Dan, ain't got a patch on our Derby. Final night is a good piss up however

Queens Park Rangers miraculously avoiding relegation for the 2nd successive year?, ok its not actually an occasion but a dream.

Cheltenham Festival, ok the festival has become somewhat diluted with the introduction of the extra day, the Queen Mother might turn into a walkover yet?, but it'll still have its fair share of excitement.

Royal Ascot, can't stand the pomp and ceremony but is there a better meeting in the world for flat aficionados like me?.

The Hurling Championship,(take the 8/1 Clare for Munster)

The Football Championship

that confused smiley was supposed to be

Gold Cup, Easter Cup, Betfair 600, Larry Dunne 525, Oaks, Champion Stakes, Irish Derby, National Puppy Stake, Christmas Oaks - All Shelbourne Park. Laurels Curraheen Park

English Greyhound Derby (final night especially)

Leopardstown Hennessy Day

Cheltenham Festival

NFL Playoffs + Superbowl

US Masters, US Open and The Open

Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open

Should have added in the Irish Derby obviously.

For whatever reason the English version seems to be better on my pocket, haven't back an Irish Derby winner since He Said So.
