Im excited to announce the addition of our new and improved tipping competition. Previously the NAP competition has been run manually on this blog. Needless to say this took up a lot of time and effort from the members involved.
Now we have launched a brand new comp that is completely automated and free!!. Simply register once and the system will keep you logged in. You then select your NAP each day and our software will automatically create a league table.
What's new:
We have also added a new prize that will certainly get you going! The overall winner after each 6 month period gets a chance to run their very own tipping service, and earn an extra few quid too.....
I will keep this page up and running so that you can discuss and chat with other members as you did previously.
If you haven't already done so, register for the new competition and start selecting your NAPs > Tipping Comp
Well done with your winner mine unplaced p/u. The Norfolk Turkey crown was in the freezer since Christmas. So i thought Easter was a good time to eat it with parsnips/carrots/swede/ gravy/ cranberry sauce/roast potatoes/followed by oat apple crumble/ice cream. Yes two pints of Fullers London Pride amber ale. It will be Turkey salads for the next few days. John.

Mr T,
Courageous Strike will not run 9th at Taunton 2.55pm as the race will come to soon. His next race will be in May all been well, he should be okay on good to soft ground. John.
Mr T,
Freddie Gingell replaced Harry Cobden as Harry was sore from National fall.Freddie said he ran free and was 20 lenghts in front during the race, but managed to get 2nd place. Paul was pleased with the run and said his next race will be 2 miles maybe Newton Abbbot/Stratford that will suit him in May.The scab on his foot opened up so will need time to heal. He has not had any setbacks just in pre-training before going to Paul`s . Over all had a happy weekend with the horses and showed a profit also very pleased with Courageous Strike run. I noticed you had a couple of winners over the weekend, well done. Onwards & upwards. John.
John,
That was an encouraging run for a first start this season & after his setbacks. A bit early to know but is he the kind of horse that can run on any going or does he need a bit of give in the ground?
After a winner yesterday, I managed to find another today as well as a placed & on unplaced. I have one selection for Monday.
Excellent Believe. 15.35 Wolverhampton
Mr T,
Courageous Strike is drifting like a barge. Is it head over heart, it would be rude not to back him as i have a share in him done £10 E/W tote bet total £20, small bet the same when richhill run first he drifted out to 22/1 and i backed him E/W he finished 3rd in a hot race £10 E/w. Hope Courageous Strike runs well & he is in the shake-up, but will know more at 2.30 Ffos Las. Got to be init to win it. John.
John,
Yes, well done with your National bets. I had a welcome winner and a fourth placed today. I have three selections for Sunday.

The free bet pulled -up typical. Three of my five backed horses ,one brought down /one pulled up/one fell, lucky the other two were savers Nick Rockett won the National Also Meetingofthewaters was fifth. , nice profit todat. I do not read timeform(iread between the lines) It works sometimes like today. I see you had a winner well done. Hope the good look continues Sunday with Courageous Strike. John.

Courageous Strike is declared for Sunday 6th Ffos Las 2.25 pm. Paul says he has scholled well.

Mr T,
Change of plan again, Courageous Strike is in at Ffos Las 2.25, 9 runners . Harry Cobden will ride. John.
Mr T,
£1 E/W Afadil free bet Aintree 5.15pm . Backed him when he finished 3rd E/w atSandown so worth giving him another go as nothing to lose. There has been a entry change Corageous Strike he is now entered at Taunton on 9th of April 2.55 Novice hurdle 2mile+ .Good Luck with yours. John.

Best Adventure 16.55 Southwell.
Mr T,
In my younger years have travelled long distances on trains Nottingham/ Bath to the races and enjoyed it and drove to the nearer races by car. A bit old for travelling long distances now only once a year and that`s on holiday approx 2,000 by plane/ taxi`s miles. My legs/feet are a problem. And as i expect you know at the races you are on your feet most of the day> I will be watching the race on my computor at home. Good luck with yours today. John.
John,
I assume you will be watching from your armchair or the bookies on the 6th rather than travel to South Wales?
Anyway, best of luck if it runs.

John,
You fared better than I did. One second (beaten by a neck ) & one unplaced. As I said the old adage is not to back on the flat until the end of April, so not listening to my own advise I gave two selections at Doncaster today & I have another two for Sunday.
Rathgar 16.15 D0ncaster.
Glory Hyde 18.00 Doncaster.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Mr T,
Managed one winner 3/1, the good old Skelton team, i guess it was a tough ask to get winners first day`s of the flat season ,without knowing which horses are fully fit or horses that needed the run that will bring them on and maybe win next time. John.
Mr T,
Lovely sunny day here today. Lucky 31 Best odds P P.

Mr T,
Worked in London years ago,would not go there now not my cup of tea ,ideal for foreign tourists. When it starts getting near my holidays , i am looking for a single bet to pay for round trip taxi`s Gatwick. Last year Man Und obliged at 9/1 £10 E/W. When i am reading the racecards and fancy a tickle, i remember Brian Clough once saying i have a great team on paper but not on grass. The older the car the more expense.Courageous Strike got cut schooling has a bandage on to keep the cut clean, he is entered at Taunton 9th April all been well. Good Luck With your 4 . John.

I have not been to Cornwall but next door, Devon on a couple of occasions. Also Hythe in Kent where we lived for a couple of years. Been to London on our honeymoon but would not go again. Just cost me £250 on one Volvo on the brakes today. I am skint now for another month.
Mr T,
If you ever get the chance to visit the english riveria it is Newquay Cornwall it is a beautifull place, i visited it years ago when it was a surfing resort also fish food & the cornish Pasty. I like the guarnteed sunshine 13 hours a day also spend time in the shade it is the warm temperature ,not like the UK, i love Turkey & the people so friendly. My friend had a Volvo estate back in the 80s he had a trailer on the back he towed with tools also work equipment, built like a tank, very popular car like the VW camper van in them days gone by. Well done 54 years of marriage &many more happy years. John.
John,,
A mixed bag today, a winner , one unplaced & one non runner.
I have no selections for Tuesday.
I have been driving Volvo’s for the last 35 years & the other Volvo was given to us by our youngest son.
I should point out that neither of the cars are young models but we do keep them well maintained & yes that does cost a pretty penny.
All couples are different and after 54 years of marriage next month, my wife & I are happy enough for her to spend time with the grandkids. I am not a sun fan & prefer to stay in the uk, after all there are many places over here I have not been too yet
Mr T,
It begs the question, `who wears the trousers in your house`?. I think you are fortunate to own two Volvo`s as it must be a small fortune to keep them on the road, service/mot/tax/insurance`s/ repairs/tyres. I have a small 4 door Fiat and that costs enough to keep going for me. I don`t understand not going on holiday with your wife, as everyone goes on holiday with there wife & family. The Beckett horse should go well in Lincoln, a doubt about ground conditions he needs a cut in the ground so the experts say. John.
Mr T,
I always thought it was normal to holiday with your wife/girlfriend it is company & not nice been alone,if you go to all inclusive hotel everything is laid on also use of the facilities ,eat as much /drink as much as you want,theatre shows at night ,can`t get anymore relaxing then that. I will have a look Saturday at the racecards. John.
John,
I am assuming that you are not married. If you were you would understand that you cannot have a relaxing time unless the wife goes away on holiday. My wife visits the lads & grandkids in Cumbria & that is the only chance I have to relax at home by myself. We both drive & both of us have Volvo’s. I would go on a cruise but the wife won’t
Back to the racing & I have three selections for Monday.
Gallant . !6.17 Lingfield
Queen All Star 17.30 Wolverhampton.
Gressington. 19.30 Wolverhampton.
I look forward to the flat season but I was told at an early stage that the flat should be left until the Sandown mixed meeting at the end of April. That of course was before we had A/W racing so that advice may no longer apply.
Mr T,
A welcome change this weekend , the flat season starts with Lincoln Saturday, variety is the spice of life. Have you booked your holiday`s yet?. I guess you are limited to where you can go as you don`t fly or go on cruises. Do you drive a car?. You can go abroad through the tunnells if you drive of course. I am going June 1st Turkish Riveria which i frequent every year, i fly and use taxi`s to airport, the other end all inclusive. I like the relaxing Life, Do You?. John.
John,
No luck with my selections, one unplaced one n/r. You had a nice winner but nothing with it. I see the placepot at Bangor was a decent payout. I have no selections for Sunday.
Mr T.
You got to speculate to accumalate. I had three winners on the Lottery 10- 54 – 55 – prize £30. Only do it when maxmium roll over like tonight. I have a Fiat car that i drive to get about and drive when my feet are okay. Had a mixed bag one n/r- one winner 9/2 horses. Placepot no good, lots of non runners today also rule fours kick in, which spoils your bet`s if you happen to click. Not a bad day can`t complain. John.
John,
You must have come into money. A car ride into town, your normal L15, A placepot bet & then the Lottery.
Mr T,
Gave the placepot a go Bangor. -4-2-2-3- Fav -8. £1 stake. Hanen`t done this bet in years. See how it goes today. John.
Mr T,
Change of plan due to rain this morning, E/W L15 Paddy Power.
Riskintheground 7/1 New 2.40. -Renes Walk 8/1 3.50 New.-Kadastral 6/4 New4.25.-Kathleens Glory 6/1 Wolves 7.00pm. Small investment. Lotto tonight 11.6 million must be won, so a little investment in that as well. Good Luck with your two. John.
John,
Unplaced today. I know I sometimes put up three or four selections but I am not sure I could give many winners in a L15, I prefer to stick with either one or two selections.
I have just two selections for Saturday.
Sunshine Diamond 16.02 Bangor on Dee.
Two B Tanned. 19.45 Newcastle.
Good luck with your selections tomorrow.
Mr T,
Having a drive out to the Betfred Shop Saturday morning as my feet are a lot better also the weather. Betfred do bonuses on L 15/31/63 if you are lucky to get all the winners on each lucky bets. It is worth doing to get the best deals. Good Luck with yours. John.
Mr T,
Yes no luck yesterday not Mostly Sunny. Wait now for Saturday`s cards. Good Luck with yours today. John.
John,
I see your tip was out of the prize money. I have one selection for Friday.
Karthon. 17.25 Southwell.
Mr T,
Mostly Sunny , Ludlow 4.30 -9/2 best Odds.
John,
Thanks. Shame about the second placed otherwise it would have been three for the day. At the moment, I can see plenty of maybes for tomorrow but nothing I can put up with too much confidence, so it will be a case of just watching & if my maybe’s win, a lot of cursing.
Mr T,
That the turd day you have struck with winners well done. John.
John,
Looking at her price this morning , I was expecting her to go off o/o so 6/4 was decent. I thought she hit the last couple of hurdles but she was kept up to her task.
I will put the dampers on it tomorrow for I have three selections.
Ride Like A Girl. 17.12 Huntingdon
Spirit of Summer. 19.30 Southwell
Chief Mankato. 20.30 Southwell

John,
Thanks. I could do with that win every day . I have another selection for Tuesday.
Audacious Annie. 15.00 Wetherby.
Frank Carson would say it`s the way i tell em, in your case Colin i think it`s the way you pick em. Mr T had a nice winner today and it was backed into Fav. Good Luck. John.
Colin here, crap Cheltenham. 365 tried to give money away with Con HILL evens Johnbon 7/4 and evens gold cup fav. Had 40 quid on each. Didn’t do too bad otherwise. Catch you both later.
John,
Well that was not a great start to the week, another unplaced selection. I have one selection for Monday.
Dwight K Schrute. 14.02 Fontwell.

Hidden Heroics -1.50 Uttox 5/2 –Joyeux Machin 2.25 Uttox 2/1 –Queensworthy 5.20 Uttox — Asta La Pasta 2.10 Kem 7/4 .
Flegmatic 3.20 Kem 3/1 –Sail Away 4.32 Kem 12/1 –Leaumecue De Mee 5.07 Kem 100/30. — West Balboa 2.45 Kem 16/1. It is 50p L15 or a £1 ones saturday during week 10p ones as losses soon mount up. Picked up some placepot 7 slips at Betfred Shop this morning, that looks a realistic bet with a chance of getting them all placed. Getting them all to win is slim, better buying a £2 Lottery ticket with a chance to win Millions. Good luck with yours . John.
John,
Yes, a winner but o/o again. Will you be doing your l15 on Saturday or are you tempted to try the Scoop6 or Tote Jackpot?
I have two selections for Saturday.
Hi Ya Mal. 16.38 Southwell
National Health.20.30 Wolverhampton.
Good luck with any of your bets.

Less said about my selections today the better. I have multiple choices for Friday but will limit it to just one.
Our ‘Enery. 17.45 Wolverhampton.
Mr T.
Paddy Power don`t have that bet on there site trifecta, i stick with the safer bets L15s /single bets keep it simple, to name 1st-2nd 3rd in a bet that is a bookie bet. My free bet lost also your three selections bit the dust. No free bets Friday with Paddy Power. Your trifecta you had the winner the other 2 bit the dust. John.
John,
Mmm. Not sure about your free bet today.
I know I have no right to comment on Chetenham races as I am not a fan of the meeting but I still look at the fields. If you could have A Trifecta bet as your free bet I think I would go for Djelo,
Fact to File & Hang in There with Djelo being the best of the three. We shall see .
Mr T,
I see my ante post bet Langer Dan a non runner this morning £10 E/W at 20/1, nothing lost nothing gained my £20 back.
Paddy Power free bet today is £2 -Protektorat -3.20 Chel £1 E/W at 6/1 . Good luck with yours .John.
Mr T,
Langer Dan non runner this morning my(ante post bet)
John,
That was a nice result for you today, a decent profit as well.
I have three selections for Thursday.
Keen Interest .16.50 Newcastle
Cemlyn.18.00 Newcastle
Metallo. 19.15 Chelmsford
Mr T,
Yesterdays two odds on bankers hit the fences same as the two today,lost there races it is very fine margins in grade 1 races between winning & defeat. It would have cost the bookie`s a fortune. Having the free bets there is no pressure win/lose/draw. When you put your own money down more concentration> Anway had 2 winners The New Lion 3/1 -Bambino Fever 9/2, happy with that. I advised Langer Dan (Stayers Hurdle) on 19th Feb on this page at 20/1 E/W, so fingers crossed for tomorrow. I have it backed since 9th Feb. More free bets Thursday, make hay while the sun shines.John.
MrT,
Win L15 – The New Lion 2/1 -1.20pm. – Jonbon 9/10-4.00 pm.- Ballyburn 8/13-2.00pm – Bambino Fever 9/2- 5.20pm. All Cheltenham. Bookies free bets. John.
Mr T,
2 winners two very unlucky losers one fell one bad mistake. but lost nothing in defeat as it was a free bet, same Wednesday another free bet with Paddy Power also W/H free shop bets coupon in newspapers. Courageous Strike is two more schooling hurdle`s away before he has a run. John
John,
A good job your L15 was a freebie bet today.
I have one selection for Wednesday.
Kings Merchant 16.55 Wolverhampton
I do not even look at Cheltenham runners, I prefer the other meetings.
MR T,
The olympics of horse racing starts today. L 15 win best odds.
All Cheltenham Tuesday -Kopek Des Bordes -Majborough -Lossiemouth – Constitution Hill. Not a lover of odds on shots ,but they look good on paper &using the bookies free bets. John.
MR T,
Suprised your not tipping Tuesday the four day festival as there are free bets in the national newspapers available to everyone. Paddy Power is giving a £5 free bet to internet members , i will be using the free bets towards my selections . But if you don`t bet i guess it wont interest you, all you have to do is buy a newspaper for a £3 bt William hill shop bets. I guess you are aware of that, just a mention. John.
John,
My selection finished 3rd, a small profit if backed e/w. My long distance traveller finished 4th, so glad I did not put it up as a selection. I have no selections for Tuesday.
John,
A welcome winner today, slight o/o but may have been 2nd fav. had V Williams not pulled out her horse as that was fav last night. One for consideration tomorrow, not a selection, but it is worth noting that Lucinda Russell is taking one horse to Taunton on Monday, a 445mile one way trip. I would point out that she is also sending six horses to Cheltenham, so the runner at Taunton will probably travel with them.
I do have one selection for Monday.
Miakoda. 19.30 Newcastle.
Hi Colin,
In case you want another bite at Nowis the hour he is entered Cheltenham 11th -5.20pm. John.
Hi Colin,
Looks like your `tenner` has gone in the bookies pocket?. The horse you tipped in the Kim Muir Chelt6enham is not running also the £50 ,000 L15 you gave they all finished last (Pulled Up) also Tellerthename finished last. Tell your tipster to get a new pin for picking the horses. John.
John,
At least one of us can pick winners. I had a bad end to what had been a decent week.It may have been the blinkers for the first time or the 1ib overweight that saw my selection finish last.I have one selection for Sunday.
Woodie Flash. 16.23 Warwick.
MR T,
Had 3 winners 2placed in L15s so lost a little but had Afadil backed E/W single bet he finished 3rd so overall not lost. The ground was soft at Sandown which effected some trainers including P Nicholls , he commented on the soft ground before the 2.25 race on TV that it would not suit Afadil but he ran a blinder he would have won on good ground. The ground is drying out at Cheltenham which will suit the speedy horses. Will be back Tuesday with a Cheltenham bet. John.
John,
I nearly put two up at Sandown myself but did not in the end. Just for interest they were Keplers Law in the 13. 50 & Spirits Bay in the 14.25.
MR T,
Been into the village bookie ( Corals) had an E/W on Afadil at 13/2-2.25 San- I heard it through the grapevine, hope he goes well of a light weight. Good Luck. John.

It was last October Come on John won, i felt it in my water yesterday he was coming to the boil & steamed in.Put me ahead from last weekend.

Thanks for the tips but as John points out I have given up betting but enjoy making my selections daily just as I enjoyed the competition when it was alive. Best of luck with your bets if you are backing them
John,
I have two selections for Saturday, hoping to continue the run.
There Runs Mary. 16.50 Newbury
Tomorrow Day. 18.45 Newcastle.
As for Spring, for me it starts when I can get the first cut on the lawns which the experts say is not before March 18th although this year it may stretch to the 1st week in April up North.
Good Afternoon Colin,
Divided opinions on spring , the meteorlogical calender spring will always start 1st March ending 31st May. I go by that as i go on holiday June 1st start of Summer. As your L15 goes MR T, don`t back horses. The lucky 15 is a good bet double the odds one winner also potential to win big for the small outlay. Good luck to win the £50,000 you will need it, but you have to be in it to win it. John.
JOHN, up north Spring doesn’t start till 21st of MARCH. Always has done and always will.
Morning Mr T and John, I told you about that antepost man tipping TELLERTHENAME. Well it runs at Kelso 3-30 tomorrow. It was 10/1 when I backed it, it’s about 9/2 now. THhis week he has given Valderspoel 2-55 Kelso, Some Scope 3-15 Donny and Paint the Dream 3-45 Newbury. £1 lucky 15 should fetch you about 50 grand. Only one snag, horses have to win.
John,
I have one selection for Friday.

John,
I have three selections for Thursday.
Salley Gardens 15.35 Taunton

MR T,
Courageous Strike is doing well everything positive at P. Nicholls yard . Not sure when he will be race fit, maybe April to race. Spring is coming quicker then you think?. Starts this weekend, not long to Cheltenham. John.
John,
Another placed horse today. I have one selection for Tuesday.
My Portia. 15.00 Catterick.
MR T.,
The olympics of the n/h Cheltenham meeting is not far away. The Skelton team have a srong team this year, there father won an olympic gold medal horse jumping, if they can get 4or5 winners at a tough meeting would be good , the same the Nicholl`s team. There will be a lot of irish horses under the radar. John.
John,
A 2nd place finish today.
I have one selection for Monday.
Bowensonfire. 16.00 Ayr.
John,
Well done. A small win is better than a loss. As well as Nicholl’s horses coming back to form I notice Henderson’s are also in form. Both in time for Cheltenham. You just need Skelton’s to start firing again & you will be well set for March. I started well then went down the pan. I have one selection for Sunday.

