The best week of horse racing in the world is here  :pint:

A few of my main fancies for today have either moved races or aren’t running, so I haven’t gone big on any of these, but below are today’s picks.

1:30 - Firefox
2:10 - Found A Fifty
2:50 - MeetingOfTheWaters
3:30 - State Man (Short odds. Really like the betting without State Man market and going for Irish Point at 13/8. He was my strong fancy for the week in The Stayers Hurdle until they moved it)
4:10 - Lossiemouth
4:50 - Liari
5:30 - Embassy Gardens

I have 4 of the above in a Yankee, the 2 short price favourites in a double and Liari as a single.

Good luck all.

If anyone is local to the Nine Elms in Shaw, they are open from 1pm and have London Pride on @ £4 a pint.

Tullyhill in the first

Good luck all. Here is a link to free bets for anyone interested

Done Excello in the next e/w pays first 7 places

Liari was a disaster!

2 1sts, 2 2nds and a 3rd
Pretty good work

What are peoples tips today then?

Had 3 winners yesterday

My pet societal hate #shudders#

1:30 - Ginnys Destiny
2:10 - Cleatus Poolaw
2:50 - Stage Star
3:30 - Teahupoo
4:10 - Saint Felicien
4:50 - Brighterdaysahead
5:30 - Where It All Began

About as good a day as me !.

Not a dime today

Went yesterday, still a decent day out although the coke market is pretty brazen and getting out of control there. Maybe i'm just getting old and grumpy as i'm past the stage of partaking in the occasional Class A for social fun

A winner and couple of places meant i was generally even for day.......until you account for the booze!

I'm the most boring person on the planet, but I've never seen the appeal of coke personally. Generally the people that are out of their face on it are just really irritating. Each to their own (as long as they stay out my way! :) )

Who needs drugs?  :no:

* that's not an offer by the way, I'm questioning why people bother. I can make my own enjoyment.   :)

It's just a normal part of society these days.

You could say the same about Alcohol, who needs that? Tea teetotallers can make their own enjoyment.....apparently

Done Zenta in the 14.10

Been given a little wink towards Gaassee in the 8:30 at Kempton tonight.

Hopefully increase the funds before Cheltenham on Tuesday.

Well,  that wasn’t a good investment ! .

Yeah, shame.

Thought it was looking good at one point.

Miniscule profit as I took it EW. 😀

New thread needed, unless you're betting on last year's races?

Will probably start one over the weekend when the declarations are in for Tuesday.  :pint:

I'd still lose

Try reading back 4D !!.  🫢🫢🫢

Not long now chaps…..

Picks for tomorrow are:

1:20 - Kopek Des Bordes
2:00 - Marjborough
2:40 - Henry’s Friend
3:20 - Lossiemouth
4:00 - Still can’t pick between Constitution Hill and Brighterdaysahead
4:40 - Beyond Your Dreams
5:20 - Transmission

Bet wise, I have Kopek Des Bordes and Marjborough in a double that pays £380.
The above 2 and Lossiemouth in a treble for £400.
And Henry’s Friend, Beyond Your Dreams and Transmission in an each way Trixie.

Fingers crossed, and good luck all.

I’ve lumped on Kopek des Bordes in the first - with a little supplemental on Salvator Mundi

Avoiding the favorites today, had a place EW in the first.

Nice start. £120 up after the first.

Suspect a lot of acca's have toppled off the back of that!

First 2 winners in my 6-fold have come in so far

What a run by Jango Bais at the end

Oh dear Constitution Hill

And if they didn't before they have now.... Thought I had it in the bag after that with Brighterdaysahead but it was not to be....

Did a treble today using the free bets

Springwell Bay
Jagwar
Home by the Lee

£5 returns £1045

This is a shit festival!

Its been a bit meh hasn't it, the shambolic starting not helping (a combination of the jockeys and the starter being to blame for that!)

What are people going for today?

I’ve gone balls deep on Galopin des Champs at evens.

Like Pinot Gris in the 14.00. Done e/w @ 17.0.

Out of interest, how is the Prize money for a winning Horse distributed?

Presumably it's divvied up between owner, trainer and jockey?

I saw Brighton's owner Tony Bloom was the owner of the 100/1 winner in the first race. I bet even his shits smell of spring flowers, he can literally do no wrong when it comes to being successful in sport!

Vast majority goes to owner, much smaller slices to trainer/jockey.

Sigh.

Stupid horses

Bookies having a great time this festival.

I'm gonna stick to football! Utter crap
