Very true mad dog man, so many of the oldtimers have long since left this mortal coil

Mad Dog.. if you are passing Hendon.. Put me 40 rubs on Berry Picker in the 6th race.. and while you are at Park Royal back Acton Playboy in the last, good fast starting railer.

By:
Preselected will win the last at Park Royal from trap 6.
|
|
By:
Sparrow.. want a side bet ?.. I thought Clapton was your Gaff... if you are over there its Pestolozzi in the last , trap 6 bundles of early and its bucketing down ..!!
|
|
By:
As Winja said it makes him sad to look back at how it was.. Its Gut Wrenching to see how great it once was.
|
|
By:
Matso, I remember Pestalozzi well, but I also went to Harringay and followed Park Royal on the old blower service!
|
|
By:
Makes me sad as well matso, I went to at least 100 meetings a year regularly for two decades going all over the place. Last three years I've been to about 15. Absolutely heartbreaking what has happened to the game
 |
|
By:
This is making me so sad , how could the game end up like this.
|
|
By:
im now even more sad that i've made all you old layers and players sad.....this is really becoming sad.....
|
|
By:
that preselected was the first time i heard a commentary in betting shop
|
|
By:
The saddest thing for me is the total lack of atmosphere these days at the tracks. I went to Sheffield recently and the bookmakers ring was near deserted, with the bars full of people in parties betting on the tote.

|
By:
Slippy.. Im the same , I dont even go any more.. theres no where I like.
Sparrow, that Bitch Pestalozzi won me a 'Grand' over at Clapton years ago.. it seemed like a chunk at the time.. mind you it probably was at the time ..!! |
|
