Huddersfield

Crawley

Rangers

Falkirk

Alloa

Had 20 quid on Crown Prosecutor, lost 6 on Easy Ticket, lost 3 on the one at Listowel, football coupon looks to be right down the toilet,



but Frankie comes up with Redford at 16/1

, had that E/W and also the 2nd placed horse E/W so only a tenner down which I'm rather pleased with considering how things started.

I stuck with it again. Holding up made all the difference, very classy effort, especially with the right man back on top again.



Ajaan hammered once more, 10's into 5's.

Never at the races.

It'll probably win one but I've had enough of it.

Wonder how many acca's are down the pan thanks to the Toffees?

Aye, won every time apart from with Jimmy Mis-Fortune in the saddle.

Last night's Wigan winnings played up on Warrington -10pts.

... looks like the bookies are getting it back tonight!

Well dont to those who had Redford...good call!



Absolutely pig sick about Temple Meads today...a horse I've kept a real close eye on this season and backed it big the last two times...Although questioning Fortune last time I had accepted that I thought it blatantly didn't stay the 6f and thought it would just turn out to be a top class 5f specialist.



Just goes to show we were right on here last time to criticise Fortune because he failed to settle the horse and got it to the front very early and it badly ran out of steam having looked all over the winner. I haven't seen the race today but by all accounts it was pulling a bit hard again early on but Richie Mullen has managed to settle it in behind and according to the race report come through making 'smooth headway' and ran on strongly to win well.



Why can a jockey with the experience of Fortune fail to be able to settle a horse and end up riding a hold up horse from the front? It beggars belief and I will never, ever back one of his mounts again... Richie Mullen on the other hand I think is a bit under-estimated and have no problems backing him....



Rant over!

I'm keeping an eye on Curely's Elusive Hawk. Short priced this morning to 2nd last in the race. Must have given the jockey a nod to pull it.

Managed to get out of jail by doing Over 43.5 pts (5/6) with Stan James at HT.

That was a good old plot by Dandy on Redford today.



Saved my day.



Wouldn't of backed it but someone told me to watch Frankies last ride on it and see what he did when Redford hit the front...naff all
