I've had a tenner on the Fleeting Spirit/Navigator double as well.

My picks are as follows:

2.30 - Darjina

3.05 - Fleeting Spirit

3.45 - Falco

4.20 - Peter Tchaikovsky

4.55 - Hawbridge Princess

Done a 30p Canadian like you've done.

I've also had £2.50 e/w on Stubbs Art in the 3.45 and a fiver on Bushranger in the 5.30

Gonna see how they all get on before I decide on tonight's bets. Will be backing Hasty Retreat though.

I can't believe Effort is 33/1 in the last Kerrin Mc Evoy on board as well.

[Maybes]

Hasty Retreat is odds on.

I backed that when it won a few weeks back. Unbelievable odds. I'm having a £2.50 e/w on that.

Officer Mor at 100/1 in the 5.30, stupid odds. Backing that as well.

[Ric Flair]

Hasty Retreat is odds on.

Jesus!!! Backed in then.

[Ric Flair]

Shit! Darjina beaten on a photo finish. Murtagh and O'Brien off to a flyer, should have known really.

He's in my placepot so at least that is still on.

5 selections

26 bets

10 doubles

10 trebles

5 fourfolds

1 Accy

Write it on the slip as I have done above. Doesn't have to be a £1 it could be 5p or 10p.

Didn't do it in the end. Went on all singles. Had it been a £1 how much would have the whole bet cost me?

[Toby or not Toby]

I've backed henrythenavigator for this one.

What odds did people get for him?

[Ric Flair]

5.40 Niteowl Lad @ Thirsk

£10 e/w

[Head Honcho]

Unbelievable!

Murtagh gets a ban for excessive use of the whip in the first but the horse keeps the race

How can a horse be allowed to keep a race when his jockey gets banned for a riding/whipping offence?

[Toby or not Toby]

Fleeting Spirit let me down

[Ric Flair]

Henry, you're a world beater.

Backed it on saturday, think I got 8/11 or slightly better. Only had a tenner on it though.

[Toby or not Toby]

I got 4/7 for it

I'm backing orizaba, i got 10/3 for it

Backed it each way

[Head Honcho]

Ha!

Had a last minute fiver on Art Connisseur

[Toby or not Toby]

Orizaba was crap

[Ric Flair]

I hope Art Connoisseur doesn't bite me on the arse, have been fancying that for a few days now but O'Brien's record hasd lead me to go with Peter Tchaikovsky instead.

[Head Honcho]

Just had a late fiver on Mamlook

Oooh that was close

I have no idea why they needed a photograph.

I'm gonna save Matt the trouble of posting and say "I can't believe that I've won a bet. Me, the most unluckiest person in the world when it comes to betting"

I'm shocked - Two wins in 3 days! The tip off of here the other day and the double last night and I would have bet on Henrythenavigator today if I had managed to get on the internet/to a bookies but missed out

[Head Honcho]

The bookies aren't usually wrong with these type of matches but 6/5 on Romania looks a bit stingy 11/4 for the draw suggests that a draw is out of the question from a bookies point of view (9/4 is usual for a draw) I'm gonna go for Holland to keep up the momentum.

It's taken Van Basten a few years to get the this team to even get on with each other never mind get them playing well together and I don't think he'll risk anything by dropping half the team.

Holland-Italy double for me £20 at 6.82/1

That'll do.

[Joe.]

That'll do.

:thumbsup:

Great stuff.

[ronnup]

That'll do.

Well played son

[filbertway]

To think the bookies priced Holland at 15/8

Romania wouldn't have scored if Holland wanted them to.

[Number 6]

Not sure about a double tomorrow. Odds for Spain are very short, might go for a Spain to win to nil & Russia win double
