Just seen the horse that Lankeela owns a small part of (Huelgoat) is back over hurdles in the 5-runner 3.25 at Worcester. Evens fav. Best of luck, Lanky.

Good luck, all.

Again 5 races from York (1st leg 1.50), form the bulk of the ITV7, with Newbury making up the numbers.

Not too sure if Lady Luck is sending me a message. I commented on the 'Do You Give Up On Books' thread, saying 'From A Buick 8' was the book i keep giving up on.

Then i read the thread about golf swings/slices, and noted a mention of the Buick open some years ago, where Corey Pavin sliced a shot that smashed through the windscreen of a Buick.

Then had a quick look at the York card to see William Buick with a full book of rides -some of them quite well fancied.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm :-)

[Ken4155]

If Lady Luck is sending me messages, i'm ignoring them:-)

2.05 N'b; Wisper @ 18/1 (e.w. 16/1 for 6 places)

Win singles, 20p L15, 50p e.w. acca (365) £1 e.w. acca (Sky). 4 placed = £54, 4 winners = £7,358.

Also done Rival, Regal Envoy and Australian Angel in a 50p RRobin, £1 e.w. Treble for a poss £542 - and 3 placepots, as you do:-)

ITV&; Persian Dancer, Wisper, Queen For You, Spirit Dancer, Resolute Man, Siskany and Kathab. £1 e.w. acca.

Also fancy Pledge Of Honour (2.05 N'b) to run well so i've had a small e.w. @ 25s to 6 places.
