Pigeon Island 50-1, Rooster Booster 40-1, Albertas Run 33-1, Great Endeavour 28-1 but the best winner for cash was Rock On Ruby 16-1 and 12-1 last year. Shaping up to be my biggest winner again this year although First Lieutenant in the Ryanair would also be nice.

Quick question Roger...if I go for a treble where all of them are under NRNB and one doesnt run does it just become a double I take it? Nice treble btw Yes, if you have NRNB on all horses in a treble and one is ruled out you just have an ante-post double. I didn't have NRNB on that treble as I placed it back in December. Still remember putting it on in cash at the Coral betting shop at Sandown Park on Tingle Creek Day! |

KICKING KING, I backed this horse after watching it finish 2nd to well chief in the previous years Arkle at 33/1 for the following season,s gold cup,2 wins out of 3 including the King George left me in a very good position that season, only for the news in January that the horse was out for the season, I was gutted, then my friend phoned me when I was at a golf outing the week before the gold cup and told me KK was back in contention, I thought it was a wynd up untill I seen the RP the next day, so what a pleasure it was for me sitting in the stands at Cheltenham cheering it home, as Mick Fitzgerald once said Better than sex.

Denman. Not the biggest priced winner I ever backed, but the most I ever collected from AP betting. Backed him from 8's all the way down to 2's for the RSA. And was simultaneously backing him at at 33's for the Gold Cup the following year. So one seasons AP betting yielded two brilliant wins.
Actually collected more from the RSA but both were very nice pay days, and he will forever hold a place in my heart  |

Pretty sure 20s was still there on the day of the race, my wife's whole office were on it on the day (they asked her to ask me for a tip knowing I was into racing!) On that Thursday I'd 25/1 Alberta's Run, 16/1 Coper Bleu and 25/1 Great Endeavour. All in singles. Even a few small each way doubles would have been great i was there that day and backed those 3 also had buena vista, best day ever if only i could repeat it |

Rooster Booster
started backing him in the October, before he won the Champion, right after he beat Mr Cool 7 lengths, hard held on the bridle in what was a blistering time (had a solid 135 horse about 65 lengths behind). I made him easily a 171 horse based on that. was already aware that he had the potential but that performance sealed the deal, got on at all rates from 25/1 down, put him in ew multiples galore, put all my friends and family and people I just knew all over the place even described almost exactly how the race would go (Intersky Falcon to lead at a very fast pace, race to fall apart, Booster hacks up) Was still getting on as much as possible on the day at 13/2 glorious day my brother phoned me straight after the race and screamed down the line "YESSSSSS" like a total loony |

Best ante post ticket I ever had was one that didn't come off.
Hurricane Fly 80/1 for Go Natives's Supreme Novice. Backed him before he ran in Ireland and did handstands in Leopardstown the day he beat Go Native 10 lengths without raising a gallop. He never got to Cheltenham. |

Cue Card at 40/1 and Looks Like Trouble at 40/1 after he won at Sandown prior to winning the Sun Alliance.
Closest near miss was The Fellow at 50/1 although did back Garrison Savannah on the day. Also backed Topsham Bay for the National Hunt Chase but that was on course. |
