Title: Newborns and Newform
Post by: action man on August 20, 2017, 08:20:50 AM
Thought, since I'm off the online poker grind for a little while I'd chronicle
The next few months as I attempt to bring up a newborn and keep two step kids at bay
During the last few weeks of the summer holiday while also trying to make the next few months
Wages solely on horses and the occasional greyhound and some theory of how it works.
Hopefully it might be a help to up and coming dads or people looking to make some money
Punting.

Will do a post on the last few days later when mum and baby
Are napping.

So Percy Jacob Trigg was born on Thursday morning weighing in at 7lb 13.
Via C-section. This is not something that me of his mum vick wanted however he
Was in breach (not head down) a few weeks before the due date so we were told
We were booked in for a planned section. On the day of the section however another scan
Told us he was in the normal position and would we like to revert back to a natural pregnancy.

We were both a little upset at the idea of going back home and playing the waiting game
Knowing that he could move back to breach position any time. Also we had arranged childcare for
The next 4 days and nights which wasn't easy so we decided to go ahead with the section.

The screen was up so The first thing I heard was the doctors saying hello and then as soon as he cried
We were both gushing with tears. One of the doctors was named mrs Panicka which set the tone for our
First few nights with little Percy. C-section baby's tend to have a lot of mucus as it doesn't get squeezed out as it would
During a vaginal birth. Percy had a lot and we were both very worried about him choking if we drifted off
Which lead us both to be quite sleep deprived and very grumpy with each other (I've been on a pull out bed and not been home et either)

It took one straight talking midwife to tell us that he would just get rid of the mucus on his own accord for us to get a wink of sleep.

It's an amazing feeling holding your son/daughter and knowing that you're their everything and view versa.

I have two step kids that I've taken care of for over 2 years now and I have a great bond with them. However I've no experience with
Newborns so I'm still learning as I go. This morning though I've bottle fed, changed a nappy and burped him all in one sitting so im getting there.

We decided on the name Percy after the horse presenting Percy won at the festival this year. We'd been through a lot of names before hand
And this was the first one we both really liked.

A good few years back I started doing my own horse ratings and did pretty well. I had no discipline back then
And it was a long process of going through the form and I was making much more from poker so kinda gave it up.
Been doing a lot of ratings and form work the past month or so now and got a nice catalogue of horses
That I think are coming to the boil or based on form/run of the race etc that I've placed on a tracker so I'll be betting these
In the next few weeks. Just one today 2.15 pontefract ginbar 15/8. I think the last run finishing a length and a bit behind may remain
Was a good run. May remain by mayson would have loved the softer ground and went on to be 5/10 in a group 3 next time (also on soft)
With the 3rd at Nottingham winning next time out I think we've very strong claims in this race getting 6lbs off the Johnston horse.

A lovely surprise to wake up to this, thanks Rick.

So strange to see you go all soft & soppy, but it's just great.

Vick is your partner, Percy is the NKOTB, what are the names & ages of the other 2 kids?

Trigg was always a bit left-field with his apparel, & this was my all-time favourite Trigg get-up. Paul Parker would call this coat crucial.

Good luck with Percy.

Month 1 is going to be pretty dreadful.  After the first 3 it is going to get better.  Try and go really easy on the poker.  MTTs are hard to play with a kid bawling and tired mums aren't very forgiving.  Give her loads of support.  Just say yes to any help offered.  Breaks are like golddust right now. 

Young kids are great regardless of all the above.

Before I met vick I couldn't imagine 'taking on' (don't like this term) 2 kids as I was still a kid myself. But she was the
Only girl I've ever met that I wanted to spend a lot of time with. We started dating in April 2015 and I met her kids about 3 months later
And instantly fell in love with them. Freddie is 5 (6 in September) and I got on right away and are the best friends. He's got mild autism and
He's got certain character traits that take a lot of TLC, he's also a huge blade as all Vicks family are but I'll let that slide. Evie is 4 (5 in October)
And I've certainly had to work for her affection but I've got it now and she's a joy to be around.

I'm still playing a lot of poker (as of last week) solely online. There's no way on earth I'd be travelling about
Away for days while vick is pregnant and having to do the school runs on her own etc. I'm happy to just play online.
Online started off badly this year although I believe it was the strongest I'd ever played and from April-last week the results
Have arrived. During this time off I'll be doing some strong poker study on pio. I'm not planning to play a poker session at all for at least
A month although I'll know when the time is right. The current time is the time I appreciate the flexibility poker gives you the most as I'll see loads
More of F E and P than I would doing a 9-5.

I've had some fashion disasters in my time. Even at school I thought it would be cool to shave one sideburn and leave the other

It must be a Sheffield thing as I recall Fraser having a coat similar to that in black.

Won't be giving up on that horse yet, hated the course couldn't get the lead and the they went
Off too quickly to my naked eye, maybe wants a little more cut. Be interesting to see its handicap mark
Anything between 75-80 would be a nice mark imo

Arrived back home about 4.30pm, vick let me have the first sleep so I had 4.45 till 8pm which was a lovely nap
Up now and we've switched. She's in bed Percy is in a little basket in front of me on the settee with last nights MOTD on
We're planning on getting a takeaway later if she wakes up before midnight.

One small bet I've had for tomorow 5.45 thirsk whipphound ew 14/1

Post by: action man on August 20, 2017, 09:46:03 PM
Just given him my first unattended nappy change/burp/feed. Quite nerve wracking but I coped well.
Easiest way of changing his nappy is on a mat on the floor I've found. Stops panicking about him falling off etc.
It's quite hard to gauge, burping him, when he's passed enough wind. If he needs burping a bit more once you
Lay him back in the basket he will wriggle about a kick his legs and arms I've found.

Just had to stop the post now to give him a burping which has settled him down no end. the key is getting his back straight
So he's not too slumped and then holding his jaw line and tilting his head forward slightly. His mum is much better at burping/winding
Than I.

