My horses for today:

Sheikha Reika Ascot 3.20 Generally 2-1 win

Bolder Bob Haydock 3.35 around 9-2 Ladbrokes 5-1 Coral e.w



Any one with any football bets for today?

This place is turning into a virtual reality town centre.



All we need is someone to start selling second hand 1980s Kylie CDs and copies of Alan Titchmarsh's autobiography for charity, and someone with a usename of ishoutatpigeons posting white-lightning inspired philosophies and the experience will be complete.

You can sleep in the driest doorway if you like.

Near bottom weight in handicaps at haydock today whatever the odds. It's peeing down relentless. It's a mudfest

Ha ha. A burger shaped burger van and the spud wagon.

Budge up in that doorway, Morrissey.

Did tell you.

Bottom weights in the sludge at Haydock...always.

You didn't name any horses, just made a general comment which told me nothing.

At least I gave you two horses to avoid.

I gave you the winning formula for Haydock in the heavy wet.

I also told you not to bet Growl until the Ayr Gold Cup.

Come on RD that's about as general as saying always back the good doctor or bet the jockeys with a blue cap.



You said that you didn't think that Growl would win, fair enough it didn't, but it was only beaten by two necks.



It's easier to say what will not win, as you've got the rest of the field in your corner, than it is to say what will win. So, for the fun of it, I challenge you to tip two horses next Saturday.

I do 3 goals or more in the footy had 3 up so far £9 and two £17 wins at a quid a line...put in a tin and see what we av come may...pays for trips out on holiday and duty frees in airport..I.ll put them on here next week so you can avoid em like the plague.if anyone's interested..

Pro jockeys can get as almost as little or as much as they wish.

2/3 necks to a craftsman horserider can be like a casually pacing behind a medium distance runner and doing enough to qualify for the final.

That's all Hannigan was doing... Keeping the horse so much in the frame as to prove his ability amongst horses around that class.



You can believe me Hannigan could have won that race if connections wished....so much so, that you convinced put him as your tip.

But I already knew the Good Doc had Growl entered in the Gold Cup.

If he won at York he'd be hit with a 7lb pull....how will that benifit him in the race?
