Meydan Thursdays

[nwalton]

Cheers Graham the dementia don’t bother me ( I think ) but the body packing up really is the hard ship for me
But old father time is unbeatable, oh for one more long sparring session.
Anyway good luck everyone today

[BigG]

Thanks Raymo, I’ve stuck to betting my Epsom competition choices,
plus a couple of bets on Rebel Rocker. Glad to see my first choice
just got the head in front, along with Catherine, so it puts us not
too far behind Mickey.

1.30 Ten Bob Tony (Golden Mind)

2.05 Love Dynasty (Pina Sonata)

2.40 Jan Brueghel (Lambourn)

3.15 Lexington Blitz *nap* (Dream Composer)

4.00 Item (Christmas Day)

4.40 Lake Como (Starlight Time)

5.20 Elsass + Spinning Wheel ( Give It To Me Oj)

5.55 Sondad (Strike Red)

Wellington 4.00 Rebel Rocker

Thanks for the competition Raymo and Tracy, it’s a cracker and
I’ve coined it in so far

[BigG]

Here’s hoping Nick . I know you are keen on the boxing,
did you dabble in that area yourself a few years ago ?

[nwalton]

I was not very good BigG but was fit and could take a shot, so I was sparring partner to some very good fighters around the east end area, used a fair bit to sapr Mark Kaylor a west ham lad who won the European title. Sadly he passed last year

Got a bit of the loses back with the first two winners and I was right JB will out stayed the french superstar :
Well done with ten bob Tony as well Graham
They put the dementia down to the boxing (I have my doubts) but if I had my time again I would still box and spar

[nwalton]

Well done Jac ‘Christmas come early’
I’ll get my coat

[Triptych]

Thanks Nick I was over the moon when he won..not so much when Paddys stole £25 quid out-of my winnings but hey I took 12/1 Christmas Day and he went off at 7/1.
Also backed Bay City Roller at 12/1 so it was a good day..
(Both horses in my Derby Competition picks).

Graham you were on fire for the 2 days of Epsom..
Ten Bob Tony ..love him well done and Sondad in the last never in doubt.

I actually managed to make a profit over the 2 days so very happy..
Never seen a Derby Day quite like that when families were heading home before the big race..really felt for them.

Not a Godolphin horse in sight Nick..what on earth is going on.
Jac

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

Cheers Jac, I think we came out of the 2 days leaving the bookies
with glum faces. That nap of yours, Christmas Day, was sensational
(he was my reserve ) I hope Royal Ascot works out as well as
the Derby 2 days. Something else to look forward to. This place
cheers you up whether you like it or not. I’m not complaining

I be going to the Tennis this week for 4 days
Monday thru to Thursday

Hope not get a lot of rain though

[BigG]

Good luck at the Tennis Darren, hope the weather is kind for you.

I’ve got 2 that were down in my Tracker today. Jouster was 6/1 last night
and my other on the tracker is Popstar, who did Jac and I well last time out.
I was going to miss him though as he doesn’t win too often and 3/1 is quite
low so I was going to have a try on Michael Dodds Macedonian at 20/1 who was
running off his lowest mark ever. I bet him but he’s now a non runner. So I
can’t ignore Popstar at 3/1 at Carlisle. I’ve decided to do the double too.
I don’t often bet on a Monday, but I’ll see how these 2 go.

2.15 Haydock – Popstar 3/1 William Hill

7.48 Roscommon – Jouster 6/1(last night) WH

Double 3/1 and 4/1.

[BigG]

Well as I half expected, Haydock was a race too far for Popstar. I would
rather Dodds had left in Macadonian, I fancied his chances more at 20/1.
I guess I was more scared to sit back and watch Popstar romp in but that
never looked like happening.

So I’m back to my single on Jouster at 6/1 at Roscommon tonight. I’d settle
for that

[Triptych]

Jouster and Popstar out of luck this time Graham..get some of those Golf bets rollingin soon..
Hope you and Marjorie are keeping well and Mick look after yourself and hope we can find a few winners at Royal Ascot this year.

I’m still celebrating Christmas Day Graham Not the prettiest of Derby’s but he was very impressive. Now he has to prove he really was the best horse and make further progress in Group company this year.

I’ve been having nightmares about Benvenuto Cellini getting his leg stuck in the stalls, not because I lost 25p on the £ on my winnings but because he could have broken his leg if his leg had been wedged tight when the stalls opened. I’m just happy he’s ok but it seemed crazy to deem him a non runner, took a bit of the sparkle off the race.

Darren enjoy the Tennis..take a brolly 🤪

[BigG]

Jouster took a leaf out of Popstar’s book and finished 4th, he ran a good
race but just didn’t get home. I’ll leave it until the weekend now.Hope you’re
enjoying the tennis Darren, well not right now as it’s 2.25am, but when the sun
is shining. I wouldn’t count on needing your shades though mate .
