Thanks for the info GC,
Count me in.
Hang on a minute, my beloved Boro play Sunday afternoon so I will be bladdered by 8:30pm
Jeez, I will have to ask my partner to help me, her name is Google, but after 8 pints, she is very slow indeed.
Maybe you should ban me from the quiz now
Mike
Oh…
I can though, reel off every Derby winner from 1895 – 2007 ( without notes I might add
) but that’s of no use whatsoever in this particular contest, I should imagine. 
Oh well, guess I shall just have to wait on Bruce Forsyth or Matthew Kelly reviving You Bet.
Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
Sounds good GC. I’ll pop in if I’m around an internet-worthy computer at the time. Although it’ll probably be mostly for the banter, as I’m sure my knowledge will be nothing compared to all you hardened veterans!
i would like to be included, as there are possibly questions about point-to-point can we have some on west percy and milvain or ratcheugh please, chipmunk……………the answer is TARTEVIE……….i hope
the answer is TARTEVIE……….i hope
LMAO. He tried his luck in the Scottish National as well one year, didn’t he?

yes grayson it did, i had a large bet at 200/1 (it was somthing ridiculous like 4 stone out of the handicap) my thinking was that this horse was virtually unbeatable at alnwick racecourse (my second biggest win was on him at 7/2 when i was 14!!! 6 weeks pocket money) the track at alnwick has a long left handed climb to the finish and i could imagine him running on through the fading field to pinch a place………sadly not but it is still one of my favourite horses,chipmunk
NB it was the only time in my betting experience i have seen fear in a bookies face…..lolcount me in gc.
last sunday in the month is usually "sex with the wife night" but any excuse to keep myself locked in the study will do.I’ll be there! I might buy a bottle of wine too, and pretend i’m actually socialising.
Might make my answers more accurate too!yes grayson it did, i had a large bet at 200/1 (it was somthing ridiculous like 4 stone out of the handicap) my thinking was that this horse was virtually unbeatable at alnwick racecourse (my second biggest win was on him at 7/2 when i was 14!!! 6 weeks pocket money) the track at alnwick has a long left handed climb to the finish and i could imagine him running on through the fading field to pinch a place………sadly not but it is still one of my favourite horses,chipmunk

I seem to remember Tartevie was a mile out of the weights, yes, but you’ve got to be in it to win it and he was too much of a patent safety to have disgraced himself on the day.
What do you make of Alnwick as a course, btw? I’ve never been there (or any other ptp course further north than Easingwold, shamefully), but I know plenty of ptp folk who speak very highly of it.

One hour to the start of te quiz, people. Preparations are well under way – the sparkly suit and insincere grin are both being dusted off as we speak.

Is the quiz in the forum or in the Chat.
