...can't say I'm over enthusiastic about today racing,so no nap bet for me today.
K.R.O.

I've put a cheeky fiver at 16-1 that John Terry and Wayne Bridge swap shirts at the end of the game..

Because of the obsession with these two, I'm boycotting the footy on Sky today! I usually watch the first haf of the early kick off in the Prem, but I can't stomach the prospect of endless slo-mo replays of the teams shaking hands before the kicck off, and the agonised expressions and group hugs showing solidarity with under-pressure team mates!

The headline story on SS News all morning has quite literally been "Will they shake hands?"

I've gone for the more ambitious 33/1 on Terry to give Bridge a wedgy as thy leave he field, and 50's on a menage-a-trois with the delightful Miss Perroncel.

It's now looking like I'm going to be collecting a very handsome sum on France winning the 6 nations and grand slam in a couple of weeks time, with only England and Italy left to offer any feeble resistance.

I'm going to put half of my potental winnings on todays Racing Post Chase. Kilcrea Castle at 5/1. This is probably the biggest bet I'm going to have this year.

Another horse I'm looking at to run a good race today, also at Kempton is Alan King's Salden Licht at around 3's. Looked vey ood so far with 2 wins from 2, and looks like it can still improve.

I've had a modest wager on Alfresco at Kempton Park today...It's a bit of an outsider though?

Well mine didn't win, some bizarre races today in the heavy going, none more so than the 2.55 at Chepstow.

Just taken in score betting for Arsenal to come back against Stoke and do them 3-1. 12 to 1.

Talking before the match and the bloke sitting behind me said his mate had a tenner on ''Bridge wound not shake hands with Terry'' at 11/10 with Hills.

Had my return on the 1-0 Blues win yet again.

It's the first time I've been considerably up on football bets for many a year.

Just about made up for my poor horse today.

Cracking call that ..

It was no picnic for the jockey was it?

Thank you John for recognising my crap joke

Amanda had a pony on it being totally ignored?

Blimey!! £20's a lot of money on such poor odds..



<---------She doesn't get out much these days, does she?

Well today I've put a few quid each way on Di Kaprio in the bumpers race at Doncaster 4.00,a strange sort of race for me to bet on but the selection didn't run too badly at all in two previous similar attempts and it could make the frame ,spread the bet between Betfair and one left on at SP. with Hills..
K.R.O.

Small bet on King O The Gypsies for me.

The service I follow are 4 out of 4 for March. Being a Saturday will probably ruin that run though!

We've had a modest wager on Washington Irving in the 4.10 at Kelso. Hopefully it won't be too sleepy coming out the stalls?

...the stalls...
K.R.O.

5 out of 5 for March now!

Well done Sid you spotted my deliberate mistake there loike

Good stuff..!
K.R.O..

Get in there my son..a 66/1 winner..!! . ....
K.R.O.

Wow, incredible stuff Sid!
Post of the week, without a doubt!

Must have been well over 100 on Betfair surely?

As I said I thought he run well in two two similar races and maybe the form as I seen it was better than most but I was really surprised at the SP.. thought he was 28/1 maybe 33/1 shot..!!, the price on Betfair was 69/1 when I took it early..but that's more than enough for Cheltenham..!
K.R.O.

Gone for Oldrik in the 3.05 Sandown hasn't won for awhile but has run well of late and could well be in the shake up here though this is a very competitive handicap hurdle and you could probably make a case out for half-a-dozen ,took 16/1 each-way with Corals....so anybody else risking a few quid today then..?
K.R.O.

Last bet prior to Cheltenham.

2.40 Ayr - Quito De Tresor (around 9/4). Also going to put this one into combination forecasts with Cast Iron Casey and Water Taxi.

Not often I back blues, but I'm going to take 2/1 for us today, far too big a price. Also looking for a best price on 3-0. Found 28/1. But hoping to find 33's.

Now you're being silly, Scotty!

We hardly ever score more than ONE goal, and we NEVER win by two goals! Even when we fluked three goals we managed to concede two!

Maybe you're right Jim, I think I'm letting this flaunting of my Western decadent lifestyle, whilst living amongst the poor is getting to my head.

A 3L beer tower and a pizza cost me less than a fiver last night, and this was in one of the plusher places.

Good to hear you're adapting so quickly to the lifestyle!

As for the goal scoring thingy, I keep hoping McLeish will release the players from the safety-first shackles that have served us so well. Especially now our place in the top division is secured!

But the more I hope for a goal-getting footloose and fancy-free performance, the more am I disappointed when we put up the shutters after going into a 1-0 lead!

We can but dream! (of a two-goal victory!)

Have we managed a win by more than a 2 goal margin this season?

I can't recall any, I know we've come close against Sunderland, Blackburn, Wigan and Portsmouth, but have each time conceded a late goal.

Scotty, we haven't even won one single game by a two-goal margin! Every win has been by the odd goal, 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 (once!)

Not trying to steal Sid's thunder, BTW!

Well got the winner, unfortunatley the forecast horses finished 3rd and 4th, but mustn't grumble about a winner. Nothing now until Cheltenham for me.

It came second so a decent pick up for a place at 16/1...so on to Cheltenham..!!