Drayton Flyer. 15.05 Lingfield
Malinka 16.45 Huntingdon
Dark Kestrel. 18.30 Newcastle
Been
ealing with an irish tipster for years
B and not good at all lated
Been dealing with an irish contact for years. He mentioned that for kim muir about 4 weeks ago. He used to be brilliant, but he’s had a crap year
and he’s getting his cards after his year ends with big Punchestown
meeting. Don’t know how I started but it was about 3 weeks ago I got an e-mail to get a man called ante post man. I think he might be good. Reckons he’s 106 quid in pocket this year from £1 stakes. Only mentioned one this week. Tellherthename in moorbattle hurdle at kelso on saturday. Said if it wins it will be trying for county hurdle at cheltenham. He mentioned 4 for cheltenham and i’ve had a 2 quid lucky 15. stand to win 20 grand. What a dreamer. The horses are all nrnb and they are Be Aware coral cup, Lifferty Hunter grand annual, Galileo Dame mares novices hurdle and Wadhooh in martin pipe hurdle. Best of british. I’ll need it.
.

MR T / Colin.
Grey Dawning E/W -16/1 (Gold Cup) – Langer Dan E/W 20/1 (Stayers Hurdle) – Ante post Cheltenham March 2025. Non Runner no bet money back, most bookies now doing this, some all races others the big races only. Good Luck Colin with your (Kim Muir ) Cheltenham bet It`s now is the hour looks like you got on at a good price? 20/1 brave bet to win in a big race. Fortune favours the brave. Good Luck. John.
John,
You are probably right to leave Nicholl’s horses until they start showing some form. I had a third today but bad price.
One selection for Wednesday.
Hi Ya Mal 20.30 Kempton.
MR T,
One winner /2 turds/one still running. Did back them with caution ,small wager as the Nicholl`s horses are not right yet ,something lurking in the yard, that is effecting a lot of the horses. Had a saver on the last race the french named horse at 5/2 ,won nicely. Might leave it until the weekend. John.
MR T,
Small stake Lucky15 -Ask me another 7/4 -2.05 Taunton.- The final word 2/1 -3.05 Taunton – Liari 2/1 Taunton 4.10. -Shearer Taunton 4.45 4/9. You don`t have to be a gambler to like horses, but your statement about wanting to know when trainers/jockeys are in form, that is what a gambler would be interested in. It is nonsense to predict when trainers are coming to form as the horses dictate and if they have a virus it effects everything EG Paul Nicholls yard, all the horses had to have flu jabs, as they were running below form. Not rocket science. John.
John,
I did not know I had to be a gambler to be interested in horses. For your information I used to be a medium sized gambler but gave it up as I could not win enough times to make it pay
.( A bit like my tipping at present)
I have one selection for Tuesday.
Forward Thinking. 17.02 Market Rasen.
Colin/Mr T,
The Racing Post/Sporting Life is free on the internet a page of racing news ,racecards with form,timeform ratings. That is what the average punter would read. An alternative to buying the paper, they are free to read in the betting shop`s at least one or two copies on table depending on what shop you use, but might not suit you MR T as you don`t bet on horses , i guess you wont be in betting shop`s. Iam suprised you need more intense horse information as you are not a gambler. John.
John,
When I saw the first winner go in I thought you might have a good day but glad you made a small profit.
I have two selections for Monday.
Butch. 13.50 Carlisle
The Wolf 14.50 Carlisle
Colin,
I also have a problem with Racing Post. I used their site to check which trainers and jockeys were in form and their future entries. Now you have to subscribe to view the pages as they call this premium content. Well being a Northerner they know what they can do with their premium content. I understand similar information is available on GeeGeez.
MR T,
Got one winner best odds 5/1 today also come on john withdrawn & two lost. Small profit. John
It’s Now is the Hour in Kim Muir. Had a tenner on nose at 20s. It’s 12/1 second fav at moment. That football bet fetched 550quid for 25 stake. Keep going with John.
Mr T, cant be bother sometimes. Tend to bet Fridays and Saturdays cos cant bet seriously without Racing Post and it costs a fortune. Just gone up this week, another 30p each day. Not been very lucky these days but had a good win on football yesterday. Keep having bad luck with football, and two weeks ago and decided to give the form a good study and it paid off yesterday but I was very lucky, I had Bristol R, Reading, Cheltenham and Stirling in 4 trebles and 4 fold. Cheltenham losing 2 nil at half time but came back, then Reading scored with a penalty in the 94th min. cheap checking that horse but not entered yet. Soon be Cheltenham. had one ante post forgotten its name.

Fancied Waterford Whispers but Punchestown is cancelled in respect of Michael 0 `Sullivan. L 15 -Bravo Zulu 1.52 Ling -Monmoth 2.22 Ling -Raintown 3.52 ling -Come On John 4.22 Ling.

Glad to hear you are recovering but I fear Spring is a long way off.

I think you might have gone down the wrong path today one last/ two pulled up/ two seconds. I will wait now for Saturday as i don`t want to explore different avenues or stick a pin in the racecard for the sake of a bet. John.
MR T,
You are welcome to state your opinion as we have a horse with Paul i will stick with him and not desert , as what can happen when you don`t back them they win .Had 2 n/rs also 2 seconds in a small bet. There not miles away from winning. Good Luck Today with yours. John.

Can I just say, and I am not having a go at you but I do not understand your following of P nicholl’s horses when you admitted on Saturday that his horses were not hitting form. Surely it is better to wait while they show some form before putting your money on them. AsI say, I am not having a go as we all follow different paths when selecting our horses.
MR T,
You got to be in it to win it,Fortune favours the brave. As you can`t win or lose as you don`t bet on horses ,it baffles me what the excitement is in that?. I presume you mean many big races coming up is the Cheltenham four day event , which is dominated by the irish horses in (March) . Nicholls has not got the ammunition for that meeting as the stats show in the past years. As previous posted i have backed `Grey Dawning` ( Gold Cup) E/W ( Skelton`s)
Today`s Lucky 15 win best odds Sorceluer 9/4 -1.30 Exeter -Regents Stroll 2.30 Exeter 5/6 – Captain Bellamy 13/8 1.50 Chep – Largy Poet 2.50 Chep- 9/2 . John.
John,
As you tell me, you win some & you lose some. Nicholl’s horses will come good at some time soon . There are too many big races coming up for him to miss out on, same with the Skelton’s horses
I have no selections for Sunday.
MR T,
Managed only one winner and some placed, the Nicholls horses are not hitting form for whatever reason, i don`t think he knows either. Just have to wait and see what develops. John.

M r T,
I see you have latched on to the Nicholls horses today but unfortunetly no luck for you. Forgive my ignorance, can you enlighten me what connection to horse racing you have as you are not a punter or owner?. I am a punter also shares in horses, with out owners or bookmakers there would be no racing. I put money back into the racing because i enjoy the sport and not a take out merchant of the racing game. I did tell you a while back there was something in Nicholl`s yard but i guess you did not read it. Bloggers are not phsics but nonsense writers. John.
MR T,
Well done you got a winner,the Skelton boy`s usually have there horses tuned up ,they want to win. Saturday`s look good , i will have a look at Paul Nicholls video on Friday night concerning his horse`s chances for Saturdays meetings and his stable details as he was flooded in January and the horses welfare. It is best to hear from the mechanic rather then the oil rag. John.

MR T,
Moon over Miami 4/1 -7.30pm Kempton today. No interested in daily blogger`s , i would rather hear the vibes from the trainers yard ,not always right but the saying goes ,i want to listen to the organ grinder not the monkey even though everyone is entitled to there opinion and everyone has a choice who they listen too. I have my own system ,if you look back over my posts during the years my ante-post horses have not done bad E/W. bets. Good Luck. John.
Mr T,
Paitence is a virtue, if you look back at my previous post`s you will know i am in the Nicholls /Skelton/ Beckett`s camps. for backing horses and follow them as a hobby over the years on this web page. Courageous Strike has arrived at P. Nicholl`s stable last week , will be cantering this week. Paul Nicholl`s is a 14 time champion trainer so anyone that knows about horses , it is a no brainer following him. John.
John,
My selection today was a non runner. i have nothing for Wednesday.
I receive emails from a daily blogger who looks at trainers & jockeys before they run into form. His work sometimes goes back five years to ensure that what he says is not a one off for that year. Anyway, he today mentioned your trainer Paul Nicholls & he advises that all Nicholl’s hurdlers should be looked at from February to end of season. He particularly says that handicaps are better than non handicaps as you can sometimes get a bigger price. Today he had one in a handicap which finished fourth & five in non handicaps albeit four in the same race which he won with the stable jockey up. The fifth horse also won at odds on . Just something I thought you might be interested in.
MR T,
Maybe it was a rich mans illness gout in Henry V111s time but unfortunetly it has spread to the ordinary poor people like myself as all food is affordable to everyone , maybe chemicals in food also injected water on frozen food ,sprayed vegetables, you can`t get away from it.. which i guess leads to cancer`s. Back to the horses about time you got a winner?. Good luck today. John.
John,
Just one for Tuesday. Benassi. 15.10 Market Rasen.
You know what they say about Gout, it is a rich mans illness.
MR T,
Hamsiyann was disappointing , he was stepped up in distance, looked like he did not stay. There is a glimmer of hope for the Nicholls horses coming back to form on the Musselburgh runnings today , so hopefully onwards & upwards. Any day now soon Courageous Strike should arrive at P. Nicholls stable. John.
MR T,
Got up late due to my foot. Found this one Hamsiyann 3.00 Musselburgh 15/8 to win best odds. John.
John,

John,
I am due more than one winner but you are correct, my tips have been terrible this week. I have one selection for Saturday.
Quandary. 18.55 Newcastle.
Are you sure you have not got gout in your foot? You need to have it checked by your GP. There was a time when the GP would come out to your house but those days have gone. Anyway good luck with your foot problem & your selections if you put any up.
MR T,
I have really been ill this week (wednesday /Thursday) unbearable pains in my left foot and could not walk,the paramedic came out & got tablets to kill the pain not good and it still hurts.I have some crutches to get about on. I think the bookie would be pleased with your tips this week, he would be smiling like a chesire cat. I will try to have a bet Saturday if the pain don`t interfere with my concretation. You are due a winner soon?. John.

Spotted the Skelton boys had one runner last race Big Cadillac had £5 win at 5/2 it returned 9/2 best odds my luck turned a corner.

It is cheaper to venture abroad with flights 5 star hotel then holiday in the UK also sunshine guarnteed and a healthy suntan. I know we live in a virtual World. I always thought you were from Yorkshire from your previous posts?. But you say you lived down south?. John.
John,
Two for Monday.
Dance in The Storm. 17.30 Wolverhampton.
National Health. 20.00 Wolverhampton.
Nothing wrong with Blackpool. Have you been.
I used to work and live in Kent for a couple of years and Margate and Folkestone were not very good. Dymchurch was alright. We have a problem my wife and I as I will not fly and she will not go on a cruise. We tend to holiday in the UK. We once owned a static caravan in Silverdale but the ground fees got too dear.
MR T,
Soon be Cheltenham that`s a minefield sorting the winners if your lucky with a lot of horses under the radar. You never replied where you holiday?. Hope it`s not Blackpool. John.
John,
I only managed fourth with my selection so a bad day all round. I have nothing for Sunday
MR T,

MR T,
Your post the 22nd January ( I understand Turkey is very nice)
Your post 23rd January ( As for Turkey i am afraid i would not want to go there for love or money). I have not misread the posts , i think you are contradicting yourself with the statements . I speak as i find. Anyway where do you go on holiday as a matter of conversation?. Good Luck with Saturday`s tip. John.
John,
I think you have misread my post of the 22nd. I stated that I understood it was a nice place not that I had been , it was what people like yourself speak of the country.
For Saturday I have just the one runner.
Resplendent Grey. 12.40pm Cheltenham.
Best of luck with your L15 selections.
MR T,
All uk racing on today only Ireland meeting off Dundalk. Fingers crossed for Saturday meeting`s been on. Concerning holiday`s what puzzled me was on your post 22nd Jan you said Turkey was very nice on your next post you said you would not want to go there for love or money most strange?. I holiday there for the last 12 years on the Turkish Riveria west Turkey, delightful place. 3.2 million from UK visit Turkey every year for holiday`s. It is a beautiful country good food nice friendly people also sunshine everyday, but i guess you can`t please everyone. Where do you holiday?. John.
John,
Thanks. Yes a much better effort today, a pity I don’t back horses these days.As for Turkey I am afraid I would not want to go there for love nor money.
I have no selections for Friday if racing goes ahead if view of the strong winds which are forecast.
MR T,
Good efford -1 winner 7/1 -1 n/r -2 -2nds. Did you have them backed?. When i put mine up i have them backed ,nothing more annoying if they win and not backed.You mentioned holiday`s a lot of trainers have had there holiday`s this month abroad including P Nicholls. I booked my holidays before Christmas for June 2025 where the temp is 31-32 degrees not to hot abroad, definetly don`t like the cold weather. I noticed you mentioned Turkey do you go there?. Donny-Cheltenham racing ,Will have a tickle Saturday. John.
John,
I will put up four for Thursday.
Space Voyage .15.40pm Huntingdon
Jubilant .1.55pm Huntingdon
Lerwick. 19.00pm Southwell
Addosh. 20.30pm Southwell.
I see you may soon get a run into your horse. Keep us informed when it runs. You must need a holiday, I understand Turkey is very nice.
MR T,
Jane Allison who has been pre-training Courageous Strike says he is in good form and will be heading into training with Paul Nicholls next week, so something positive. Do hate this weather now have a sore throat ,roll on the spring & Cheltenham Races. John.
John,
I had the original three shots for Covid way back when. Since then I have not had any. I sometimes think it can be better to catch it & build an immunity to it but that has not worked this time. I will blame the wife who caught it over Christmas & passed it on. I ha ve not had the flu jab either, so I think my Doctor considers me a n awkward patient.
The horse I was looking at for Tuesday is still entered but I will not be putting it up as it’s form is not good enough. I have nothing for Monday.
MR T,
One winner 100/30 – one third 7/2- one fell -one lost. today. I will leave it now until next Saturday as my profit from bluestocking October 24 is dwindling away slowly. Did you have your covid injections also flu jab?. I had mine a while back as you could not leave the country with out it, also they are free a no brainer. John.
MR T,
I hope you recover soon from the COVID. I had all the jabs for that as i was going abroad some time ago,so been lucky not to catch it so far.
Today`s L15 win -best odds
Etalon 4/1-1.55 Windsor . – Gwennie May Boy 6/1 2.30 Windsor. -Protektrot 5/2 3.05 Windsor. Supreme Malinas 9/4 Windsor 4.10. John.
John,
As you say, a little unlucky with your bets today. I am struggling with the after effects of Covid, also struggling picking a winner. I may have one for Tuesday but like Nicholls my trainers I follow are on a backward run I shall have to find a few more to follow.
,
MR T,
2, winners one in each l15 – 10/30 -13/2
2 seconds 14/1 -13/2

MR T,
The farrier has done Richhill`s feet ,he is fine and turned out ,enjoying his retirement. Courageous Strike is in good form ,wont be long before he heads off to P. Nicholls yard. All the horses at the Nicholls yard have had flu-jabs. Glad i had mine last October,that is something you don`t want to get. John.
John,
One for Wednesday.
James Jet 16.08pm Newbury.
MR T,
So sorry to hear your ill with covid. The reason i have not posted ,i was blocked with a Malware fireball from getting on this site,not sure if i can get on now. Been back to the hospital on the 7th January for wound inspection, finger still swollen surgeon says six months to fully heal & the skin cancer is gone. will continue with the horses, if getting back on site okay. John.
John,
Apologies for my lack of writings on the blog but I have had Covid since New Year & still trying to catch up on the form book. I trust you are well & waiting for some improvement to the weather before posting & as you state your trainer is not firing with his horses.
I have nothing for Sunday.
MR T,
Only managed one winner, a dismal display on my behalf seven losers. If they run to the form that they are capable, i guess there would be no bookies left to pay out. Nicholls horses are not fireing, there is something in the stable, Nichollls said it himself. I will watch them for the present time. John.
Happy New Year to Everyone.

John,
Well 3rd is better than the corner post i suppose.
One selection for Monday.
Montgomery. 15.10pm Haydock.

I should have mentioned that my only concern with my selection for Sunday is the jockey who is only a conditional rider but he has ridden a few winners.

John,
I have no selections for Saturday.
John,
I am still here. I check in each day but coming up to Christmas things are a bit hectic in our household and racing has to take a step back otherwise I would have the wife on my case and that is not recommended. I am glad to see your finger is responding well to treatment. I suppose it will take time for it to regain full function.
I have one selection for tomorrow
Come On John 2.17pm Southwell.
Mr T,
Courageous Strike is working well also put weight on, he is still at Equi-Prep in pre-training until he heads to P Nicholls stables . No tips from you this week are you studying the bible (the racing Post) race cards. I will start looking Thursday for Saturday`s bets at Ascot/Haydock. Good Luck. John.
MR T,
Got a bit rusty ,no wins today. My finger is getting better ,the swelling is going down also less pain, it effects your ability to study when in pain, anyway no excuses for picking losers. I will wait until next Saturday and have a look at Ascot card. Good Luck. John.
MR T,
Good luck with your tip. Had my Birthday present from the bookmaker `Bluestocking`s win 12/1. Might find it difficult to get a repeat of last years Christmas box £325.23p. In November.

Hi Colin,
I remember the late Max Bygraves would say ,` i wanna tell ya a story `. If you hear any more betting stories about the horse John Storey ignore them, the only people that will welcome that bet is the bookies and they will be laughing like a chesire cat, when they see that bet. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Looked at the Punchestown race 2.50 Tuesday. I think you should be wary backing John Storey, whatever the price as he is six years old and not won a race, as they get older it is rare they improve. only thing to recommend he is by Yeats a smart flat horse. Imight be eating my words at3.00pm Tueday, but i doubt it.Good Luck anyway. John.
Hiya, Mr T and John, see if there’s any money in the 2.50 at punchestown tomorrow for John Storey. I’m told it was fancied last time but unseated. That’s all I know. It was only 8/1 last time after being any price in all previous races.
John,
Same here. I will leave alone but if I see something I will post it.
MR T,
2 winners in win l15 -10/11-4/1 one n/r as Wolves cancelled due wind. Had 2 placed e/w l15 12/1-11/1 . Made small frofit, happy with that. Will leave it now for a while until weather settles. John.

Colin,
Thanks. I hope the right jockey is on board even though he is no longer stable jockey.
John and Mr T, my irish contact gave it to me. He’s usually good with this sort of info.
Hi Colin,
Old age is a sentence for a crime you havent commited so they say. My finger is very sore ,seeing the nurse Wednesday for wound inspection & new dressing, using that hand you tend to knock it often. Thank you for giving me a kind mention. My legs are a lot better & feet not hurting, always something. I backed Grey Dawning E/w for the Gold Cup (CheltenhamMarch) at 16/1 he is been trained for the Gold Cup. I will watch out for your tip thanks. Also kind regards to MR T. John.
Colin,
Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the tip, I will keep my eye on this one I notice it has won a 3mile PTP in Ireland on heavy going so I wondered if it might need this going to bring out the bet in him?
John,
I have no selections for Tuesday.
Hi John, like Mr T, I was very sorry to read about for finger troubles. I hope your problem gets back to near normal as soon as possible. I’m afraid it’s the same old story, there is no prizes for getting old and time waits for no one. Getting back to racing, I have one for you both to wait for. It must be 3 mile. It has only done 3 two mile races and a two and half. It needs 3 mile and might get it next time. It’s called Gillespie Road.
John,
Sorry to hear about your finger. Hope you recover soon. I think you also mentioned some time ago that you also have foot problems. Look after yourself.
I have no selections on Monday.
Mr T,
No luck Saturday just one winner, i will leave it now until next Saturday as i am in constant pain in my little finger on writing hand as i had part of my finger amputated (skin Cancer) last Tuesday , i use painkillers but it still hurts hopefully it will go soon and be back to normal soon. John.

