No less than four tracks are involved in today's ITV7; the 1.50 at Aintree gets the ball rolling, then we visit Thurles (for yet another potential battle between Elliott and Muillins), Uttoxeter and Kempton.
Back later.

1.50 Aintree? You had me looking for it Ken. Are you looking at a misprint somewhere?

[Ken4155]

:-)))))

Just before i looked to see where the 7 was coming from, MSN were advertising the runners and riders for the GN. And i was thinking, "Wow, Cheltenham's only just over with, never mind bloody Aintree."
Bet you were scanning your racing pages back to front and upside down. Togo. Soz :-))

[Ken4155]

So, in case anyone's confused, the ITV7 begins with the 1.50 at UTTOXETER.

PS Togo; had you not pointed it out, i'd have most likely been looking for the Aintree meeting:-))

[Togo]

Haha. I was on the verge of giving it a miss today after a week of wall to wall, but saw the Uttoxeter meet was on with the Midlands National featuring. After reading that Maydup had had a good day out at Fakenham, and your comments about attending meetings I was minded that we( friends and family) used to go to this meeting it being on the doorstep so to speak. Sadly many of them are no longer with us, but I remember them. Bet sorted, will post it up shortly before I go out for a wander.

Morning, chaps. I would have won that $23,000 Placepot yesterday if I'd only met God halfway and invested a pound.
Had the 2nd in the 7th race too. (and still nearly lost on the day, ;-))
I'll read the Cheltenham thread later. Did you cry when Honeysuckle won?
Anyway, have a good (winning?)day.

[Togo]

Spike!!! How are you? Are you OK buddy we have missed you.

[Spicerack]

Great thanks, Togo.

[Togo]

It is good to see that Wishbone Ash avatar on display again. :))

[Ken4155]

Welcome back, Spicey :-)) Great to see you posting again.

Couple of offers i've availed myself of, both with Willy Hill;

Outlaw Peter 2.05 Kemp, double odds, £5 stake*
Dan Skelton 2 or more Utt winners, 2/1 from 1/1 - max £5 stake

*Any horse, any race (or even Greyhounds if that's what floats yer boat.) Offer has to be 'claimed', but that's self explanatory on the home page.

Had Jonjo been in any sort of form, he might have had 3 or 4 winners today, but the stable is woefully out of sorts. I realise that he will 'bounce back' at some point, but i'll wait until he does before burdening his horses with my dosh:-)

2.05 Kem; Outlaw Peter @ 7/2 (see above) - 5 places
2.25 Utt; Trelawne @ 17/2 - 5 places
3.00 Utt; Guetapan Collonges @ 15/2 - 6 places
3.35 Utt; Blackjack Magic @ 15/2 - 4 places

Win singles, 20p L15, £1 e.w. acca. 4 placed = £23, 4 winners = £3,360.

ITV7, above qualifiers, plus; Hitching Jacking, Pont Aval and Complete Unknown. £1 e.w. acca.

Also a little R Robin, e.w. Treble on Complete Unknown, Geryville and Just Don't Know for a poss £268.

And the very best of luck to all.

Began the day as if i was going to give the enemy a real spanking - first 3 runners going in, including the double-price winner, a place in the marathon race, then it all went pear-shaped. Still, profit duly made. Now there's just the small matter of Haaland and City to overcome:-/
