    Zee Man runs tomorrow Bangor 4.00,nothing from Olly yet.
    When we got the horse Olly said he has a couple hurdle wins in him off this mark before going chasing,well that all changed after Olly schooled him and he went straight chasing.After his last run Olly said he may need to go hurdling to get his confidence back.So at the moment who knows what tomorrow is all about?!

    Will be having a little nibble on Nomadic Empire in the 4:15 at York. Wasn’t far behind Winter Power (and conceding 5lbs) lately, who bolted up yesterday. Currently around 14’s.

    Olly has said Zee Man is capable of beating today's lot but it is very much all about getting his confidence back

    The David Evans gamble is a bit different to the ones where trainers "stop" horses by one means or another i.e. by running a horse over unsuitable trips/going or when not fit and deliberately asking the jockey to go too fast. Choux was unraced and with no form in the book punters have to make their own mind up whether they want to have a bet in the race. Equally, had his been a Gosden or Stoute 2-year-old it would never have been 40/1 in the first place.

    What Evans and connections did do incredibly well is keep how well Choux was going at home. It was the classic "when I drop the hanky" we all pile in type gamble.

    First 3 were all shit after drifting back out. This does seem to be a more regular occurrence now, where is this 'money' coming from?

    Would hardly call Tomily shit, came third I took 12's Sunday night and got a bit of EW profit not beaten far at all.Was given via a tipster on twitter, he didn't mention any of his other runners, same tipster came up with a 14-1 winner the day before, although got hit with a 40p rule 4 due to non runners.

    Thought the same.
    was my first time at Brighton yesterday.
    I’ve only ever been Lingfield and Sandiwn before and these were always with large groups which really isn’t my thing (group travel restrictions etc). But was just me and the better half yesterday and took the races in as we’re down for a couple of days.
    gotta say, found it the most enjoyable out of the 3 I’ve been to.
    What’s peoples views on betting on phone while at the races. My only winner drifted from 7/1 when I put it on on course but won at 9s.
    frustrating but for me betting with on course bookie is part of the day.

    Agree - the bookie and punter can see the whites of each others' eyes! Good banter as well.
    The reality is though that you are actually betting on the exchanges!

    100/1 winner at Leicester followed 5 mins later by a 200/1 winner at Ripon. Cmon, who had the double?
  • killer kish
    killer kish Posts: 2,019
    Not the same as the above mentioned double but on colossus they have a win6 bet at one meeting per day and hasn't been won for ages so today at Windsor the pot is upto 60k.Obviously as bet says you need winner of first 6 races.
    So far I'm 3 from 3 and only 60 tickets left of which I have two of them! 
  • killer kish
    killer kish Posts: 2,019

    Out in the fourth race, second! 
    Only 3.39 tickets left so doubt if it will won again?!