John,
No idea why my post yesterday did not show on the blog but I had no selections . I also have no selections for Wednesday.
MR T,
Does lightining strike twice?. I think not was hoping for a repeat of last year Christmas box win from the bookie Saturday but managed only one win. The Shelton`s had nice horses out at Haydock but ran a bit flat & Nicholls had one winner , i think the detorating ground conditions played a part in that. The conditions are not that good today (Exeter) Abondened. I will leave it for a while. John.
John,
I have no selections for Sunday or Monday. Will struggle for selections as there is no A/W racing for the rest of the month & I leave N/H to yourself as I have little interest in it.
MR T,
I hope you have better luck with your tips past & present. No doubt you will inform us when you have a winner. Bit late this morning been to Betfred shop near Guildford they do slightly better deals L15-L31 a bonus if they all win. Similar bet to this day one year ago ,three of the same runners are going today. L31 Toquet 13/2 -12.25 Ascot – Pin d`orhy ascot 1.30 2/5 – Blueking d` oroux 2.45 ascot 4/1 -Sans Bruit 3.20 ascot 7/2 -Bravemansgame Hay 3.05 11/1 win Lucky 31. – Lucky 15 Country File 12.08 Hay 5/2 -Home Free Hay 12.40 6/4 – Puntal Del Este 1.15 hay 15/2 – Catch Him Derry 2.30 hay 4/1. Win Lucky 15. Don`t know if lightining will strike twice on the L31 as had 4 winners last year and a 2nd a nice Christmas Box. You got to be in it to win it. Got best odds Ascot/ Haydock. John.
John,
I have no selections for Saturday as the weather will play a big part tomorrow. It is forecast to rain up here near Haydock all day tomorrow. Best of luck with your selections . I will check in the morning as to your selections
John,

Evocative Spark 18.15pm Newcastle
MR T,
Unfortunetly a lot of N/H racehorses get injured which you don`t hear about. Ihad placed prize money also share of win money when Richhill won & backed him when he won to cover share cost so he did not owe me anything, so that was lucky enough for me. Paid for my share in Coureageous Strike ,two weeks ago when i had three winners in the l31-11/10-4/1- 14/1. so win lose or draw i am ahead with the horse for next year. so not so unlucky . Did have one horse that was out for a year injured, but as i said previousely the shares are peanuts. The shares in horses with the Owners make a lot of shareholders happy as a hobbyalso go to the races to watch there horse run. Like the Lotto you got to be in it to win it simple. John.
John,
I have no selections for Thursday. I hope you have better luck with your purchase than you have had in the past. No doubt you will inform us of its progress during the season.
John,
No selections for Wednesday.
Hi MR T,
Coureageous Strike is now on the horse walker & will be doing steady work for a couple of weeks until plans to go to the Didcheat stables ( P Nicholls). He was fresh when he arrived from the sales 30th October to Equi-Prep. He has a nice profile winning twice on flat and his last best efford 2nd in a group race, so he should take to the hurdles okay we hope & might have a nice horse, with a bit of luck. John.
John,
No luck with todays selections and I have none for Tuesday.

I have put horses up on this page that were likely improvers in the past that have won many races EG -Youknowwhatimeanharry a money spinner -Stratavarius to name a couple. Keep Smiling. John.
John
That’s great, well done. Hope you keep the forum updated on the progress of your clubs latest recruit. Mine were nowhere , although the jockey commented that his mount , My Mate Beattie ,hung right throughout the race.

As Richhill has retired , i anticpated buying a small share in (Courageous Strike) who will be sent to P Nicholls the end of the month for hurdle training and will be ready in the New Year all been well he is a 3yr old gelding from Ireland. The owners group also have Stage Star with P Nicholls. John.
John,
I have just the one selection for tomorrow.
My Mate Beattie 12.50pm Doncaster.
For a bit of fun I will put up my three against the field in the 15.45pm Doncaster. Insanity, Valvano, Minstral Knight.
Best of luck with your selections. Enjoy the weekend.
John,
One more win today & my thoughts on the 8.30pm at Chelmsford were right as in the end the horse ended up as second fav. so would have been a no bet.
I have no selections for tomorrow so will look at Saturdays cards tomorrow.
John,
Looking at the markets the horseI mentioned would need to be fav. is trading as fav. or jt fav.You can get 5.33 on the tote or 4.6 on Betfair. I don’t know know what price it is with PP. The horse is Expensive Queen . 20.30 at Chelmsford
. I would hang on to see if it goes clear fav. but if you like the bigger price maybe take a chance now.
John,
Thanks, two winners makes a change, pity about the prices but as they say a winner is a winner. I have one for tomorrow and maybe one at the night meeting at Chelmsford.
The selection is Keen Interest 14.10pm Newcastle.
The possible other horse needs to start Fav. which at the moment it is not. I will check tomorrow and will post if it is fav.
Well done MR T,
Your logic was spot on from Devon to Musselborough a winner also another winner, a double for you on the day. Good Luck. John.
John,
one placed today. I have two for tomorrow.
Master Technician 13.05pm Musselburgh. (Surely no trainer sends 1 horse up from Devon to Scotland)
Molten Sea . 15.42pm Musselburgh.
John,
Expected better than fifth today. One for Tuesday.
Pat’s Battalion . 15.09 Redcar.
John,
Just one selection for Monday.
Mamma Maria 15.25pm Wolverhampton.
Enjoy your week away from tipping.
Mr T,
Drew a blank 4 losers at Carlisle,you win some& you lose some so leaving it alone for a while until the next weekend. John.
Mr T
My 2 winners lost a little on the L15, i guess it could have been worse. I will give the Skelton`s team`s 4 horses Sunday Carlisle a go L15. Good Luck. John.
John,
Two placed for myself. I think you had two winners but would not have thought they would be very profitable. I have no selections for tomorrow but enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Good Morning MR T,
L15 Win – Kateira 11/10 -Bravemansgame 4/5 -Williethebuilder 11/8 (Wetherby) Smoken 13/8 – Newmarket 2.50. Best odds. Good Luck with your tips.

John,
Two speculative selections for Friday.
Concert Boy 18.45pm Newcastle
Ataser 15.27pm Newmarket.
Mr T,
Yes better result yesterday 2 wins 4/1-9/4 the last beaten shd in photo 15/8 but happy. i do the l15 small outlay to win big. I do study to find a ante post single bet every now &then at a decent price `eg` Bluestocking 12/1 recently , with the l15 you can lose small ammounts ,difficult to get 4 winners in but it does happen. Thats me done until Saturday. Good Luck with your tip for today.john.
John,
Good result for you today. You should have had a decent return on that. I do not give multiple bet selections, only singles.
I have just the one for Thursday, Triggerman 20.15pm Southwell.
MR T,
Only one winner today. Four for Wednesday The Skelton`s horses L15 at Newton Abbott,give them a go, win or lose ,my next bets will be next Saturday. Good Luck. John.
John,
I have family visiting overnight from Cumbria so am not able to study the cards properly but a quick glance would suggest that I will have no selections for Wednesday.
MR T,
Done the L31 first 5 at Chepstow The Skelton team in racecard sequence, hope they go well. John.
John,
We both seemed to do well today. I was glad that my Fav. jockey won for your fav. Flat trainer as I think it was his first ride for the stable. I have nothing for tomorrow but good luck with your bets when you decide which ones to put up.
MR T,
You had two nice winners Did you back them?. I had 3 winners needed 4 winners for a profit in the l31 . The shelton team are at Chepstow Tuesday, 6 runners , i am contemplation doing them 4 or 5 of them, but will wait until morning to decide what to do as they will be short prices again. Good Luck with your tips. John.
MR T,
Stage Star blew up not 100 per cent like most oh the Niicholls horses need the run. The Skelton boy`s horses are forward & are at Ayr today ,i am on the Lucky 31 there five entries ,so hope they go well. Best of Luck also Mr T with your tips. John.
John,
I have three for Monday.
Native Instinct 13.25pm Redcar
Tazima 15.05 Redcar (Your trainer, my fav jockey)
Music History 18.30pm Southwell
MR T,
Good result you had i winner ,1 non runner, better then my averages from 8 horses, 1 winner. The owners group horse Stage Star is entered Aintree Sunday, he has had a lot of work recently so should be ready but a lot of the Nicholls horses have needed the run in deep ground. Good Luck. John.
John,
1 winner & 1 non Runner today. I think you had 2 placed in your L15e/w & 1 winner in your L15win bet. As it is all N/H racing tomorrow, I will leave that to yourself. Back tomorrow night. Enjoy what is left of the weekend.
MR T,
Will give it a go again to see if it accepts post. Win L15 Artic Voyage, 1.30 Don-7/2 – Priapos 13/2 New 1.25/ – Saquara Sands 2.00 Newbury / Thats Amore 6/4 -4-19 New.

The Good Biscuit 16.55 Doncaster
John,
Looks like we both drew a blank today.I have no selections for tomorrow.
Colin,
Nice to see you still look in now & again. I only ask about John Norton as I go off Racing Post trainers entries & if I put a search on Google it shows his age as 21? which I thought that maybe his dad had passed on the trainers role to his son, obviously I am mistaken.Sad to hear about Steve Norton, another great Yorkshire trainer gone. Please pass on my condolences to John. Hope to hear from you in the future.
Mr T, no I’ve never been a footballer. If John you are talking about is the trainer. well he’s in his 50s maybe early sixties. You may remember Steve Norton, who had some very good horses about 30 years ago, well he was John Norton’s uncle. I say was because John told me on Monday that he had just died. He has been in a home for years, didn’t know anybody and died weighing about 4 stone. Sad i’nt it. If he’d been a dog he would have been put down years ago. Catch up with you and John sometime.
MR T,
No luck today, missed the 20/1 shot that won for Beckett, that`s the way it goes, leave it now start looking tomorrow for Saturday`s cards. john.
MR T,
As the Beckett team are in good form , gone for his 4 in the L15 at Newmarket today Anniversary 10/11 – Forever Blue 12/1 – To Don Juan 7/1 -and Megalithic 17/2 best odds. John.
Mr T,
The Joy of backing with Paddy Power internet &shops is best odds on all races UK-Ireland, so if the price goes out you get that price. I normally like to get on early ,just after 8am Saturday`s for best odds. Gnomon shortened up at post time and bolted in. Well done with your winner good price. Good luck for Wednesday. John.
John,
Well done with your tip,especially as you backed it at 9/2 & not sp.
I had two losers and one winner but my consolation was the winner compensated for the two losers, price wise. I have one selection for tomorrow, Mersea Island 14.55pm Newmarket.
MR T,
Gnomon today at Exeter 5.33pm , was entered at Chelmsford Saturday 6.30pm. I am on at 9/2 , E/W chance. John