I really want her to sleep as she's not had much sleep at all in the past few nights and we've both been really snappy ( I've slept in the same hospital room As her and Percy for the last 4 nights, maybe a bit of cabin fever kicked in.

If she wakes up before midnight though we're gonna get a huge takeaway 😂

Trigg my old pal, you always had that one thing you need to make it in gambling and that's the survivors instinct, defo been a fair few ropey times but you always manage to get the job done :)

Very happy with how it's all worked out for you mate, you deserve it, for sheer bloody persistence and heart if nothing else!

Ha I've gotta be careful
Here as sir Percy has a lot of horses. I can't tell him in
A few years that he can't have Nike because the sire
Sir Percy had a bad year. Tell you what I'll do
If someone can make a spreadsheet I'll have a tenner win
On all 'Percy' names and any profit come the end of the season
I'll donate to jessops hospital in Sheffield as they were truly wonderful
With us.

More importantly though is the update from last night. Did she happen to "wake" at 11.58pm just in time for the huge takeaway? What did you order if so?

I like Rose Eclair in that 5.45 race.


Title: Re: Newborns and Newform
Post by: action man on August 21, 2017, 09:12:30 AM
She woke about 11.45 we couldn't get anywhere that would deliver so in hero fashion
I got a taxi and got a couple of pepperonis and chips!

Post by: action man on August 21, 2017, 09:25:52 AM
The problem with my study at the moment due to lack of time is that
I don't get to study the horses opponents much, I basically mark a horse up and down
And bet it or against it the next time. Usually I'd look closely at the field but I've no time
This week so stakes are small. I do think whipphound will be winning soon off the mark


Title: Re: Newborns and Newform

Trigg Uploaded these to his Twitter feed yesterday, so presumably he won't object if I post it here. (Rick - If you don't want it on blonde, let me know & I'll remove).

Keet was not what I'd expected at all. Working out the approx combined odds of Ipswich winning their first five that quickly. Almost seemed shrewd.

I think it is a great idea to just study poker for the first month or so.  Wish I'd had that thought.  Nappy factor, my arse.

Good idea to change him on the floor too.  They will move when you least expect them.  My eldest took an age to crawl and walk, but she still managed to move when you weren't looking.  She sat perfectly still whilst you were watching, leave the room and it must have been like "Toy Story".  

That, and my niece broke her arm falling off a changing mat.

As I said I've not had a chance to go through the form I'm just betting my notepad
Horses for the next week or so until I've got a chance to go through all the race videos I've not studied
Recently. That having said I'll be backing one on my best judge/info mans say so some point this week
And it will be a big one.

Congratulation Trigg!

Lack of sleep is the worst bit but you soon get used to it.
Best advice would be to just go with the flow as much as possible and don't stress too much when things don't go to plan.
However much people tell you a routine is important don't let it rule your life!

Hope you share your big one later in the week  ;)

Everything crossed I'm waiting on Costa for a few bob myself.   

I was against Melba having backed it last 4 times.  Even in winning last couple it seems somewhat ungenuine to me today was her best performance of the lot.

It's straight into 2/1 so I've had much smaller bet and will go in again if drifts in the morning

Just been told Anna Medici  was lame this morning so might have run like god not getting the 11/4

Freddie and Evie came back at 3pm and have been brilliant with Percy

Congrats on the new addition to the family! Am enjoying reading so far. I have a bunch of questions but an easy one first.

What is your favourite track to go and watch racing at and/or your favourite experience you have had at the horses?


Title: Re: Newborns and Newform
Post by: action man on August 21, 2017, 07:58:34 PM
Favourite track is either pontefract or ripon both lovely little tracks
I much prefer going a quiet midweek than a busy Saturday.

Favourite experience at the races was my 30th bday at a Chester matinee
Meeting the day of the England 1-2 Italy game in the world cup, can't remember much of
The match

Had a speculative bullseye ew Chief Justice for the accomb on Wednesday
25/1 nrnb very tough ask but looked a cracking prospect on debut only getting the hang
Of things very late and will come on bundles but by George will need to, 25/1 though don't have
To be right often

Kinda like Rianna star tomorrow seeing as it ran a good race to be
2nd to wolfcatcherjack (who I know was very well in) last time however
Would like to see some money first otherwise wily Gary Moore might give it a run
Around a get it dropped a few pounds for another tilt at kempton

About to get a couple hours in bed then swap round  and do the early morning shift.
Freddie was a bit hyped up tonight when he came home and was a bit too eager to get involved
With feeding and nappy changing Percy which wasn't his fault he's so caring but we had to lay the law
Down a little bit. Evie was a saint and toned it down a lot tonight. Guessing they will be up and about demanding
Juice, breakfast and first dibs on the iPad around 7am so gonna snore my head off now

Post by: action man on August 22, 2017, 06:53:10 AM
Wow vick let me have 6 and a half hours kip (more than I usually get) but I dunno if she was being
A bit shrewd as now the kids are up so im looking after all 3 but Percy is fast on now.

Fred still has his dummy. It's like his sheepskin noseband it just settles him as he's prone to
Some almighty meltdowns. It's just his little bit of comfort. I know he's too old for it now and me and his mum
Been very soft on it but it calms him instantly during a meltdown so we've let him have it
During the night or during a meltdown. Anyhow he's just come down with it in his hand saying he doesn't want it anymore and handed it to me
Saying Percy can have it. Kids can drive you mad one minute and melt your heart the next.


Horsey stuff--  women's apprentice races are very much en vogue and they don't work like they used to.
You used to have to watch a race of this kind looking for the non trier before the job jockey got on next time.
Thesedays you have to watch the stable jockey giving it an easy time so it's lined up for a woman claiming 7 the next time.
Trainers are very supportive of women apprentices so I'll be on the lookout in the near future.

