Yeah a screw that.  I’ve been to the races two or three times and didn’t enjoy it at all.  
I’d be into doing the whole hospitality thing but suiting up just to stand shoulder to shoulder with thousands of people and not having enough time between races to buy a ridiculously overpriced pint?  Nah. 

the best racing days ive had is where it's been quiet-ish courses.

salisbury is my closest and is a lovely little course, never need to really wait for a pint

Only time I went was Glorious Goodwood, I won big on the first race, then lost it all on booze and the other races.

Yup.  O'Malley  has managed to eek 50p E/W out of me too.

I have Vauban  just once in a 7 fold for 50p E/W and it's the lowest price I have on any selection today but it's the horse I have the least faith in .  I think a lot of people will be disappointed in that first race .   

maid o malley...not sure she wouldve had enough to place but was going so well until her fall!

Cheers @Brumerican 👍. Your suggestions for today have now put me £28 up for the week. Not a large amount but nice to be up.

If Pink Legend had won just, instead of e/w, I would have been £160 up for the week. Still I’ll happily take the £18.70 off her.

Even so,  3 of the 4 places were filled by horses who were in the bottom half yesterday  . O'Malley placing would have been sensational but I'm very happy with how the day panned out.

I didn't do much pal but I like others winning as much as myself.

I’ve just had the last two days off work, so really enjoyed watching the festival and going with your tips/suggestions.  Honestly, really good form from yourself 👏

I usually have one crap day at least per festival but somehow I avoided it this year and I'm rather chuffed .   I don't have much money but from having £25 Tuesday morning to where I am now is ridiculous .

Gonna buy a kebab in naan bread as a treat  . As daft as it sounds something like that is not usually in my budget

 

My last tip of the week is to stay away from night racing.

It would be my pleasure to pay for that kebab. With your tips today and a bit of computer programming luck, I was £120 better off.
