Well, that was a much better day than the Wednesday. A nice 20/1 nap landed, a 5/1 winner in the first, Fame and Glory at 2s and Banimpire at 3's. Not a bad days work.And in all honesty, I didnt watch one race as I was down London all bloody day. Royal Ascot Review at 9:30 on ATR is in hand me thinks, ill try and give my inane mutterings on it at some point though.

Worst days gambling ever. Only thing that went right was Lolly For Dolly winning - but I didnt back it myself. Great. My form read 2 (Codemaster instead of Fury) - 4-2-2-2-3. If only I had the placepot on or even EW in some cases, but no. All on the nose. Idiot. And as for So You Think.....complete superstar that looked. On the matter of So You Think, how is nothing being said about the fact Aidan O'Brien has held his hands up and took the blame, and not for getting the tactics wrong or anything like that, no no, he just decided not to train it properly. Brilliant Aidan. Im sure the chap who had £95k on the horse would liked to have had that information before popping the bet on. Staggering arrogance to think a horse can just tip up and beat some top horses.

A hit and miss day with one or two bets coming in and hopefully it will have put a few pence in your pockets for Day 2. For me, the standout performance of the day was the horse I hoped wouldnt win and that was Canford Cliffs. Being a massive Goldikova fan I was hoping she would do the business but for all her trying she just didnt have the turn of foot to go with Canford. Obviously not helped by Peslier being a complete spoon and weighing in 2lb over because he picked the wronh shoes up - typical of the French. However, if Canford was to win then I would have wanted it to be impressively.....and it was. Hope this talk of Frankel v Canford comes to fruitition, although only one winner in my book, which brings me nicely on to that winner - Frankel.

Ok, back again after a lengthy lay-off, I thought after two decent priced naps in 2 days I should have myself time off, and I always struggle with the flat season to be honest - nigh on impossible to pick a winner in these 25 runner 5f dashes. A horse could be 1/20 and I still wouldn't be confident.

Having said all that - it seems right that I talk nonsense on Royal Ascot, at least you have half a chance of picking a winner in these races......most of them anyway.

Following on from yesterdays ramblings where I had an average day, couple of decent price EW shots placing, and my Nap of the day double of Captain Chris and Quevega winning, it has give me tiny bit of money to play with going into Friday.
Before picking tomorrows losers, its probably the done thing to discuss yesterdays action first - and the one thing that I think to come out of this was....should Quevaga go for Big Bucks in the World Hurdle at Cheltenham, I don't think she was as impressive as she was at Cheltenham yesterday, but if Willie Mullins' put all his efforts into getting her in peak condition (as he does for the mares), then surely shell give him a huge race, even more so than Grand Crus did. However, on the other hand - is it really that bad being the best mare around by a country mile and winning the Davy Nick's year after year?

Apologies on the recent lull in blogs, but I haven't missed much - only the Grand National, the start to the flat season and the 1000 & 2000 guineas....... but if its any consolation, I think the only one I could have tipped was Frankel at 1 to 2. Not the greatest insight the racing world has ever seen.

What a week. That's all I can say. From the Supreme Novice's right through to the Grand Annual (kind of), every race was a belter, and a few in particular were just unbelievable

Its now 9pm on Monday 14th and I have to be up in 6 hours time (thanks to the Foster brothers) to start the long trek from the toon to Chelt's and I don't think I am going to sleep much to be honest - but not even the sad new of Dougie Costello's injury is going to tarnish my week (except maybe Friday when Midnight Chase won't get his normal ride).

Anyway, as I said above - I've got to be up soon so I am going to try and keep this brief and to the point - while still managing to pick out a loser in every race (I'm thinking negative in the hope the opposite happens).

By this point I will be blowing out of my arse but will still have to drag myself to another day of drinking and gambling (always a good combo). Thursday isn't the greatest days racing but there is still some top drawer animals on show and one or two good races in store.

I wont be betting mega bucks on this day other than on the big race, but here's what I'm going to run with on Day 3......

Reet, so I've just woke up with £10,000 in my pocket after 6 wins and 7 places from the first day and I'm wondering what to do with it - spend it more horses is the answer....and here's the horses in question.......