Fred still has his dummy. It's like his sheepskin noseband it just settles him as he's prone to
Some almighty meltdowns. It's just his little bit of comfort. I know he's too old for it now and me and his mum
Been very soft on it but it calms him instantly during a meltdown so we've let him have it
During the night or during a meltdown. Anyhow he's just come down with it in his hand saying he doesn't want it anymore and handed it to me
Saying Percy can have it.
Kids can drive you mad one minute and melt your heart the next.


Horsey stuff--  women's apprentice races are very much en vogue and they don't work like they used to.
You used to have to watch a race of this kind looking for the non trier before the job jockey got on next time.
Thesedays you have to watch the stable jockey giving it an easy time so it's lined up for a woman claiming 7 the next time.
Trainers are very supportive of women apprentices so I'll be on the lookout in the near future.



Brilliant.

How did you first ' discover ' on line poker ?
Where did you first play live / online site ?
Great tip yesterday thanks

Seeing my daughter born has always been the best night of my life
at 41 I had been a step dad twice which was good ,Steven n Robert were 5-7 when I met their mum ,they are in their 40s now ,I still have contact with one of them but they live in Worthing on the south coast so I don't see them much
It was the making of me tho ,it made me grow up ,we had some great times
my advice is to treat them all the same which I'm sure u will

I first discovered online poker by reading the poker europa magazine in napoloeans Sheffield where I first played live
I wanna say about 2001/2. £10 rebuys and £20rbs that magazine was everything to me, I'd read if from cover to cover
And idolise the Hendon mob, camel, Garry bush, Ali mallu, etc.. the first site I played on online was VCpoker (I liked the software best) about 2004
And met Moorman/pab/flushy/geeforce on their. In 2015 I was Moorman's best man, and been friends with flushy and pab for a good 11 years and always get on with GeForce wherever we meet. A great group to get a grounding in poker

We all lived for that magazine, even though it was, astonishingly, printed in 3 languages, so two thirds of it was repeated info we could not even read.

First thing I did was look inside the back cover to read El Blondie's column, then scanned the Results section. 7th place in a tenner rebuy and we had our name in a magazine, yay. 

Naps Sheffield was amazing, & when the big boys came up - Camel, Colclough, Bushy, Joe Beevers, Shipley, Julian or Dave Gardner, Jac Arama (!) etc, we thought it was just great.

Naps Sheffield (Owlerton) is still the only venue I've played in which had a 200 denom tournament chip, too. Mind you, all the chips would stick together, unriffleable, as they were so filthy.

12 or 13 handed sometimes, too, though to be fair, the tables were HUGE. Most tables had 8 or 9 ashtrays on them too, amazing when you think of it.

Not sure I ever saw George - God bless his soul - without that fan, but I'm pretty sure he enjoyed a cigar when I first met him.

Naps Sheffield had one particular dealer I always remember, a lass, barely 4' tall, hair usually tied back. She was only small but she had some lip on her when lads tried to mess about at the table.

I'm not backing her but she's everychance if fit by race time.

Wolfcatcherjack I'm not as confident on now, it's 5lbs wrong vs
Osbournes on future runnings.

George's fan wasn't for keeping the smoke off him, he was a smoker himself.

If you look it was blowing toward him, not away.

Those crazy £10 re buys and Sheffield festivals at Naps

My first ever live tournament I agreed to meet Connor Tate who was Sealey from Ladbrokes so bear in mind I didn't know anybody at my first table I was sat inbetween a very chirpy Lawrence Gosney and CT Law (rip )opposite was Dave Gardner and a chap with a big cigar and a massive fan I later found out was George Geary (rip also)..Mr Gosney never shut up and we have subsequently a lot of fun over the years winding each other up.

For the festivals I got to know Tikay and from Nottingham Julian T and a fresh faced Wadey  and the standard Camel and Colclough.

Unfortunately the owners of Naps took liberties with the poker players (loads of things wrong )and the likes of myself stopped going

Great times even though we were packed like sardines in the smokiest environment ever

Meeting camel and his young son Jake who is just brilliant
Tomorrow at York, will try and get a few pics of the day.

Did a book on tonight's poker after dark sng

Odds for poker after dark $25k sng

Kassouf 4/1
Matusow 7/1
Shulman 4/1
Berky 7/2
David wiliams 7/2
JRB 6/1

They were my final prices and I've basically just laid David Williams
At 5/1 and 4/1 for about £450' total so him winning is a nightmare and will leave me very grumpy
Personally fancy berrkyy and he's the skinner so gl him

Sorted thanks. Gone in again on shrewd at 16/1 1/4 first 4.
Getting the train to York from Sheffield at about 11.30 am arriving into York at around 12.40
Then we'll hop on a bus to the course. Last time I went to York
Scouting for girls were on after and I had a bit too much pink champers and got
In a right tangle, just the one or 2 beers today. Not sure there's gonna be much on for kids
But as long as there's banter and burgers and chips Fred will have a good time.

1.55 Camel has owned this race the past few years and has put orions bow up on Facebook
         Which sends the alarm bells ringing and i do see his point but really like the two I've put up
         Omeara has the favourite also so on track I'll prob do some forecasts and tricasts and I've had a silly permed treble

1.55 3 omearas
4.15 star rider/shrewd
4.50'the fahey pair.

12 £5 trebles for a bit of fun. Me and Fred gonna get the placepot
Cracked on the train down there.

Last meeting I was at was thirsk a few weeks back and Keith and Jake
Met me there, Jake has a quid or 50p each way on one he likes
But is a few quid in make up with Keith so when he got a winner he didn't get a coin
Camel is militant in his old age. Hope to hear Jake has grinded his make up figure down today

This is a genuine offer at Hills.

Cliffs of Moher and Venice Beach seems a nice e/w double.  Put in something in the first and last for fun times. 

Hills don't like me enough and kids are on holiday so makes the shop run difficult.

