Well done FiftyP.
Hope you did the tricast. JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I did not do the tricast because I have opinions about every race, or feel like I should have an opinion and I should put a bet on an Irish track when I’m watching. That’s how the bookies get their hooks in you. You feel like you’re due a winner, when even breaking even is something you should be happy with. I’m down 10.6 points this Cheltenham, including a few parade ring bets I shouldn’t have placed, but I still had a great Cheltenham. Some guys can make money from horses, and it’s a way of life, but many can’t. Many destroy themselves for it, and they can’t support themselves, or they don’t have the support of friends or family, who might be at their wit’s end. Other people enjoy the posting on forums, and having a few beers too many, and cheese, rashers and bread for dinner, and don’t put their entire worth on what is a sport. And they don’t let everything rest on escaping forever with gambling, or getting one up on their own demons, or alcohol, or even worse. I’m glad to have this week with you lot. It’s a very special week for me, one I’ve enjoyed for the past three years as my circumstances allowed. Some people’s circumstances don’t allow the kind of joy and freedom we all have. Some hit and are hit with gambling, drugs, alcohol, sex, or simple bad health, with no-one to help them through the turmoil they’re experiencing.
Nathan Hughes, god bless you, it was only a pick of some horses, but good on you for being willing to give up ten quid and get a bit of chat going. If you could donate the £10 to the Cork Simon Community, a community right at the edge of dealing with homeless services I’d be more than thankful. They have a website, https://www.corksimon.ie/ There’s a donate button in the top right corner and I’m sure you can figure it out. Really it’s from all of us who are so lucky to be blessed that we can watch an amazing week’s racing and talk about horses online.
(My big speech after my first Cheltenham win
)Looked a great cause so I bumped it up to £11
well done again… Blackbeard to conquer the World
Thanks, Nathan! I’ll try and commit myself to at least ten days of clean living (until my next paycheque, plus one) and therefore being able to spare €11 for the Simon Community myself.
Yes, I just realised it was in Euros which is about £9.48
Sorry for skimping, I thought I was giving more..

Well done 50p!! It’s my betting ambition to win Nathan’s Starmix…someday! I have had great fun this week with my 50p each ways, true you don’t need to bet big or at all to enjoy it especially when there is such a feast of racing and fabulous horses to enjoy.
