Nice win today Adz, i missed both unfortunately. 

Any views on oriental fox for the cesarewitch?  We know it stays and Murtagh is back on for the ride, he is in ridiculous form of late and i'm guessing he could have had any number of rides? so it's a positive that he is sticking with it after his last win.

Orpsie boy runs tomorrow in the 6:10 at wolves.  Career low mark, 22 races without a win.  I didn't think it ran well last race, but showed promising signs before that.  Last race was a class 5, back down to class 6 again today.  Same course and distance they keep trying it over.  Drawn low which is a positive, Luke Morris keeps the ride after last time which in my mind is another positive, must think it has a chance if he is back on board after last time? Obviously its long losing run is a negative, at 12/1 im happy to take a little punt.  If they can't get it to do the business tomorrow, I think its time to give up and forget about its falling mark and delete him from the nagme.

Mr Sparrow.
These sound like ice creamy traits you have developed, falling in love with a horse etc and backing it til it wins.......tut tut( never expose yourself so publically, always keep it off blonde ;0)).

As a long time OB fan it has to be last chance saloon time. I thought he had everything in his favour last time tbh, and he never showed up, in all honesty I must question the wisdom.

OF very impressive last time. Sadly I rarely get Mark Johnno right, and feel lucky to have got a few bob from him last time when the maestro was on him. I won't be following up and will be hoping rain stays away as I am on Domination at nice prices.

I don't think I'm developing ice cream traits, I've always had them lol.  Definitely improving on it though but you are right, I should not follow horses as often as I do, part of the learning curve that I haven't quite got over yet.  I haven't put any money on the fox yet, orpsie is carrying a few of my ££ though and it will be his last chance !

See, for all my good intentions I will have too now as well!!! Gl mate

well done yesterday adz

not sure i trust oriental fox to do it again on Saturday especially at a similar price to last time in a much tougher race?

As for orpsie boy think i said before never get Carr right so i leave her alone horse looks to have lost its spark though? Never put anyone of a double figure priced horse saying that

had pennies on JUSTONEFORTHEROAD today at York

Based on last run looks back in form, likes the track, the ever softening ground is a bonus, well handicapped and i really like Samantha Bell as a claimer (Seems to have settled in with Fahey now after a slow start)

small bet at 20's ish

Hugh has just put up Sohar as we;ll so at least should have a value loser tommorow evening

As he states looks like the rain will be hitting hq so i have had my final ces bet on moidore

[horseplayer]

Hugh has now put up Moidore as well

Hugh is definitely 'due' that's for sure. I've been following him for the last month and it's been very cold!

He posted himself the other day that this year was his best ever until the last 4 weeks, which have been abysmal and he had his first winner over that period on Tuesday.

That said, he has been pretty unlucky a few times, the most memorable being Chrissycross - a 12/1 shot that pulled 5 lengths clear to lose by less than a neck.

[horseplayer]

I didnt mean it to sound negative he had put up Moidore just the fact the price would go before i could get on which it has

Think he had a winner in the week at Wolver?

Gotcha, hopefully they'll ease them again in the morning so you can get the better price.

Yes, he had a winner at Brighton on Tuesday and that was the first for about 3 weeks.
