Mr Makybe has just come home I will watch the rest if this tomorrow.

This is much better than last week's programme. I switched that off after 10 minutes.

They gave him 18s a 16/1 shot for £20 so effectively he gave them the 2 points back.

That Steve guy just signed his resignation letter with that performance.
And I don't think the girl will hang around him for much longer either.

I think Steve is not all that dumb, and was playing up to his I love a bet image which he portrays in his column.

That bloke with cap was funny.

When I first saw him go and get his paper at 6am, put on his horse racing garb, touch his lucky horseshoe and go on about how being at the track gives you an edge, I thought he was gonna have some decent bets. At least a fifty or a ton a time. Pi55ed myself when he put his £1 on.

Then I thought, he's got a better gambling life than me. He has nice days out at the track with his girlfriend, can win a few quid to pay for his day out and maybe nab a little profit. Plus, he's never gonna get in trouble with his staking, and during the week, he goes back to caring for disabled people.

Got the right idea imo. You just think though, even if he'd a stuck just a couple of quid extra on those 18 and 20/1 shots, he'd have had a blinding day.

Agreed, treble. I liked his idea of watching who's talking to who.For instance the trainer who had 2 horses in the race, and all the frantic chat involved the outsider of the two. Or maybe he just got lucky.

Yes Kenny, I'm just trying out my new system .

- Big  hooves on soft ground = Winners

I have no idea which horse has the biggest feet so I've made no bets today.
By:
kenny mann
When: 28 Jul 15 16:36
I see, Mmh, the chap ,last night said smaller feet go less deeply into the surface so the horse will go faster.
By:

When: 28 Jul 15 17:03
No sorry Kenny the chap with the flat cap said "We're looking for horses with bigger feet not small feet cause  smaller feet go deeper into the ground"

But it's OK Kenny I understand you were looking to much at his girlfriend and not paying attention to what he was talking about. Laugh

Have a look again on bbc Iplayer - at 12.30 minutes.

I did and you're correct. Do you get a good enough view on TV to employ this strategy?
By:

When: 28 Jul 15 19:21
Sadly not, and the form books don't give any information on this subject either. So there's definitely a gap in the market.
I'm thinking of going round the country with a ruler, take hooves measurements, make a website. WWW.Racehorsesfeetsize.co.uk/. then go Dragons' Den and make millions.
