    Terry Allen should resign,not one race in England yesterrday had a SP total % under 110.Will the new deductions be used for Irish racing?With the %s over there does Terry think that will be fair to punters?I hope the bookies look after him well.

    I backed Kilbeggan Blade ew earlier this week,the ground is a worry now as he is better on softer.The only reason that I can see for him being backed today is valuescope have tipped him.

    I would think the most successful arbers are some on course bookies,the strategy seems to work as they keep turning up.I do mean some and not all.

    I have always been amazed how horses know to run faster when the money is down. :D

    I have not been impressed by his 2 Cheltenham runs.Until he runs well at the course I will leave him alone.

    I suspect that betting on the distances on the spreads has affected the winning margin in some races.

    I think P Nicholls 25% strike rate is impressive,M Dickinsons 46.3% strike rate for a full season 1982/1983 makes it a no contest.

    The local players Gazza and Waddle left Newcastle.If your local players jump ship then the top players from outside the area will just use you.The great thing about English football in the past was teams like Villa and Forest could be European Champions.The big clubs are getting stronger,E.U.F.A. seem unable to stem the tide.I think Newcastle will find it very hard to break into a Champions League spot.

    I can scrape a profit from backing,but laying is harder for me.Hopefully it is a lesson I can learn . :oops:
