Wow guys what can I say, a full turnout without any need of enticements financial or otherwise
Nice to see so many of you willing to blow the dust off those form books yet again
Although I can sense that the dust/fog is now getting ever deeper/thicker
Maybe guessing the encouraging enthusiasm shown is because we have nothing to prove,
been there done that, cant take that away – its Just a bit of Fun for us from hereon in
Simply pick one trier a week Win or E.W & post on Undecideds Team Tipster selection Topic and on here would help
please but dont forget cut off is 3pm Saturday, New weeks start ..... first race Sundays

Just to keep you on your toes and give us an extra incentive we have a new member Foxy
We cant guarantee you winners Foxy but can supply team spirit respect and support always available in abundance So lets just have another go against the regular daily gurus with all their up-to-date expertise We can certainly have a bit of Fun along the highway from Chelts via Aintree to Ascot ..... Enjoy the journey I am sure our temporary side-lined box walker Dessie will be popping in with a few words of encouragement from time to time |

I’m Smiling Stewpot ….been busy lately trying to complete my Bucket List of visiting every racecourse in the country…48 behind me ( Including shutdown Towcester ) 12 to go ….
Had a good weekend last week at Hereford and Chepstow… Hope everyone is ok Shanelee, Salmon , Reged and the rest of my enemies… I’ve topped some money in my betfair account as not used it for a while so should be in touch a lot more than recent years ….. |

Quite a bucket list for starters, was meeting me anywhere on that list, if it was please dont tell me how far down it was I am sure once they saw your name on the Team-sheet they went out to ensure a full Team on theirs  Nice to see you back in the swing, are you still supporting the footy Hilly I am sure that wasnt the problem, after talking to a couple of them yesterday morning, it sounded as though they did a significant update (or 2) earlier this week then realised an old problem fix had not been included, so they then had to do a further update yesterday lunchtime I had tried 4 different browsers with & without blockers, on four different devices, emptying cookies & caches I agree blockers etc can stop or prevent it performing as expected What is really annoying about the hiccup is they dont announce they are doing any software upgrades (that I am aware of  )They dont set up a specific status on its success or otherwise They dont set up a new email contact route in to quickly identify any issues Mushroom Information Consultancy maintain the software (taking the MIC) But they do have chatty friendly keyboard staff  |

Sorry Ud but I was totally unaware of any historic poaching, I can easily but it down to my current memory lapses
I have to keep last seasons topic live just to remember last seasons Team never mind other Teams I just got word from Ireland that JP McMan's R&R farm was also treating more than horses, people making week end therapy visits with a special carrot juice on their menu Special benefits of beta-carotene greatly helps identify light from dark, & now wood from trees Explains why jimnast excels at the evening meetings of Dundalk & Wolverhampton  |

Lucky 15 for tonight taking a chance with a couple of inexperienced jockeys
600 dancing tango 630 turf range 800 jered maddox (around 8 with chances so taking the safe option) 830 Havana notion Wouldn’t be at all confident of any of these but an enjoyable night in store |
|
By:
Intended to add regarding inexperienced jockeys I thought shanghai dragon at 16/1 would out run his price in the impossible 800 race
|

By:

