Afternoon Ken. Missed your post yesterday until late on. I didn't have a flutter yesterday(or last Sunday either) as we are pretty busy here trying to get the garden going again, and taking advantage of the dry weather. Plus had a busy time selling our cars and getting a replacement instead of having 1 each. Bet sorted today even though it is a bit of a pick n mix affair. Done the ITV7 and from them a Win Trixie ⁕⁕⁕ plus an E/W Acca, Trebles, and Doubles**** Good luck if you have a punt. Beautiful day here again but a bit nippy in the shade.

It is more fun gardening. :(( Mark Johnson looks like he could do well today I said to myself. Then missed all 4 of his winners in the first 5 races and picked his runners that didn't win. He is off home early with the money.

[Ken4155]

In addition to the win single on Small Present (9/2) i also did the rev f/c with the Henderson runner. T'other 3 in the L15 managed a place -Silva Eclipse just hanging on to 5th, but Sky were being generous - so any loss will be minimal. That said, i am still in the Carlisle Placepot but have just seen my selection (Kalaharry) is a n/r, so i'm hoping the fav places. Uptown Harry currently fav but there are 2 others vying for that spot.

[Ken4155]

The 3 vying for fav spot all got placed, eventual fav 3rd, and the PP paid £62.20.So, a decent profit at the end of the day.
I say 'end of the day' but i do have a L15 going at Wolverhampton this evening ;-))

Well done Ken. I think I need to pay more attention to what is going on in the racing, been opeless for ages now.

Richard Johnson has just announced that he is retiring from riding. He has done his shift that's for sure.

Yeah, i watched his announcement on Sky Racing, Togo. Pity he couldn't go out with a winner but this is the real world, not a fairy story. Luke Harvey was interviewing him and it was a toss up who sounded more choked :-)
£15 less profit than i thought. A non-runner in the 2.40 Haddock took the numbers down so they only paid out on 4th place :-(

[grumpy01]

I think I’d be in tears being interviewed by Luke Harvey.What a prat.

[Ken4155]

Wasn't much of a rider, either, grumpy :-)
Though, as my dear, departed mum would say, "His heart's in the right place."

[grumpy01]

Talking of interviewers,is Robert Cooper still on Sky Sports Racing?He always seemed to have an easy way of talking with racing people.

[Ken4155]

Yeah, old Bob's still there. Either in the studio or at one of the northern meetings. Quite down to earth, is Bob.
