Been very Lucky that boy Frankie, done for drugs twice, the second time he should have been banned for life in my opinion. Ditched by Godolphin, resurrected by Gosden just when he had some of the best horses around. also used by O'Brien successfully. like i say been a very lucky boy.
I think banned for life would be very harsh. Maybe he had a problem with the drug and alcohol also? Wouldn’t be the first and won’t be the last to have those issues in horse racing .

Also has a big personality which you can’t help but like . True star is Frankie .

Hereford still hangs in the balance. Couple of class 2s there I was going to look at, but I’ll wait for the green light first .

Looks like Cheltenham is off . My bets have just been voided . Thought they would have survived but oh well
-
Cheltenham 1.15 , Third Time Lucki 6/1
Im not his biggest fan, but always felt he could go well in handicaps and todays mark of 147 will see him go close I think. He rides Cheltenham very well.
Cheltenham 1.50 , IL Ridoto 5/1
more to follow hopefully

Backed il ridoto eearlier in week but final rated the race and adjusted settings to good sft so it altered the ratings
Simply the Betts 8.8 12/1
Stolen silver 8.6 6/1
Il ridoto 8.5 5/1
War Lord 8.3
Fantastic lady 8.2
Tough tough race ....Happy with the 6/1 ew on il ridoto ...but its hard to find a tag team partner for him .....stolen silver finished lame but was running OK until pulling up and was fav that day but its hard to judge...he could bounce back if issues sorted but the 12/1 around.... simply the Betts just seems like an ew value bet to me ......war lord also has a,strong shout but I'll go 5pt ew simply the Betts and we'll see what happens ?
Ive got it very similar
Simply The Betts 9.53
IL Ridoto 9.39
Stolen Silver 9.22
War Lord 9.14
Im only siding with one though and I think IL Ridoto has Simply The Betts beat on their last race and he’s 1Ib better off from their last race beating Simply by 8 lengths.
5 points IL Ridoto

The last race of the day at Cheltenham, the sun wasn’t a problem but they still decided to take out two hurdles I think it was . The ITV presenters all said they couldn’t understand why they were now omitting hurdles. It really is piss poor isn’t it. Would they have done that at the festival in March? I just hope tomorrow isn’t the same. Hopefully the races I’m on are not too late on the card .

I’m being more selective with my bets from now on . Leave most of the midweek stuff unless it’s a decent class 3 or higher. Going to also narrow it down on Saturdays to a max of 4 races. 4 selections and also bang them in a lucky 15 or Yankee depending on the odds .

It did Chris. Well done to Venetia. I think it was only a couple of weeks ago when she had gone a long stretch without a winner. I couldn't resist laying Almazhah Garde for 1 pt at 4.50 when it was out in front by about 30 lengths
Brave tactics but hard to pull off in those kind of fields . Venetia flying which is good, as she comes across a lovely lady and a very good trainer.
-
Venetia Williams has had two winners today being upped in distance . Wonder if Quick Wave can follow suit in the last race at Sandown
yep that’s 3/3 for Venetias horses being upped in distance today . I’ll keep my eye on that for rest of year.
Tough day of racing with big fields. Some place money and a 2nd beaten half a length. -20 on day

Hi, its a system based on where the horse ran last time to where the horse is running this time!
What do you mean by this?
I’ve looked at the Welsh national trial and struggling to find a bet . Too many ifs and buts, but your selection Time To Get Up rated highly. Just concerned about trip being tad short .

I think Greaneteen is class and is running really well, but if Shishkin wasn’t ready he wouldn’t be running as Nicky Henderson would almost certainly pull him out of the race. Good race to look forward to away from the handicaps .

Couldn’t cash out my Alnadam bet but I’ve cashed out Tommie Beau and it’s the last time I’ll ever bother with Exeter again. The last 3 times I’ve bothered with Exeter races have been ruined by omitted fences/hurdles . 4 fences omitted in last race and jump horses having to run half a mile without jumping . Beyond ridiculous at Exeter .
For some reason they are jumping all the fences now in the race currently running. Too late now already cashed out so sod em’ . You watch him romp home now ?

I kind of know where you’re coming from. First time is a mistake and second time is taking the piss . Just think regarding the subject that is alcohol and drugs that addiction of some sort can play a big part in repeat offending .
