Tips for Tikay

[Longy]

Got to be Floyd "Money" Mayweather.

Thanks for the Gallery, Rubbish.

Senna died 20 years ago? Wow, like you, I remrember it as if it were yesterday.

It was a "Princess Diana" or "President Kennedy" moment, I remember where I was when I saw the race, what I was doing, who I rung, everything.

It was so brutally instant. Everything was fine one moment, the car speared off the track at that left-hander, & that was it, game over.

There was a TV image I clearly remember, too, taken from a helicopter, above his prone body, with blood pouring out & spreading across the tarmac. We knew then, immediately, despite the weird Italian laws which meant his death was not formally confirmed until his body arrived at the hospital.

I hope this is not too inappropriate, but whilst on F1, I was playing poker last night, & a chap said he recognized me. Bla bla bla, turned out he thought I was Bernie Ecclestone.

Easy mistake to make. Not. He's 83.

That bit I can understand, but you're way taller than Bernie!

Pack it in, you can't say that about a legend. And I AM a legend.

How do I know?

I was researching something, & came across this.....

You don't need to bother reading it, most of it is crap.

This bit was pretty good though.....



Who is your poker hero?

This will probably surprise people but they are Tony Kendall and Kevin O'Leary. Tikay is just a legend, while Kevin is the ultimate poker pro

See that? LEGEND he said.

Knows his onions.

I stayed at my parents place last night and in the bedroom my mother had placed my copy of "Backing the Draw for Profit" on the bedside table.  Needless to say I retired early for some "bible study".

Baseball - The Orioles beat the Pirates 7-6 in extra innings and the Yankees were beaten 4-2 by Seattle.

Part of the tongue-in-cheek series I penned for the hopeless RP poker pullout. Knew I should've taken it cereal.

This bit's true though.

Best bit of poker advice received: "If you've got an ace, go all in. Most of the time they can't call" - Dick Lynch, a multi-dimensional Luton legend

any update on kingman sir chomps for the 2000?  Plan for the weekend regarding betting the lay back today/day of race/likely sp etc etc. 

ty in advance

Been a fair bit of rain around but Newmarket looks to have missed a lot of it, hence good to firm.

Listen's talking horse could yet start favourite imo and wouldn't be surprised to see Kingman keep drifting.

Obv this is just opinion, though, and trading out now could also be sensible.

Slightly separate issue as this was most definitely a trading position but the more I look at this race the more it feels to me like Kingman should be taken on.  When I watched the race at the time the second favourite played up at the start and 3 or four of them pulled too hard in the early stages whereas Kingman settled well so the others had expended a lot of energy and that tends to mean they are likely to tire quicker.  I feel as though that made Kingman look more impressive than it actually was and its time was nothing special according to the speed ratings guys.  Problem si what to take it on with.  You can be sure that no horse that Aiden O'Brien describes as his best ever (don't they do this twice a year?) can be value and the form in the book and at the end of the day Australia has only win a 4 runner group 3 and Curragh maiden where the second lost at Dundalk in a 5k maiden the other day.  The third and fourth favourites seem massively solid to me.  Both have won multiple group races and a group one race each and Toormore has already proved that it has trained on by winning the best trial for this race in decent fashion.  Anyone else got any thoughts on the race?  Feels like there might be one at a decent price lurking there somewhere?

what are people's thoughts this morning on spotting one to oppose the front 2?

I keep watching various videos trying to find one to beat Kingman, as backing Favs isn't my MO, but as much as Kingman does appear awkward in the first half of races, once he hits his stride he looks amazing.

The more I watch the more I think he will win.

If pushed for an outsider I would go for Outstrip who is bred to appreciate the step to a mile, and has always looked a proper terrier.

I have just bet my lay back at 2.82 this morning.  I have no opinion on what's going to happen at all.  Was always my plan to lay to back pre race