MR T,
Managed two thurds in E/W l 15 and a 2nd in the free bet Paddy Power at 6/1, no winners today, a day for the bookie. I will watch them for a while mainly the N/H meetings that are coming up soon. John.
MR T,
My free £2 bet with Paddy Power is Facteur Cheval at 6/1 £1 E/W Ascot 3.15. What bookie are you with?. Good Luck with yours today. John.
John,
I was expecting more from my selections today. Fortomorrow I have another two, both at Catterick. Quantum Leap pm14.42, Zainabb 16.05pm. Best of luck with your l15.
Hi MR T,
They say variety is the spice of life,can`t say the same about Saturday`s races. Had Frankie Dettori last year at Ascot Trawlerman 11/1- Kinross beaten in photo – King of steel won at 9/2 best odd prices. Going to give Kinross 13/2 -Trawlerman 11/2 Doha 10/1 ( Ascot) and Came from nowwhere 11/2 at Stratford 3.30. I have my bet on E/W L15 now. Don`t know what bookie you bet with ?. Paddy Power are giving a free £2 bet Saturday if you are with them internet. I will use that free bet Saturday. Good Luck. John.
John
Two selections for Friday,Talismans Time, 15.02pm Redcar. Kilteel,18.30pm Newcastle.
John,
I have no selections for Thursday.
Mr T,
I think you have to make sure your name/e-mail/website. is filled in below comments or comment wont post. Saturday will be my next betting day, good racing Champions day, i think the ground will be heavy, it is a matter of sifting through the ones that like soft going. will start looking Thursday for Saturday. Good Luck. John.
John,
I have no idea why my message was not posted last night but I had no selections to put forward which is the same fir tomorrow.
Colin,
Nice to hear from you again. At first I wondered if you ever played professional football but the ex player I was thinking of is a little younger than yourself going off a post you put up some time ago. Am I right in thinking that John is only 21 yo or is he the son . As John mentioned, it is nice to hear you visiting a former employee. I know that feeling well after my late mother & mother in law both succumbed to dementia.
John, Once again I have no selections for tomorrow. I am not a NH man & usually only do AW during the winter.
I read your statement Colin, i think it is good of you to visit the lady that is ill, as generally no one cares about anyone. As the horses go a trainer will tell you your horse is the best thing since sliced bread all though he or she has never won a race, also every excuse under the sun ,too keep the monthly training fees coming in until the owner gets fed up with it ,with a lot of his cash gone down the drain,then he will bale out. Top trainers that get rid of there horses to smaller trainers usually two reasons the horse no good or been injured. Top trainers don`t want slow horses in there yard that can`t win. Also the saying you only get what you pay for. Been there done that got the T-shirt, so i know what goes on, getting slow horses to win is like trying to get a square peg in a round hole, it wont happen, but nothing stopping you trying for those with plenty of money to waste. John.
MR T,
Was going to target the Nicholls horses at Chepstow but changed my mind as luck has it, his horses need watching for a while before they hit form. Had winner Starinthereeyes 9/2 win l15. E/W l15 had 3 placed – Peace Man 3rd 20/1 – Valvano 3rd 13/2- Funny Story 3rd 13/2 best odds . Them three placed got me out of trouble and a small profit. Bit of luck. Will start looking at the N/h races soon as the autumn season is kicking in. Good Luck. John.
John,
I won’t talk about my selections but well done with yours I have nothing for tomorrow.
Mr T, no I don’t have any interest in any horse. A woman who worked for me for about 30 years now has dementia and is in a home near Huddersfield. She doesn’t even know me now but I go and see her every fortnight. On my way home I call in John’s yard. He’s only small with cheap horses that are difficult to win with, but any time he has a runner, he will always give me a couple of badges if I want to go. He’s got a horse called Lazybones [ came from Elliots]. He thinks that’s ok. Don’t tell John, but he thinks he’ll get a race out of Red Hatter next years. It needs to strengthen up a bit. That’s why he has put it away till next year..
MR T,
Best odds after 8.00 am -Win L15 – Bolo Neighs ( York 1.30) 15/8– Valiant (york 3.15) 5/2 — Starsinthereeyes (New 1.50) 3/1 –Stanhope Gardens ( New 2.25) 5/1. / E/W l 15– Peace Man (1.15 New) 9/1 — Sea Of Sands (New 3.40) – Funny Story ( New 4.50 ) 13/2 — Valvano ( York 2.05). Total 8 horses. Two of yours & two of mine clash in same races, hope one of us has the winners. Good Luck. John.
John,
Just two selections for tomorrow. 16.50pm Newmarket. Coppull Hall Lane.Premiere Ligne 15.40pm Newmarket. Best of luck with yours when you post them.
Hi Colin,
Sadly what i say about the Red Hatter is true not been rude, i guess in all sports the aim is to win. Then there is a saying flogging a dead horse, you have to call a spade a spade. Most trainers will not run a horse on the racecource that does not do the stopwatch times on gallops that is required to win a race it is to protect there reputation as a trainer. Red Hatter should be retired as he can`t win his form tells everyone that, and if the owners have money to waste thats up to them. He would be a horse i woul`d not bet on. I live in the real World Colin. My opinion John.
Colin,
Do you have interests in Red Hatter? Or do you have any interests in any other horses?
John,
I have no selections for tomorrow.
John, no need for any more witty remarks about Red Hatter for the time being. He is being rested until next year’s turf season.
MR T,
Had no internet from the 7th Oct as i have a new contract with Virgin , back on now this morning. Collected my winnings yesterday at Ladbrokes shop Woking £164.00 from `Bluestocking` win, delighted. I invest small ammounts to win large ammounts, that is the theory i put in to practise. Will study now until Saturday for the next bets. Good Luck. John.
John,
I was going to put up E Bethells sole runner at Southwell tomorrow with stable jockey CR riding his only mount of the day. However, I do have an issue with his 2yo’s on their first run as they are hit and miss so I will give it a miss and wait till Friday.
John,
Again I cannot find a selection to put forward so will wait for Thursdays racing.
John,
Well their is a rarity, A winner. However. I will not get carried away by it. I have nothing for tomorrow so will move on to Wednesday.
John,
Well done on your tips for today and no I do not back in the big races, I tend to leave that to you experts. I have a couple for tomorrow, Sea The Dream 15.02 pm at Pontefract, ( I think that is Colin’s home track) and Son of Wind 16.55pm Wolverhampton.
Hi Mr T.
Bluestocking was the one i wanted e/w at 12/1, Kinross got 2nd but not worried about that. Been hitting the crossbar with the L15 and losing small ammounts recently, it is hard to get them to click. But ahead now, so leaving it alone until next Saturday. Hope you backed Bluestocking?. well backed today from 10/1 to 5/1 and won nicely. John.
Hi MR T,
Lost a little today, so fingers crossed for Paris Sunday `Bluestocking`, i have now backed my old favourite `Kinross` as well. French racing coverage ITV3 Sunday quality racing. John.
John,
Not much luck on the l15 winners but a lot better on the ew l15
Hi Mr T,
Todays horses- win L15 Cape Breton 7/4 N/m 3.50 – Queen of Mougins 7/2-4.10 Ascot – Seraph Gabriel- 7/4 -1.35 Redcar – Greys Monument 11/10- Redcar 3.55. Beast Odds. E/W L15 – La Pasionaria 14/1 1.30 N/M – Salt Bay -13/2 -2.25 Ascot – Quirat 9/2- 3.35 Ascot – Roost 13/2 -8.00 pm Wolves. Best Odds. Hope you make a speedy recovery soon. I am going to the Doctors Surgery to see the nurse this morning for Flu Jab also C-O-V-I-D jab one in each arm, crazy not too as they are free. Since my holiday in June i have had chest infections on &off, Sunday done ante-post Bluestocking at 12/1 E/W (Ladbrokes) for Arc De Triomphe 3.20 Paris, So watch it on TV. Get well soon. Best of Luck. John.
John,
As I am not feeling very well & because I have not studied Saturdays Cards I will not be posting until Monday. I will follow any selection you post though.
MR T,
As it is my Birthday today, had a little flutter on Bluestocking for the Arc De Triomphe Sunday 3.00pm at 12/1 Ladbrokes E/W , so will leave any other horse betting until Saturday. John.
Mr T,
Quite agree until certain horses get the ground they need (soft going) . Very wet down this end. John.
John,
Until the weather improves I will leave selections alone.
John,
Just one for tomorrow.Think of a Name 14.45pm Windsor
John,
I have nothing for tomorrow after another blank day today. will see what next week brings. Enjoy what is left of the weekend.
MR T,
I had no luck one placed one non runner E/W l15 also one winner ,one non runner in win l15, that wont balance the books?. So will watch them for a while next week. Good Luck. John.
Good Morning MR T, nice sunny morning. My bets Win L15 – Korea 8/13 Listowel 2.15pm – Listentoyourheart 2/7 M/R 2.53 -Got Grey 9/4 M/R – Jet Plane 5/2 M/R. E/W L15 -Royal Equeery 1.15 Newmarket 11/1 – Whiskey Pete 11/4 Haydock- Reyevka 2.25 Newmarket 8/1 – Poniros 3.40 Newmarket 17/2. 8 horses in total. William hill seem better prices ante -post , but no best odds on l15s only single bets, so swings& roundabouts . PP pay best odds l15s UK & ireland. Went to William Hill this morning, They paid me 11/4 on Kinross, i thought it was 5/2 as written on slip but he said it should have been 11/4 so no complaints. Good Luck with yours. John.
John,
Just the one for tomorrow. Shining Pearl 13.15pm Newmarket. Will watch yours once you put them up in the morning.
Hi MR T,
popping into town Saturday morning William Hill to collect the ( Kinross) winnings. So put my bets on there (l15s) also see what deals they do on l15s Bonuses etc . So put my tips up later in morning as there is likely more non runners due to ground conditions Saturday. Good luck with yours for Saturday. John.
John,
.Rained off today and no selection for Friday so will move on to Saturday tomorrow.
John,
Another blank day. I keep saying to myself to give it a rest for a few days then I see one that has a chance like Kirkdale 15.45pm at Pontefract.
John,
Another bad day. On to Wednesday, Saytarr 14.10pm Redcar. Caledonian 14.45pm Redcar.
MR T,
Wont be doing any horses until Saturday as it looks like good quality racing, but i doubt if it will make picking the winners any easier. I noticed early afternoon today the Red Hatter was backed across the boards with all the big firms into 33/1, fifteen minutes to post time Paddy Power went 200/1, so someone was spreading bookie nonsense about. Red Hatter is out of the handicap in class 6 races , so when he runs keep your money in your pocket, he wont win a race as long as he has a hole in his A – – e. living in the real world. John.
Red Hatter wont win. Had stomach ulsers and not firing 100% yet.
John,
Two placed and two unplaced today. I was going to follow you with no selections tomorrow until I spotted Magical Merlin in the 17.02pm at Beverley.
MR T,
Wont be backing any horses Tuesday ,can`t see anything i fancy. I see the Red Hatter is out at Newcastle 4.45pm, he is fitted with a hood first time,maybe a strong set of glasses to keep him straight and find the winning post also a rocket tied to his tail, to enchance a winning chance. GOOOOOOOOOOO-AANNNNNNNNNNNNNN my son.
Evening John,
Like yourself, we have had rain most of the afternoon and I can see we have it most of the day tomorrow. I have a few for tomorrow, Minstrel Knight. 15.33pm Hamilton. Gundogan 16.43pm Hamilton. Gentle Ellen 17.15pm Hamilton.
Hi Mr T,
Made No profit but not lost a lot yesterday.It has been rain all night here & today. So ground conditions will change, so i will watch the horses for a while before i decide what to back this week onwards. Enjoy the Weekend. Good Luck. John.
John,
Mixed fortunes for both of us today, I made it one winner in each of your lucky 15 while I had one winner in my selections. I have nothing for tomorrow so on to a new week on Monday. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Morning MR T,
E/W L15 – County Mayo 13/2 -2.51 G/P -Rubies Are Red 4.01 G/P 14/1 – Town And Country 3.00 Ayr 15/2 -Mostabishr 3.35 Ayr. -L15 Win Newbury 5.25 Artic Voyage 100/30 -Sea to Sky 1.35 Nemarket 10/11 – Shemozzle 9/2 Newmarket 2.10 – Shadow of Light -3.15 Newbury 7/4. Best Odds Mostabshir 8/1. 8 horses. John.
Hi MR T.
I guess you put up Friday`s tips in good faith, but thats the way it goes, there is many disappointments in racing, move on to saturday. I see you tipped Mr King, i had a tip for him when he won Ireland and tipped it up on this page a while back, he has a UK trainer now. I will put up my two L15s Saturday after 8 am (best odds) this page. Best of luck with yours Saturday. John.
John, I am ashamed to admit putting those horses up for selections. I have watched the replays and neither horse got into their race. We move on to tomorrow. Mr King 13.15 Ayr. Kings Merchant 2.25pm Ayr. Sky Majesty 3.00pm Ayr. American Affair 3.35Ayr. Mereside Diva 16.40pm Ayr.
MR T,
Not backing any horses until Saturday. The Skelton`s have a few with favourites chances at Newton Abbot. I can understand your logic with the jockey coming south . i start studing Thursday for Saturday , as i like it as a hobby also a bet as well. Good Luck Friday. John.
John,
I thought you would have put up the Skelton four for tomorrow at NA ?
I have two for tomorrow, Cavalier Approach 4.15pm Ayr and Green Icon in the 2.55pm Newbury. The jockey is coming down for the one ride instead of riding for his boss at Ayr. It is interesting how many southern trainers are using him when sending up a horse to the North.
John,,
Well done with your selections. Not a winner with mine. I will give tomorrow a rest even though there are selections I like but there are dangers in the same race.
Hi MR T,
Managed two winners prince of the sea 13/8 alsoSkellet 100/30, the other two finished 2nd and ran well in defeat. Going to leave it now until Saturday, good luck with the rest of yours today. John.
Mr T,
I will join you with 4 selections for L15. – Dash of Azure 2.30 (Yar) – Prince of the Seas 2.20 (San) – Rock`d oro 2.50 (San) – Skellet 3.23 (San). As they are the Beckett horses & the stable is still in form. Good luck with yours hope they win & mine. John.
John,
One winner two unplaced for a small loss. Four for tomorrow, Glory Hyde 4.18pm Beverley Ever Hopeful 16..53pm Beverley. Skinny Malinka 17.28pm Beverley.Check and Challenge 15.23pm Sandown.
John
Another blank day. Tomorrow I am putting up Grassington 15.13pm Redcar. Ifonytheycouldtalk 16.13pm Redcar.Glitter Code 2.35pm Yarmouth.
Hi MR T,
Only one winner today Beat Box 7/4. On the flat tracks different areas the ground is going soft. So might leave it until the Weekend. Good Luck with yours. John.
Mr T,
Going to risk the Skelton boy`s at Worcester with the L15 as the going is good. Good luck with yours . John.
John
I have just one for tomorrow, Mereside Madness 4.20pm Thirsk
John,
Well done with Kinross, I had another blank day and can see nothing for tomorrow so will give it a rest.
Hi MR T,
Had Mr Escobar beaten a nse at Chester, not a good day for the winners but good old Kinross got me out of trouble. I will now wait until Monday to have a look. Good luck with yours. John.
Hi MR T, No problem, hope they win, I have a senior moment now and again, we are all human. Best of Luck. John.
John
I put the same horse up in both races. ( My age showing there). so the second selection should read Whatawit 18.20 Musselburgh. The other selection is the same as before, Spook 16.58pm Lingfield.
Hi MR T,
Unlucky Friday, you had one beaten a shd and a loser. A reminder anyone with a Paddy Power account internet a free £2 bet Leopardstown/Doncaster, Saturday. My E/W lucky 15 is Los Angelas 3.25 Leopardstown- New York Minute 4.50 Doncaster – 4.15 Mr King 4.15 Doncaster – Mr Escobar 2.40 Chester. I have two ante post (Kinross 5/2 win – You Got to Me 11/2 E/W) . Best of Luck. John.
John,
One near miss 2nd & one unplaced today. I see R Beckett had a good day at Salisbury. Were you on?
Two for tomorrow, Spook in the 18.20pm at Musselburgh and Spook in the 16.58pm at Lingfield.
Good luck with your bets.
John,
Two for tomorrow. 1.50pm, Doncaster Quantum Leap,4.10pm Doncater Cabrera
Hi MR T,
Good luck for Friday . I put up my Saturday backed early ( Ante Post) two fancies , to get the best prices as i have a felling they will be shorter come Donny Saturday. I think the Skelton summer horses are getting tired no winners today, Harry rode his 50th winner yesterday so they have not done bad, through the summer months. John.
John
Another blank day. After looking at a couple for tomorrow, I have decided not to bother & will wait until Friday.
Mr T,
Worcester today Harry Skelton 4 rides, favourite chances. Good Luck with you tip. John.
John,
Very unlucky today but onwards & upwards. I have just one for tomorrow, 3.40pm at Lingfield, Lilly’s Bet. I take one days racing at a time so have not even looked at Saturday yet but good luck with your selections..
HI MR T,
Very unlucky ,one beaten a nose the other just caught near line, 2 seconds and a N/R. As i said earlier i was having a study , went into town today William Hill shop and backed £10 Kinross Park stakes Donny Saturday 5/2 to win, also the filly who is getting an allowance You Got to Me £5 e/w at 11/2 the ground will suit her as no rain at Donny Saturday. Had Kinross when he won with Frankie up last year, but he is getting on in years, he is dropped into Group 2 also seven furlongs which will give him a chance. You Got to Me is a improving 3 year old ,hope she goes well in the St Leger Saturday 14th Sep. Hope your next tips win. John.
John
Three for tomorrow, two at Leicester 3.44pm Rathmoy 4.14pm Laura Bay & one at Newcastle 7.00pm Baraq.
The Mad Hatter finished tailed off 64 lengths, to tip a horse like that you would have to be off your rocker, that is the sort of distances you would see in a N/H race not a 1mile 1 furlong flat race. Always remember the two words in racing `Bullish` (quietly Fancied) ,the other one is self explained `Bullshitish, keep your money in your pocket. The Red Hatter. John.
Hi MR T,
Poor effort today, Harry Skelton rode his 50 th winner this season and i had his winner and 3 losers unfortunetly, going to give it a miss until the weekend and study some possible entries for the weekend. I don`t know what i would do without the Skelton boys and not forgetting Man Und. Good luck with your tips. John.
MR T,
Just picked these at random, l15 Monday Fav- 2.55 pm Brighton/ fav 5.30 pm Wolves/ Paddy De Pole 2.05 N/A / Beat Box 2.40 pm N/A. Asi was casting my eye across the race cards i spotted the Mad Hatter down to go 8.00pm at Wolves, I reckon if he starts in the 8.00pm race he shoul`d win the 8.30pm race, he has had a mention on this page before, sorry it is the Red Hatter. Gooooo-an my -son. John.
John,
Only a fourth place today. I think the ground was against him as all his other runs have been on G/F ground, apart from one on the A/W. I have nothing for tomorrow so I will move on to Tuesday.
Hi Mr T,
I should have done better Saturday. Took a chance on the two Skelton horses ,who had apprentices up, both lost. As two Lucky 15s are eight horses, i had to leave out some Beckett horses one been the first winner who was apprentice ridden at 10/1. Doing them E/W doubles the stake up. I am not a big gambler and just enjoy the horse racing as a sport as well. Good luck with your tip 3.25pm York Cock-a Doode-ooooo. John.
John,
Just the one for tomorrow, Old Cock in the 3.25 at York. (not talking about myself) in the selection.
John
I thought that you had done better than that. I saw two winners and a handful of placed horse (if you back e/w). I note that you are watching at the moment so presume you will have no tips for Sunday?
Hi Colin The idea of gambling is to win, yes i back the Skelton boys, the results show for them selves . You tip horses from John Norton`s, not wishing to be rude but truthfull when ever does he have a winner ,almost never, and putting money on his horses you would have to be an idiot. It is narrow minded people that label people with remarks like twat, due to brainwashed ignorance. Keep your rubbish tips to yourself ,then it wont offend anyone. John.
Mr T,
Managed only one winner from 8 poor effort from me today, i think ground conditions changed with the rain, so best watched for the time being Well done you had a winner at 4/1.john.
John, after all these years John I’m beginning to think you are a southern twat so goodbye and good riddance. You keep backing Skelton and I’ll back my fancies. Mr T, you are ok, you’re a northerner.
Colin.
Interesting idea but I am a very private person & do not give my mobile number or email address out. I am quiet happy to carry on bantering with John on the website. It’s a pity yourself and any others still tuning in to the site don;t put up their tips and then maybe, just maybe Jason would reopen the competition.
Hi Mr T,
Not a bit harsh about Colin ,just the truth, it is no concern of his who writes on this page as he was in the competition like us all, just wrote the truth about his tips etc , which have been very poor, i live in the real world. John.
John,
That’s a bit harsh to Colin. I have two for tomorrow. Sir David 3.10 at Thirsk,, Kings Merchant 3.50 Thirsk.
Good luck with your two l15’s.
Hi MR T,
You would have had 2 non runners and a winner Persuassion 4/1. The skeltons had a faller -a 3rd -2 winners and a loser. I wont get rich from that, but i gave it a go. Skelton`s have 2 at Stratford Saturday one a plater & the other one not a lot better, but capable of winning with apprentices up. A six of Beckett`s Ascot/Haydock 6 runners total 8 runners Lucky 15s. Good Luck with yours MR T, for Saturday. John.
Hi Colin ,
I cant see why it is worrying you ?. as Mr T and myself exchange tips on this page before the event as a bit of fun and i bet. You have to be honest they are a lot better then the rubbish tips you Post. Your last tip quote from you your trainer is ` Bullish` or was it `Bullshitish` the horse finished last tailed off, save your nonsense tips for the `bookie`. John.
John and MR T, why don’t you exchange phone numbers then you could ring up and say what you want without messing about on here. I miss the tipping competition and its a shame it finished. There was always plenty of banter and I joined in regularly. I have been betting much these days but I have been a bit more selective and been going great guns. I haven’t put anything in my 365 account for 2 months and I’ve drawn quite a bit out. Suppose I should keep quiet or my luck might change. If I say I’ve won , I’ve won. when I lose I admit it. No good saying you’ve won if you haven’t you’re only lying to yourself, Going now, be back in not too distant future..
Hi John,
I have one for tomorrow, Minstrel Knight 1.25pm Haydock . I was going to put up Persuassion in the 4.20 pm at Haydock until I spotted Thapa VC in the same race so I will not put either up.
Best of luck with your bets.
Hi MR T,
Got my bets on for Friday at Bangor the 5 of the Skelton`s as i think they will shorten up further, done the 5 lucky 31 , will they get 5 in who knows you got to be init to win init. Good Luck with yours Mr T if you are tipping/betting. Good Luck. John.
MR T,
If in doubt leave it out, i am waiting for Friday/Saturday as well, Will have a look at the declared runners for Bangor tomorrow for Friday.
John,
Even with five meetings,I cannot find a selection to put up for tomorrow so will wait until Friday
John,
after another poor showing today, I cannot find a decent bet for tomorrow so will leave until Thursday.
Hi MR T.
Good luck with your tips for Tuesday, i am going to wait until Friday to have a look at Bangor ,where The Skelton boys will have entries. I think Harry is the most underated jump jockey & forget he was a previous champion jockey, but his results speak for themselves also his father been Gold Medal olympics champion (GB). Ithink his talent rubs of on the boys. Praise where it is needed, that produce results. Good Luck. John.
Evening John, I have two for tomorrow, Skinny Malinka 4.50 Southwell And Saytarr 3.05 Southwell. Best of luck with yours if you put any up.
John,
Another good day fir you I have looked through to morrows cards and decided not to put any selections up as I fancy a couple but they are in the same race.
The skelton boy`s, two winners 4/1–5/2 also two placed from 4 runners . There Summer horses have been low grade some have come from other trainers that have not won a race in 2 or 3 years a regeneation by by Dan Skelton and he gets them to win. 10 out of 10 for effort from them, the will to win, and you get a run for your money win/lose/or draw. Looking forward to there Autumn horses ,which are higher grade. Not looked at Monday`s card`s yet ,have you MR T. Good Luck. John.
John,
That’s a sha. me you could not match even three in one bet but at least you had a few pennies to come back. Good luck with your l15 tomorrow. I have nothing again, poor racing at Brighton and I am not really into NH racing unless a northern trainer travels south with one runner.
Hi Mr T,
Managed 4 winners today but as luck has it 2 winners in each lucky 15, a slight loss. Sunday L15 the Skelton (bros) 4 runners , i will give them a go at Worcester. Good Luck. John.
sorry i thought you had a winner it was 3rd ,need to get my glasses on. john
Hi Mr T,
50 per cent strike rate 1 winner well done. Five of Harry`s mounts at Newton Abbot Saturday , Doha 2.25 Sandown- Field of Gold Sandown 3.35 and Absurde at Chester 3.15 as i had him when he won with Frankie up. Two Lucky 15s. Good Luck. John.
John,
No luck again today And very little time to look at tomorrows cards so will give them a miss. Good luck with any you post.
John,
Two for tomorrow, Divine Legacy 1.40 Thirsk,Persuasion 2.45Thirsk
Hi Mr T.
You are getting nearer to a winner. I am waiting for Saturday Newton Abbbott to bet also maybe look at some other meetings as well Saturday. Good Luck. John.
John,
Slightly better today but not in the money, finishing fourth. I have nothing tomorrow.
John,
Well done with your selections today. I have just one for tomorrow,Stapleford Park in the first at Catterick.
Hi Mr T,
Had the Skelton 2 winners best odds 3/1 -6/5, the other 2 run well in defeat both placed. I will give it a rest for Wednesday. Good Luck, John.
Hi Mr T,
Last 3 of Skeltons Stratford & one Ripon 2.55pm Pesservaroo, L15, That Watchmaker you tipped finished last not kept very good time, but that is racing anyway Good Luck. John.
John,
That did not go as I had hoped although, to be fair to myself, had I known about the jockey change last night I would not have put the selection up. I have nothing for tomorrow so onwards to Wednesday.
John,
Just one for tomorrow, Watchmaker in the first at Ripon.
Hi Mr T,
A loss here today as well, so a little rest until next week.
John
, Drew a blank today and I cannot see anything I fancy for tomorrow so will leave until Monday.
John
Just the two for tomorrow,Oviedo in the 5.20 at York, and Chillingham in the Ebor. Good luck with your L15’s.
Mr T,
Last years Ebor i had the winner backed ante-post Absurde at 8/1 sp 7/1. Two L15s for Saturday 6 of Becketts also one of Gosdens Sunbelt and Hipop De Loire in the Ebor for last years winning trainer Willie Mullins. Good Luck. John.
Mr T,
your tips were placed well done. I backed Mr King blind had 25p E/W at 50/1 PP was paying 6 places he just got touched off for 6th place finished 7th. Emily Upjohn finished 3rd so £30 back -£10 profit, the 5.20 – 50p E/W queens mougins 12/1 just touched off but okay profit made. The law of averages state backing horses every day will end up in a loss. That is why i back in pennies as a bit of fun in the lucky 15s you need 3 winners or 4 to be worthwhile 2 winners you lose a little, you need a good price winner now and then to make a frofit. Ihad the winner of the ebor last year £10 E/w Absurde at 7/1 with Frankie in the saddle.I think you need to follow good trainers/quality horses for winners like you do with Bethell, the same with me Skeltons how good are they?. also Beckett. Giving it a rest until Saturday, Where i reach the dizzy heights of splashing out £15-£20 on the horses L15. Good Luck. John.
Mr T,
Well done with your winner,i managed 2 winners -1 second- one 3rd. Back in June i put up on this page Mr King amd he won 15/8 in Ireland. anyway he changed hands and is racing i UK, he is going tomorrow at York 3.00pm up in class down in weight, might be worth keeping an eye on at a big price, to be honest no info on him this time. My tip tomorrow has to be Emily Upjohn. in the 3.35 oaks as i have her backed E/W ante post 10/1. Good Luck. John.
Mr T,
Not sure what you mean (i see it has worked our well for you tomorrow) in your post 20th August to me?. Your tip looks good2.40 Carlisle also i fancy the Skelton pair at worcester. Harry Charlton who trains for the owners group tipped Kings Gambit at York 3.00pm. Was not doing any but i have put these on only pennies . As i have Emily backed in Oaks Thursday. Good Luck. John.
John,
Glad I did not put them up as selections, just the one winner but a silly price. Just the one for tomorrow, Gundogan in the 2.40 at Carlisle. I see it has worked our well for you tomorrow.
Hi Mr T,
I expect the 3 horses you picked will win, always the way when you don`t back them. I always put them on before i declare them. I am waiting for Thursday to see how Emily John Gets on, i have her backed , hope she can make the frame been backed in from 10/1 to 4/1 at present, it`s a hot little race. With Colin`s Road tax bill i thought he had a roller not a Mondeo. Keep Smiling. John.
John,
I was looking at three horses for tomorrow but have talked myself out of all of them them.One was Intrusivley int first at Nottingham, simply because J Doyle has only got this one ride all day but at odds on I will bypass.The second horse is Oolong Poobong in the 7.00 at Wolvehampton. The third horse was Marionglas in the 7.30 at Wolverhampton.All three are trained by E Bethell’ I will wait until Wednesday.
Only got a Mondeo.
Well done Mr T,
i winner one 2nd pretty good. I like the L15 bet small outlay also double the odds one winner, also i like the single bet normally ante-post at decent prices. I have only one ante post which runs hopefully this week Thursday 22nd Yorkshire Oaks, Emily Upjohn at 10/1, now 5/1 with Paddy Power, i mentioned her previous on this page, she is a bit quirky ,i think but good when she gets it together, i am on E/W . Good Luck. John.
Hi Mr T,
I thought they looked good on paper in theory but practice on the racecource is a different matter , only managed 2 winners today so an over all loss sorry to say. John.
Hi Mr T,
Li5s on best odds-Fun Loving Ripon 459pm 11/5 -Beat Box M/R 7/4 -G a Hentry M/R 2/1 -Climate Precedent M/R 4/1 -l15. 2nd l15 -Brave Mission -Donny 4.16pm -2/1 -Hutchence 2/1 4.40 Newbury – Ciro Di Marzio 11/2 5.15 Newbury – Timefall 11/4 Newmarket 3.15 pm. The Skelton horses have been backed. I am on- Good Luck if you are. John.
John,
I have not found anything to put up for Saturday so will have to rely on your L15’s. Best of luck.
John,
Thanks for your comments.I have nothing for tomorrow at this stage, may be Saturday.
Hi Mr T,
Beckett horses only one winner today not good,but better then none. Your tip the Kent horse was not placed, if it was Clark Kent had trained (superman) it might have won.Giving it a rest now until Saturday. I think Colin shoul`d be called billy no mates tipster after giving the last tip from his trainer on this page, that finished last tailed off. Good luck with your horses Thursday Mr T. John.
John,
Bad day all round today. Just two for tomorrow,Scarboroughwarning at Chelmsford 6.40pm. Toca Madera 7.30pm at your local track, Windsor.
Thanks Mr T,
Spotted Beckett`s horses for Wednesday Lucky 15. I bet in pennies during the week but not everyday, Saturday has always been my main betting day, get Wednesdays horses on after 8am best odds. Good luck with the Kent horse. John.
John / Colin,
Is it another Lucky 15 again for you John tomorrow with your fav, trainer having four runners at various locations. I have nothing for tomorrow but will have a passing interest on T Kents sole runner at Beverley in the first.
Nice to hear from you Colin, glad to see you are getting about.
Not really bothered about billy no mates, i tip horses i back as a bit of fun ,i guess other people read it, that don`t post, at least Mr T posted a 33/1 second wont be long before he gets off the mark with a winner on this page. what i do write on this page is genuine as you can see on this page over the years as you can see from the winners also there has been losers which is normal. Colin £385 car tax you must have a big car?. I have a Fiat Panda 1,200 car tax approx £40, i am retired. I woul`d not complain about the food bill £80 for five. It is about £30 per head around this way. Keep smiling. John.
Good job Mr T has been posting John otherwise you would have been a right Billy No Mates. I haven’t posted owt lately but I’m not backing as much these days. Went to lakes Sunday to Friday last week and on to Staffordshire Friday till Sunday. Had a couple of good days Friday and Saturday, won about 500 notes. 5 of us went for lunch on Sunday and I paid as I had won a few quid. It was 8o quid and being a Yorkshire bloke it was against my grain, but I thought of it as my good deed for the day. Got home later on Sunday to be greeted by a brown envelope from DVLA. Car tax 385 quid, so bang goes my winnings. Catch you and Mr T later. Cheers Colin.
Mr T,
Managed one in four ,that wont balance the books, that`s the way it goes. John.
