Hamilton 8:00 looks interesting aceform...

some interesting participants imv...

one to keep an eye on imv...

(if you are still with us that is ?).

He's down in Kent with Mitool, stopping the boats.

when aceform said he was off to Perth for a shopping trip...

i thought he meant Perth SCOTLAND...

little did i know he actually meant Perth AUSTRALIA...

g'day mate...

fair dunkum.

Have you checked your cellar??

I'm going tonight so will watch for the brown envelopes being handed out at 8.00.

It just looks like a typical Hamilton sprint.they have to run to get the mark down.

any race with Mulrennan/Mullen and Haslam in it is definitely worth keeping an eye on imv the dealer.

I will be surprised, if anything outside the top two in the betting wins but been wrong loads of times before.
The majority are so inconsistent that you really don't know what to expect. It's not a great card but there looks a couple of races worth a bet.

Hopefully Rhythmic Acclaim will be pointed in the right direction in the 15.45 at Yarmouth…..

Regarding Hamilton hibb there are three obvious ones tbh….

Parisiac In the 20.00

Iris Dancer is showing signs for another course win….in the 20.30

And Joe should win on French Haven in the ‘ lucky last ‘all in my humble opinion….

Thought you'd be down in Kent with forum fav Mitool stopping the boaties.
There's incoming imminent.

Haslam horse been taken out of the 8:00 i see...

Strange outfit hibb…

i saw Parisiac had been backed a bit aceform...

i think i will wait till closer to the race to see what the market really thinks tbh.

A good capable claim off the horse hibb….

like i say i will wait till 60 seconds before the race starts to see what the market REALLY thinks aceform...

Haslam horse was a self cert (going) job...

what the heck did they declare on ?

heavy ?

back of the net...

An obvious one hibb…

Money back from the last run tbh….

all obvious once they've won tbh aceform.

i see Classy Al beat the 'hotpot' aceform...

didn't see the race tbh.

On the bridle…

The gruesome twosome…..

The Jardine horse looked all over the place…

Who said i was skint Einstein ?

will watch the replay aceform.

Apologies.

Prob shoulda said - This is why you are doing your bollix every year.

1 up 1 down 2 to come…..

another one in the onion bag aceform.

7th C & D for the horse hibb,the money was down there…

Mullen rides the track well….when in the ‘mood’….

Mullen...Mulrennan...Haslam...Goldie...Jardine...

the famnous 5.

Goldie & his fav boy are a strange pair…..

Famous Sunday series coming this weekend….interesting..

you lumping today's winnings on Emma @ 1.27 tomorrow aceform ?

Lol….eh! ……no…

I’ll take 2 - 4…..

Profit

Old Joe maybe requires some WD40 in the old joints lol…..

A decent night's racing, with nothing untoward as far as I seen. The Goldie sprint winner must have one of the highest head carriages I've seen for a winner but did it well.
It wasn't busy and a lovely night for sitting out with a drink. Unfortunately a pint and a can of iron bru at over a tenner was very excessive.

Miss my nights at Hamilton the dealer tbh….used to travel in 30 mins…..perfect sun trap and good racing…

Tenner for a beer and soft drink is taking the p big time….

Burger and soft drink at Perth bordering on £15…..wtf…

It's £8 a pint now in plenty of places in London, the first £10 pint can't be far away.

That Goldie winner did look awkward but he still went forward, maybe he gave Mulrennan a bloody nose in the process which is no bad thing.

[b]GREED[/b, pure and simple, in the meantime course managements are scratching their heads trying to work out why attendance figures are dropping through the floor.!

Screwing the fodder blind tbh….

I am off to Yarmouth soon and will let you know cost of a pint this year, last year was about £7.8 ish. Went into the Covenanter bar in Falkland and a pint of heavy and a diet coke was £9.87, is this average in Scotland or tourist prices?

Was a lot of tourists but saw a few old boy locals in the bar.

That sounds about right Cag…Perthshire is much the same….slap dab steak and chips x 2 and drinks over £40…..

i just wouldn't pay those sort of prices ANYWHERE tbh...

never mind at a racecourse.

rides like Queally's yesterday...

price of food and drink through the roof...

and they all want us to go racing...

i have a message for them...

get fkn lost.

I refused at Perth last season hibb….Aberdeen Angus burger and soft drink (no fries) £12.50….

No thanks…ta…

We usually eat before and after going racing but today having lunch in the Trafalgar Restaurant on course, just over £150 for two including premier entry and racecard so sounds like good value then Quixall? Depends on standard of food I suppose but past experience there was ok.

Standard of food almost a thing of the past tbh….

Catering for hundreds won’t get much care imv…

can't understand why folk pay those prices tbh aceform...

we're all different (thank God) but i just wouldn't even think about it.

Btw got an email saying they have added a race and the last race will now be 1755 hrs, nothing showing on RP yet.

Most of the food is pre frozen and dreadful tbh….

Definitely swifty that would have been nice

Biggest cheer of the night was for Iris Dancer, surving a stewards and an atempted bite from the runner up. The trainer does some job getting her back to a winning mark.

I didn't quite understand that stewards. Thought Iris might have said something nasty to the second and the stewards are starting to consider this!

Wokism hits racing!

Looked minimal contact

There was a similar incident many years ago, can't remember the horse, although it got plenty of media coverage.

