palace 1/4
To be booked 15/8
To score a set piece 3/1
To cry on camera 5/6
Man of the match 7/2
To score and kiss the Camera 8/1
To miss a penalty 16/1
To announce he isn't leaving 16/1
To Be Sent Off 20/1
To Score an Own Goal 25/1
To thank Jesus in his Speech 33/1

Only one I was interested in was MOTM. Tried €20. Told max = €0.13. Decided to keep it gentlemanly and not go for max. Tried €0.12. Told MIN = €0.13. Took that! Be the most satisfying (and worst hourly rate) €0.45 I ever win!

Go to the bookie office. Hand over cash. End of problem.

You legend. Fantastic stuff.

Cheers P C, needed that.

You the man PC, you the man.

Tubberadora

Excellent shout. I put it in a docket against my will! Looked exposed and previous form poor enough. I suppose it was dropping in ratings and the break obviously did no harm.
I got word for Get Home Now in the 3.40 MR. Few bob for it too. Hopefully that comes in to make a nice double.

sdoc13

Superb PC well done and thanks

Thats just class with the advanced warning and all.. Fair play.. I never though to look at this tread..

Peintre Celebre

Thanks lads glad a few of ye got on. Touch wood the next one will be Friday at Cork. Choo Choo.

One I backed last time out, Sleep Easy, being backed early doors in the 7.00 at Sandown tomorrow.

Same connections (and uncannily similar profile as a 2yo) as Arab Dawn and if he improves to anything near the same level as that one he will be winning this. Yard also had Atalan improve in a big way on his second run back yesterday and also won this last year with another very similar sort in Vent De Force.

Purchase your tickets please the train is leaving Cork tomorrow CHOO CHOO


There'll also be a train next Tuesday. Merry christmas

Jembatt has been given a big chance by the handicapper and is now 15lbs below the mark he won a good race at Tipp last year off and is down to his lowest ever. Ran a nice race returning from a break last time at Naas faring better than the bare result having travelled quite well but he's entitled to improve with fitness. 14/1

I had a look at the entries after your heads up n that was the one that stood out. Have followed best of luck.

I thought you were going with Little Arrows. Seems to be well in, pulled the last day, will like the ground and a big claimer on board.

FWIW: saw on Twitter that Coolmore have named a Galileo x Lahinch 2yo Sean O'Casey - apparently a name they've been saving for some time

The were also saving JFK ....:pac:

fancy enigma code in that one, but spotted him too late to bet.

curioser

The head-on view is painful.

Peintre Celebre

18 runner handicaps always come with their risks. Looks like he'd have gone very close if not for a shocking ride.


Nothing can be done about that. Touch wood there'll be one Tuesday

Nonoperational

If that's the way all 12/1 shots we back run them we won't be long cleaning up. Unlucky.