Hi Mr T,
4 for today – Brize Norton Kem 3.55pm Kem 4.30p, Amiloc – Windsor Miami Memories 5.40 Windsor -Paolmar Bay 7.10 Windsor. L15 . Raph Beckett trains he has quality horses. I am on best odds Paddy Power. Good Luck. John.
Hi Mr T,
Did not see your message until last night, thank you for your kind words concerning Richhill. I seen your tip Apostle it looked good on paper, but did not make the frame and was favourite. Them class 6 races can throw up some funny results. Good Luck. John.
,Sorry about that, guess it is back to the drawing board
John.
Try a small wager on Apostle in the last at Redcar. Sorry to hear about Richhill. No doubt you will find another horse shorttly.
EquiPrep where Richhill is stabled, the physiotherapist and massaage therapist have said he has turned a corner, but as the severity of his injury it is best to retire him as he is a older horse now. He won`t be going back to Dan Skelton into training. He will remain at EquiPrep until some one wants him as a pet/riding horse. I wish him a long happy retirement as he gave us all a bit of fun &won a race. John.
i don`t normally chase money but i left a few shillings with the bookie on Emily Upjohn, the reports say draw 10 was not ideal also the three year old`s getting the weight allowance from the older horses also maybe the race at the Curragh blunted her. I think the mile and a half in the Yorkshire Oaks will suit her 22nd August i am on E/W with Paddy Power at 10/1. Good Luck. John.
Poor result Emily Upjohn, un believable effort, john.
Emily Upjohn, can she do it today?. She will like the ground and maybe give Shoemark his first group1 winner, Got 5/2 this morning best odds paddy power. Good Luck. John.
Amended result, Get Up Mush won, he deserved it, hope you were on Colin?. i was sometimes we deserve a bit of luck . John.
Get up Mush was travelling on the bridle ,when a horse fell in front of him & almost stopped him he was all out to dead heat , with a clear run he would have bolted up, sometimes luck goes against you, but happy to share the spoils, & get the few shilling`s in my wallet. Keep smiling. John.
Had Bluestocking e/w at 5/1 Saturday, unfortunetly he was 2nd come up against the french horse who was under the radar at 25/1. On Get up Mush today, Skelton`s one runner Uttoxeter 2-25pm. Good Luck. John.
Hi Mr T,
It is always the way ,you see a trainer have 4 winners , then get on the next one it will lose. I follow the Skeltons as we have Richhill with them in the (owners group) > The trainer i follow is Paul Nicholls quality horses , he normally has winners every Saturday during the winter ,softer ground, ideal for jumpers top trainer for winners. I follow Beckett on the flat and will back Bluestocking Ascot Saturday. Good Luck. John.
They got one winner 10/11, the rest beaten by better horses on the day no excuses, maybe best watched for a while. John.
The Skeltons are not in sparkling form but not out of form, 2 placed one loser , 1 fell when looked beaten yesterday. Worth giving them a go at Stratford, i am on 4 of Harrys mounts and one of Bens in a lucky 31, best odds. Best of luck. John.
The Skeltons are at Market Rasen today, a few of the horses are upped in grade but less weight to carry, i am on Harry`s mounts E/W lucky 15 as good a chance as any, i would say . Best of luck. John.
Three losers , at Stratford (Skeltons) and two non runners, that wont balance the books. But had a little luck 4-30 Hammer Dan won 5/2 also had Inspector Lynsley 16/5 both well backed, them two balanced the books and left me with a bit in hand. The Skelton horses did not run well. John.
Hi Colin,
The Skelton team are at Stratford today 4 rides Harry 1 ride Ben, I think they have a fair chance of getting winners, i am on lucky 31, good luck if you are betting. John.
Hi Colin,
Richhill is recovering very slowly from his pelvic injury,they are going to decide on the 1st October (my Birthday) should he go back into training or call it a day &retire him, anyway he don`t owe me anything also had a win for us in January 2023, whatever is best for him i am happy to go along with it. John.
Normally get 1,or 2 at least, but the 4 blew out today, i think the bubble has burst on there summer horses als the handicapper, River Robe having to carry 10lb ex for his last win that stopped him. Maybe best watched at present, there best horses will be out in the winter, but they haven`t done bad with the summer horses. John.
Hi Colin,
The Skelton (bros) at Market Rasen today ,- Queens Venture 15/2 – River Robe 13/8 – Don Occhetti 9/4. Chart Topper in the lucky last at Sligo 11/4 for the lucky 15. Early prices best odds. I will be on them like bees around a honey pot, Go-aaaaaaaaaaaaan the boys. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Good luck at Doncaster. May -June there summer horses hit form some of them had wind surgery to win a couple of times or more , then the handicapper stops them winning with extra weight. They are average horses, they save the best ones for the winter campaign, ground more suitable. It is rare the Skeltons come away from a meeting without a winner. I will be on them everytime they have runners ,there are a good team to follow, and put a profit in my pocket and paid for my share in Richhill over and over. John.
Back again John, just had a quick luck at Skelton for the last 2 weeks and he’s had 4 winners out of 17 for a level stake loss of about 20 points. You can’t be making much profit from those.
Hi John, haven’t been posting much lately
but I haven’t been punting much . I must be losing a bit of interest. Been to Haydock today and didn’t back a winner. Going to Donny tomorrow so hoping for a bit better
two winners one 3rd one loser, 50per cent strike today e/e- 5/4 early prices best odds Paddy Power after 8am. Don`t know how many summer horses the Skelton bros have to come as a lot have won and are penalised with extra weights. Good Luck. John.
Is it to be be or not to be for the 3 timer at Stratford that is the question for the Skelton bros today. Seraph Gabriel ,LINGFIELD 7-30PM to get of the mark for the lucky 15, i am on them like a dose of Epsom salts. Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaan the boys. John.
The Skelton horses were up in class yesterday also carried penalties for previous wins, there is a saying back them until they lose. Had 2 winners Los Angeles and Riskingthe ground 13/8- 11/4 , so lost on the day, but had May To June in profit with the Skelton Bros, thats racing. John.
Hi Colin,
Looks like i am the only one writing on this page?. If you have been backing the Skelton`s your wallet should be straining at the seams. Uttoxeter Sunday a sixer the boys have out and it is not cricket. two lucky 15s 6 skeltons, 2 at the Curragh -Los Angeles and Kayhana total 8 eight horses. I will be on them like flies around a dog turd. Will you ?. Go-aaaaan the boys. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Hope you are enjoing the Uk sunshine,summer has arrived, also backing the winners. The Skeltons had one winner In This World 2/1 and Mr King won the 8-00pm at Naas at 15/8. Hope you were on?. John.
The Skelton boys have 3 out at Worcester today, 1 short price and 2 outsiders. 8.00pm Naas Mr King has been backed , a favourite`s chance. Good luck. John.
The Sheltons had 2 winners- 2 thirds from 5 races, amazing form,there are no N/h trainers showing that sort of summer form at present. Long may they continue there vein of luck. John.
Hi Colin,
The Skelton boys are at Market Rasen Friday 21st looking for the five timer, not out of the question, i am on them with the win lucky 31. Go-aaaaaan the boys. Best of luck. John.
Hi Colin ,
Did you have any luck at Royal Ascot?. The skelton (Bros) had 2 winners a non runner and a loser, can`t knock that profit winning form in the lucky 15`s. They are a great team Dan&Harry and i am glad i follow them when the iron is hot , it puts a bit of cash in your pocket. Richhill not back in training yet he is excercising gently. Had a great holiday in the Turkish Riveria, it was very hot for June 35-40 degrees extreme heat. Royal Ascot tough meeting to get winners as there are big price improvers lurking under the radar, anyway Good Luck. John.
Hope you had a good holiday. Skelton just beat me. ew so nothing lost. had lucky 15 at ascot. 2in 1st 5 in2nd 12 in 3rd and 9 in 7th
Is it to be or not to be,is the question?. as the Skelton boys visit Stratford Tuesday, three good chances at least i would say. Just got back from the hol`s this week it was 35 degrees everyday at least, the UK climate cooler. Good quality racing at Royal Ascot starting Tuesday until Saturday, Best of luck if you are having a bet, i will be on the Skelton horses, Go-an the boys. John.
Where i am going it will be mostly Sunny, coul`d not resist backing it bolted in,the Skelton bros 50 per cent strike rate today, go -an go-an the boys. Hope you were on Colin?. John.
Hi Colin,
The boys have two runners today at Southwell -Queens Venture -3.45pm also Mostly Sunny 4.50pm. I woul`d not put any one off backing them the form the Skelton bos are in. Old saying quit while you are ahead ,for me at least two weeks ,for me two weeks relaxing in the sunshine, off early Wednesday 5th of June. Best of luck. John.
Hope you were on Colin
1 non runner -3 winners Burlington bertie twice 100/30 and 5/6 best odds , pity about the rule fours in all races, the bookie likes his share wheather you win or lose, but not complaing Shelton 3 winners again, what a team the brothers are brilliant, churning out winners from day to day and putting a bit of spending holiday in my wallet. Good Luck. John.
Is it tempting fate,the boys will get 3 winners today at Fakenham, Harry Skelton doing the steering & Harry Cobden on Cannon Rock for the Lucky 15 ay Fakenham Go-an Go-an the boys. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
The question had to be, is it to be or not to be in Shakespeare country (Stratford) The Skelton Bros 3 winners 9/4- 4/1 -4/1 early prices also non runner, had the 4 in lucky 15, i can get that new whistle& flute for the hol`s, not a bad nights work also Miners Bridge 2nd at Tramore 7-25pm at 12/1. I feel like the Man Und coach going away on holiday after a win, very happy. It is is better to do someone a good turn then a bad turn, but with horses it is a lot of luck, but nice when it comes off & you fill your wallet up. Hope you were on. I will toast Harry Skelton In Turkey, well done boy. John.
Hi Colin,
Next week of to where the east meets the west , the turkish riveria where the sun sun shines every day sun tan weather. The Skelton Bros are at Stratford this evening, Harry rides 4 with chances. There is a bit of money for Miners Bridge E/W at Tramore tonight 8/1 at present. Best of Luck. John.
The Skelton bros no luck today with there 2 horses, i think they were anchored by the extra weight they had to carry from previous wins. John.
The Skelton Bros had a winner and a 2nd at Uttoxeter yesterday. Harry has 2 rides at Cartmel today. John.
Thank you MR T, the best side won on the day . Man Und improving team as some of them are teenagers, great result. I am off to the Turkish Riviera ,Aegean coast early June all been well, nice warm weather, humans are like horses ,like the sun on there back. The Skelton Bros are at Uttoxeter today , Harry has 4 rides, single bets or lucky 15s, i am on them. Best of luck. John.
well done John. Hope you enjoy your hols.
Thanks Colin,does that mean i have the green light for the holiday?. The horses river tiber 3rd ,The Skelton Bros had a winner 3/1 also two 2nds so wont be visiting Moss Bros yet for the whistle&flute, but got 11 days before i go . Back of the net 2 goals Manchester Und, result 2-1 Man City. Holiday transfer sorted Airport Gatwick. £155 in the sky rocket (pocket). Good Luck. John.
Well done John
Hi Colin,
The Bros are at Cartmel this afternoon Harry 3 rides, a patent/single bets , i have the three in a lucky 15 with river tiber 3.40 Curragh, go -on the boys. Also the FA final to watch c-mon c-mon the red devils, might get a new whistle&flute yet with a bit of luck for the hol`s. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
The Shelton bros managed 2 winners 2 seconds from the 5 horses, they were trying, it would have been good if they had the 5 winners, i would have been off to Moss bros for a new outfit for the holiday,i will have to make do with what i have got my old whistle &flute. Ha-Ha-Ha. John.
Hi Colin,
The Skelton bros will be at Market Rasen Thursday 23rd , Harry doing the steering on the five rides, Go on boy boot them in, will be popular with the lucky 31 punters and single backers. Best of luck. John.
Hi Colin,
I know you said your trainer John Norton Was `bullish` about Dakota Blue a very poor efford finished approx 30 lenghts tailed off last, glad i did not get any of my holiday money on it. I have paid the remaining fee for my flights/ hotel transfers all included for abroad, so wont be cancelling holiday unless my health stops me. The Man Und win would help for my Uk taxi transfers from home to airport, if they lose still got £55 coming back and i laid out £20 so a frofit whatever happens. Go-On the red devils they will be ready, beat Brighton 2-0 last weekend. Tell your trainer old saying the last will be first. John.
Looks like cancelling your holidays cos united still got no chance. Called at Johns this morning and was quite bullish about Dakota Beat getting at least a place in the second at Hexham tomorrow.
Hi Colin,
They have to win, i am going on holiday 11 days after the final, need the holiday money, the place money is not enough towards my spending money, the win gives me another onecer towards it. No luck horses lately, but keep trying. John.
John, you must be able to see , they have no chance. Think yourself lucky you backed them ew. I think that irish horse One Look hasn’t trained on. Ran a crap race the other day.
Hi Colin,
Can the red devils grasp the nettle for the F A cup double starting with the women this Sunday afternoon then the men on the 25th May. Go on Gon- on the red devils. John.
ALLEN GOT BEAT, MISSED 3 EASY REDS THAT I COULD HAVE POTTED ,AND EACH ONE COST HIM THE FRAME 62-0 UP IN LAST FRAME AND BALLED UP. NOT TO WORRY, HAD A LUCKY 15 UIP SATURDAY 2 2/1S AND 2 9/4S. GOING TO CATTERICK THIS EVENING. HOPING FOR THE BEST.
Hi Colin ,
Any luck with the tennis/snooker?. Your tip for the 1,000 guineas is a non runner, but is entered in Irish 1,000 guineas. I had a small e/w Brilliant at 50/1 , 1,000 guineas he is still in, final decs on Friday May 3rd so hope i get a run. Haven`t heard from MR T ,maybe he hibenates during the long winter period . Hopefully the warmer weather is on the way. Good flat racing next weekend. Good Luck. John.
Hi John, forgot to mention, backed Allen ew in snooker. Great chance of reaching final, then who knows.
Hi Colin,
I think Mullins has the champion trainer UK won as he has runners at Perth then the big prize money meeting on Saturday Sandown Park, 10 miles from me. I don`t visit any meetings these days due to leg /feet problems. Cup Final 25th May,going on holiday 2 weeks after in June, where the sun shines, good for aches &pains, need the red devils to win for some holiday spending money got £55 in the skyrocket(pocket) need the other one-er for the win, it will be tough to beat City, C-Mon C-Mon the red devils. Good Luck. John.
John, your place money is in the bag, but I still cant see them beating City
Hi Colin,
It has been said Houdini was a great escape artist, but Man Und getting to the FA cup final is something else, with luck like that i would not put it past them to win the FA Cup i hope. My £10 e/w at 9/1 is alive very lucky. No luck with the horses, but happy with the football. John.
Hi Colin ,Good luck with the tennis bet.Hope the Skelton`s can go close with Ballygrifincottage in Ayr Grand National 16/1 at moment, nicely weighted ,hopefull he gets the distance. Good match Saturday Chelsea V Man City cup match, then Sunday Coventry V Man Und C-mon C-mon the red devils. John.
win or lose Raducanu is a good bet at 11/2 to beat number one seed.
She won today, but up against top seed next. The way she’s playing she has a good chance of toppling her. So once again fingers crossed.
Hi Colin,
There is a saying no one wants to be sent to Coventry anyway the boys in red will be there Sunday, Ithink you might be right it will be a tough game, but hope they can come away with a win . Galia des Liteaux was in the lead two out in National, faded finished 8th but got a run for my money at 33/1. Well done you got the winner 7/1 fav. I see you have expanded your gambling to tennis, it woul`d lose me. I stick to horses/football/golf/ that enough for me,anyway good luck with the tennis bets. John.
Sorry John, but the way united are playing they’ll struggle to beat Coventry. backed winner of National, but with it being National I only risked 5ew. I fancied last years winner until I got Racing Post and read form when I thought winner was class among rubbish. The National now is just a 4 mile handicap and more fancied horses will win. The days of 100/1 winners is a thing of the past. Good luck with your cup bet. I’ve has a bet on Raducanu in the tennis in Germany. She was 40/1 so I had 5ew. when I checked later she was 50/1, so I had another 5ew. She beat Kerber and is 13/8 to win next round, so had a tenner on that. fingers crossed.
the women`s team Man-Und beat chelsea FA cup semi 2-1 on the way to Wembley, Hope the men`s side are on the way next Sunday. No luck National. John.
Hi Colin-Mr T,
Backed Galia Des Liteaux Grand National double carpet e/w 6 places 5th of odds (33/1) with Corals. He has sneaked in at a nice weight for the Skelton boys. I thought put it up before the event win or lose, rather then be wise after the event , anyone can do that. The irish have a strong hand of runners for the race, Good Luck ,with it whatever you are backing. John.
Match of the day Man-Und V Liverpool 2-2 the red devils are improving a young side, some silly mistakes but seem to be going the right way, looking forward to cup match later this month, c-mon c-mon United. John.
Hi Colin,
I noticed your tip for 1,000 guineas ( One Look) Has been backed from 12/1 to 10/1 are you on. I have had a little e/w on Brilliant for same race at 50/1 he recently won a group 3 in ireland and coul`d be improving , i never underestimate Adian O Brien in big races or any races. Have you got your lucky pin out for the Grand National Saturday?. It is a minefield. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
What you have to do is type in to google Sporting Life, then it will say today`s racecards click on that and the meetings/racecards will come up, the same as the newspaper exactly the same, no charges or subscribing. Hope that helps, The Red Hatter looked a bit keen well beaten when they quickened, i guess it is back to the drawing board with him, anyway good luck with the Sporting Life Racecards. John.
You can’t see the form without subscribing to racing post. it’s not the same as having the paper in your hand. Been to see Red Hatter this morning and john didn’t seen enthusiastic about his chances. Been off his food, but eaten up last 5 days. Still growing and should be better in future. was 33s last night , then 14s and down to 10s this morning. definitely not stable money and will drift today.
Hi Colin,
Haven`t got a clue what you are on about Blackpool some man from my neck of the woods, i do not live at boxhill ,i live in Woking. Ihave my holidays in Turkey summertime like most people, Going to Blackpool on holiday in the winter is not my cup of tea or anywhere in the uk with cold weather. You are on about a compere taking the piss, i guess you were at some variety show, there is a saying those who take the piss is to have a good look at themselves first.Why buy the racing post when you can get the same information free on the computor crazy.Emily Upjohn ran 5th at Meydan, i think there is a good race in her ,maybe Royal Ascot. Good Luck. John.
Hi John, been in Blackpool last week and that chap from your neck of the woods was there again. The compere kept taking the piss out of him but I suppose he expected it cos it happened last year as well. I’m surprised you dont know him cos he seems to have some maybe ex racehorses on his far and I told you last year he was from Boxhill area. Cant be many farms with horses in the area.Told you I’ve cut punting down to fridays and saturdays as Racing Post was costing me 34quid each week and i’ve cancelled it. you cant bet seriously without so its two days unless my Irish connection sends something.cheers and all the best for Man U. Richill is like most horses, always injured. Red Hatter is entered somewhere next week.
A complete blank Gosden=Frankie, but that`s the way it goes world class racing Meydan. John.
Hi Colin,
Frankie flew in to Meydan Wednesday also John Gosden, might be worth keeping an eye on there runners and Frankie has 4 rides i am on them l15 also Gosdens other runners also 1at Cork and 1 at Haydock Playful saint. 2 l15s C-mon C-mon Frankie, Best of Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Richill spends all his time in his box, due to the nature of his injury, they bring him grass/hay also he can`t lay down as he woul`d not be able to get up it woul`d end up fatal. The trainer says autumn before we see him again racing if we ever see him again racing fingers crossed. Sounds like the Red Hatter is doing okay. Man und look to have the best draw with Coventry, but you can`t your chickens as cup matches throw up some strange results. One match away from final then i am in the money e/w final. Good luck. John.
Red Hatter in full training and should run in about two weeks plus.
Still there John, should beat Coventry and hope Chelsea beat City. I’m a United fan but I think Liverpool looked most likely to win for most of the game. You have to be in it to win it.
Hi Colin,
The young Man-Und side served it up to Liverpool 4-3 keeping the F A cup alive, what a match , semi final Man Und v Coventry, C-mon C-mon C-mon the red devils. John.
Hi Colin,
Not sure if you got the wrong end of the stick, concerning the red hatter i previous said come on the red devilsand the red hatter when he runs. No idea how long it takes to get over a gelding operation, maybe the vet will tell you that?. Man und are through to quarter finals next game Sunday 17th., despite your doubts about them, Liverpool are a good side next game. Had Langer Dan E/W at 7/1 won. My bets Thursday are Le-Milos e/w at 13/2/ Stage Star e/w 5/1/ and Ginny`s Destiny at 4/1 bets with value for money. I am not interested in odds on shots. Best of luck. John
doing nowt at Cheltenham. Good job 365 gave State Man and Ballyburn at evens to limited stakes. Had 40 on each day. Don’t know what tomorrows give away will be. Can’t be as good today or yesterday.
John, how long would it take you to run if you had what Red Hatter has had.
Hi Colin,
Next match the red devils St Patricks day (March 17th), against Liverpool, might need the luck of the irish with that one, to keep my bet alive. c-mon c-mon c-mon the red devils and the red hatter when he runs. John.
MR T,
The Munich air disaster was a big setbback to the Man Und team in the fifties, the Busby babes, The irish goalkeeper dragged a woman from the wreckage who was expecting a baby, a sad story all round. But they came back strong in the late sixties ,with superstar George Best. Good Luck for Cheltenham, if you are having a bet?. John.
John,
I would suggest going back to the fifties for the glory days of Man Utd. Players like Duncan Edwards, Tommy Taylor, David Pegg, Bill Foulkes , Eddie Coleman, & a very young Bobby Charlton plus the other members of the Busby Babes. For what it is worth< I think football has been ruined by football agents & overpriced foreign players who only want silly wages.
Hi Colin,
Man Und nothing like the glory days when g. Best/charlton/law/stiles/ etc-etc were there, but they are still okay, anyway i backed them at 9/1 e/w F/A cup. Next cup round 28th Feb. Richhill has a pelvic injury, coul`d be out until end of the summer ,he was fit &ready to go, very disappointing. On Bravemansgame e/w 20/1 Gold Cup cheltenham. I will lookout for the mad hatter, Don`t know when he is running?. Good luck for Cheltenham we all need that. John.
John to say I think you have wasted your money on Manchester United. I follow them. I used to have a season ticket there, and today’s team is the worst I can ever remember. No chance in cup. Roll on Cheltenham, then we can lose some more.
Hi Colin,
I did mention in one of my previous posts about gelding the mad hatter. The (cruelest cut). If that don`t work,maybe the future N/H ,hurdles, but it is up to the trainer what he thinks. We are pleased with Richhill he jumps well, we hope to see him racing March time. Had a little E/W on Man Und F A cup at 9/1, Come on the red hatter & the red devils. Good Luck. John.
Hi John, well you will get your money back if it doesn’t run. Popped into Johns on monday to have a word with Red Hatter but he was in no mood to talk to me as he has just had his wedding tackle removed. John keeps telling me he’s ok, so we’ll have to wait and see. Be a week or two yet.
Hi Colin,
Hope you are backing the winners?. Not the mad hatter, the bookie likes him. Richill will be racing March decent ground we hope ,as rain is forecast for coming weeks. Richhill has not had many miles on the clock and will be fresh come March and hope he goes well. I know you don`t like ante-post bets but i have backed Bravemansgame for Cheltenham Gold cup (March) at 20/1 e/w ,had him backed King George finished 2nd, so having another go, i like value for money. The excitement of Cheltenham only a month away ,the highlight of the N/H season. Good Luck. John.
Hi Mr T,
Have not heard from you are you hibenating during this cold winter, i am that is the joy`s of been retired look out the window in the morning ,if it is pouring with rain , go back to bed , no worries about going to work. Looks like the competition is finished and gone for good like a lot of the competitors that were on this page. John.
Hi Colin,
Ferns hill went in 8/15 as you said , i did not think you backed these short prices as i remember you saying when i told you richhill was fancied he won 8/11 i was on at 4/5 , had to back it as a shareholder in the horse and he won just. I like value for money when i bet, lay out small collect big , that`s the thinking, Good Luck. John.
Risked 22 quid on this nag at 8/11. Now 1/2.
Probably wants a bit of lead in it’s ear. Preferably administered with a gun. Never trust what a jockey tells you.
Hi Colin,
A lot of people woul`d say you `mad as a hatter backing the red hatter at 125/1 ,he was not totally disgraced finished 10 of 12. I did not back it a bookie`s bet. Maybe he needs gelding as he is a full horse as a way forward, my opinion only. John.
john, i’m told Ferns Lock will win last at Thurles on Sunday but wont be a big price. You might get 6/4 if you jump in quick. Past the post and weighed in already.
Hi John, his words to me tonight are “I’m sure he has a future”. His horses try all the time and Mullrenan told him he thought it would win for him. I’ve had 5ew at 40s, 4 places with 365. If it loses it’s not the end of the world, but it’s good value win or lose.
Hi Colin,
I have heard the saying as mad as a hatter. Looking at the Red Hatter`s form is not inspiring to back him in 5-00pm Wolves Saturday 20th January.What are your thoughts on his chances as you will hear it from the horses mouth?. He is double carpet at present (33/1) GO-AN- MY -SAN. jOHN.
Hi Colin,
Glad to hear from you, i am glad you have made some comments, as i guess people have been reading my boring comments for a while . I will keep a look out for your tips. Richhill will be out in the spring ,hoping for better ground and he is well handicapped. The skelton`s hit form Saturday 6 winners. Good Luck. John.
john, you have posted the last 9 comments, so I am writing to break up your sequence. I hope everybody is enjoying the new year. i personally aren’t breaking any pots, but i’m trying to cut my punting down. Looking to the future I think i’ve seen next season’s 1000gns winner. Just wait and watch. 12/1 at the moment but i’m not as daft as John when it comes to ante post betting. john has a horse that he thinks will win, and I shall have a little bit on it as soon as betting comes out. It’s called Red Hatter and runs on the 20th of this month.The 1000gns horse is One Look.
Happy new year to eveyone, heep backing the winners also most important keep smiling. john
Disappointing run from Richhill yesterday ,jumped badly. The vet is going to check him m-o-t, his next appearance will be February/March, better ground hopefully then. John.
Another entry Saturday Newbury 30th -1-15pm h`cap class (3) Richhill also entered at Donny Friday. Ground depending where he runs. John.
Bravemansgame got 2nd in a messy race but the best horse won. John.
Richill entered 29th Dec at Donny 12-30pm. John.
I don`t think Richhill will run before Christmas, maybe the 30th December but nothing concrete yet. I have a bottle of bollinger to open Christmas, had it since Uknowwhatimeanharry won the albert Bartlett 016 Cheltenham ,had him at 25/1 ante post he finished 11/1 well backed, better open the bolly otherwise it will turn to vinegar as 7 years old. I woul`d like to wish a happy christmas to Colin/Mr T/ Paul and anyone else who frequents this web page. A Christmas cracker Trainer says to owner your horse has a light weight also very fit, the owner replies shoul`d i put a monkey on it?. The trainer replies you woul`d be better with a jockey on, Ho-Ho–He-He- Ha-Ha. Keep Smiling & backing the winners for the new year. On Bravemansgame King George £20 win 5/2 ante post for boxing day. Best of luck. John
Richhill not declared 20th December awaiting other options. John.
New entry Richhill Newbury 3-10 Wednesday 20th December 2miles+
Richhill not declared Saturday at Donny 16th December. John.
Colin,
A merry Christmas to you & a Happy New Year. I hope you are keeping well and taking a few pounds off the bookies.
Also the same to John, I hope your horse gives you some profit before too long. I have noticed that the Skeltons are in some sort of form recently.
Hi Colin,
Richhill is entered at Donny 12-15pm Saturday December 16th 2miles + class 4 should give him a chance, hope we can get the few shillings for the Christmas pot. Best of luck. John.
Just to wish the few readers that are left a lovely christmas and a healthy and prosperous new year.
Hi Colin,
Richhill finished 3rd friday 1st December in a hot class 3 race, the jockey/trainer are pleased with his fitness progress, Dan is looking for a race over Christmas for Richhill & hopefull it wont be long before he wins. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin, MR T,
Richhill might run Friday 1st December , he should be sharper this time. Newbury 12-40pm 2miles + Good Luck. John.
Hi Mr T,
Richhill did run at Kempton he finished 5th, he needed the run, will be racing in the next few weeks and should be fitter next time.. Good Luck. John.
Colin,
I thought we might have heard from John considering his horse is engaged at Kempton tomorrow.
See it didn’t run John.
To Colin & co,
Richhill entered Ludlow 1-25pm Thursday 9th November, depending on ground conditions , he is fit and well. John.
The previous comment looks a bit strange but I had commented that I had just backed second at Newcastle but there was a stewards enquiry and knowing my luck it wont get race but it did.
Hi John, had a decent spell a couple of weeks back, but slipping lately.
got race 6/1. Are things picking up.
Hi Colin had Frankie wit two of his winners Trawlerman 9/1 -King of steel 7/2/ nearly had three he was just beaten on Kinross. but made a profit , good old Frankie , did you have any luck Colin?. John.
Hi Colin,
I did not renew my yearly contract with Gold Link as he had been injured for nearly 2yrs . He won at Huntingdon 4.25pm Tuesday 17th Oct at 13/8 jf. I am still in Richhill, he is back in training with Dan Skelton, and we are hoping he will be out at the end of this month jumping the bigger obstacles ,starting at 2miles. He has been working in deep sand and getting through it okay to bring him to peak fitness. So no problems with him so far, fingers crossed. I am on Frankie for Champions day Ascot Saturday unfotunetly one non runner Courage mon ami. Good Luck .John.
john, did you keep your share in Gold Link. maybe not but you may have backed it, I backed second as usual.
Hi Colin,
As it is Frankie`s last season & he has had some past luck at Ascot, done a E/W l15 as he has some nice rides on Saturday 21st Ascot- King of Steel-5/1 -Kinross 9/4 – Inspiral 7/1 – Courage Mon Ami- 7/1 all smart horses, hope he has some winners, i expect they will shorten in price near post time. Best of Luck. John.
I’m still here. Not backing any winners though.
Hi Mr T,
Got back last Friday the weather was very hot 32 degrees. As the competition is not active, i guess not many people looking in on a regular basis, maybe the same with Colin. You coul`d be right just you &me left. John.
Hi Colin,
Just back from holiday. I see nothing has changed concerning the competition, looks like it has ended for good. Richhill is back with Dan Skelton doing light work, getting ready for the jump season. John.
Can’t do a thing John. Keep thinking things will change but they haven’t today so far.
Hi Colin,
Had any winners ?. I had the ebor winner Absurde at 8/1 £10 e/w. Had my holiday cancelled due to Easy-jet cancelling the flights around Europe on 24th August at Gatwick Airport, terrible spent a day in the Airport, anyway rebooked going next week fingers crossed. I will be cooler 29-30c but warmer then the UK weather. John.

