Well I do what I do the way that I do it. I get my information where I always have. To say a horse was never 25/1 is fair enough but it sounds muddled to me as we obviously use different sources. I just happen to trust the Express and if you care to look there it wasn't mentioned in the betting insi...

It's not that I'm saying I backed them, because I didn't. Interestingly you say if you could have Thurs paper on Wednesday, if and it's a big if you'll see that weeks ago I said this very thing i.e. Look at the previous days results to see the why's and wherefores of each race and work it back the w...

The problem with looking at new possibilities is missing the old ones! Remember me boring you with my c5/6/7 stuff??? South 2.00 three horses in dire event with anything resembling form, truly dreadful affair. But ripe for the picking. Dusty Blue was 12's in paper into 11/2 fourth best but look at t...

Think on this.....there are horses that the bookie shortens and horses that the bookie needs to shorten! Now could we say the former is the red herring and the latter the nugget? Possibly. The trick i...

Nice bit of fun, great idea, count me in. Against my better judgement, big fields and ALL trying!!!!

Uninspiring stuff as far as I'm concerned.
Just one of interest

Andyrich Thanks for the info and viewing which I looked at with interest. At my age I don't think I have enough life in me to dedicate to the pursuit of all the details but thanks anyway. I think I'll stick to my own systems!!! General As I said before racing...another tough Saturday but as you'll s...
