A full day of racing on today with 4 very good cards. Took my time, not that it will do me much good, choosing my selections but have spent the morning kicking myself. I had a look at yesterdays racing without having a punt but did notice that our friend Dr Koukash had runners going last night at Chester. I did intend to have a little look and see whether I could repeat my "Gabrial" success of 2 weeks ago. Early evening a pal called to give us a quote and a bit of advice regards changing the gas boiler before winter and I completely forgot about the racing as we had a chat and a bit of catch up. Looked this morning and Koukash had a 1087/1 treble in. Doh…..would have paid for the ruddy boiler. I will be doing his runners at Chester later on! For now I have done this.

Morning Togo and good luck. I, on the other hand, did have a punt at Chester last night. You are, of course, aware that a certain Paul Hanagan is my fav pilot. I did his last 3 rides (he was down to ride National League in the 6.20 but only 7 runners - my paper has Mathers down as having ridden tha one?) in a 50p patent, 75p e.w. treble @ 10/1, 11/4 and 13/2. Watched all 3 win and was expecting £437.71 - didn't realise that Nafaayes had taken a walk - but received £697.32 :-) :-) Been quite busy studying the football (minor Euro leagues) for my usual Sat acca so i have only just picked the racing pages up. Don't know if i'll be able to back against any of Hanagan's rides, though :-/
See ya later.
Hmm not a good start. Emblazoned doesn't look to have trained on after a good 3yr old season. Time to forget that one methinks. 2 bad runs in 3 weeks. Sky have closed your account gollob? Did they say why, or give you any warning? Were you caning them?
An eye catching run from Escobar up at York. Mystery Power got me off the mark and my single win on it pays for the cover on the last 5 of my picks. All is not lost.
