MCLARKE

"earr Mate -how many laps are there in this next race?"-"scuse me Mister-how many more races are there before we can Part-A?"
These were some of the many questions i was asked this evening,(interrupting my intense paddock analysis in the process)-because yes -it was Abba Night at Uttoxeter,with many of the packed crowd not seemingly all that bothered about watching our four legged heroes, but have simply attended for the Abba Tribute band afterwards.
I understand it is now 50 years Since Abba won the Eurovision song contest with Waterloo-and this evening there was a competition for those who dressed up in their favourite Abba Gear.
Unfortunately i was around to remember Waterloo all those years ago,and i'm pretty sure that the Abba i saw back then didn't have Men whose belly's stuck out from under their shirts,or had more chins than a Chinese Telephone Directory,or ladies who had voices more attuned to "wandering Sty" than "Dancing Queen",but it all added to the good natured fun on the night.
What interested me more than our teenage yesterdays though was an organisation on course today called "Home Run Hounds" who are a homing centre who specialise in finding homes for retired Racing greyhounds.
Now please accept my apologies if i am not allowed to advertise on here,but i am sure we all agree what a fantastic cause this non profit organisation is.Owners buy Greyhounds to race,but then don't want them when they become injured or just too old to to be of use-so what happens to them then?.
Thankfully organisations like this help save our canine friends from being put down,but they have far too many dogs on the waiting list to come in,than they can move on.These volunteers are passionate about their cause but need all the help they can get,hence why i am mentioning it here.Apparently you can pay thousands for a puppy nowadays,but for just £200 you can adopt a pedigree ex-racer who would make a fantastic pet.
Greyhounds have a relaxed nature and their short coats need minimal grooming and have no odour. They are generally seen as friendly with other canines and are one of the most healthiest breeds of Dog.Two 30 minute walks a day is all the exercise they need.
So if you could give a loving home for one of these dogs,or even have just a mild interest,please check out their website www.homerunhounds.co.uk, they would love to hear from you.
 
As our fleet footed friends would undoubtedly say (if they could talk)- "Honey i'm still free- "Take a Chance On Me"

Harry, where do you post your footie system bets? I sometimes come across a £5 skybet football multi bet thing and never really know what to do with it, so your tips might come in handy. I did try and look on here, but couldn't find it. Cheers. 

The system relates to goalscorer bets. Time permitting I post them in the thread for the relevant leagues. If you've got a particular offer to use at any time then post the details and I'll suggest something wherever possible.

Its been quite a good exercise in my opinion, Its created discussion, interest and a reasoned debate on the merits and combinations of different ideas and system, it certainly has done no harm. And it has made Raggy a few quid i think.

Is he the Dutch equivalent of Frankie Detorri?
(Autocorrect changed that to Frankie Detroit which would be a great name for a soul singer.)
I’ve gone with Porta Fortuna 22/1 and Sacred Angel 50/1 as my each way tilts at this one.

I really like this angle ....it did well today all things considered and regardless of tomorrow's result it might be good to do this again on the odd big race throughout the season .....it's certainly generated a lot of thought 

😆 It all looks like a load of gobble de gook to me , I'll stick to the tried & tested method 🎯 , joking aside , good luck , whatever gives you an angle & edge 👍

Based on the "meeting of minds" or "wisdom of the codgers" approach we've employed in the ratings thread I'm on two in the 2kg (as no one calls it).
Haatem at 33/1 e/w (but double odds for the win) and Ghostwriter at 17.5/1 e/w
@Brahmin I wouldn't bother too much with my racing tips but here's a tip re posting; don't keep editing the same thread with all your updates and additional selections as most people will miss it. Post any additional fancies in a new post. When someone's already read your post they won't be aware that there have been multiple edits so will have no reason to go back to it. It's great to have your on-course input so don't hide it by editing an "old" post! 

I took the365 ( yes i know you can't) offer bet £20 quid today at newmarket and get a fee £20 quid tomorrow for any newmarket race

I thought there would be 4 places somewhere but not to be so I'll go for a £10 win with BETMGM at 25/1 BOG + I then get a £10 free bet on the 1000 guineas