Petemac

Paddy And Mick At The Cheltenham Festival It’s like Christmas and your birthday All rolled into one The atmosphere at Prestbury Park Is second to none Heading for the terminal For the ferries and the flights Will the last man leaving Ireland Please turn out the lights Mick Moloney and Paddy Murphy At their usual B & B They’ve never missed a Gold Cup Since Bregawn in Eighty Three Mick spills a yarn ‘bout his youthful sins All his Colleens in Killarney He was Jack the lad way back then Before he married Fanny Carney They’re staying at O’Flanagan’s Where the brekky is a good ‘un Sausage, bacon, egg and beans Mushrooms and black pudding The festival gets underway The excitement’s at high pitch Sixty thousand hopeful punters Dreaming of getting rich Paddy pulls out a monkey ‘On the nose’ at three to one Come on my son, come on, come on! ****! there it was....all gone It couldn’t have been much closer Just beaten by a nose Ah, what the feck! Paddy cursed That’s just the way it goes The Racing Post in one hand A pint of black stuff in the other With just one winner at short odds They’re desperate for another Day two, four losers on the belt Mick was two grand down already “**** or bust in the next” he said I’ve got a tip off me Uncle Freddie It turned into the Irish banker It won by 15 lengths or more Backed by every man and his dog Judged by the Cheltenham roar Thursday was St Patrick’s day Sausages sizzling on the griddle Those Irish eyes are smiling The girls playing on their fiddles A stag party from County Mayo Singing foul mouthed Irish ditties Dressed up as tarts in fancy dress Tights, blonde wigs and fake titties In the Guinness grandstand The Band is playing “Whiskey in the jar” Mick’s flat out on his arse again Paddy’s queuing at the bar They drew a blank on Paddy’s day But were too drunk to feel the pain To Van the man’s “I’ll Tell Me Ma” They were Irish dancing in the rain A spicy hot Jalapeños Burger Had poor Mick rushing to the traps It cut through him like a dose of salts He almost filled his cacks Trying to take a midnight shower He fell through the shower curtain Squirming on the bathroom floor His drinking arm was hurting Paddy never heard a thing Himself in a Guinness coma Snoring and a-farting The drunken man’s aroma Friday was the Gold Cup Paddy had winners all the way He even cracked the place-pot For a lucrative final day Mick’s bad luck continued He’d lost all his overdraft He subbed Paddy for his ferry fare Said“ hey mate we’ve had a laugh” He texted Fanny from the ferry Said “he had bad news to bring” I’ll be taking time off work next week As my right arm is in a sling The stag do was still going strong Singing “The Fields Of Athenry “ For sure, for sure they’ll return next year To drink the pubs of Cheltenham dry As the ferry pulled into Dublin Again Mick’s guts were feeling iffy If the missus sees his bank statement He’s gonna end up in the Liffey Big Fanny with her muscles clenched A rolling pin held in her hand “Let’s not fall out over a few bob” he said She replied “ it’s eleven feckin grand” Michael.... you Feckless Eejit ! We have the bailiff on our trail Pray to God I’m gonna kill ya I’ll be much better off in jail |

A great piece of work Pete, I think I recognise those two guys
|
|
By:
Any of you guys already sorted out your bankers for Chelts
It will just give me a list of races I needent bother looking at yes Im getting lazy |
|
By:
Petemac go prepared to Uttoxeter, it was very cold for my "trip" there and it became very wet too, with no winners to warm me up. Most memorable thing for me was 14 of us doing the Haka on the station platform with some bemused onlookers
 Stewpot I have two big outsiders in mind for Chelters but I don't do bankers lol. I'm looking further ahead to the start of flat in Ireland....... |
|
By:
thanks for the advice Dessie
I think I have Uttoxeter & Worcester pencilled in for Early May so hopefully I'll be able to wear my shorts and vest by then  |
|
By:
I went to Worcester once to watch Morley Street's chase debut, enjoyable visit from what I remember, thou it was over 20 years ago!!!!
|
|
By:
I can remember Uttoxeter visit too, in the good old days Chelts was three days, & if my memory serves me well Uttoxeter was a two day meeting on the Fri/Sat
we called in on the way back up north, Dickinson got us a winner I think Michael rode it, Des O'Connor was there & had a runner /winner? in the days he fancied having amateur rides Thats if my memory serves me well 1970 I would guess? |
|
By:
Well done with your winner and 2nd tother day stewpot. Third one hcap mark going back down slowly and another win at Chelmsford might not be far away.How are you liking your new manager then
|
|
By:
Dessie you know I don't like being critical M people with talents I don't possess
It looked like the ride of a 10 lb claimer given he knew the horse one bows to better judgement |
|
By:
I think the manager is doing great considering the talent he had to work with
Anybody who changes players position's benches others and promotes youth, then earns a big respect tick from me Will go a lot higher Tbh we really don't want promotion this season imho squad far too thin  |
|
By:
Talking of respect of old very talented folk
I went to Askham Bryan point to point the other week A great sight to see the Easterby dynasty in attendance Both Peter (93) & Mick (91) and then right down to the youngsters who trained & rode 3 winners between them |
|
By:
Some interesting options today, market a bit tight and moving so may hang fire
 fingers crossed day |
