I may have a go on "Simon" and "Longshanks" Longshanks cos I like the name!! Simon because, his owner "Mercy Rimell" bought a Dobermann from my friend, he died a few months ago and she phoned her again and asked if she had any puppies as he was the best dog she had ever had, I thought that was nice. She also trained the 1973 and 1975champion hurdle winner "Comedy of Errors" who lived out his life with her and was around 30yrs old when he died.

Just a quick question to see if anyone knows any online bookies offering "free" bets as they normally do this time of year.

Heard a good tip this morning. Can't remember the exact odds but 25 out of about 30 of the last National winners were carrying less than 11 stone and were 9 year olds.
So, I've gone for Kelami at 33-1 and Point Barrow at 10-1.
Here's hoping.

a question ??

if you place a bet on a horse like we did at work and it was 66-1 ...............its now 18-1

so is the bet set at the odds when you place it or when the race in run ?

I think its when you placed the bet unless the bookies stated.

i used to work in a bookies

Inca you have to ask for the price and then it is put on your ticket
otherwise you get the price it ends up at

drat i can't see it ..............

we didn't put it on a customer went and did it for us

First time in 8 years I have not won a penny ahhh well, always next year.

Nah me neither, Point Barrow went down at the first. Kelami stayed the course though, just ran out of steam.
