[Togo]

My first look at a race card after Ascot. Was just about horse racing replete. Good Cards today all across the country but small fields for some races. Have gone for a bit of e/w value in the big races and can do singles later if I wish. Have also had a sneaky look at Chester and done a mugs bet on the three "Gabriel" horses running for the owner Dr Koukash. He loves the place and likes nothing better than a winner or two so I did a little £1.25 Trixie. I have done the ITV7 which includes the horses below.

Intisaab @14/1 2.45 York
Canford Heights @13/2 3.00 Newcastle
Cardsharp @7/1 3.15 Newmarket
Cosmelli @33/1 3.35 Newcastle

£1.00 E/W Acca & 25p E/W Doubles and trebles. Will be doing singles on them as they go to post.
With those 4 add in Star Alexander 2.05 Nm, Mr Lupton 2.25 Nc, & Ursa Minor 2.20 Nm for the ITV7. Little e/w acca, 6folds, &5 folds also done.
Plus of course my "free bet" Trixie at Chester on Gabriel The Saint, Gabriel The Wire, & Gabriel The One.

Morning, Togo, you just about beat me to it. Opened the curtains this morning to find that there yellow thing in the sky beaming at me and my first action was to text my son, "Fancy York, today?" with lots of smiley faces. He is currently being extra special nice to her indoors in order to curry favour before choosing the right time to suggest, "Wonder if dad fancies a trip up to York?" My fingers are crossed that his pampering works and she is in a receptive mood :-)) I've told him i don't mind missing the first race as it looks to be all about Haggas's runner, so i estimate he's got another 60-90 mins to sweet-talk her into giving her blessing. Good job she loves me to bits:-)

2.45 York; Great Prospector @ 10/1
3.00 N'c; Cornwennan @ 4/1
3.20 York; Poets Dawn @ 8/1
3.35 N'c; Who Dares Wins @ 14/1

Win singles, 20p L15, £1 e.w. acca; 4 placed = £85, 4 winners = £8,700.

ITV 7; 3 of those above, plus Star Alexander*, Mr Lupton*, Al Dabaran and Glorious Journey*. £1 e.w. acca; 7 placed = £134, 7 winners = £125,430.

*= Trixie @ 11/4, 3/1 & 7/2 = poss £185.

Good luck

Hope that goes well for you Ken. You could probably make Chester quicker mind. Was lovely here first thing but has clouded over. I can feel a thunderstorm coming. Just doing a bit of dead heading and the usual garden duties, before settling down for the racing and knock up a bolognaise whilst "She who must be obeyed" gets her barnett fettled.

[Ken4155]

Good luck, too, with the 'Gabrial' bet. Koukash had 4 of them running at Chester last night (one of them being Gabrial The One) and i tried a little Yank/e.w. acca. 3 placed but the supposed best chance, Gabrial @ 6/4 fav, ran a bit of a stinker. Now you've drawn my attention to today's 'Gabrials'............................................................:-/

[Ken4155]

We did Chester last time, Togo. We are always loath to go in the 'cheap seats' but i think we made a mistake by not doing so at Chester. Our view of the races was restricted to the last 100 yards, yet had we gone in the cheap end, we could have seen almost the entire race - apart from the last 100 yards. That's why we have big tv screens:-) My son is quite new to visiting courses and wants to visit as many as he can with me while he can. Besides, after Beverley, my favourite course is York which, despite always being well attended, always seems so calm and organised. Just love the place.

Did you get a free "no questions asked" bet with 365 Ken. I was very surprised to get a message giving me a £5 bet after filching a wedge out of their vaults in the last few weeks. Used it for the daft bet.

[Ken4155]

Don't want to alarm you, Togo, but you appear to have overlooked another of Koukash's Gabrials - Angel Gabrial in the 4.55. There are, however, just 6 runners, so i've also omitted it and have done the other 3 in a little patent/e.w. treble. You know, just in case:-)

[Togo]

Haha......I've got you thinking? I reluctantly gave the Poet a swerve after getting it in a couple of weeks ago. Then I note that you have put it in your bet. Hmmm may have to keep my eye on it for later.

[Togo]

Did see it Ken, but like You omitted it. Koukash also has another runner, Heart of Soul, in the 4.20 with Williams training instead of Fahey.

[Ken4155]

Mission accomplished! ETA York racecourse approx 1.45 :-))

That Koukash has far too much money, Togo. Can't move for Gabrials :-) Just put a late L15/e.w. acca on before i set off; Cardano, Lomu, Mubhij and Broome. Usually wait until mid afternoon before i look at the late 'uns. If i have a few winners, I, like Capt Oates, may be gone some time because there's an evening meet at Donny!

[Ken4155]

I get a regular £5 loyalty bet off 365, Togo. In fact, it's not a free bet, it's actually £5 cash credit which doesn't have to be used all at once.

[Togo]

Have a great day Ken. Jammy devil.

[Ken4155]

Just read your earlier post re Poet's Dawn. Reason i was drawn to it is because T Easterby has won both prior runnings of this race. See ya later.

Just had a tip for Gin in the Inn at York Ken. 5.05.
