Nicely done, knew I read that somebody had backed it when it went over the line! Did you have much on?

Nope, just a small stake, unfortunately!

Right, now on it each way. PP refunding your losing stake if it comes second by the way.

Considering that too but Rock and Roll Kid in the same race looks quite strong.

Won a good bit on a good bit on No one tells me but ended up down a wee bit down at the end of the day. Started betting big (for my standards) at the wrong time. Art Broker was absolutely muck! I was looking at the wrong horse (the one that came second) so kinda got a run for my money, I blame the bad view I had!

Yeah twas ok. Personally, give me the sligo races any day of the week (it's easier to win money!). Tenner in, which wasn't too bad imo.

It wasn't that packed but on the bigger days (wednesday and thursday) apparently it's hard to even get a bet in. That wouldn't appeal to me...

I didn't really go up with a group, I'd say it would be better craic that way, out on the lash after the races and then stay in some crappy hostel! I'll probably do that next year.

The quality of the racing isn't anywhere near as good as, say, the Leopardstown Christmas festival but there is a good buzz about the place.

I couldn't find feckin chipper in the place though:mad:

Good Call!!

I did a lucky 15 of Weld horses and Ghimaar was the only bloody winner!!! at least he was decent odds but had Art Broker at 9/4 and New Rules at 5/2 so thought I was going to geta nice treble up....

Well at least the horse with the biggest odds was your only winner, there's always a positive! ;)

How are ye guys getting on? Updates please?

I havent done any betting, just back from holidays and too knackered to read from etc

(by the way the Czechs had their own version of horse racing on TV - with 30,000 prize money for each race - but looked rubbish - i was so disappointed i didn't get to back on it)

Profit for the day once again. :-)

Deutschland in the Galway Hurdle tomorrow. 5.6 on the machine at the moment. Ground will suit. Mullins is on good form so far this week and should continue to do so.

I've had a decent bet on him myself - he's a hot favourite. prob will start at about 3/1 or maybe less.
Mr A
30/07/2009, 9:52 AM
Usually stay away from the horsies (Dman's tips excepted:) )

But went for:

Corrick Bridge in 2.00
Dual Gales in 4.20
Deutschland in 5.00 (already less than 3-1 by the way on PP)

All Ruby Walsh. Also chanced a small treble.
Longfordian
30/07/2009, 11:04 AM
On Corrick Bridge in the 2.00 and may stick a free matched bet on Maucaillou as well. On Separate Ways in the 2.35 and Deutschland in the 5.00. May stick a couple more on depending on how the early ones go!.

Ruby left it way too late on Corrick Bridge,he only started to ride after the last.
Longfordian
30/07/2009, 2:56 PM
Yeah he didn't do himself any favours there alright, if it had gone on for another 50 yards he'd have won it. On Glenstal Abbey in the 4.20.
DmanDmythDledge
30/07/2009, 3:26 PM
I'm getting all the 2nd places today.:(

The last race makes me really confident though that Deutschland will get the job done as Mullins is in great form this week and didn't actually fancy Dual Gales to win.
Longfordian
30/07/2009, 3:31 PM
Was toying with backing Dual Gales but all the money seemed to be going on Glenstal Abbey, wasn't even going to back that race initially. Oh well at least I had only a small amount on so I got my money back. Deutschland is where my hopes are now too.
DmanDmythDledge
30/07/2009, 3:32 PM
Mullins is very confident.

I've doubled my stake to try and claw back some of my losses so far today.
Mr A
30/07/2009, 3:44 PM
Looks like we're all waiting for Deutschland! Dual Gales came in for me, will have had a good day if Mr Walsh delivers in the 5.00.

2nd - never really got into it tho. Got me money back at least.

I think that's 4 seconds I've had today. Could be worse I suppose. Slightly down overall though.

Sorry for the aftertiming but.....

My friend got a tip of his dad earlier in the week. He couldn't remember the name but he thought it started with "Bal" so I presumed it was ballyholland in the galway plate and stuck €5ew on him. Turned out it wasn't that horse but Bahrain Storm, so I put €5ew on him too.
