***LIVE BLOG UPDATE*** @Siox87 phones. Can I set him up a double. Yes mate, where for? Thirsk and Newmarket. Gives horse name. Not there. Might be at Newbury. Takes ages to set up doubles. Finally we set it up. "How much mate?". A tenner.... it'll probably win 😁
***LIVE BLOG FROM THIRSK*** Preamble is up. Next update is where @Siox87 picks (wrongly) and I'll post here every time we update the blog. Idea is we'll post Losers, Snoozers, Winners and Jackpots on the off and a quick summary of our joy/misery after andystallard1967.wixsite.com/cairnbet/post/…
Used to play 5 a side on a Sunday morning in Bootle. Often after a night out in MacMillans or The Pink Parrot the night before. Reminiscent of this but without the 150 grand a week.
A serious question, how many stables would allow one of their horses to win at 300/1……..I know one that wouldn’t and it starts with S and ends with N🤷♂️
Recovery mission today at @MusselburghRace Double blog tonight where we’ll also report whether @racingoncourse embraced his warm, fuzzy side and hugged a student. See you there.
Massive for Leeds in their cup final. A depleted United were brilliant, add half of the missing brigade it’s a no contest.
The problem with this United is it’s the hope that kills you.
Account closures and restrictions keep shutting out the very people who support racing.
As @Greg_Wood_ highlights, a minimum bet rule would give punters a fair chance to get on and keep the market healthy. Long overdue to consider it.