I could prob get quite a bit on through different people and I know
The place bet is huge value, I just don't have a strong enough view on the race
And the pace angle makes it even trickier in a tactically run race though I'd wanna be with
Ryan Moore every time however if it doesn't look like winning then he might ease up
1 out which is a problem for the bet, just gonna leave some ev on the floor here

I suspect all are value on a fifth first 3, though haven't checked betfair.  I managed to get some money on the double, but computer said no when trying to put a treble on with one in the first.  I have probably made a mighty cock-up on the bet placement and should just have lucky 15'd it.  That account was already in trouble anyway.

Loved the Camel make up story.  Tough love.

Hope you get the lot at York.

Added Soie Dleau and Tathmeen to the e/w lucky 15.  I thought I'd not go overboard and tried for a £5 lucky 15.  Limited to £4.93.  That extra 7p made all the difference.  Fifth first 5 on the 2 handicaps, which I hate, but better than the fifth first 4 you'll get with 95% of the bookies at York.

Barney Roy and Cliffs of Moher looked to be fighting for the lead for no good reason to me.  Dare say mine had no chance anyway, but they seemed to set up perfectly for Crowley.

FWIW The commentator on ITV said it was a good even pace.  I was thinking, maybe if the race was over a mile...

I haven't seen any sectional times.

Sad to hear you had to go home, Trigg.

Wasn't it just?

An absolute delight to watch.

The front 2 were thrashing away with their whips, riding hell for leather, & Crowley was just sat there, quiet as a mouse, biding his time. Piggott will have loved that.

Hard to believe this was a Gp1, with half a mill up top & some lovely black type to the winner.

Just waiting on fitness nod

Way better than mine.  EV was tremendous though.  Soie D'Leau 14/1>8/1.  Venice Beech 7/1>9/2.  Cliffs of Moher 11/2>9/2 and Tathmeen 8/1>5/1.

Moana is the nut kids film if you can get that on the cheap morning show.  My two love it, but they are both girls.  Despicable Me 3 and Cars 3 are ok.  Captain Underpants is supposed to be good, but haven't seen it yet.  Can't bring myself to watch the Emoji Movie.  No idea if it is any good.

Few on my tracker tomorrow.

1.55'york one of the most exciting on my tracker was inviolable spirit
       But he's running it in this sales race on awful terms with the others I was hoping
       It would just run in a normal handicap but it's very unlikely to do anything tomorow
       I've chucked £20 ew on at 66/1

Others are kaths bay 3.40 Chepstow
                  Red shadow 5.10 Hamilton
                  Corporal Maddox 5.45 Chepstow


Will have to go through my notes later and find out why they're there.

Still waiting on news of fitness regarding my lumpy bet

He's been okish. He just can't seem to control his emotions too well.
He's fixated on routine so the last week has knocked him for 6.
Was my fault today I thought there would be stuff for kids to do without enquiring
And my idea of a fun day out and his idea aren't one and the same. I'm still learning this
Parenting lark so I'll improve going forward. The 35 min gap between races is brutally boring for kids
If there isn't an Fairground/face painting/pony rides

Think vick has been really shrewd letting me have the 9pm-3-4am shift claiming im used to
That time. Reckon she knew what time Percy would be up and active like he was in her belly 😂

Cliffs of moher faded. I'd actually mark down Ulysses run

Im not sure that you will get the same result at other tracks either, but still a superb awareness ride.


Been going through the Clipper Logistics Handicap, and I think I can honestly say I dont think I have ever been through a twenty runner handicap, and know at some stage I have backed every one of them. I been doing this too long!

Very canny ride yes, but what choice did he have when those 3 go blazing off at that tempo with Ulysses cruising speed. Agree very much about the track helping him cruise into the race also.
Don't think the 3yo's are up to much at all this year baring enable.
Cracksman will be some horse next year also.

Cracksman's burst of acceleration from just before the 2F pole really reminded me of Frankel - far more than any of his other offspring have done to date.

Point being, as it was a Grp 1, easy to panic and go too early after them, when the top class horses go. Takes skill and guts to sit when they are moving away, I'd say.

Cracksman was awesome.

Was working so didnt see interviews but could he take on Enable in the Arc?

Took my Son racing for the first time when he was about 7 and he was bored shitless with the waiting around and hasn't been back since. Maybe Fred would prefer the Dogs less chance of getting bored.
When my mrs first went back to work I would often end up with my Son sat on my lap when he had woken whilst I was still playing tournies

Just think Fred likes doing stuff rather that watching it for the most part.
It's good for him to work off some steam. Yeah I'm not gonna be grinding tourneys
With him sat on my lap just yet. I really need my desktop setup to feel comfy upstairs
While grinding and it's next door to the kids room so Percy would wake them up.

Sheffield dogs on a Saturday is a way I'm gonna make a few quid I think. No betfair for
The bookies to follow so it's my prices vs theirs and I'm happy to take them on whenever I get a few hours
To look at the races. I'll price all the races up and send my old man down Saturday night pay for his expenses
And call the bets through to him on the phone.

Meh bit harsh to write off a generation.  Battaash looks pretty top class and Enable clearly is top drawer. 

Ulysses is your standard improving Stoute 4 year old and it was a funny race.  Would it have won with Cracksman in the race?

Zootopolis is v good from memory.  Sure there were 2 or 3 really good ones last year.  Inside Out was really quirky.

