oh why diden't i back that

Discipline isn't about deciding not to back one day and backing the next - it's about picking and choosing your bets carefully.

Though I'm fairly sure you already know this.

PS - thinly veiled "I once backed a 100/1 winner" thread ;)

WAS AT WORK GOT 5 TIPS ALL BEAT BUT ILL MAIL U IN10 MINS WITH A CERT FOR LATER !

Workrider, I backed her that day too. Bet it was in Listowel. I backed it on the nanny. Only got 50/1 or thereabouts that day :(

yeah its was soapp, had about £i,ooo in the account that day ,come the race had £7 left , so you could say it got me out of trouble :) it was a very long f/furlong .

hard luck norn , bad day all round for you :( i just might not have a bet till sat .keep the chin up mate .

Youre right Workrider.

I just remember leaving Listowel very happy. No one could work out the logic why I could have backed it.

In those days I would often go down to the paddock esp for a bumper and look for a great walker. That would mean they are fit and ready. I remember seeing this one stride out well that day. So I said despite not being out for some time he must be fit. I knew the distance was not a problem so bingo! :)

Stone and a half higher over jumps, goes on the ground, c&d winner and ftb!
The obvious answer to the hcp...
