The Professor’s Follies

[Professortrubshawe]

I downloaded the Timeform racecard for Ludlow. Never used one before: crikey, it’s fiddly.

Anyway. After a lot of squinting:

2nds and 3rds. SIN BIN is going to win soon. Stephanie was beaten and neck, still probably pull it off somewhere. Highway Code was what I call a joyride: Run it pedal-to-the-metal and see what happens for next time. We haven’t heard the last of him.

1.30 Aintree

Benbens

The Package.

[Professortrubshawe]

I had 7 horses in that race.

Steve Caution note: I am happy to lose!

[Professortrubshawe]

I had Dunraven Storm and Irish Saint. That’d be right.

[Professortrubshawe]

I like it when the commentators say ‘enigmatic’.

[Professortrubshawe]

Good luck with your thread Prof.

Thanks. I’ll need it.

[Professortrubshawe]

I’m only interested in stewards’ inquiries when they award the race to my horse; something that never happens.

[Professortrubshawe]

Ballbriggan put down.

[Professortrubshawe]

After the novice chase at Sandown I suddenly thought: Maybe they should

encourage

jockeys to cannon into each other, make it part of the rules. Might make it more of a spectacle.

[Nathan Hughes]

Result stands Prof.

Charles Darwin to conquer the World

[Professortrubshawe]

Result stands Prof.

Course it does! I mentally bet my house it would as soon as it happened. I think that for a race to be awarded to a second placed horse, the winner would have to turn when passing and shoot the jockey dead. Racecourse steward voice: ‘Yes, that *may* be grounds for a reversal…’

[Professortrubshawe]

Turning into a ******* expensive day, this.

I bet Oscar Whisky wins the 3.00.

[Professortrubshawe]

I’ve backed Balder Succes as per the advice of my tipster. But I’m always very wary of Kingy.

[Professortrubshawe]

Yes, I thought a fiasco was on the cards.

I backed Oscar Whiskey to make sure he would lose.

I have Dodging Bullets in a couple of doubles.

Had Somersby in a double with Snake Eyes. That’d be right.

Somersby @ 9/1
Snake Eyes @ 4/1
Sweet Deal @ 9/2
Doubles, 2 bet

Sweet Deal @ 9/2
Dodging Bullets @ 10/1
Doubles, 1

My losing song:

[Professortrubshawe]

25 horses backed. No return. Not a penny.

The most expensive day I’ve had in a long old while.

Why do we do bother?

[Professortrubshawe]

It is extraordinary how each season the same thing happens to me. Today, something as expected as Christmas Day: Backing the wrong Pipe ‘plot’.