Had small win bets on

Captain maddox (highly exposed but on a good mark and holds some ability) 11/1 nice price
Smaller bet on kaths boy as I don't like the fact he's up to a mile thought 7f best trip
Even smaller bet on red shadow have to put a big line through its last run and would have half a squeak 33/1

Regarding the big bet Im not gonna be able to put certain stuff on here and this is one I won't say whether it wins or
Loses but if certain people read this I'll be out of the loop.

first time ive posted on blonde in forever, but couldn't let this slide. Gonna try and avoid this sounding too soppy, but really happy for you and the family mate.
Think we met circa 10 years ago and in that time weve both had some serious swings (mine more documented than yours), but we have maintained a good friendship, have helped each other out  a load of times and have had some serious fun along the way.
I can relate to alot of what you said about having a kid (and being a kid yourself) and also "taking on" a child.
Maddie is 2 and a half now and however old and cheesy it sounds it honestly does go so fking fast!
My advice would be get in sleep when you can, even if small naps (the sleeping type) here and there, although i worry for percy if he has to hear your fking snoring. Also just treasure the time and moments, having a child is something you cant properly prepare for, but it honestly just makes other things in your life that you thought were important and special, not seem so. Its a true blessing.
Your gona make a great dad and i truly wish you every success.
Ill follow the thread to see what your doing your money on!
All the best mate

One that might run a race at a big price tomorrow is
Forest dragon in the 2.05 Newmarket at 50/1 was at thirsk for its last
Run and it got absolutely smashed from 12/1 to 7/2 in space of 20 mins
Before playing up massively in pre parade ring then went on huge drift, clearly
Showing something, prob one to look out for in nurserys but wouldn't put you off a cheeky
Tenner each way

Night gone pretty smoothly just facetimed vick and she seems a lot better
By mums gonna stop again tonight bless her and F and E at their grandparents
Again and their dad is taking them out tomorrow. Great that everyone is rallying round in
Time of need makes me feel really grateful.

Had a few bets today.

1.55 York mutakayyem ew 16/1
2.05 newm.  Had about £80 diva star 16/1 win last night purely off
                     The back of an interview I heard on ruk last week
                      Also had small ew forest dragon.

5.10 I marked up pour la victorie last time
6.15 marked up royal household
6.45 marked up general allenby


Problem with the sheer lack of time to study I'm not getting chance to look
At the other runners so gotta keep stakes small for now. Usually I'd spend 3 hours
On a card of 6 races and I don't have 30 mins at the moment. Just gonna play small on the
Horses I marked up over a certain amount last time.

Thought Hayley turner did too much on mukhayyem last time
On shergar cup day, on a day it didn't pay to be prominent. Guess because a lot of
Jockeys weren't used to the track and set too quick a gallop. The top 4 of mukayyems race
All came from a fair way back and we were right there a furlong out.

Also has York form and could still have some improvement left. Hopefully draw isn't too bad although
Not ideal, hopefully break out and try and make all. 16/1 v fair

Another crappy day horseswise. Funny story about Marsha.
Knew it was a rocket a few months before it hit the track and had fortunes on it
On debut at kempton think between 2-3k at 14/1 with a plan to lay off and take a very good freeroll
On the day it ran I was in a box at ascot on behalf of my mates company. For some reason the money
Never came think it went off 10/1 and got beat I neck never nearer. Turns out the horse that beat it is now rated
In the 100s. Guess we just bumped into one. Love the horse and been on a few times when she's won.

Think vick is almost definitely back tomorrow. It's great all the family rallying round. Even Fred and Evie's dad
Has said he will have them overnight even though it's not his turn on the rota. My mum has stayed overnight and
Is doing so tonight which has been a great help. And Vicks mum and dad have had Fred and Evie the last 2 nights.

Gonna dedicate the rest of the night (when I've chance to looking through some RIO videos

Put him on your shoulder.  Rub his back round and round until he burps or farts.  You should feel it and feel him relax after.  Try and stay awake until he is relaxed.  Walk around, even sing to him.  I am a bad singer, but it seems to work. 

Some nights are going to be shitty.  Good luck.

Again had zero time to study a card or even a race for today.
Gosdens in the 2.05 is an ✈️ and on small for 1,000 guinees at 50/1
Needs to be winning today for that.

Over at York I kinda like tor in the 2.25 around 16/1

And make time is a horse I really like in the 1.55

Again not had time to study, not even had time to go upstairs to

I'm being a bit naughty and subbed to ifollow using a vpn
Cost about £100 for the season, allows me to watch all wednesdays league
Games live at 3pm so hopefully will have chance to catch a bit of today's
Think every club has an ifollow option would recommend.

Vick coming home today as soon as a doctor signs her off
Can't wait to see her and for her to see little p.

In on day 2 with 50bb on Saturday all depends at the moment.

One medium sized bet today 3.05 bow belles 8/1
Marked it's last run at thirsk as a good maiden and duly the winner ran 2nd
In a listed race at York yesterday. Bow belles raced on his own on the far side last time
And if that wasn't the best patch of ground then she ran  a monster race. If it was the best place to run
Then we were flatted but at 8/1 I'm chancing my arm

Draw is a negative 8/8 but showed good speed so
Can get an early possie

Nice quiet day today, realised it's almost impossible to make money off the nags without
Time to study much the same as poker these days. Vick put message about having no visitors this week.
People think a fiver present or bottle of wine gives them a skeleton key to pop round and
Have a nosey and cuddle with Percy. Sounds a bit harsh but a lot of them have never been round before.
It's important to keep to just us 5 this week so we can all bond with Percy together and get him used to us all.

Didn't mention the dtd 1k to vick, I've been putting feeler bets out all week and she mentioned popping out somewhere on Saturday.
In poker terms she's donk  jammed the river instead of letting me barrel off 😂.  Gonna try and plan
A Sunday grind somehow. Will take a lot of juggling about with sleep and who's looking after Percy.

He was the youngest there by a few years today but loved it, he wants to go back on Friday.
Introduced him to card games today, old maid, happy families and snap, and he's pretty good at all 3.
Been trying to figure a way to get a session in sometime this week.

