Sept 7-10 Doncaster St Leger meeting Sept 15-17 Ayr Gold Cup meeting Sept 22-24 Newmarket Cambridgeshire meeting Oct 7-8 Newmarket Cesarewitch meeting appear fairly certain - don't know if there are any other flat meetings to be considered Oct 21-22 Doncaster Racing Post Trophy meeting ? jumps Oct 28-29 Wetherby Bet365 Charlie Hall Chase meeting Nov 11-13 Cheltenham Paddy Power Gold Cup meeting Nov 24-26 Newbury Hennessy meeting Dec 2-3 Sandown Tingle Creek Chase meeting Dec 26 Kempton King George VI Chase I've probably missed some out and put in others which you are not having. The less the better imo |

Spot the difference in yesterdays placepots Chepstow - 5 favourites placed - it paid £24 Huntingdon - 5 favourites placed - it paid £37 Cartmel - 5 winning favourties and the 11/2 3rd best in a 4 horse race I generaly cover all the runners in 2, 3 and 4 horse races. I never had a bet as it looked as if it was going to pay peanuts if all the short prices obliged. It paid a staggering £172 [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy] |

Southwell lays - based on stallion stats
5-10 - Bea Persuasive - about 200-1  and those to back (stallion stats) 5-40 - Outpost - ran here once, was backed from 14s to 8s, Cathy Gannon pulled the blindfold off too late when leaving the stalls  lost ground, finished 5th (12 ran) - may not win, but a price of 36 is far too big imo 7-40 - Lion Court - never run here before but progeny of Ifraaj have a good record here - already been backed from 5.6 down to 4.2 |

U.S. Womens Open tennis longshot tip for trading [smiley:crazy]
Lucie Safarova won her first round match last night. The other seed in her part of the draw (Kvitova) was knocked out. She's left handed, which can be awkward for her opponents as the ball spins the opposite way towards regular right handers when she serves (So was Kvitova left handed - but never mind) The price of 300 is bound to go if she beats unseeded Keys in her 2nd round match, and then faces either Dulgheru or Niculescus in the 3rd roud, neither of whom are seeded. She won't win the title, but the further she gets, the more the price should drop.  |

Layed off too much in the final furlong as I was trying to play in win and place markets but only had one window open, normally I have two open, one for each.
Still, by the time I tip another 66-1 winner the Olympics will be finished |

Nibbsy tipped a footie team in Brazil at 12-15 a.m. Me and Muntz followed him in, as you do.
They were 2.46 at kick off, and within 3 minutes were a goal down. In another few minutes they were 2-0 down. Before 10 minutes had gone in total, the home team grabbed one back.  Later on they equalised and it was 2-2  I said to Muntz 'The best way to get a goal is to go outside for a smoke' [smiley:crazy] [smiley:crazy] I was gone about 10 minutes. When I came back, the home team had taken the lead 3-2. I traded out at about 1.23 A few minutes later the away team had a player sent off. Then the home team scored again and they won 4-2 Well done Nibbs |

Struggling to beat Keys at the moment Been trading for ages on her price, she's been as low as 1.2 and as high as 4.2 |

Lucie Safarova still available at 260 [smiley:crazy]
She faces non-seed Monica Niculescu in the 3rd round and will hopefully dispense with her in 2 sets. She then faces the winner of the Alla Kudryavtseva v Angelique Kerber match, who, while both being unseeded, have each put a seed out. Kudryavtseva knocked out Wickmayer, seeded 20th, 2 sets to 0, and Kerber knocked out Radwanska, seeded 12th, 2 sets to 1, but she had a right struggle to do it in the early hours of this morning. If Safarova can get through these two unscathed she will probably face Maria Sharapova in the quarter finals, But her price must surely drop from 260 if she gets that far, before being slaughtered by Sharapova, who is in devastating form, walloping aces all over the place this morning. I also backed Sabine Lisicki (seeded 22) (big, strong, German  ) at 28 a few weeks back, but for some reason she drifted to 55. She beat Bondarenko in the first round, and had a walkover against Venus Williams, so she's fresh for her next match against the unseeded Falconi. She's now 17.5 and I'm not trading out yet, but if she wins, she will face either Garrigues, seeded 30 or Zvonareva, seeded 2. We shallse how the betting goes if she gets that far. New balls please !! |

I have just read on the tennis forum that Zvonareva - the number 2 seed, has withdrawn from the womens doubles.
She is supposed to play against Sabine Lisickie at 3-00 a.m. tomorrow. Let's hope it's nothing trivial.  [:p] |

One to note down -
Illustration - trained by Mark Johnston, whose horses I rarely back, but there was fack all else in the race that looked like it would like the going. His sire is Pivotal, who generally like a bit of give in the ground Out with the washing until making giant strides in the last 150 yards - ran on to be 4th, last price matched for a place was 50s by somebody who thought it was out of it That was only his 2nd race - bound to improve. |

chepstow 4.50 Tuscan King
Trainer has the fav & Tuscan King in this race, the fav beat Tuscan last time out into second by 3 lengths, the second is now 11lb better off, why not put the claimer on the fav to negate the hcp difference ? Tuscan has had two uninspiring runs since but trainers last three winners have all been with claimers on board so I would be surprised if Tuscan is not the main trier of the two. Around the 14/1 mark Good luck |

If I am going to be that wrong I think I should give the game up |

A mature lady gets pulled over for speeding...
Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer? Traffic Cop: Yes ma'am, I'm afraid you were speeding. Older Woman: Oh, I see. Traffic Cop: Can I see your license please? Older Woman: Well, I would give it to you but I don't have one. Traffic Cop: Don't have one? Older Woman: No. I lost it 4 years ago for drunk driving. Traffic Cop: I see....Can I see your vehicle registration papers please. Older Woman: I can't do that. Traffic Cop: Why not? Older Woman: I stole this car. Traffic Cop: Stole it? Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner. Traffic Cop: You what!? Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see The traffic cop looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car while calling for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun. Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle. Older woman: Is there a problem sir? Officer 2: My colleague here tells me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner. Older Woman: Murdered the owner? Are you serious?! Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please. The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk. Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am? Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers. The traffic cop is quite stunned. Officer 2: My colleague claims that you do not have a driving license. The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer. The officer examines the license quizzically. Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, but I am puzzled, as I was told by my officer here that you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner! Older Woman: Bet the lying bastard told you I was speeding, too.. |
