    racebets wont let me put anymore than £5.73 on Un De Sceaux at 2/11…. :scratch:

    It’s so bloody frustrating when that happens Nathan. I’ve not had any problems yet with Racebets, although I don’t use them too often, but had terrible problems with Coral. I’ve not placed a bet with them for nearly two years, I was being restricted to bets of 15P !!!!!!, when trying to bet £20. Perhaps you’ve been doing better than they like, which apparently was my case, or perhaps they don’t want to take much in the way of odds on shots. Either way, they are a bookmakers, and should stand their ground…..wimps.

    And what’s up with that? Gives you over a £1 profit, unless you were playing safe and backing £2.86 1/2p EW ;-)

    I really like Argentino in the first, and I’ll have a smaller each way on Vive La France.

    In the next, really like USA, with Jacksonslady equally fancied.

    Quantitativeeasing is too short for me, but he would have won at Cheltenham, so I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t go close.

    I can see Ttebbob running a bigger race than the odds suggest if he gets the race run to suit, and I’ll take a chance on his stablemates Kabjoy, and Sandymount Duke in the last 2 Races.

    I’ve done quite well with them as they only do the horses so I cant give it back to them on other sports as I tend to do with others. My run went Treve in the Arc plus distance bet then a decent chunk on Faugheen, UDS and Vautour at Cheltenham then Limato yesterday. I probably upset them by asking for a price of 1000 for Peacock for the breeders cup classic. They polite told me to do one.

    Nothing wrong with it Homer. I was just excited by being restricted for the first time ever. I thought there was something wrong with me as it’s not happened before but now I feel I fit in with society.

    The Hurricane Fly V Jezki duel is mouth watering, two top notch horses but the nod should go to The Fly. I get no cigar for picking that one out, so as far as the betting goes, I won’t. 15/8 doesn’t do a lot for me, although it could look plenty big enough come about 5.40. As there is just that niggling little doubt about the trip, I think that Mullins Thousand Stars might just spring a surprise. At his very best he would have a shout anyway, although that’s a little time ago as he’s 11, but he comes to this having had just the one run, 3 weeks ago, since June last year. He ran well and was running on well at the end over 2m 4f for a respectable 2nd on his comeback. He will get the trip, he ran a good 3rd (running on) behind Whisper and At Fishers Cross in the stayers hurdle at Aintree at this time last year, and has won over 3m 1f on very soft at Auteuil. I still think HF will prevail, but at 11/1 I’m chancing a few quid on Thousand Stars for an extra bit of interest.

    Good luck all.

    All these years I’ve been backing Uncle Junior and didn’t touch him today. Think I was in short pants when I first won on him :scratch:
