that's great Alan. But can you tell us the purpose of this thread?

We're not knockers. It's a forum where people talk about racing. Unfortunately the boy gerorge lover and his apostles cause trouble on here, and think the world is out to get them. It's a internet forum, where people talk about horses. This isn't Holywood, and nobody wants anyones autograph. It's also a lack of respect for other posters. I done not too bad myself, but i'm aware that not everybody wins, so i keep hush and move on to the next race. Next year i could lose, and others can have their day.

I think maybe if Judo wound his neck in a bit and stopped taking peoples opposing views so much to heart as if they are some kind of personal sleight he'd be a very interesting person to debate the issues with.

As far as I can remember one of his trends was that the short list selections had to have won a race in the current season. Surely this trend did not change due to last years result.

Another old trend that used to be spouted was that previous years RSA winner could be discounted (not sure if you applied that rule Judo although I do remember having a conversation about Garrison Savannah who was a non-winning RSA winner who also failed every other test).

A winning 20/1 selection of a big race is always nice, but I can't see which relevant trend Lord W really fitted.

actually fellas in last years Arkle my bet was a maximum lay in win and place of Ghizao precisely because his hurdle form was way out of line with the others (was rated 135 or something) and was 4/1 SP which was way too short. I often use such the trends to do lays like that rather than backing 1 or two to win.

first of many i believe.

judorick going to dominate this thread in months to come

fck you I never after time, I been posting bets on forums for donkeys years

after timing is when you claim something after the event when you never posted it before the race

you will never catch me doing that

and I wont be around for months with the bunch of knuts there are on these boards

I was warned by the guys on both OLBG and Marias forum, they said this place was full of people more interested in arguing, poking fun and taking the michael than actually discussing betting and how to improve at it...

they were right

[b]I tell you what, I have posted on forums for many years and I am a well known judge. Ask Pieceofcake, he knows my record elsewhere which is outstanding - as I showed by predicting the exact 1-2-3 in the International Hurdle in a thread started by The Honest Scouser called "Menorah tmoz" where I also said lay Menorah in the place market on Friday night.[/b]

Never mind, I'll go back to OLBG those guys actually wanna talk racing

The signs were there from day 1

A buddy of mine received his e-mail 'advice' this year.  From what he told me, huge number of darts thrown to little or no effect and no focus on or measure of profitability.  Bailed out by some mystery antepost 'picks' not mentioned prior to the event.

he does dunlaying, he also put this info on the horse racing forum at the beginning of the festival, and put up another thread on chelt forum the morning of the gold cup, so to those calling him an aftertimer are either gutted from not following him in or just plain jealous, me on the other hand give credit where credit is due so

WELL DONE JUDO

he also may suffer from keyboard tourettes, so I won,t hold that against him

Judo it's nice to see you post on here and it doesn't surprise me you picked out the winner of the gold cup. Post more often. Do you have a blog or anything for all of this analysis you do?

Good article Shockster. Obviously it's not just relevant to Judo, but to the many who openly brag about winning a bet, and use various methods of after timing. Many of these people are getting on a bit in age. I'll tell you what though, i don't think they do it for self esteem purposes, i think they do it to annoy people. These people know they will rub some people up the wrong way, and that's one of the reasons they do it. No matter what these forum loud mouths say, i don't see any of them writing articles for respectable British racing sources. The main reason for that is that you men and woman on site can pick one out. What your big names in two bob forums do is back a bunch of horses for a race, then wait untilm closer to the time and pick their strongest bet, and tell people it's their biggest potential winner, whilst saying nothing about the 4 or 5 others they backed.

Those are real?

Yes fair point Graeme.

Sint - that is his name you key in, but his screen name is The Judge.

shockster,
   thanks for that mr.basquill link, absolutely brilliant. Liked his piece on trainers, journalists and non-triers too. Best read I've had for ages.

I think you're probably right CCM, but they do sound like Judo.

so the auroras tweet is just coincidence then???

can confirm I do not tweet under @TheJudge, that's nothing to do with me

some of my followers do refer to me as 'judge' though

I can confirm my friends sometimes refer to me as old twelve inches.

How did Rick do in the national and more importantly have the scum been apprehended who broke into his garage?
