did really well. wouldn't have touched him at that price though

Suppose you could say he was that price for a reason . The weeks break after the Scottish national and his Eider win only a few weeks before that put me off. Happy for the trainer who’s daughter is going through leukaemia at the moment.

This horse thing is difficult.

personally i dread saturdays anyway. so many times i've had a great mon-fri and it all goes to pot on saturday to the point that i've many times considered just watching and not betting. generally i'm happy to just come away unscathed

I'm with you, I am trying not to make any hasty bets, so set them off in the morning and try to walk away until the evening. If not I end up watching the results come in, tinker with the system, then put on some silly bets.

Seddon saved the day for me. Could have been a really good day. Kitty’s Light my top rated won but never backed it. Sam Brown top rated falling two out looking like the winner and Seddon top rated won . The Very Man (25/1) was second best rated in the Seddon race and came second so had the 1/2 there .

Too competitive maybe? I’m the other way, I do better in competitive races in higher classes so Saturdays are not too bad. My ratings do better in higher grades than they do lower grades that’s why I don’t go below class 3 races and there’s only a few class 3 races i’ll go in on. Prefer class 2 and above in the handicap races.

thing is you should see many more horses running to form on a saturday as it's all class 1s and 2s, so there's less hands and heels rides to try and lower the marks. i don't know why...i just have more bad saturdays that good ones

Just the one winner but gives me a profit . Couple of races at Kempton tomorrow and one at the Curragh I’ll look at. Me wife and kids are also off to Warwick races tomorrow too in what is very low grade action but will have to have a bet whilst there.

I see Harpers Brook pulled himself up at Sandown on Saturday just yards from the finish line.

Despite the jockey giving him a couple of reminders, enough was enough for him and he said no more. Intelligent animal.

One punter put 14 grand on it too. Looked the only winner after the last then just stopped
