Cheers sint and also Hamish the place. Part of me would have preferred him to win as I had been going on about him on Manuels thread. Just shows that sometimes it pays to follow a horse off a cliff as far as WK is concerned

That's pretty much it for the flat for me. It's been a difficult season due the very wet weather so ultimately pleased to have walked away with profit. I guess that has been the reason that the thread has gradually ebbed away as the season has progressed. Anyway hats off and respect to liam for a great result from far more selective bets.

So I'm going to Ascot on Saturday and when I go racing I nearly always have a small bet on each race. To having something to support on the day I shall sign off with a few bets working on the assumption it will remain soft, esp on round course

Long Distance Cup - Hawaafez 2pts win 11/1 Baldy
Sprint - Sirius Prospect 1pt win 16/1`WH ( will back Slade Power if it dries out )
F + M - Sapphire 2pts win 9/2 Baldy
QE11 - Cityscape 1pt win 9/2 Baldy

+ 141

Hopefully I'll need to post again to provide an update.

Sorry if any of you back against him, just hoping Frankel puts in a massive performance.

Roo, I dont know if you or Liam want to start next season Flat thread? Reason being only one firm is holding 25/1 about Moojaahim now. Several have cut since Sunday.

Well done on your haul of cash!

Patience Sint !!

Well I've had 2pts win on Mooj and 1pt win on WAN at 16s for 1000 -also Toronado but price gone

We know we've backed him , but lets leave the thread until next year

Wd roobuck on what I'd call a huge points total....

Thanks Askari - where did you do btw?

Disappointed you've lost faith in HC soul - will bet him on course and probably too much if I've drunk a lot and had a good day.

roo..just think Jack Dexter improving, extra furlong, soft ground will be hard to beat. Might prove one race too many for HC.

Congrats to all those who came through a difficult season in some kind of profit

Its been an enjoyable thread with a bit of banter. Its also good to note other's betting methods as well, hoping to learn a bit on the NH one this season.

Me and sint already have the winner of the 2000 Guineas next year so try and catch up when you can

Well done all profit makers especially the mighty Lips. I got disheartened even looking at him after Galway, he's the new Plat at the mo- awesome.
Low point here backing Ayr Gold and Silver Cup winners for the first and probably only time and failing to post them on here- still didn't make any meaningful coin this Flat.
Always keep learning watching the juges on here- well done again and roll on the Jumps.