Hi Colin,
Richhill will be on his way back into training soon as the vet has given him the all clear, maybe going back to Dan Skelton this week, when transport is arranged. Going on the hols soon , I will be back early September ,will have a look then to see if this page is still on the web. Quality racing York coming up soon , also weather improving as not a very good summer this year in Uk. Good Luck. John.
8.20h Ballin Jeriko De Baune (FR) 18/1

Hi Colin,
Just a mention, Richhill should be back in training at the end of this month. he he had been showing potential on the gallops early days,and the race he won he shoul`d have won it easy, but scraped in at 8/11 fav, the vet has found he had a sore back, but now they reckon he has turned a corner, he had a lady therapist give him a massage ( i coul`d do with one of them ha-ha ) , so if you are following him he will be going chaseing in the future and hope he wins, the trainer says he is a nice horse, so hope for the best. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
I looked at the long forecast for the Uk and it is rain & more rain August, i believe horses like the sun on there back bring `s them on , same applies to humans makes them happy. I am going to the Aegean coast Turkey, the Temp will be on average 33 degrees daily, i love it ,near the beach nice breeze from the sea & get a tan, few beers at night, good food, paradise. I think you need good weather otherwise stuck inside. I bet you and Mr T are missing the Competition?. I guess there will be some news sooner or later regarding the Competition`s fate. Anyway good luck. John.
Have a good holiday ,John. Where are you going? Sounds better than Blackpool.
I will be off on my annual leave shortly abroad where the east meets the west ,where the sunshine`s every day, swimming pool in hotel 5 minutes walk to beach temp 33 degrees average every day, lovely food & beer, lovely people, been going there since 2005, a delightful place, as there is no betting shops there, wont be gambling for a couple of weeks, they say a change is as good as a rest, that also applies to the British summer weather. No news about the competition yet?. When i come back to England it will be September, this page might be gone then?. John.

MR T,
My opinion is it was like fishing put some bait on the hooks and catch as many fish as you can. The competition bait was £100 first prize 2nd £50, it drew in many competitors in, in the hope to sell tips to also get them to sign up with the bookies, but i guess that dried up, and the prize money was no longer available. As there was only about 20 competitors left in the competition and like any buisness if it is not making money it will close, that is what i think, i might be wrong, but with out an explanation who knows. John.
What is wrong with your website. Can’t get into it.
Colin / John,
What I don’t understand is, if Jason is ending the competition why has he left this page open? I can only assume that he is leaving it open in case he wants to start the competition again at a later date & to reset the whole thing from scratch would cost more than to leave it open. Any thoughts?
8.45h Newc Churchill Bay
Hi all,
The same problem here 🙁
I think Paul, must have heard something through the grapevine, as he finished like an express train by an extradionary ammount of points, his best ever, going on his past form, incredible result for July. Ha-Ha. John.
Hi Colin,
Have to see what happens regarding the competition, but what ever happens, it has been fun with the banter, also sharing our horse tips and those of us who have stayed when the prize money went and stayed loyal to the competition. Best of Luck to you all. John.
If this page gets shut down, I would like to thank everyone who’s kept it going with their comments and good luck to you all in the future.
MR T ,
I totally agree with what you say, to shut the system down without informing the clients, woul`d be bad practice and not beneficial to the company in anyway. John
John,
I sent two messages to Jason yesterday to ask him to look into the problem and guess what, I am still awaiting a reply. Maybe Colin is right and Jason has ended the competition. If so, it’s a pity he has not got the courage to inform the competition members.
Maybe they’ve packed it in.
I posted a winner on the 1st of August, but went to have a look at league table but not available to see also selection nap table down, so can`t post nap for today 2nd August, i presume it is effecting everyone in the competition. Maybe Jason will look into it?. John.
Has anybody been able to post a selection for today or is it just Colin & myself?
Colin, Same problem. Went to log on but cannot. Was going to post She’s Hot in 5.05 Goodwood
Cant get on for some reason. Just went to post King of Tonga but couldn’t. anyway beaten short head at 12/1. Good job I couldn’t make it.
Paul, do you fancy a meet up for a day’s punting. I could come to Barnsley or you could come to Wakefield. What do you think. It could be a change and a day out. Might pick some winners with our heads together.
Well done Paul. With a profit of about 50 on the month you deserve to win. I’ll send a couple of outsiders in but it will be hope rather than judgement. soon be August.
Thanks John, I haven’t bothered surfing much this week. Watching the competition and was hanging on to Paul’s coat tails but he struck with a good winner yesterday. As they say, it’s not over till the fat lady sings.
Hi Colin,
You are in striking distance of winning competition, good luck. Newquay a lovely place to holiday (english riviera) wont disappoint, been there years ago, it was popular then for surfing, also fresh fish in the resturants, have a good holiday. John.
In Newquay this week so might not be able to send tips in.
Looks like Sweet Memories, Paul.
Should have waited Paul.
Paul will take some catching. He will have tipped Nashwa I presume. Unassailable lead.
Mr T, trying a new approach. In future, won’t be posting every day, but when I do, it will be quality not quantity.
Colin,
Glad to see you have got your mojo back again. Keep it going.
MR T,
I think you might need some help from above , as the way your tipping is going so far for July. There again i would not put you down as a religous person, more arguementive then anything else. Saying that i am not getting the winners myself yet, i need a rub down with the Sporting Life. John.
MR T,
The saying is not of any offence to anyone , it means the last will be at the top first like heaven, which could apply to you in July if you win the Competition. You will have to do a bit of swatting with the form book, or look for help from above. John.
John,
I hope you know where that saying originates. I would not put you down as a religious person. My selection in the end was Bomb Squad, a close second which just about sums my luck up. As for next month, there are still multiple meetings each day.
MR T,
The horse powerdress you was going to select finished last, nothing like going out in style. Tommorow is another day also the start of another month and turn over a new page for winners. There is no disgrace in finishing last. There is a Irish saying the last will be first. So good luck for July. John.
John,
Wooden Spoon it is then.
John,
I will be changing my selection as since this morning there has been a jockey change. I was going to put up Powerdress in the 8-20 at Newmarket but I will look around for another loser. I would not like to disappoint your prediction.
MR T,
No excuses ,the same for everyone. I have two calenders above my desk, fully aware calenders are universal not just north or south of the UK, and June has 30 days as everyone knows. 16 duck eggs made you odds on for the wooden spoon i guess. Quack-Quack. John.
John,
I will be posting my selection later & it will probably lose as it is the trainers second string. Somebody has to finish last to prop up all the other players & to be honest as I have already mentioned on the blog I do not enjoy racing when there are five or six meetings daily, on firm ground which a lot of horses are not used to. Roll on end of August when the flat night racing finishes & we get back to 2 or 3 meetings daily.
MR T,
Looks like you are awarded the wooden spoon this month . You will have to pull your socks up for the July competition if you have any chance of winning it. Maybe a rub down with the Racing Post might help?. John.

