I second that! I can never seem to find what i'm looking for on there. Sorry, should have read on first, don't know what number it should have been, but it wasn't second...i'll tenth that. (when i looked on here yesterday no one had posted, so i was surprised how many comments there were.)

I am not very quick at typing and was rushing. It was the 4 fold acca i was worried about not the lucky 15, but no, i let them ride. I was going to c/o on the acca until the damn price crashed and because of the late money for it, i left it. (or if some one had said it had high speed figures, i was going to leave it) That was £1 ew and a 20p L-15, so it was a lot more for the acca. Thanks for the reply anyway.

Price is coming in, was 22-1 10 mins ago.....

Thanks for reply. EW Lucky 15 and the 66-1, 40-1 and 20-1 have all placed and the cash out is quite big. I put things like this in as the last leg if i feel the price will drop and it's one i've been tracking since it proved very popular at the breeze ups a while ago. It did well lto in traffic and was unlucky and although is up in class today, i didn't think it was much different, what do you think?

@MCLARKE if you have the time this late in the evening, could you let me know how far up your ratings Ticktyboo came in the 2020 at York please.

Yea, Zil summed it up, a lot of time and effort gone in to this by all you guys, so even before a race is run, cheers.

Knew you would come around to the Racing League, nice pick, had it myself.

Don't want you to go into detail (personal or to in depth) but what does that mean "reviewed my bets" a long pause before your bet was accepted or back and forth messaging? I just don't understand why you and a lot of others on here have their accounts closed or have limitations when winning such a small amount, it makes no sense to me. (if this sort of thing is too personal, just ignore me, but i just can't stand it when i can't work out why things happen.)

Did they give a reason or did it happen after you withdrew your winnings?

I think Half Man Half Biscuit had a hit with "Smells Like Sh*t" makes more sense now.

1800 Y - Treacherous @ 28-1 ew Bet365

I do know that the draw at certain tracks over certain distances does effect races in Ireland, just like some in the UK, but i'm afraid i'm no expert and i don't always agree with "what the papers say" or "atr" etc, etc. (sometimes they don't even agree with each other!) Naas for example has a chute to allow a straight 5 and 6f (yesterdays race) and races i've seen seem to come over to the right, right-middle, (high numbers are that side) and i believe it matters more when it's wet, (soft/heavy) not as much when dry, which is why i was a little surprised that a group yesterday stayed on the left rail because i heard it was light showers and the going seemed to change from good to yielding. (i don't know for a fact, but i've just always assumed that there must be a slight slope from right to left, but i could be wrong) Not as bad over 7f and 8f as should be able to get in place before the turn to the straight, but 10f and 1m 4f i would think a low draw is best as you're turning all the way round to the chute of the 7 and 8f and could have a wide trip for quite a few furlongs. I'm not very good at remembering the courses that i've looked at in the past, i will normally get jogged on the day and certain things come back to me, but Leopardstown today, if i'm remembering correctly, i looked at within the past couple of weeks and the draw for the 6f race is important (possibly 7f as well, not sure they have a 5f race there because it would have to start on the bend) From what i've seen you don't want an inside draw (1 or 2, assuming that all stalls go from right to left and i don't know that they do) although you would think you would as the turn comes up quite quick, but i've noticed so many just get stuck on the rail with no where to go, but at the same time maybe not a wide draw as you could be adding on some extra yardage. Having said that, i'm not even sure i've got the right track, but i think i have, they have tracks like Naas and Navan, Killarney and Kilbeggan, Leopardstown,Limerick and Listowel and i get confused. What i do remember is Dundalk is their aw track and Laytown, i believe , is run on a sandy beach!

I hope you don't Richard. I've heard you say before that you don't like Irish racing, but i hope you still rate the odd race. I will stick with what i said yesterday about the draw, which means your top rated should be upgraded for running well, but on the wrong side of the track along with your 4th. Transcendental was given an awful ride, claimer went off way too fast (if i was looking at the right horse, watched on tiny screen and couldn't hear commentry) and no man or computer can allow for that or the fact that i believe the going changed from morning to afternoon. Tawaazon, which i believe was the one you bet on, i also thought had a decent ew chance on last years form, even if still carrying a bit too much weight imo. (went from 65 up to 92, but is now on 81) But it found form (immedietly) after switching stables, but has not done much since another stable switch. So your ratings were not as bad as you think imo and i hope you carry on doing a few Irish races, you really can find some nice priced winners. Good luck with your new system anyway.

Cheers Zil, high praise from you bottom line's more like it. 🤣