Could easily grind a few on the iPad but I've never played well on the iPad
No hud and can never had the concentration not to stick something on the Tv at the same time.
Other option is play 10am till about 5pm tomorrow when Fred and Evie are out with their grandparents
The final option available most nights is start at 2am and play till 8am.
Late reg the midnight start ones and reg up until about 3.30 and turbos 5/6am. This final option would require
Me to look after Percy at the same time and have nappy change and his crib upstairs which would potentially wake the kids up.
I could move my setup downstairs and do the 2am-8am schedule

Yes you're right 😂 All this study im doing is making me too keen.
I'm actually clocking more sleep than I do when I grind. We've decided that it's better for us both
To get in 6 hours sleep each rather than have him in the

Ffs I've not even looked at racing so far this week.

One horse I'm sure is being lined up for a coup is
Don cantillons navarra princess, clearly wants at least
6-7f and he's running him over 5f quickly to get his mark down
Keep eyes on entries for it, I have a feeling he'll wait until it's down to
45ish then will get it over 7f and have it away.

We've got a Dutch centre back I don't know much about that's the area we need to improve.
We've too many decent strikers, Rhodes, winall, hooper, fletcher, foristierri.
We just need to offload at least one and find a way to get balls in to Rhodes.
Unless we change the manager soon we're gonna be mid table. He's failed to get the best out of
A very talented squad and been given ample chance to. The football being served up is progressively worse
To watch and the prices keep going up.

Realised was posting a bit too much so had a few days off posting
And just chilled out a bit. Not had a bet since Saturday as most of the horses
I'd noted down have run again since and I've not had chance to reassess new form.
Back on the grind tonight 4pm-2am ish, if I run over slightly vick will have to prolong her shift with
Percy a little bit. Really confident with Percy now, it's just about getting to know him and what each cry
Means etc. The most important thing is letting his milk settle after a feed so he doesn't get full of wind in his basket.

Fred's first day back at school today, Evie starts reception next week so hopefully we'll be able to get in a good routine.
Off to donny races a week tomorrow for my mates bday so looking forward to that. Hopefully start first session of grind tonight with a
Winning one 🤑

Session of poker (had last night off) about 4pm hopefully continue the run good.
Currently watching Fred and his mates playing footy after school. Love all the kids terminology
Being the exact same as we used to use.

Goaly wag- keeper can come out and play outfield
Keepers ball- ball out of play keeper starts again with it
Stick - versus
Time waster (chanted at any keeper who doesn't kick it out in 1.1 secs or under

Nice one Trigg (if I may call you by your poker name).

I caught up with your diary recently - drawn, if I'm being honest, by your interest in racing. However, it's been a pleasure reading about your endeavours with a newborn. You've been getting lots of good advice from others, so I've not felt compelled to contribute - yet. Both my children are now at university, and yes, the time does fly. The only thing I'd mention is that you & the Mrs should be consistent with the kids and each other. Our kids are our legacy, and a reflection of us as their parents whilst they make their way through life. Good luck!

Lualiwa


seen pricewise also said cheifofchiefs is the best bet of the day and its come in a bit from the 7s i got. think just wants a strong pace and is on a good mark.
giving mukhayyem one more chance after david allan shot his bolt on it last time, had to use up way too much gas getting across to lead at york, still think the run at ascot was brilliant
although the mark does look high, last chance saloon here and comfortably the weakest of the 4.
danehill desert ran in that big sales race that bengali boys tore apart. 9 raced on the stands side that day. 1/9 on the stands side was corinthia knight that won by 6l next time
debutantes bull was 2/9 in group and got 4th in a g3 in france next time danehill desert was 3/9. his maiden win also working out nicely at hamilton only has mark of 75 and conor murtagh takes off 7lb, think 9/1 is massive.
lualiwa was keen and ran a huge race at ascot last time with a jockey not used to ascot and i think its a great shot at 12/1 in a very competative race

get the lucky 15s on and lets buy a row of houses each :D

There's only ever one winner ??
Genting correct but we get through a couple of bottles of wine n have a laugh
This then prompts a flurry of e mails morning n evening from Genting
Getting pissed off at their refusal to unsubscribe,I've started forwarding the e mails back to Genting and the gaming commission
Mysteriously after 3 weeks of this bollox they've stopped
That's at least 5 weeks of constant barrages by e mail ,even tho unsubscribe says 10-14 days to come into effect
For those with problems it seems to me the companies only seek to tempt people to keep playing

Well at least Wednesday won to lift the mood at the end of your day.

Agree with your discomfort about the amount of gambling advertising on TV atm. Like advertising booze in AA meetings. I spend too much time in the local Coral, and often get wound up by punters cursing at the roulette wheels when they're really under it. Even if they get ahead, the majority end up putting it all back. None of the staff come out to them & point out the "When the fun stops, stop" poster.

When I left school after A-levels and got thrown out of uni (for runnng a book) 😂 I went to work at hills in 2002.
I was in one of the roughest parts of Sheffield manor top. The machines had been in the bookies about 2 years i reckon but we only
Had two at the time and still 2 bandits. One day a local hard nut comes in wins about £400 from the machine and pops off for a bit.
He returns about 2 hours later and blows the £400 in about half an hour. I was in the shop on my own at this point due to already aquiring the assistant managers role which gave me about 50p pH more but allowed them to take liberties with me. The bloke decides to start spitting at the machine unplugged it threw it over kicked it until the screen was through then try and open it up with knife. Told me if I ring the police I'd be dead. It was only a group of old fellas coming in that halted it all and he gave it a couple more spits then left. Although a hard nut the guy was previously very
Polite and a nice guy. This highlighted what these machines can do to people.

Bit of a tradition, been to Ladies Day for last 25 years with the lads. Usually end up in that 70's or 80's bar in town opposite manana manana dancing to build me up buttercup and the like. Then a taxi back to Sheffield, up Eccy Road finishing off the night playing cash when I'm smashed :-)

Had 2 bets today

Small one on George duffields mount in the legends race. Just finished his autobiography
And loved it, he still rides out 4 times a week even though he's 70 years old. Also like the horse
Has half decent maiden form and one of the unexposed ones in the line up. Bout 7/1 seems fair but few
Firms opened 16/1 yesterday afternoon I was just a bit slow to grab it.

