[Togo]

Couple of nice races today and if this wind gets up it could cause havoc. Have waited a while to see whether there are any non runners as a couple of my races have 8 runner fields. As we know a runner pulled out of one beggars up an e/w flutter. Have done the ITV7 and a bit on the 7,6,& 5 timers as usual. Ispent an age looking at the 3.35 Betfair Hurdle and kept being drawn back to Gumball. Good luck if you have a flutter.

Afternoon and good luck, Togo. Bit late myself today; had to do a spot of shopping. Don't normally do it on a Sat but with Burnley not having a game until next weekend, bit more time on my hands. As you infer, the 3.35 takes a bit of looking at and my eyes kept being drawn to Stolen Silver so I've had a fiver e.w. on it @ 18/1 to 6 places. Not exactly an extra bet 'cos the dosh would have been on Burnley had they been playing.

1.50 New; Vive Le Roi @ 11/1
2.32 Utt; Sigurd @ 11/1 (won't live long enough to get used to this!)

Sos, the 3rd horse in the Patent and e.w. treble is Katpoli.

[Togo]

Well I got 3 winners and 2 seconds, although the return was pretty negligible. Still it is an improvement on what I have been doing. Perhaps I am getting my eye in for the festival.

[Ken4155]

In which case, Togo, I must be saving myself for the Festival. I don't mind admitting that there have been numerous days when I've drawn a complete blank but I honestly cannot remember a time when NONE of my horses even got into contention.
Well done with the winners - every little helps.
Now, being the glutton for punishment that I am, i'm just having a look at the Wolverhampton card :-/
