Excuse me for not bothering to read that un-edited drivel Colonel Fray. All due respect but some of us have familes to feed and bills to pay – anyone who’s wastes their money betting on a/w shite (sorry Max) at Lingfield deserve’s what they get.
Bring on the festival – now have a gin & lemonade like me and realise punting to make a living is a mugs game.
All the best

It is demonstrably not drivel; and I’ve won a lot on all-weather – but more by the pin in the board than anything else. But I wasn’t just referring to all-weather. My point is about the tipsters’ approach. A little more honesty and a whole lot more openness – within the range of libel – about just what the punter is up against.
1) What makes you think I have no family and bills?
2) Why do you think I am trying to make a living punting?
3) Are you feeling terribly smug or a bit boozed or something?‘Gambling is just an exciting way of making yourself more depressed’ – Simon Barnes

I know! I’ve never understood the whole thing about being a good loser! Yeah, be a good loser when you’re playing chase the ace on Boxing Day, but why be philosphical when four [deleted] have turned you over for hard-earned?

I thangew.
I think I made my point all too clearly.
You should be careful of accusing someone of writing gibberish when what you really mean is YOU DON’T AGREE WITH IT.
If you keep having that kind of category confusion you risk presenting yourself as someone who hasn’t got the wit to string two sentences together.
On the plus side, it’s nice to see that Arthur Askey’s act is still being quoted.Colonel. The game’s bent, all the tipsters are in the pay of big bookmakers. Get out while you can.
Is this sarcasm or did you fail to understand my point?
Did you have one of those afternoons that betting shop punters would describe as "about level", Colonel Fray?
If by that you mean: none of what I’ve written is true, I’ve just got the hump because I’ve lost, then no. Am I sick of the racket that is horseracing, yes.
See the last race at Kempton. Typical.
How many meetings in a week do Spotlight contributors do?
At the moment, not that many.
With 48 hour declarations on the Flat nowadays, it should give them the opportunity to really dig into a horse’s form and emerge with a gem of knowledge
Yes, but as I said, that will only take you so far. Other factors are at play.
