I had Diligent Harry in my now defunct 7!

No, haven't been racing since last spring due to many things.

No, haven't been racing since last spring due to many things.

Enjoy Monday then. I like Taunton and quite a few OG horses run there so I go if I can, usually.

 

[Smitty]

Quite an exciting finish but think I will a couple of quid down today.

 

[Clodagh]

I’m doing terribly. Still I’ve reduced my betting to 10p a race to minimise my losses.

 

[Clodagh]

Tyrrehan Sea (spelling wrong). He’s gorgeous and carrying my 10p

 

[Smitty]

Needs must. Usually put that on Ew but to win when balance is running down

 

[Clodagh]

See where betting on looks gets me

 

[Smitty]

Oh blimey, your betting on the flat. It will be Trap 5 at Wolverhampton next

 

[Smitty]

Try Trap 5 ...

I really don’t normally, must stop!

 

[Clodagh]

Used to enjoy a night out on the dogs back in Essex.

 

[Smitty]

In all fairness, the weather has messed the whole afternoon up really, so do what you need to get through it

 

[Smitty]

10p Ew on 3 here. I can't go wrong ...

 

[Clodagh]

I’ve gone each way on two of them. I may yet make my fortune.

Al Dancer caught several strides before the line, I was cheering him on!

I always feel sorry for them when they lead all the way and get caught. Good race though. No, I didn’t make my fortune!

 

[Smitty]

Glad for AH and jockey, but Al Dancer did a sterling job.

PS: I think I'm £2.50ish down today.

I’m very similar. As I only bet when I’m watching my money is now safe until next Friday!

Charlie Mann purchased the winning horse for them. That's OK then, I LOVE Charlie Mann

Been out today so not seen any but will look at the results. Re the greyhounds made me smile as years ago work client sponsored the big meeting at local track so company invited some of us. Started off with partner in law firm saying along the lines of £5 on Doppy Fred ended up a fiver on the 3 dog. Got down with the lingo. Was actually fun and went a few times.

Lets hope having a full sister being foaled will cheer him up somewhat.

 

[Lexi 123]

Honeysuckle the famous racehorses mare has just gave birth to her first foal yesterday I hope she has a long broodmare career.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Don't usually bet but had a tiny (think pounds) bet on Any Second Now and Intense Raffles in the Irish Grand National - came first and second, far better than I did in person at plumpton yesterday

Hope the Gigginstown horse who pulled up is ok, also glad the same owners horse who fell at the end is ok didn't think he was going to get up

Hope they retire Any Second now he's 12 so will be a nice end for him

Edit - just checked I won four whole pounds!!!
