    Ouch that was hard to take as I put a last minute on Dubai Mirage EW..and had him with Key Victory in the Bonus race to ..
    2nd is the story of my life but can’t grumble as have had a few winners.

    Shame about Chance Graham never really got in it I really thought he would do better than that. :rose:

    Hope one of us got that winner. :good:

    The sad thing about that last one Jac, is that I had Bedouin’s Story (10/1)
    down to win in my bonus race :wacko: Admittedly is was with one other
    but nonetheless I probably should have covered it. So I suppose to look
    on the bright side I do get 120 Points in a week where I haven’t got any
    horses running :-)

    That does make it a bit sweeter Graham..you should get 200 points for the Bonus Race it’s 120 for winning the Handicap.
    I scored 0 on the Bonus Race this week but 810 overall today 2 x winners 650 and 2 x places 160. :rose:
    Probably have to sit it out next week that will be hard. :yes:

    Thanks Jac, I should have realised that, I’ve read the rules often enough :scratch:
    Well done with your 810 points, that’s a decent score, just a pity with
    the bonus race.

    I’ll need to brush up for next Thursday after a whitewash this week. I can’t
    complain though with a 16/1 winner in the 1st week, a 11/2 in the 2nd and
    2 14/1’s and a 16/1 all placed in the 3rd. So I’m still ahead of the posse :good:

    You’re doing brilliantly Graham :good:

    Hey so glad you’re liking Peaky Blinders it was so addictive once I got into it and absolutely love the relationship between Tommy Shelby and Polly and Tommy’s brother the boxer…brilliantly played by all
    You must be well into the plot by now Graham. I’m hanging on waiting for the new series.. :rose: Jac

    Trying to get into The Serpent at the moment but it’s taking time. B-)

    We’re half way through the 4th series Jac, and as you say, it is addictive.
    They perfectly stop every episode when you’re on the edge of your seat and
    something mega is just about to happen. Hence you let it roll on to the next
    episode, and then you have the same problem again and before you know it it’s
    yon time :wacko:

    We’ve always been late bedders, but this near enough constant shutdown has
    got us reverted to student days, up all hours and fortunately we don’t have
    the problem now of parents shouting “what time of day do you think this is,
    get out your bloody bed” or words to that effect. Ah those were the days B-)

    Lol Graham B-) Yes I know what you mean we are virtually the same.
    But thank goodness for Netflix and Boxsets in this day and age.

    It’s Dave’s birthday on Sunday and I have bought him the whole series of ‘Only Fools and Horses’ which includes all the Christmas specials and my favourite ‘Jolly Boys Outing’ Episode.
    We’ve already got through the whole series of ‘Allo ‘Allo, Dad’s Army and Are You Being Served..It does you good to laugh these days but I still can’t wait for Ozark to return and Money Heist.. :good:

    Best of luck with 3 horses comp tomorrow and Neil’s Handicap comp..Some decent racing if it all goes ahead..I need to find another First Flow and Nap him/her..
    Jac
    :bye:

    omg Dad’s Army and Are You Being Served!! :yes: So many good memories….. :good: I missed out on the comedies of the ’80s after I left England. I’ve seen a few episodes of ‘Allo ‘Allo though.

    I’ll need to see if I can find them online somewhere

    Fawlty Towers is very good too
    Myself and Alex have been staying up late and watching the A-Team. Does bring back good memories I still have the toy van and the small toy figures I found at fathers house when clearing it out.

    Andre, Spurs have gone off the boil like Liverpool lately… :-(

    Hello all
    Good luck with your trys today.
    Big G and Nathan thanks for popping in yesterday. :good:
    I only had time to give a thumbs up as I was form reading in between races.
    Interesting ( sort of) race at 1235 at Lingfield.
    Marci Botti’s Valentinka.
    Stable won this last year with Made in italy.
    Same mo this time even the same draw. Stall 10. Two prep races finished 4th and 2nd.
    This time two fourth places in lead up to today.
    Stronger looking race today but has an each way chance.
    Year of the Dragon looks hard to oppose also but an each way double with the larger Doncaster bet could also work even at that skinny price.

    In the opener at Donny 1255
    Corri lindo and
    Oksana have caught my eye.
    OK is out of Midnight Legend and has two good wins at the distance in good to soft off much higher marks. Remember how five Midnight Legends made the top six recently.
    CL is in a rich vein of form
    Each way doubles at tiny stakes for a fun bet.

    Each way doubles riding on
    Oksana and corri lindo so have gone back in and had tiny win singles on both……..m
    Neither oksana nor corri lindo sighted at anytime here. pleased with the Valentino spot though.

    Just a pity Valentika couldn’t have held on for another stride or 2 Sam, but
    a very decent E/W place :good:
