I couldn’t get my tip up on Oddschecker Sol I’ll post my looser here instead . I’d be happy enough with the 33-1 at the money. The main bet was Sirius yesterday at a bigger price , he’s too short now.

We’re getting closer and closer to the National Hunt season. This is a lovely sample for the season ahead .

For the 157th time since I started backing horses , I didn’t listen to my own advice to not pick horses when we’re not sure of the ground .. I’m probably too old to ever learn at this stage .

I’m having a look at bet builders for the next while for small stakes both to change it up a bit , and see if getting a couple to struggle into 7th might work.

Another bet builder for the laugh. Top9 finish on lads. Bit of fun for tiny stakes

I’ll be posting more of these. Their a bit of fun in the big races for small stake .

Phew my biggest bet of the week Stressfree 66/1 . Placed . Along with 40/1 place earlier from Who’s Lope, turns the week around . Someday one of these will actually win. 😂

For a fun bet builder , I’ve went with Ascending / Real Dream / Stressfree all to be top 8 at 100/1

You have to hand it to @yorkracecourse , I’m around a while watching racing , this is one of the most complete days racing I can remember. Start to finish . Full fields , class horses , unfathomable handicaps . What more would anyone want.

This York meeting is second only to Royal Ascot on the flat, they get so much right . Other courses could learn from them, in terms of races, field size etc. Ebor is probably the best handicap of the year .

Don’t be silly wins the Grand Annual of 147 , with form of 00009. 😂 always looked a 2 miler.

I’ve just sat down to go through the stewards cup , expecting at least an hour. It took 30 seconds . Let’s hope first impressions are right . Pity there is 26 other horses to beat. 🫣

18/1 winner . Makes a change from places. Should really call it a week and leave it at that. I won’t though.

Couple of huge priced darts . After a month of sun, it’s raining and you can’t see the track 🤣. Good luck to anyone betting we’ll need it .

That was a joy to watch. Kerry were hard to put down in the end which was to be expected. One of the best goals scored in Croke Park. Outstanding from Mayo all over the field.

The week of horses not getting a run, at 2 incredibly tough tracks, is about to start. My effort will be to loose less at Galway than I win at Goodwood. Fingers crossed. Toughest betting week of the year. Fun all the same.

Best sporting occasion today .

Hear me out. How about an Irish music festival . 2 nights Croke Park 2027. Headline Amble & Kingfisher. The Cranberries , Dermot K, . Something happens, An emotional fish ( 15 min version of Celebrate ) hothouse flowers, Loads more. #Féile27 . Sells out in a day.

Watching Harry Kane whinge at the ref every 5 mins, is just head wreaking. Just give him a yellow to shut him up. Hard to know what will happen, England probably score from set piece, at least. 1-1 at the end maybe. Second half has to be better than the first. I’d be worried Argentina doesn’t finish with 11.

I’ve ended up going with 3 today . Some great racing today .
