and finally in the Sun Chariot
two small 0.5pts EW Catherdral 22/1 various and Blue Bolt 15/2

October 4, 2025 at 17:25 #1741196Nick.Big apologies for not coming here on your Thread to wish you well lately Ive been so busy concentrating on my own Thread when I should have paid a visit here I didn’t realise you were unwell and so sorry to hear that you have been going through it lately with a tough operation and onset dementia and want you to know we are all here for you as always.

I really enjoy mulling over Newmarket with you Nick and hope you maybe had a little saver on Fallen Angel today..she was amazing.
My lovely See The Fire 5/2runs in the Prix d’laOpera tomorrow and I have had an EW bet on Qilin Queen 25/1 who is a tough filly and could run a good race.

In the Prix de la Foret Ive gone for
Zoum Zoum 50/1 EW who really needs to step up her game but loves the soft ground and Longchamp has had plenty of rain today. 🌧 🌦 🌂I’ll be cheering your selections home too Nick and hope you see a nice return tomorrow.
My Arc hopefuls are..
Cualificar – EW
White Birch – EW
Aventùre – WINJac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...October 5, 2025 at 08:27 #1741222Thanks Jac
for kind words, the boxing is keeping me afloat and had a nice win on the fight not to go the distance last night.
The illness is one of those things could have been worse at first they thought it was picks diesease(sp?) which is only a year to live but after some nuclear tests that bit was ruled out. Last year have noticed a big change but me and my children laugh about it, what else can you do and i would not change my boxing past even though they blame that for the illness.
Anyway on a lighter front lets get some winners again and Chelsea cheered me up yesterday, btw anymore 50/1 winners lurking about from you. Take care and thanks again for the kind words
October 5, 2025 at 10:59 #1741231It’s so easy to blame boxing for neurological problems Nick but so many who don’t partake sadly are diagnosed.
You are doing the right thing by surrounding yourself with family and continuing to do all the things you love.Well done with Chelsea winning yesterday
and as for another 50/1 winner well it could come in the Prix Foret if Zoum Zoum comes home today I took 66/1 EW for her. 
Look forward to cheering home a few winners today Nick I think your Sosie has a great chance but have pinned my hopes on Aventure with a couple of place bets on Cualificar and White Birch.

I’m Looking forward to seeing
See The Fire romp home in the Prix d l”Opera
I love her so much.
Good luck with Tamfana
it’s going to be a cracking raceTake care

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...October 10, 2025 at 09:14 #1741538good luck Jac, are you off to HQ over the next two days?
scrub that, just seen what you put in your post thats the thing with this poxy illness i dont see things in peoples posts (sometimes) sorry Jac have a great time at Newmarket
October 10, 2025 at 09:21 #1741539christ just seen the price of Composing
October 10, 2025 at 10:18 #1741546In the Dewhurst have again gone along with Coolmore 2nd string. He pulled hard last time out when beaten by some of these and even in the Acomb i dont think he had things go his way. Maybe I am making to many excuses for Italy
but at double figure prices have played 0.5PTS EW 11/1 laddies and BVOctober 10, 2025 at 12:57 #1741559was questioning whether to get involved with this selection but just think now at the prices is worth play with the EW terms on offer
1.30 York Northern Express 0.5PTS at 7s available with many firms and five places on offer (skybet actually have six places) but my sixpence each way would not pass their traders

good luck today if you play, tbh cant make head nor tale of the Challenge or tomorrows Darley
Could well have another bet on tomorrows boxing card, bur will wait till tonights weigh in
October 11, 2025 at 10:48 #1741696padley to stop bellotti is worth a 2PT play at 16/5 tonight on the uncderard of Allen
Bellotti in his prime probably would have been the way to play this fight, but Reece is on the way down while Josh is on a high at present, not the biggest banger in the world but Padley might just hit Bellotti to many times
October 12, 2025 at 11:24 #1741883been a very tough season on the flat for (probably hardest in an awful long time)
+5.4PTS for year so can get a pack of 4 heinz beans
Onwards and hopefully upwards to Ascot and Meydan where I can look into Meydan thread(great chat on there btw) during winter to keep me warm, because with my profit i wont be able to put the heating on

Both boxers won last night but both went distance
+16.6 on the boxing
October 12, 2025 at 11:40 #1741885See you on Meydan Thursdays Nick..we’re splashing out on putting an extra log on the fire and your footwarmers and huge mug of piping hot coffee await you.
See you there 👍Well done with your boxing bet.
