Firstly I’d like to thank you all for returning to my humble blog over and over and helping me hit the 40k mark overnight. You must be a glutton for punishment is all I can say! [:laugh:]
The later 39,000 + hits yesterday would have sadly been greeted with a poor set of Exeter tips were I only managed to muster a few placed horses. So let’s celebrate 40k in style with some tips at Southwell. Remember these are just for fun as I do not confess to being any kind of specialist on the All Weather racing.

12.50 South- Castle Myth (e/w).
1.20 South- Tislaam (e/w).
1.50 South- Ella Grace & Royal Holiday (e/w).
2.20 South- Sammy G & Malibu Sun (e/w).
2.50 South- Primadora (e/w).
3.20 South- Diocles (e/w)[/b].
And no blog post of mine would be complete with a sexy ...
Well the voyage into to the All Weather unknown yesterday wasn’t too bad as I managed two winners and a couple of places. Today there is only one meeting so we’ll see how that goes.
For those of you interested in how I finished up in the Racecaller.com November league, I ended up 8th out of 770 monthly players and won a spot of cash. I could have been crafty and copied the chap who was just behind me at the start of the day. However, I played it fair and dropped down a spot in the table as he passed me by 3pts. That cost me a few quid but it’s not the way I play.
It’s good to see Rob The Builder blogging again (link on the right on mull it over online). He sounded a little bit despondent about his content so I offered him the following words of advice for possible content…...
After being given the initial go ahead Folkestone was abandoned at the very last minute yesterday. Probably a wise choice on health and safety grounds but a real bummer for the jocks and stables as it’s not the most accessible of places to get to in a hurry.
Today I’m going to have a bash at the All Weather card at Lingfield. My interest there today is two-fold as I currently stand in 7th place in the Racecaller Monthly naps league for November with prizes from 1-10. So today I’m trying to preserve a top ten slot for a payout [:silly:]
[b]12.45 Ling- Olivino & Zed Candy (e/w).
1.15 Ling- Matsunosuke (win).
1.45 Ling- Tullius (win).

3.40 Ling- Pragmatist...
From time to time I’m asked about profit and loss figures on this blog. As I’ve explained in the past it’s not really the intent or the purpose of my blog as it’s only a bit of fun and not a commercial concern. It makes me chuckle though as on the majority of days I outdo subscription sites and they take the huff saying it’s just a list of guesses I post up. Admittedly there is no extensive write up behind the selections, but for those of you who know me the research and study has already been done. You don’t see Templegate giving explanations do you? [:silly:]Plus, I’m hardly going to do major writes up each day when it’s just a hobby and I don’t get paid (sadly).
There is an underlying staking plan though on the fancies I post. A win selection = 2pts and an eachway...
Blimey! Who decided to start Newbury at 11.55 a.m? It’s causing me a right scramble this morning trying to get all my writes ups and competitions entered before noon [:laugh:]
What a great day of tips yesterday at Newbury, kicking off with a 7/1 & 8/1 double header. I was however slightly disappointed at the hit count though-I guess people were stuck in the snow or were at the German markets? [:silly:]
Today’s splendid tips from the Hennessy meeting are:
[b]11.55 Newb- Teshali & Act Of Kalanisi (e/w).
12.25 Newb- Peddlars Cross (win).
12.55 Newb- Noun De La Thinte & Pheidias (e/w).
1.30 Newb- Regal Approach & Alderley Rover (e/w).
2.00 Newb- The Betchworth Kid (e/w).
2.30 Newb- Big Bucks (win).
3.05 Newb- Burton Point & Madison Du Berlais (e/w).
3.40 Newb-...
It’s love town time at Newbury today as most of the country struggles to fend off the cold snap. Fortunately the “Fighting Fifth Hurdle” has been diverted to Newbury as Newcastle fell foul of the weather yesterday. A favourite race of mine since Floyd won it I’m glad it’s still going ahead.
Here are today’s selections from Newbury:
[b]12.30 Newb- Smad Place (e/w).
1.00 Newb- Little George & Llama Farmer (e/w).
1.35 Newb- Quickbeam & Oscar Park (e/w).
2.10 Newb- Spirit River (win).
2.45 Newb- Suntini & First Point (e/w).
3.15 Newb- Tornado Bob (e/w).[/b]

” In the bleak midwinter doo de doo de doo“. It’s certainly not so warm outside in the UK today but it’s red hot down under as our cocky England cricketers (what the frick was that stupid dance all about?) seem to have antagonised the Australians and spurred them into a fantastic start. I could see that scenario coming a mile off. Over confidence and complacency often results in an embarrassing spanking from my experience! No, not that kind of spanking. I don’t know what clubs you go to in your spare time? [:silly:]
Today’s fancies are from Taunton:
[b]12.40 Taunt- Cortinas (e/w).
1.10 Taunt- Nosecond Chance & Yukon Quest (e/w).
1.45 Taunt- Artic Ben (win).
2.20 Taunt- Cantabilly & Puerto Azul (e/w).
2.55 Taunt- Sawpit Solitaire & The Hudnalls (e/w).
3.30...
Brrrrrr!!!, It’s a chilly day today and I’m sure some snow will be following this cold snap in next week you can tell ‘em [:shocked:]
Not a lot on offer today in terms of racing but the Wetherby card isn’t too bad so the fancies come from there:
[b]12.20 Weth- National Trust (win).
12.50 Weth- Nulato (e/w).
1.20 Weth- Bold Sir Brian & Rupert Lamb (e/w).
1.50 Weth- Elite Land (e/w).
2.25 Weth- Local Hero (win).
3.00 Weth- Aberdale (win).
3.35 Weth- Lua De Itapoan & Silvers Spirit (e/w).[/b]
A very hit and miss day at Ffos Las yesterday with lots of seconditus on the agenda. I know how Forpadytheplasterer feels now [:laugh:]
With a cold snap on the way this week I’m hoping we don’t see too many cancelled fixtures. Last winter was terribly decimated and we can do without a repeat of that.
Today’s fancies are from Lingfield:
[b]12.50 Ling- Maximix (e/w).
1.20 Ling- Laccordioniste (win) & Setters Princess (small e/w).
1.50 Ling- Pascha Bere (win).

3.20 Ling- Sebastiano & Don’t Panic (e/w).
3.50 Ling- Teutonic Knight & Rebel Flag (e/w).[/b]
I’m not going to blow my own trumpet but that was a pretty nice set of Northwest Masters tips which yielded a splendid return on the weekend. I even got lucky yesterday when I got home late and tipped Max Laurie in the last race bumper at Towcester in a monthly naps competition I play in:
21/11/2010 15:50, Towcester, Max Laurie – 396 pts (1st of 13 at 33/1).
I believe I shot up from about 68th place to 9th in the table :D
Today’s Welsh wizardry comes from Ffos Llas:
12.50 Ffos- First Fandango (win).
1.20 Ffos- Alpine Breeze (win).
1.55 Ffos- Kack Handed (win).
2.25 Ffos- Topless (win).
