All 4 days

Good on you snap, at least we have one proper racing man in attendance, not like these clowns who go every third weekend just to use a badge that they have.
Insideinfo and the whatsapp team are staying put this year, (yet again says you), i think they are taking turns in watching a race each out in the jaxx during work.

He also backed a 25/1 and 150/1 winner the other day at the golf ,thing is , if you believe Snappy on that you surely have to believe that he makes a profit on sellers as well.Sure the guys a genius and all on the few quid Joan gives him each week.Poor fella should be locked away somewere for his own protection  . Oh I nearly forget he bets in grands as well ffs...Laugh

I admire the guy wonks, fair play to him i say. Its not everyone that would have the wherewithall to attend the four days at the festival, i certainly wouldnt, and i doubt many on here will be there. Ok Snap can do it because hes a proper pro, but how many are in the same boat?, not too many on here, i bet.

Actually doing 5 days mincer, Stratford on the Monday too!

Have a nice holiday booked for the week after! Will flippin need it says you!
Report tony57 February 23, 2016 1:44 PM GMT
i wouldnt want to do 4 days..2 at most, luckly i,ll be @uttoxeter on the saturday, but the festival takes it out of you.
Report mincer11 February 23, 2016 4:47 PM GMT
Yes Snap, thats a good idea to have a holiday after a stressful week. Thats the difference between Snap and lugs like insideinfo, when Snap is beckoning the poolside waiter for another Pina Colada, inside will be putting on his hi- viz jacket and just about to mount his bike.
Report workrider February 23, 2016 5:14 PM GMT
Mincer are you suggesting Snappy is Good As You ? Pina Colada surely the PINK brigade's drink.
Report mincer11 February 23, 2016 6:39 PM GMT
As good as me?, are you joking  me wonks ?
I couldn't hold the mans coat , nor would I ever claim to. When Snap is sipping champagne in the owners and trainers in 3 weeks time , I will be lucky to be able to crack open a bit of off license action in my sitting room.

Not looking like going myself.

Haven't done the 4 days since the year of the abandoned Wednesday. The Thursday was tough(maybe in racing parlance, I had too hard a race that year!!)

Must get back in the saddle soon, though not sure the body be able for 4 anymore!!

He is only another burstin his bawllocks laughing at him Mincer, and tis an ever growing crowd.
Report mincer11 February 23, 2016 8:44 PM GMT
Well Pa, I don't know what they are laughing at , he's the only one on this forum who will be there for the full duration, and if Rocketfingers happens to be there on Wednesday , then himself and Tony57 could have that fight they were going to have in the car park at Newbury , and maybe Snap would be so kind as to referee it.
Report pa lapsy February 23, 2016 8:48 PM GMT
Didn.t he back the last 6 winners in the golf as well,including Fraser at 3 figures after the event,i'm surprised at you,you ought to be more cynical.
Report mincer11 February 23, 2016 9:06 PM GMT
I don't follow the golf Pa to be honest so I'm not aware of what you are referring to.

Fair enough if you don't follow the golf "Mincer",

Taken from the Northern Trust thread (same the previous few weeks)

Snap 22 feb 10.42,

"Ragin i only had Bubba(25/1) and Marcus Fraser(150/1) in singles only"


Is there any sense or meaning in your opinion of trying to be the " KIm Jong" of the Irish forum Mincer? or why would any adult try to?
Bit sad all in all and that is reason why you just have to laugh your bawllock off, do you see what i mean?
Report TheWasp February 23, 2016 9:27 PM GMT
how come if norn or insideinfo  say they have had big priced winner there isnt a peep out of you but when a professional shrewdy like snap says hes had a nice win you lose the run of yourself?

I might have to find a replacement as referee for the Wednesday mincer.

Hosting a luncheon that day, so will be otherwise engaged.

Haven't been back since 2012 I think, twas the year about 10 races in one day? If ever go back will be Tues/Weds, gold cup day is a bollox.
Report tony57 February 24, 2016 9:03 AM GMT
i take the view that 2 days is enough, friday is too packed, so its tue weds or thurs, but also some may have taken in stratford ..or like me will be @uttoxeter on the saturday,we must also remember the financial side of this, 2days at the festival then uttoxeter is a fair wack, then im @bangor a week later plus haydock a few days after that,  if you have a bad few days lets be honest it hurts in the pocket, with aintree and punch on the horizen.

1st time traveller.. Heading over for the Tues & Wed.. What do you guys usally do regards sterling? books, betting on course etc
Report wildmanfromborneo February 26, 2016 1:28 AM GMT
You will need the sterling anyway,the rate is favourable at the moment.

British bookies take Euro but they sometimes engage in a bit of gouging better to bet in sterling.
Report tony57 February 26, 2016 8:50 AM GMT
100% right wildman, unless its a bookie you know and deal with regular, if im in ireland i only bet in euro, ive seen bookies make £500 a day @the festival just taking 1-2euro of each bet ..when its busy your not looking or paying attention are you?be on the ball lads..

Goreski, there will be lots of Irish bookies there betting in euros. Mulvannys O'Hare Finnigan etc.So no worries on that score.
