Unlucky today diddles, and if a horse can win on heavy at Navan it has nothing to fear from the going a few miles down the road. So good luck.

whodareswins- im not so sure about bad luck - light from mars was badly drawn - im not sure him missing the kick stopped him winning- his run was interupted slightly but right on the line he was stopping-
Hes posibly the best horse in the race- but looking back at the replay I think Nick Luck must have had his knickers on it- the way he was waxing lyrical before and after. Pipes horse met up with a very good improving animal- they are both on the upgrade big style. the rest were only visible via the internet.
thanks for the support

people take stick on here a lot didles - it is refreshing to have a new poster on here, however i suppose your good start and a few blips, kind of set you up for a fall - but stick to your guns mate and all is well....i agree if zaarito stands up - he wins...however he has cost me a small fortune this year so a big if...it is a cracking race and we could take an angle on quite a few...certainly not a 2 dogger by any means..Mccoy and Kempes is very interesting - lots of ability and AP may really get this lad digging deep, when in the past he has been known to shirk it at near top level...roberto goldback must be considered, with trainer form and has a good engine and deal done at a big price, could nick a place....anyways i did my nuts today, but pulled it back on boxing with Haye inside 9 (phew) and by KO/TKO...so not so bad - but still not great...you cant pick them every day, but you seem an ok guy - apart from when you bite ...we have all been there lol..and rolled with the punches - David Haye style lol

Horse to take from that race was Dunno imo, think that was a bit of a prep for Sandown at the end of April and ran really well in defeat.
Report RyanWe April 4, 2010 12:53 AM BST
Come on though, tipping without justification is just lazy. You have one bad day and you're already starting to question your judgement, and starting to listen to the majority that Zaarito will win.. sort yourself out man! If the majority always got it right, then a lot of punters would be rich right.

Just seen who he beat into second for that race last year, could be interesting :D

Not really looked through the race but Shakervilz is crying out for this trip and Zaarito may be better on better ground.

the bus Kempes is a most progresive sort its the big race thats why i fancied looking at it. Mullins horses have been slow to come to hand this year and he did have a bug in the yard for some time - I think his horse will improve tomorrow. But we will see at 3.30.

haha, obviously Tom Segal was reading last night and decided to tip it too! I even noticed reading Hugh Taylor earlier today that he considered tipping it too, strange eh. You backed Vitznau right? Was pretty annoyed with the withdrawal of outsider, but guess it didn't matter as Ceremonial Jade came 7th anyway. Considering we both had good draws, just weren't made enough use of from the mediocre gallop.

Attention seeking behavior
A child that wants attention will get it by some means. This is usually done in a positive way. They do a drawing or perform a play but by offering an adult the best of what they have to offer they seek and hopefully get some attention. In general children who are well adjusted tend to need attention on a little and not very often basis. As long as attention is given when needed, which is usually the case, things run smoothly. However, some children seem to have an insatiable desire for attention. They get positive attention galore yet they want more. They misbehave and quickly realise that certain behaviors can't be ignored by adults and engage in them. The class teacher will tell you they spend vast quantities of their time with the child yet it is never enough. The child if observed in class will be engaging in a whole host of activities all of which appear geared toward getting attention. It would be nothing noteworthy for children like this to have the teacher intervene with them every 2-3 minutes.

Often parents and teachers are confused. They will tell the psychologist that the child gets lots of attention, much more than any other member of the class, something that is supported by observation. The important thing to remember with humans, in such cases, is that we are never dealing with concrete realities. What we are dealing with is perceptions. If is rather convenient to see the child's thinking in terms of there being a black box through which all thinking must pass. The black box contains one simple instruction that is, "I do not get enough attention" . If we take on board this simple assumption we can now see why the child will behave in an attention seeking way for, instance after being taken out for a wonderful day out and absolutely showered with attention they come home and do something totally silly that guarantees more attention, albeit negative. So what to do?

The following intervention is extraordinarily powerful. It works just about every time and the only reason it fails is because the adult stops. Children never tire of this intervention. The intervention takes about ten minutes each day and is focused on the child's perceptual system.

Special Time.
Tell the child that they will be getting a special time each day.


Then each day tell them that special time will start in 2 minutes.
Tell the child that special time will start now.
Engage in special time.
Tell the child that special time will end in 2 minutes.
Tell the child that special time will end now.

You have therefore told the child four times that they are getting special time.

During special time the child may choose to do anything that is reasonable. They may want to watch a video with you or make a cake (use a ready made mix) for instance. Do not teach. Simply watch the child, helping if they request it, never offer. The adult watches the child and every so often sums up what the child is doing with praise for the skills shown. For instance I love the way you cuddle me. I love the way you are mixing that cake mix. This shows that the adult is paying attention. The analogy usually used is bathing the child in a warm bath of positive attention.

Do this every day.
Do not under any circumstances take away the special time as a sanction.
Even if the child has had an awful day, special time must occur.