I want to say it was the horse that finished second in Sir Percy's derby

i think Asian Heights tried to bite some horse one day the dealer...

i could very well be wrong tho.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogW_eXSLyGA

that was the US one I remember.

That one had a right go !!!


That rings  a bell HH

Ubedizzy took no prisoners….

One i remember vividly was a Vincent horse named Marinsky , tried to bite lumps out of others and the stable nicknamed him Jaws.

....also remember an old fav of many named Ubedizzy who bit someone's finger off , think it was a stable lad or groom.

Sorry Ace didn't see your post

Difficult looking cards imv….possible place laying in one or two…..

Higher Kingdom in the 20:20 Leopardstown could be of interest if the price is right win & place…

Hayden 12 Jun 25 12:52 
....also remember an old fav of many named Ubedizzy who bit someone's finger off , think it was a stable lad or groom.

Ok Hayden…..that was A Crook the current trainer….

Trained by MW Easterby if memory is correct…

Emma coming up on BBC2 aceform...

Wonder who she will blame this time hibb. ?

Looking like the winner so no tears tonight

what gets right up my nose is this over-celebrating when she beats a nobody aceform...

it's so unbelievably fake imv...

and that childish wave she does...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN1RYACiXNs

She doesn’t like getting flak hibb,her way or no way…..

Wimbledon will be interesting with the BBC raising her up to the clouds….

One competition i do look forward to….

nobody likes getting flak tbh aceform...

i just find it all so fakey...

the contrast between her and someone like Heather Watson is quite startling tbh.

it's as if the tennis doesn't matter...

it's all about her off court stuff...

not keen on that at all tbh.

Agree hibb just get on with the career….

The Diva Has Landed...

i've switched over to the Ukraine game tbh aceform.

Thomas Equinas

Far too big a price this imv

Win & place…

Considering turning the clock back to 2003 (ish)

One a day…..the only way….

one a day the aceform way ?

sport doesn't work like that aceform imv...

you could have nowt for 10 days then 3 on day 11 imv.

I read this on a forum the other day, was that you acey?

It was good fun and the characters were definitely there. Most of the people who were the funniest were the most informed. I remember ppking and janov, who was a tremendous character. He was a 6ft 10in giant with a broad Bristol accent. He was so sarcastic and posted some belters. Then there was a hapless Scottish tipster called Aceform, who was the good guy to ppking's villain. He did a series of tipping challenges, including 'One A Day, The Aceform Way'. I met a lot of them at the races and most were very different to how you imagined them to be and I still see some of them regularly.

There were some great old characters on there and a good few high-profile people. One that stands out was Mike Futter, who owned Monty's Pass and used to post on there. You couldn't read what he was saying and not back Monty's Pass for the National. He was open with everyone that he really fancied the horse. That was a memorable one. It was fun to read ppking, janov and Aceform, who tended to write as he would have spoken. He put up his bets every day and was clearly not the best punter. He was having a good bet one day on a horse over fences and the horse ended up refusing. He half jumped the fence and ended up stuck on top of it. The first post that came up on the original thread where he'd posted the selection was from ppking, saying: 'Your horse appears to be perched on top of a fence, Aceform.' It was merciless. There were plenty of professionals on there too, like Emmet Kennedy, Graham Cunningham, Justin O'Hanlon and Richard Hoiles.

But if you concentrate on the banker and ignore everything else around hibb….

Any game you are playing,horse racing,golf,football,cricket,the list is endless tbh….

You can back lay or place lay….

Yes it was swifty,the hibb has been mentioned a few times as well….

swifty....

if i could turn back the clock to those days i'd do it in a heartbeat...

brilliant times those.

i don't believe in bankers tbh aceform...

to me you either fancy one or you don't...

that's just my view tho...

you do what you want to do.

say tomorrow i fancy Rybakina and Zheng to win...

if it's only 'one a day' i'm only allowing myself to back one of them...

what if the one i back loses and the one i don't back wins ?

Just do the double , that's one bet.

looking at the prices Rybakina's a waste of time backing.

it was just an example swifty...

imv you can't just say 'i'm only backing one horse per day'...

what happens when you fancy two on the day and the one you don't back wins ?

you'll feel a right pudding imv.

Arbitary rules are stupid. If there's 5 on a day or none, your formbook decides. I'd prefer 5, life is short.

agreed.

When opportunities present themselves there shouldn't be any restrictions in my view.

My strategic approach produced 17 opportunities one week , 11 were one one single day , 4 on another day , one on another 2 days so consequently three blank days.

To go against the strategy by restricting to one bet per day would have meant breaking another rule i'd be reluctant to do , if it's not broke don't fix it.


It is what it is , never say never when dealing with random race cards 

Sorry swifty didn't see your post which is more or less ditto   

that's OK, good to hear we all agree.....now let's try and find one at least!

Raducanu favourite to beat Zheng...

2.24 Zheng is too big imv...

£1 back.

£1 hibb….aye..buy you a loaf…

it's all about the juice aceform...

The hibb playing a £1 ….

hard times aceform.

Yarmouth yesterday Quixall, pint of Kronenbourg £7.25 in the restaurant, forgot to look at the beers as none I like. Lunch very good but a shocker by the nanny in the first race. My OH put £25 ew on the second with the table service lady whilst I was down the rails.

Second @ 22/1, lady put £62.50 on the table, I said she must have it wrong but no,paid £2.50 the place, didn't even do the forecast which made it worse.lol

£7.25 sounds ok compared to most….£2.50 the place ffs…
