    Bad luck Killer.
    Thought he battled really well in horrible looking ground - looked like he was going to go on and win it 2 out but the winner clearly had a fair bit left in the tank.
    Hope all's OK with him.

    All fine Peanuts and I thought he was going to win two out. Olly been in touch and said he hated the track and quick Jumping down back straight which caught him out. Believes 3 mile needed so not sure as regards the final, has to just run in another qualifier now after finishing second today.

    Good to hear.
    And more of a Becher-type than Grand Sefton...... excellent  :)
    All the best next time.

    I have made two ante post plays for the Cheltenham Festival and both run today so if both win I shall hold good value bets or even good trading opportunities?

    There's a massive sofa at the two furlong pole, will it get shredded at the end of racing?

    A massive carve up today on the betting front. 

    Singles, doubles and trebles made overnight, all double figured prices now into odds on

    2/3 have already won with the fav now in the last race into 2/5.

    Dont mind bookies taking a bashing but isn’t a good look for racing.

    Just watched a video from Bet Victor and the link seems that they are all trained/were trained by 3 stables in Scotland situated quite close together. All horses out of form and have therefore dropped to a very handy mark. The last, was once bought for £260k and races off just 90.

    Not sure what the connection is with the Southwell winner to the other two but Daragh Bourke, who used to train the first winner but ran for the first time for Laura Morgan today (and won), trains the last runner.

    For those that aren't aware of the horses in question:

    Muss 1.00 Fire Away 25/1 in to Evens WON
    South 2.35 Blowing Dixie 14/1 in to 4/6 WON
    Muss 4.25 Gallahers Cross 33/1 in to 1/2 TO RUN 

    Lord only knows what bookies' liabilities are going to be hopefully Bob Munro will still have a job tomorrow should Gallahers Cross prevails!

    Wealth warning - if you missed the big prices early doors, the worst thing you could do is to take the 1/2 on the last one. Usually one lets such planned gambles down though the perpetrators will have earned themselves a pretty penny already

    Fire Away is owned by The Welly Wobblers Club - this is their only horse and only run. The other two are "owned" by their trainers Ian Jardine and Daragh Bourke. They and Laura Morgan can expect a full investigation from the BHA.

    The bookies could be in trouble as well for not pushing out the prices on the other horses, I think the liability was way off on the Southwell race.

    BHA interviewed all trainers and jockeys before their races. No doubt the bookies will do their utmost not to pay out.

    Last horse is beat comfortably. Comes 4th in a seven runner race.

    Not a tip but a horse I have been following and that is Poetic Force in the Wolverhampton 6.30.

    The gelding is 4 from 7 at Wolverhampton and back down to a decent mark. Would be happier if this wasn't a Class 3 and if PF was stepped back up even further in trip but I am convinced that this is an accident waiting to happen! So, at 12/1 (was 16/1) happy to have an interest today. On the nose too because EW isn't really an option given that it is 7 runners so first two only.

    Unfortunately they didn't go fast enough early doors. Will watch out for that step up in trip.

    Watched the race and it finished well, especially as the jockey was working hard about 3 furlongs out

    It's entered in the Wolverhampton 8.15 on Saturday - a Class 4 race over a slightly further trip. Just raiding the piggy bank to see what I can get together!

    Not been declared for Saturday. Not totally surprised, especially if the next run is to be a typical Tony Carroll plot, because Poetic Force's recent wins have been following an absence of three or four weeks

    No jump racing in the UK tomorrow (12/2), very strange unless all the courses are under water, ice or snow

    Possibly something to do with the sub zero temperatures.

    Gosden is an absolute master. To see off the big 2 American challengers on their own surface is outstanding.
    Perfect ride by David Egan. Probably earned more in that 90 seconds than he has in his entire career!

    Perhaps they should get a few lessons from Luke Morris.