Had a bigger bet on air of Avalon in the 4.10 prescotts newcomer will go well here and is a nice horse 7/2 in a weak
Maiden looks good to me.

In that race.

We've patched things up. Biggest bet for a long while today on
Casement in the 4.45 sandown at 11/4 from one of my best sources
His record when telling me a charlton horse is really good so I've just bet it blind.

Started using infacol the past few nights and It seems to help him
Poo a lot better and be less stressed which is good. Finally learnt the art of burping to a tee
Up and down motions with the palm of your hand and the occasional tap seems to work a treat.

When I took over my shift at 2am Fred came down with Vicks phone which we let him have for 20 mins at night
And he usually brings it down after that time but he brought it down at 2.45am!! Reckon it's 1/12 that he's been asleep
Woken up and thought he'd better bring it down. Otherwise he's gonna be very tired today.

Casement ran a weird race, thought was in the queue 2out, his run got blocked a bit but looked like
He found very little for pressure and maybe the trip was a stretch, they seemed to go fast and slow it down a lot.

Having been in the owners and trainers on Thursday at donny there really is a vast difference

It really is worlds apart. Our table was frowned upon many a time during the day for 'shouting horses home and

A race how I do is really long. Will prob lose some viewers when I start back grinding a lot (this week)
As I will sometimes go weeks without a bet and will be fully tuned into poker.

Alan baileys assistant joe got us the badges on Thursday as they have a horse with him esspeegee
And I was ribbing joe on Thursday saying he would never win a race etc, anyhow he's gone and bloody won

No idea, I only enquire when im punting. Been grinding a little this week. It's a shame the Ayr gold cup isn't on
It's been a great race for me dating back to 2001. In June of that year I went on my first lads holiday with 3 pals to Benidorm.
I was 15 and my mates mum and dad came with us albeit different hotel. I used to pop down to one of the bar bookies in the afternoon as I've never
Been a beach person and have a few wagers. Whilst in there one day I struck up a conversation with a fella and we had a few pints. I followed him in on about 4 winners from 5 I thought he was god himself. Before I left he told me to bet continent in the Ayr gold cup. Shame it was pre mobile phone days (for me anyway) as I'd still be saying thank you now. When I got back from holiday June time, i was topping up at the local independent
every week until the day it got up at 11/1 I think. Ended up with about £170 on it and saw the result when I got back from hillsborough oioi the dazzler

Had a few decent nights on poker this week, 3rd b109 and 6th 55r eclipse series on 888 so cashed out about £2500 from make up deal
And keeps figure 0 before a huge Sunday. Gonna try and satty into the 5200.

As for today I like 2 vs the field in the group 3 sprint at Newbury.
Soooooo much pace in the race I like muthmir or encore d'or to pick up the pieces here.

If kohinoor diamond doesn't win the 7.45 Chelmsford tomorrow I'll be surprised
And our lass will be when she she's the accounts 😬, rather large bet at 4/1 required
Might take a freeroll as I fully expect it to go off under 2/1.

I've not been punting much at all, having a really good spell at poker it seems to be the softest
It's been in years, a lot of regs getting confused with PIO solver and forgetting solid fundamentals
There's not a chance in the world I could earn as much money at horses than at poker at the current time
So priorities mean that the nags on the back burner. Only betting info and other people's opinions I respect.

Longtime friend and great poker player Chris Brammer is an excellent judge and I follow him whenever he likes one.
His recent bracelet and a few other scores have allowed him to fulfill a lifelong dream of owning his own horse, a filly out of
Compton place trained by Archie Watson which will be hitting the tracks next year. The dam is secret romance so the obvious name
He wanted was California love, but it's not available. Any ideas?

Really looking forward to dtd £1100 on Friday maybe as much for just seeing some old faces and leaving all the carnage to
Vick (I'm sure her mum will help out) for the day

Not sure if it's taken but 'Californication' seems a good option if he's keen that it's derived from the dam/sire's names. Pleased to hear the poker is going so well. Thanks for the horse info.

I was there to hear Chris make his bracelet acceptance speech. Not seen one of these before, so I have no basis for comparison, but there did seem to be a lot of love in the room - including from Jack Effel himself. No surprise then that Chris made a gracious and humble speech. It’s a shame that it’s usually the loud & brash types that command the media attention.

I wish him and his horse all the very best of luck & success. And on that note, how about

Compton Secret

Both seem to be available

For whatever reason and was lucky to cash in the end. In retrospect was a huge grind
For me having very limited sleep before each day. The structure was great but I'll never buy in
On day 1 again while the day 2 average is only 30% bigger than the starting stack. Makes day 1

Out of equino so the bad run on soft last time isn't surprising
Wide draw here negative but low mark good 5lb claimer

Percy's not been on form recently but happy to report our little percy has.
He's sleeping 8pm till 4am some nights and is very settled at the moment.
Vick is not very well though mentally. She's got post natal depression (she had it after Fred)
And has been very low recently. My job until she's better is to look after her and let her get rest
And keep positive. Any advice on how else to help would be good.

Doubtful I'll be playing poker for the rest of the month so back to the horses we go.

Two I like today are

3.55 York the grand visir. Really liked the Melrose run last time being up with the pace when
       The other 6 of the top 7 were held up. The godolphin horse has to improve to win and our form is in the
       Book, had big bet 5/1 ew.

3.20 gullane one. Showed a lot of speed last time over 6, tiring in the final furlong on heavy ground
         Form of the maiden may be sketchy but back to 5 and better ground I can see a good run on the cards.
         Smaller ew bet at 18/1

Gl if your playing


Title: Re: Newborns and Newform
Post by: 4KSuited on October 13, 2017, 12:01:35 PM
Sorry to hear that Vick is suffering post natal depression. Me & mine were fortunate to not have to deal with that, so it's not from a position of first hand experience that I'd only make a couple of suggestions (apologies if these are too obv):

If it's at all feasible, try to get Vick & the kids out to the park, for a walk, just out of the home and in the fresh air. There's a lot of beauty in Mother Nature at this time of year, and I can only imagine that the depression is linked to a feeling of claustrophobia.

