The 3rd in my on-going series of chats with @dwmh David Hipkin about our personal sharp betting using @SharpBettingGB football picks is live, it's been a topsy turvy month. simonnott.co.uk/blog-racing/th…

It's not in their genes. How the Fun Police trying to ruin our sport of horseracing and freedom to do what we like pulling up our own money to bet are maybe missing their minerals if not marbles! simonnott.co.uk/blog-racing/pi… @TeamMatchbook @MB_Brokerage #MatchbookLovesRacing

Great news for fans of 1st Class Brett, number 26 is the cheerful one! @Bet1stclass

@SimonNott @IsTheNext94 @OostendeKoerse @DVanlerberghe @StarSports_Bet @020Visuals @optimum_racing If you want to see how he's progressed 4 years later, Haedens rides in Madrid Spain next week and is actually down to ride one I have a very minor share in that was formerly trained by Alan King... how's that for a story!

@alankav44727410 @Thebullet1962 @carvillshill @StarSports_Bet Of course

@SimonNott @Thebullet1962 @carvillshill @StarSports_Bet Only if you boys are buying

Knock Three Times runner-up at Goodwood returned industry SP 11/2, @StarSports_Bet were 15/2 at the off despite having her a loser in the book for £3800. #ComeRacing

@JamesMakey1917 @IsTheNext94 @OostendeKoerse @DVanlerberghe @StarSports_Bet @020Visuals @optimum_racing Brilliant!

I’m at @OostendeKoerse I’ve just done a #BettingPeople interview with on-course bookmaker @DVanlerberghe , @StarSports_Bet Kellvin @020Visuals is making a film of the trip and Andrew Lowrie @optimum_racing is sorting out 10 winners.

@Thebullet1962 @alankav44727410 @carvillshill @StarSports_Bet Splendid idea!

@SimonNott @alankav44727410 @carvillshill @StarSports_Bet I know its true -- so do most people that go racing -- 15/2 at Star 11/2 SP is not fiction. Lets invite Alan for a day at the races -- happy to buy the chap a beer and discuss .

@alankav44727410 @Thebullet1962 @carvillshill @StarSports_Bet It’s an absolutely 100% true reflection of what I see.

@SimonNott @Thebullet1962 @carvillshill @StarSports_Bet Not negative at all Simon. The picture you sometimes paint is not a true reflection

@Thebullet1962 @alankav44727410 @carvillshill @StarSports_Bet Al seems like a nice chap but he can come across a bit negative tiz true.

@alankav44727410 @SimonNott @carvillshill @StarSports_Bet No real money on the machine, thus, bigger players ( I am not - I rarely bet more than 1000/ 1200 quid nowadays) return to the course. I have never seen Alan on course, would he good to say hello and understand why he is so anti on-course books. Ciao Michael

@SmarterSig @StarSports_Bet Thank you. I’m not sure if there this year but will see you if I am.

@SimonNott @StarSports_Bet I will be at York in August for the Ebor meeting , happy to buy you a pint. usually have a couple in town during the evening followed by an Indian and you are welcome to join

A farmer dies in April 2026. His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847. The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle. On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify. In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable. The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft. The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let. A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up. The Treasury collects £140,000. The land never produces British food again.

@SmarterSig @StarSports_Bet Come and say hello next time you are at the races Mark.

@SimonNott @StarSports_Bet Going racing can be a pleasant day out but when it comes to placing bets use your phone and the exchanges for the best value