At least once a week, after we had our second child, we made a point of getting a baby-sitter for the older child whilst we went out for a meal and took the young one with us in their car seat. She'd always fall dead asleep in the car well before we got to the restaurant, and we'd bring her in and put her on a chair where we could keep an eye on her (still in the car seat ofc).

It's a funny old game, had biggest bet of the year on bath and tennis at Chepstow when it ran no sort of race
Not a penny on last night when it dances up at 11/2. At some point you gotta say no to the cliff.

Really odd. I had to go to Essex early yesterday and as I drove back the only horsebox I saw was Prescott on the M25 at 1.30.

Decided I needed to look it up and thought it was the one we had backed. Had a much smaller bet than when you suggested it but at least I got the last bet back.

Was a bit of a shocker for a Jonno horse. They normally give their best, but that wasn't great. He even eased off plenty as he could have got third at worst.

I know of no one that can read Jonno horses though, well enough to make money from them on a regular basis.

Will still be on the slow side.

2.30 George- ran in what's turned out to be 3 very good maidens and ran to his mark
                      In two nurserys will enjoy the cut and hopefully the extra furlong on breeding.
                       Cumanis jolly has been pulled recently due to soft ground, amazed were not clear fav
                       
3.35.  Port lairge.  This a lot riskier but thrown in on some course and distance form of this lowering
                              Mark. Will like the cut negative is often slow away. Anything over 8/1 looks a good Ew bet
                              To me (have also bet the fav in race)

Percy had his jabs today bless him, 3 needles and a drink he's very drowsy
Which is expected but wasn't easy seeing him scream in pain. All for the best though.
Vicks scar opened at the end quite badly due to an infection/abcess pushing out
So they couldn't stitch it back up. It's began to heal a little and her mood has got so much better.

So much so that I might be back on the grind Saturday or Sunday. I've been off the grind for 17 days now
Which doesn't sound that much but I still adore playing sessions and I've been on a solid run of cashing out most
Nights since a horrid start to the year.

Seems a lot of Vicks post natal depression problems were due to the pain
She was getting from her scar, which had an abcess under it. Now that's come out and
The scar is healing she's 100% better in herself, should be back on the grind in no time.
Evie is 5 on Sunday and Fred turned 6 in September. Amazing to think they were 2 and 3 when i met them.

Ffs I've not even looked at racing so far this week.

One horse I'm sure is being lined up for a coup is
Don cantillons navarra princess, clearly wants at least
6-7f and he's running him over 5f quickly to get his mark down
Keep eyes on entries for it, I have a feeling he'll wait until it's down to
45ish then will get it over 7f and have it away.

Runs today at Newcastle 20/1 into 8/1 so far see if I'm right

First update in a while not sure if I'll be posting more on here as I'm not punting much at the moment nearly all my spare time
Is poker related and trying to finally pass my driving test. Have a bundle going onto might bite in the king George at 9/2 down to 5/2

Turned out Percy has cows milk allergy and bad reflux, which we've managed as much as we can but we had to take him into
A and E yesterday as he was coughing really badly and struggling to breath, he's got bronchilitis which is rife this time of year.
He's struggling to sleep on his back and his reflux is worsened by the bronchilitis. He's had a rough time of it since birth but he's always smiling. When I walked into the hospital this morning to see him and vicky he gave me the biggest smile and it melted my heart. Can't wait for him to fully settle, get on his right milk and just be more happy in himself.

Vicks mental state has improved massively recently, a big thanks to a regular blonde poster who pm'd me a long message
With priceless advice and help. It's been a very hard 3 months for all the family but we're so strong now working together we feel we can
Get through anything. Poker has been really frustrating from November-early December with loads of brutal beats deep in huge stuff. Got a nice
$60k score last week on party but can't help thinking what could have been with a million up top. Will be playing a fair bit more live next year
As hopefully my sponsorship by grosvenor continues well. Feel really good about my game at the moment and looking forward to the results coming as soon as Percy is more settled.

If he doesn't like sleeping on his back try him on his front.

I know the 'recommendation' is always to put them to sleep on the back for the first 6 months but if you speak to any of the older midwife's etc they will tell you it is a crock.

We struggled with our second on his back, but then tried him on his front and never looked back.

One of mine had bronchilitis and ended up in hospital.  It is pretty alarming and I was frequently concerned how ill she was and that she might die.  I did sleep in the same room for a while and just picked her up and put her on my shoulder for a bit when she was struggling.  That will also help reflux too, obv.  She also got an inhaler and attachment, but she hated it, so am not sure it was much use.  It does go away eventually.  I am not convinced putting a baby on her front is best.  Cot death must be a bigger risk than bronchilitis?

How long have you been a Grosvenor pro and how did that come about?  I did see your name mentioned at either Blackpool or London.

Yup, Ali Mallu.

Ali had been involved in a bit of alleged argy bargy at Grosvenor Bolton on the Thursday, & after some dithering, Grosvenor banned him.

Meanwhile, he had entered that 2 day thing at Blackpool & we returned on Day 2 for the Final, including Ali. 

8 of us were seated, but Ali was stuck in Reception, they would not let him in.

Yogi (later of DTD) was the TD who had to sort it out.

The problem was that Ali had paid to enter, so should his chips be in play as he was now barred? Also, with his chips in play but him absent, it set up a weird seating dynamic.

Eventually his chips were taken out of play & off we went. I spent longer awaiting the start than I did playing the Final.....

Andy Bradshaw? I used to find him a little abrasive, but we are cool now. Only time I see him these days is in Vegas every year, & he's always very social & warm towards me. Think he does quite well in Vegas most years.