From Tuesday to Saturday, i will be shouting Co`mon -Co`mon Frankie, his last Royal Ascot it could be a tip in itself. Good luck to everyone quality racing at its best. John.
The gods are against me this month. Just backed Bajan Bandit at 14/1,went to post it and believe it or not but it wasn’t in the list of runners. Not to worry Ascot next week.
MR T,
Don`t forget Robert The Bruce `try try again until you succeed, The little spider trying to finish his web on the cave roof he slipped 6 times , the seventh time he completed the web. It gave Robert The Bruce inspiration to succeed, so MR T spin a web of winners. John.
Hi Mr T,
I appreciate what you are saying, but it is not correcting the problem. `eg` The competitors that tipped losers and are given a non runner, when they should have a point deducted as they tipped a loser. The winner i had returned 6/4 but it showed 16/1 on league page, i guess it should have shown approx 2.85, so for instance i have lost about 1.85 in profit. So without these errors rectified, it is no good. John.
Hi Mr T,
Thank you for your advice, done as you said but no reply. I feel i am not going to particpate as a matter of principle in the competition for the rest of the month as the points are incorrect, competitiors have losers stated as non runners, i had a winner stated as a non runner. Those who napped losers and got awarded non runners are not going to complain. I feel you can`t run any competition with the wrong information or wrong points, it is not fair. John.
I don`t know if all of the race meetings were down on this system yesterday, but the competitors who napped and there horse lost , but were awarded with a non runner, unfortunetly for those who napped a winner like myself and was awarded a non runner, it has ruined the June competition.(it is not cricket). John.
hi Jason,
It is says any problems put them on this page, not sure if anyone is editing this page. Napped `Yiryab` 4.00 pm Leicester it finished at 6/4, it shows under my name at 16/1 also as a non runner, it was a winner, so an obvious error. If you can check please, Thank you. John.
No champagne tonight as Arrest did not fire in the Derby, but backed Frankie in the next race Prosperous Voyage a winner, that`s racing for you. John.
Johnn
Hi Mr T,
I wrote a bit about Frankie earlier concerning his last season riding as a tip to people who are interested in betting/racing and he has not done so bad so far,if i may say so some nice winners he has had. I backed him on Arrest for the Derby ante post at 16/1 now favourite at 11/4. Ithink most of horse racing fans will watch the Derby,it`s a national institute .Years ago Parliment was closed Derby day, but maybe big races are not your cup of tea. There are plenty of meetings to pick from when Frankie is not riding. I follow top trainers/jockeys , it makes sense if you are backing horses with money. I guess some people are not interested in racing as a hobby, but i am,and try and put some of that knowledge on this page, with horses i have found as tips. Maybe some are interested &some are not. John.
The Scots wanted Robert The Bruce to be there king, but the English would have none of it. What a day for Frankie Dettori, Coronation Cup/The Oaks, Lets hope he can get the Derby under lock & key ( Arrest) Saturday. I think Frankie should be King of the Jockeys or the Italians, It wont happen like Robert the Bruce. Com-on -Com-on Frankie ,i will be shouting at the television in the Derby. Will you Mr T. ?.
Hi Mr T,
I don`t think my pun about a spider, you understood it, Robert the Bruce was watching a spider climbing in a cave and it kept falling enentually he climbed to the top, that is why i said horses names with spider in them get on them in June (Robert the Bruce) or the A-team to pick em. John.
Mr T, if only you had waited to see what others were doing you would have won.
Hi MR T,
If you see any horses in June with the name (Spider in them get on them). Robert the Bruce would know. John.
Well,
as Robert The Bruce once said, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try & try again. If you don’t know who he was then you should pay more attention at school.Roll on next month
Hi Mr T,
Unlucky you got chinned on the line, by fractions, good efford all the same to finish 2nd in the Competition to Dotties Dreamers. Colin Avoided the wooden spoon by one place. Better luck for June boys. John.
Mr T, you can afford a tip today cos anyone wanting to beat you will have to find a winner. I see wingy waited and waited until last couple of races. He wont today, but good luck today for anyone with an interest. That doesn’t include me as I couldn’t tip a dustbin this month. Will get things sorted for next month. Yes MrT, i remember Brian Statham, he’s the bowler who was nearly as good as Fred Trueman.
Colin,
I may have found a runner tomorrow.It is going at Hamilton. It will need a bit more homework but it is out of one of my followed sires.
Colin,
In the end I kept a wicket in hand. Fancy you knowing a Lancashire cricketer, you will be remembering Geoff Puller & Brian Statham next. Well at least Wingy has given me a bit of breathing space, although I am struggling to find a runner again for tomorrow. I hate this time in the calendar when there are five or six meetings each day. Roll on September when turf night racing finishes.
Mr T, wingy is a gentleman. He’s letting you go first.
Paul only tips Gosdens.
Having looked at the table, in theory anyone down to Amito1814 could land top spot. I am just glad that Mr {16/1} Hindmarsh is not amongst them,
Colin,
You did not mention that John was putting in a strong run on the inside rail I will have to hope he gets boxed in on the final day
Hi Colin,
If he don`t win the Competition,I hope he don`t set the A team on the winner, don`t panic Mr Mainwaring, D`ont panic. Good luck to who ever wins it. John.
Come on Mr T, you’ve been trying for years to win this competition, but it’s in your grasp. Take a tip from somebody who’s won it a few times. Wait till near end of day and see if your danger man has tipped a loser, if he has, don’t post anything. If you tip a loser you will be second, so wait to see what he does. He will be waiting for you to tip a loser, then he won’t post. Do a Cyril Washbrook and keep your wicket in hand. Not very often a Yorkshire man shouts for a Lancastrian, but for once I’m shouting for you.
Hi Colin
Bluestocking out of oaks, so left a little money with the bookie, she is entered in the ribbersdale Ascot 22nd so a chance to get my money back. There is pretty good vibes from John Gosden also Frankie concerning Arrest in his work this week , so hopefull Frankie can win the Derby with him i am on at 16/1 E/W. Good Luck. John.
Keep getting too many placed. one I tried to post won about 11/1 but page had closed when I tried to put it on although race hadn’t started.
Colin, you will have to get your finger out?. Otherwise the wooden spoon is coming your way in the competition, saying that i am not doing all that well in the Competition. On Frankie L15`s Haydock today.Also L15 o`brien at the Curragh . Good Luck. John.
Bluestocking beaten a head in fillies trials, she should strip fitter from that run and hopefully spot on for oaks in June. John.
Hi Colin,
Perfect conditions Newbury Saturday ,good to firm. The Juddmonte owners have some nice runners,one been Bluestocking in the fillies trial also Frankie has rides for them. I will be doing them in the l15s bets. Watching on TV, shouting Co`mon Frankie Co`mon Frankie, lets see them flying dismounts. Good Luck. John.
Keep em coming Frankie ,winners/flying dismounts/money in your (sky rocket) Pocket. Grazie.
Hi Colin,
I have Arrest & Bluestocking in E/W singles. 16/1&14/1. I am using the Frankie factor as it his last season. Frankie is riding horses out of Frankel, who was a super horse in his own right, he has produced some smart horses. Pointers to watch, Frankie has never won the July Cup 15th July also needs 3 more wins Newmarket to make 500 wins there. I am backing him in all his big race mounts. When you see him do the flying dismount you know it is like money in your bank account. Good Luck. John.
HI john, looks like you got a good bet with Arrest. Hope you have the double as well. System works but not much racing in Ireland and Dundalk finished till august. Had 40quid on Real Deal at 4/1 today. Now about 6/4 so fingers crossed. Crap in competition and going to lakes Sunday till next Friday , so not be bothering much.
Hi Colin,
As i said earlier i am following Frankie, backed him today Oaks June 2nd Bluestocking 14/1 also Epsom Derby Arrest 16/1 both e/w. They are running this week in trials , Arrest Wednesday/Bluestocking Saturday . What happened to the system you invented?. It is not working at present. Mind you i am not having any luck in the Competition. John.
Hi Colin,
Had Frankie in a e/w lucky 15. Frankies three 2nd 9/1-3rd 7/2 and a winner 13/2 and a loser . Frankie hit the crossbar with Saga beaten a head. Saga will have his day in the sun, maybe royal Ascot, with a bit of luck. Gold Link got 2nd but did not back him. I did not renew my yearly contract with him. I have renewed my yearly contract with Richhill it only cost peanuts, but great fun and an interest to be involved with the horse. Backed frankie at 15/1 on Leezoo 3-40 Newmarket e/w. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Richhill has gone on holiday to Equi-Prep, when he is back from holiday`s his target will be the bigger obstacles, he came back from his last hurdle safe&sound, so Briget thinks he will be a better horse chaseing. Gold Link is entered Uttoxeter Saturday 2.40pm, He has been of for nearly 2 years, i terminated my contract with him, so no information on him now, he might go okay as the stable is in form. It might be worth keeping an eye on Frankie in the big races as this is his last year in the saddle, hopefully he goes out on a high. Good Luck. John.
Plenty of previous winners in race, so will have to be useful to win.
Hi Colin,
Are you still there?. Richhill racing Friday at Southwell your neck of the woods, 6.50pm race, he is fresh/fit well/ so hope he goes well, it is a trappy little race, but he has been there and done it, so hope for the best. John.
Booomm!!! Once More For Luck (IRE) WINNER
Mr T, I know that , didn’t look till Sunday and nothing was showing. Only backed one horse in national. Ten quid on nose at 11/1 in Ladbrokes. Thought it was stuck on after Cheltenham with not having a penalty. Posted it as a tip on Friday so maybe they don’t register if you don’t do it on the day. Anyway my bat and ball are in the cupboard until May.
Colin,
There is an easy way to check if your selection has been recorded.
Place your selection
Go into the League Table & look at your selections for that month
If your selection has been recorded it will show you. No need to worry about it being visible to other players as it will not, it is only visible to yourself.
Hope this helps
Hi Colin
Sorry to hear you have thrown the towel in for this month, you will have to tweek that system you invented also recharge your batteries and come out fighting with winners for the month of May. Richhill not racing yet, was entered Wednesday but not running at Cheltenham. John.
Berliet Express an Ricky Bobby. I prefer former.
fiver ew returned 17 quid
Rathnaleen Glory
Posted national winner for my tip yesterday. Posted it Friday so I wouldn’t change my mind. Hasn’t registered so taking my bat and ball home and wont bother rest of month.
money back. Had trouble posting and they had covered a circuit when I got it on.
TANGO THEATRE
John, there’s hardly been any qualifiers lately as there hasn’t been much irish jump racing and only i meeting at Dundalk. Next time there’s a qualifier I will post in on here before it runs. You’ll probably miss it bot you can check the time I posted it cos I think the time shows up.
Hi Colin,
The system you posted on the 18th March, that woul`d cost hundreds of pounds and you posted it free on this page. In theory with your system you should be top of the Competition, from your eight selections , eight losers , thats the system the bookmakers like all losers, afraid to say the bookie is always the winner. I guess it is back to the drawing board for you & your system. Good Luck. John.
Bet Paul is top of competition come tonight.
Hi Colin,
Had Sagaa E/w at 20/1 ante post for lincoln backed in to 14/1 then taken out Thursday due to soft ground, Benoit Sayette was due to ride him ,as it happened he was put up on Migration who won the Lincoln at 18/1, just my luck. This young French Jockey is good with a 3lb claim. i think he will end up Gosden`s first jockey when Frankie retires this year. Richhill was due to run Monday but taken out due to soft ground also more rain expected next week. You were unlucky in the Competition as you had a commanding lead with a couple of weeks to go, but good result finishing 2nd.I live in Knaphill it is a village a couple of miles from Woking Town. Good Luck for April. John. I will back Saga another time ,when he runs on better ground, i think he has a good race in him.
Hi John. been at Blackpool this week and a couple from Woking were there. I managed a quick word with him and they came from Knaphill. Don’t know how far that is from you. Had a bit of land with 3 horses on it, maybe ex racehorses. Couldn’t find a winner lately in comp. Only needed a 7/4 shot last night but didn’t manage it. Backed winner of 6-40 at Wexford but waited for 7-10 has had a tip but it finished 3rd. Not to worry finished 2nd. As we say it’s only a bit of fun, but everybody tries to win.
Hi Colin,
I think you are glued to the perch only a few days to go if you can hold on in the competition. I am finding it difficult to find a winner at present. Backed Saga e/w at Betfred at 20/1 4places quarter odds, in the Lincoln Saturday 1st April. Backed him last year at Royal Ascot he was beaten a short head, he has been gelded ,he might go okay if the ground dont get too soft/heavy. Richhill entered Monday 3rd April Ludlow 4.00pm -2 mile 5furlong ,that distance should suit him hopefully. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
I bet in the betting shop saturdays , there seems better deals then online. The betting shop in the town near me gives best odds from 8am all day Irish/English races that is Betfred , there is a PP near them also WH shop in the same street so competition between them, Betfred the best at present. Richhill not racing the 22nd ground soft at Warwick. Good Luck. John.
pp doesn’t pay me best odds on any bets. Drew the money out yesterday and told them to get stuffed. Wont bet with them again.
Hi Colin ,
I done two l15s Saturday with Paddy Power. The horses you picked comes up on the right side of page & under your picked horses a yellow caption comes up saying best odds on each of the four horses you have picked. I do not know about single bets with PP. I only use PP online if i am not well or too lazy to drive into town Saturdays, I know normally bet with betfred shop best odds all day Irish/English racing , singles /L15s . Keep picking the winners. John.
John, just tried Paddy Power again and had a fiver on Dubai Days at 15/4. It won at 4/1 but they only paid me 23.75. Anyway I’ll draw it out and won’t bet with them any more. Stick to 365.
Two bets today. 3-05 Huntingtown 33s at lunchtime finishes 3rd at 12/1 and 4-50 Killinure Lass 20/1at lunch wins at 10/1. A system like this would cost hundreds of pounds. You’ve got it for free. I sent the first one in for my tip. Silly me.
Anybody trying out what I posted earlier would have had just one bet today. Bugscuffle in the 2-30 at Down Royal was 22/1 at lunchtime and opened up at 12s. I should have said back them ew cos they pay at least 4 places. Anyway this one took the lead coming to 2 from home, but made a bad jump. It ran on to be third. Anybody backing it would have shown a profit. Obviously they dont all win but one winner in six would be ok, and they do win regularly. Sent it in for my tip today, so it let me down.
Hi Colin,
Had bravemansgame e/w finished 2nd so a profit, also some of the Mullins horses l15s, so did not lose at the festival . The way you are picking the winners in the Competition, i might have to throw the towel in HA-HA. Good Luck. John.
John, what you have to do is write down the price of every horse in handicaps in Ireland, Do this before noon, then, when the market opens 10 mins before the race, any horse that was at least 20/1 and opens a maximum of 12/1 get on.
John,You told me to brush up so I have done. If you want a good system, it is follow the money in Ireland. Especially Dundalk and handicap hurdles.
Hi Colin,
What a remarkable turn around from February , you must be swotting with the form book every night, HA-Ha, looks like you have the competition sown up for March. Richhill entered Warwick 22nd March 2-15pm race. John.
John. I’ve told you before, I know what I’m talking about and Paddy Power doesn’t give me Best Odds on line. I got good odds once or twice on horses that started a bit short, so they stopped my best odds. They didn’t close my account, but I did it for them.
Mr Coffey finished 3rd in the 5-30pm at Cheltenham at 11/1, he is proving a hard horse to win with, I had him e/w at 10/1 , so a small profit. John.
Hi Colin,
As far as i know Paddy Power are doing best odds, as i have an account with them. The best odds start from 8am ,Irish/English horse racing online, don`t know about there shop rules. But definetly best odds online. John.
Had a Paddy Power account but they wouldn’t give me best odds so I closed it.
Hi Colin,
No one has knocked you off your perch yet, you are doing okay. Just a mention anybody with a Paddy Power online account wil get a £5 free bet 14/15/16 three days £5 a day, i will be taking full advantage of that as i have a Pp account on line. Good luck for the Cheltenham Festival, i will be watching on TV for 4 days, the joys of been retired. Mullins horses look good for Cheltenham , done some in l15s last Saturday. Good luck with your bets. John.
Well Done Colin, Keep it up. Top of the pops. John.
Brushed up
Hi Colin,
I guess you will have to brush up on the form, as you have won the wooden spoon February . March will be a hard month with the Cheltenham Festival trying to pick winners. I have backed Bravemansgame (Gold Cup 10/1 E/W also Mr Coffey in the last race first day Cheltenham 10/1 E/W he is due a win. Richhill is having a rest putting his feet up as the last two races were close together. so having a little rest. Best of luck for March. John.
Booomm!!! Tanganyika WINNER
Hi Colin,
As Richhill was a skinny price also carring a 7lb penalty and racing at a shorter distance ,i did not post it on this page also odds on , he finished 2nd, I think weight also distance stopped him. John.
Hi John, see your Richill is running today.
Backed Richhill for the Ballymore hurdle March !5th 1.30pm at 66/1 with Ladbrokes E/W . Most firms ar going non runner money back for the Cheltenham Festival 2023. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
I know Muftakker is retired also nine years old, i am suprised you did not try him hurdling/chaseing as national hunt horses are at there prime 8 to 9years old. The life of a racehorse is 25 to 30 years life span. Richhill ran well enough as he had been of for 5 weeks wind surgery, he got tired but held on to win,so hopefully more improvement to come. Richhill entered Warwick Saturday also entered Exeter Sunday 12th Febuary. John.
Hi Colin,
Not caught on the run still here, the competition is not that important to me as there is no prize money, i treat it as a bit of fun as i am retired and have more time to spare, all the same it is not easy to win, in the previous months i came close. Scraped in like Richhill but thats all that counts. Richhill is entered at the Cheltenham Festival March 15th Ballymore hurdle grade 1,i will be backing him big price this time ,at may be tilting at windmills,but if you are not in it you can`t win it. Good Luck. John.
Maybe not. Just looked. You’ve done well with 13 winners.
John, why should anybody spin me a yarn, Muftakker needed an operation, then another 2 months later. Both would have been a total above 3 grand. Then another break before he could run. Due to his age, not operating was the best option. Glad Richill won for you and sorry you appear to have been caught on the run in in the monthly comp.
Hi Colin,
I think someone was spinning you a yarn about Muftakker would be off for six months as you said he needs wind surgery, Richhill was off for 5 weeks then back to work. I know owning a horse you get the same bills as leasing it, you were leasing the horse not owning it. As the fellowship group took over leasing. Anyway maybe best for the horse he has retired. Had a good month backing the Skelton horses winners no bullshit & the icing on the cake Richhill won for us. Keep kicking. John.
Hi Colin,
The bookies pay out on winners, your remark i dont like these sorts,your tip in the race finished sixth ,the bookies dont pay out on them . Richhill won. it`s a pity you were not on it, i was a small lump. Money in your pocket not the bookies satchel. John.
Hi Colin,
I have backed it William hill at 4/5 and Paddy power at 1/2. I have to back it as i have a share in it, to try to get some of my money back. I guess you backed Muftakker when he run, you stick with your own horse. There is no point in backing other horses in the race,it goes against the grain. Sorry to hear Muftakker has retired ,i guess all good things come to a end,also he won. The horse i had years ago got sold at the sales for a small ammount she had a leg injury, the same as you i was glad to get out of it a big expense. Hope richhill can win it today. Good Luck. John.
John, see Richhill running today. 1/2 in Racing post and now 4/5. Don’t like those sort. Top one looks a good ew shout. Muftakker has been retired. John said it would need two expensive ops then 6 months off so given horse to vet who loves him to bits. always been the plan, so has a good home. Gave me a great thrill and brought tears to my eyes when he won. An expensive hobby these days and wont venture into again unless I have a very big win somewhere.
Hi Colin,
I put details up about Richhill as you did with Muftakker as a bit of interest as nobody writes anything about horses on this page. Anyway Richhill declared Sunday 29th January 3.35pm Southwell ,he is ready to rock `n` roll. Good Luck. John.
Two more entries Richhill,
Sunday 29th January 3.05 Southwell/ Monday30th January 2.35 Huntington, Hope he gets a run soon & Dan picks the right race to win. John.
Hi Colin,
Richhill n/r Friday, Trainer not happy with ground. Next entries Newcastle Tuesday 31st January 2.20pm & 3.20pm. John.
Booomm!!! Northern Spirit WINNER
Hi Colin,
Richhill Declared Friday 27th January Docaster 2.05pm. As i said earlier on this page he has had wind surgery, but he will be wearing a tongue strap. He is ready to rock`n`roll , the ground is a factor, so Dan will run him only if he is happy with the ground as it is frozen in places. It is a class 3 so a little hot race. Hope for the best that he finishes in front of the rest. John.
Hi Colin,
Richhill entered Friday 27th at 2.05pm at Donny , weather permitting . Know more near race time. John.
Hi Colin,
If i remember reading on this page a long time ago ,you recommended to Jason to put a cap on the prices to 16/1, so it is swings & roundabouts for those tipping 25/1 -33/1 etc. These big price winners are very rare to find, sticking a pin in the race card in a class 6 races. I have not backed a big price winner in years, last one Youknowwhatimeanharry 016 -25/1 a nice win ante post. Statistics show very few back of these price winners win regulary. I am up near the top of the competition , it is just a bit of luck. I study horses as a hobby also bet with the bookie Saturdays . Good Luck you are on my tail. John.
Doing well in comp John. Watch that bloke in 3or 4. He tipped a 28/1 today but only gets 15/1. Be searching tomorrow.
Breathing problem. That’s why he had a tongue tie. Thought it would help but it didn’t. Looks like a wind op. All expense. Glad i’m out of it but still hope it wins again.
Hi Colin,
Sorry to see Muftakker tailed of & pulled up, he is not getting any younger a good age for a flat horse nine. Hope it is not tendon problems, as it could be the end of his racing days also retirement beckons him, anyway he won a race for you. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Good to see Muftakker is racing Friday, I notice another group have taken over the lease of the horse, anyway i hope he runs well and wins . Good Luck. John.
Muftakker running Friday. As you know I don’t own him now, but going to Southwell to watch him run. Don’t expect him to win his first race for 18 months, but I’m sure he’ll win again if his legs keep sound.
Booomm!!! Nolton Cross (IRE) WINNER
Mr T,
The persons naps now show a winner which was not there before. Wont be long until Cheltenham. I backed Bravesmansgame for the Gold Cup at 9/1 with Paddy Power last Tuesday. A lot of firms are doing ante post non runners money back,good for those that like an early bet. John.
John,
As you have probably worked out the persons naps you asked me to look at have been rectified and his results now look correct.
John,
I am not ignoring you, I actually responded last night but my reply has not been posted for some reason. I am waiting for the League Standings to update before I fully respond again.
Hi Mr T,
Your are pretty knowledge able on the Competition table. Punting 4 profit shows he has 4 losers and one winner Fringill Dike at Doncaster 3-00pm Doncaster 11/1/23 but this horse was a non runner, so out of 5 naps he should have 4 losers also a N/R. It shows he has 2 winning points. None of it makes any sense,what do you think?. John.
This one from Meydan:
– 17:30h Acklam Express (IRE) EW @23.00
Some of Dans horses are not performing, so he is having a quiet week . Richhill has had a flu jab , the trainer thinks he will race the end of January. Dan thinks he is a nice horse, so want him right when he runs. John.
Happy New Year to you Colin & John and anybodtyelse who plays the competition.
Hi Colin,
I guess you were the unlucky loser of the competition ,as you say a 10/1 not registered , in theory you should be winner. Andy cap won it , is he from the daily mirror Ha-Ha. News years day racing on tv Cheltenham/ Musselburgh should be good. Happy new year to everyone. Keep Kicking/Keep backing the winners. John.
Hi Colin,
I hope you go on to win the competition, as you say a 10/1 winner did not register. I doo agree quality horses win races, it is not very often that the 16/1-33/1 pop up ,only in lower grade races class 6. But saying that i had the 4th in the Welsh National at 33/1 just over 8/1 for a place. As entries go the trainer is employed to decide the best races to enter with a view of a win, that is his job and Dan Skelton is pretty good with his entries also getting winners. Good to hear Muftakker will be back racing and hope he wins for you. Keep Kicking. Onwards & upwards for the new year. John.
Seems to waste a lot of money on entries. I only made entries when I intended to run. Went to see Muftakker last week and he’s a lot lighter grey now. He should be out early in January, but should need at least a run before expecting anything. I’m sure he’ll win again. Think he’s 9 on 1st Jan but he’s had an easy life, so should have something left. Trying in that competition, but having a 10/1 not registering is a big handicap. John’s done well with 10 winners, but it’s quality not quantity that’s needed. Have a prosperous New Year everybody.
Hi Colin & everyone that reads this page. Richhill is not racing the 29th as he is just not right, he is coughing , so it looks like January for next run. There is a lot of colds/flu about , i have had it for the last couple of months with a chest infection. Bravemansgame won at 11/4 i had him backed ante post at 2/1, had Truckers Lodge backed at 33/1 e/w four places quarter the odds , so a profit was made, hope you backed the 2 of them, Truckers Lodge was fourth inished at 12/1 well backed. Hope you all had a nice Christmas. John.
Richhill now entered 29th at Kelso. Good Racing Kemptom Boxing day , Happy Christmas. John.
Hi Colin,
There is a change in plan Richhill is entered at Market Rasen 12-30 26th December also Newcastle 1-25 26th December, he will race at one of these venues . In the Competition i think everyone would like to win it fair & square as ladies/gentelmen as it is only a bit of fun & no money involved. A pity your winning nap did not register, all you can doo is to win it now. Christmas Greetings. John.
Merry Christmas and Good luck everyone in the Competition.
Had there been prize money at stake I would have been peeved at not having a winner credited but as it is we are all playing for the pride of leading the competition at month end. I would fall back on that Yorkshire spirit of yours and tell yourself that you will win this month.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the tipping comp is a waste of time. I know there is no prize money but everybody tries their best, but when some tips register and some don’t it’s a bit of a lottery whether they’ll register or not. Anyone can click on my list of tips and see I tipped a horse on the 14th and see I tipped a winner. That winner was 10-31[I think], meaning I should be credited with 9 and a bit points which would move me to the top. I appreciate there’s plenty of time left and somebody may have suffered the same fate as me. whichever way I look at it, is it worth bothering?
Hi Colin,
I think what you have to beware of is that you are loged in at all times. You can go through the motions of posting nap, i have done this and found the nap you think that has won has not registered , the system logs you out sometimes and you have to log in again. Dan says Richhill is in rude health, so expecting a decent run. Seasons greetings to you all and best of luck whatever you back over Christmas. John.
Can anybody explain to me how the person that updates the tipping competition can register 10 losers without a mistake, then when a 10/1 winner is tipped, it doesn’t register, even though it’s still in my list of naps. Packed in once before and heading that way again. Merry Christmas again.
Hi Colin,
Latest bit of news Richhill is entered at flos-Las Thursday 22nd December. He is back from a wind operation, ready to rock `n`roll , lets hope he can improve on his first run under rules where he finished 3rd. Fingers Crossed , the best of luck. John.
Asthere is no racing, it is a good oppurtinity to wish every one a good Christmas& a happy New year. I have backed PP Bravemansgame King George v at 2/1 also Truckers Lodge Welsh National at 33/1 4places quarter the odds with WH. Shoul`d be good racing next weekend onwards ,as the weather is getting milder also rain forecast. Good Luck Colin/Mr T/also everyone in the Competition . I see Frankie Dettori is retiring 2023, a character the sport will miss. John.
Tipped a winner on Wednesday but not showing in table. If I click on my selections its still there. Hope everybody is getting through this cold spell and while i’m here i’d like to wish everybody a lovely Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
Booomm!!!
Sorry to see you missed your holiday, John. Worse things happen, as long as you make a recovery. That’s all that matters.
Hi Mr T,
It would have been about 25 degrees Cancun Mexico. I had a cold that lead to a severe chest infection, so the Doctor said i could not fly. Anyway i will get my money back from the insurance. Hopefully now next year for abroad holidays health permitting , that`s life. Keep tipping/keep kicking. John.
Hi Colin,
Did not make it to Mexico due to illness , chest infection, anyway you are in contention 3rd from the top. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Not an easy game betting, that`s why there are rich bookies. Perseverance is the game in the ups &downs of betting . I have a stinking cold at present, hopefully it goes by next week, as i am off to a warmer climate Mexico on the 24th November. So give the horses a rest. Richhill has had a wind op , so hope he improves next run , so keep an eye on him i might be away when he runs. Dan reckons he has a race in him. Best of luck. John.
Hi John, luck still out. Had 3 quid ew on Micronormus 16/1 in last. It weakened a bit so I cashed out and got nowt. Worse still, I sent it in for my tip and changed it to well backed Danson. What can you do.
Booomm!!! Gabrial The Devil (IRE) Wins 🙂
Hi Colin,
I had written in since your last posting about 5 times mostly about Richhill , he finished 3rd at 22/1 all them postings are still on there, maybe you did not see them. Torquay the west country , went there many years ago , a popular place for surfers then ,maybe still the same, a nice place by the sea. I am off on the 24th to Cancun Mexico all been well, the temp there about 25 degrees that will suit me warmer then the Uk climate. The jump season is under way, Cheltenham next weekend. Good Luck with the horses & have a nice holiday. John.
Hi John, looking at the posting, I’m sure some are missing as I’m sure you had written in, but when I looked again, they’ve all gone. Having a poor run at the moment and going to Torquay tomorrow so good chance to give ’em a rest and recharge my batteries.. Back for Saturday see if Jarold is catchable. He keeps finding some good uns.
Booomm!!! Roudemental (IRE) Wins 🙂
Booomm!!! Proschema (IRE) Wins 🙂
Hi Colin,
Richhill did not run a bad race considering it was a first hot race for him, was in the lead coming to the last, Got beaten run in. His breathing was noisy at times in race, so it looks like a wind operation, they think he is a nice horse. I backed him in the morning at Betfred shop at best odds and he finished 3rd at 22/1, had him e/w an amazing price & showed a nice profit. John.
Booomm!!! Catherine Chroi (IRE) Wins
Hi Colin,
Update Richhill 12-55 Chepstow . Dan says the cut in the ground will suit him, it is a tough start for him , as Henri the Second is a listed winner also other bumper winners in race so tough opposition , So will no more after race , i am backing him e/w , i guess the price will be around 10/1. Good Luck. John.
Booomm!!! Sounds Of Spring (IRE) Wins 🙂
Hi Colin,
The entry Richhill has changed to 12-55 Chepstow Tuesday 25th October 2022. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin, See you are back in action in the competition also bronzed and refreshed from your holiday in Greece . Richhill is entered Chepstow 1-25pm Tuesday 25th October, he is fit and ready to rock `n ` Roll. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
I had Emily Upjohn , backed in the Arc but was a non runner, lost £10, anway last Saturday she bolted in easy. had her with pp £5 win 3/1- Betfred £5 win at 3/1- £20 win William Hill at 7/2 and in my l15 at 9/2 and Kinross 4/1. Not a fortune but a nice win, towards my holiday fund. As i am not rocking on the Perch , and you have been out for a week, i am not posting for a while so you have a chance of catching up. As a gesture of good sport. Hope you had a good holiday. John.
Hi Colin.
Well you are not far behind me in the Competition, so i guess it is likely you knock me of my perch. I backed Commisioning three times , three wins, she is entered i the 1,000 guineas ,was thinking about ante post but she is very short at 6/1, for a race next year, so i will leave it until near race time. That win you had should cover your holiday & another one to follow. Enjoy the hols , also the Greek weather. Good Luck. John.
Haven’t seen you for a while ,John, but I just had a look at the competition and whose name should be at the top. A certain John King. I thought to myself “have a look at the messages, John will have put something” and as if by magic, there you are. Enjoy your holiday in Mexico and when I get back from Greece I’ll try and knock you off your perch.
Well done Colin,
That win should keep you in Ouzo & grub for the week in Greece also euros in your pocket, spending money. I try to find a horse to find every year to follow, in the past. This year i found Commisioning first time out early betting 11/1 , he has won twice more last week a group 1 , first group 1 winner for Rav Havlin. a good horse and there is more to come. Enjoy the holiday got to be warmer then the UK.I am off next Month Mexico. Good Luck. John.
Managed to beat you John. Had a £1 lucky15 and all 4 won on Wednedsday. 7/2,7/2,4/1 and 9/1. Going to Greece on Tuesday for a week, so just come in handy. Can’t do owt in competition. unlucky 2nd yesterday but cant get a winner, keep trying.
Hi Colin,
I Had three up l15- Chaldean 2/1- Above the curve 5/1- Kinross 6/5 and Haskoy 2nd he got demoted to 4th 9/2. Lost Saturday but made a profit over the weekend. There seems to be always one that lets you down for a big pay out. But if you can keep your head above water , it is enjoyable , that`s lifebouy HA-HA. Good Luck. John.
John, get up to date. That started with a couple at the pictures when he said “get this in your palmolive” and she said “not on your lifebouy”. Not doing too bad lately. Narrow miss couple of weeks ago when a 2 length leader in the last furlong lost in a photo. Picked up 270 quid but cost me three and half grand. Lucky one day.
Hi Colin,
Good to hear you had a good holiday, as the winter has set in the UK with plenty of rain. I am off again to Mexico this time November temp 25 degrees that will do me. Richill is working well , should race after mid October. As you know there is no certainly in life , but i think he will win 2022 . Dan says his wind is good, he is working in deep sand gallops which strengthens there legs also he is a point to point winner, just got to do it under rules. Your unlucky with Liverpool , A fellow was having a shower,then there was a scream , his wife shouts up to him what happened, he shouts back slipped up on the soap, she shouts up that`s lifebouy. Good Luck. John.
Hi John, had a lovely holiday but have to admit I’m a bit of a jinx when it comes to betting. Best example is look at poor old Liverpool. Since I said they were pinching money to win the premiership on handicap and look what they’ve done. They have had a lot of injuries but no excuses. Catch you later.
Hi Colin,
Enjoy the rest of your holiday at the lakes, while the good weather lasts, the forecast is rain mid week , been beautiful weather , good summer weather, can`t complain. The ebor meeting next week, good racing. Happy hols. John.
It’s hard to believe, but bookmakers are giving money away. All you have to do is go into a betting shop and back Liverpool ew [4 places] at 15/1[I got 16s on line at Ladbrokes] to win the premiership in the handicap. Man city are scratch and Liverpool 5 points start with the others getting various points start. The only danger is Man city. Fill your boots and go in next May to collect your winnings.
Hi Colin,
Nice to hear you had a good holiday, I am not doing very well in the Competition,but had a win Saturday where it matters . Done lucky 31 50p win at Betfred ,they do one winner 4times the odds Lucky 31 – had commisioning 11/1- trawlerman 6/1- love de vega 5/1 all won annd a 2nd fox degree at 9/4 best odds collected £363-50p just the ticket after the holiday. It will be the beginning of next year Gold Link will run, but he is coming on okay. Richhill the new share hopefully he will run in October Dan says. Going to Mexico November for a week all inclusive. Glad Mufftaker is coming on okay. Good Luck. John.
Hi John, nice to hear from someone. Had last week in blackpool and going to lakes on 14th for a few days. Been to see Mufftaker this morning. He is a lot lighter grey now, but having come in from the field he looks like a big bull. John says it will be end of november before he runs.
Hi Colin,
Back from my holiday Monday. Going by what you said about your betting luck, things can only get better. Good racing Saturday Ascot etc . I fancy Emily Upjohn in the big race, could be a stepping stone towards the Arc in France October, anyway Good Luck with the betting. John.
Hi John and anybody reading, I hope you are all well. I’ve had a terrible couple of months betting wise. probably the worst spell of my life. Glad to say I have picked up these last three days. Went to Beverley Saturday and won a few quid yesterday and then had a decent day today. I haven’t sent a tip in this month cos I have been that peed off, but today I had a £10 free bet with 365 and put it on Present Storm at 14.s in the last at Worcester. Tried to send it in for my tip but was on my phone rather than my computer and somehow I couldn’t get it on. Would have taken me to the top. Not to worry. Got another tenner free bet in 7-30 at Rosscommon but will wait on the betting. Have good holidays everybody. My next one is 5 nights in Blackpool on 24th July. At about 44 quid a day, three meals, free bar 11am till midnight and great entertainment you cant beat it. You can have all your holiday abroad but I cant do with the hassle. Nearly forgot to mention, watch for American in Paris. Entered Thursday and Friday. Saw it run last time and should win. Wont be big price but ought to win.
Hi Colin,
Looks like we are the only two writing, don`t hear from Mr T or Paul these days. I have backed Incentivise E/W at 16/1 Melbourne Cup November 1st. I tipped up Max Dynamite (017) at 33/1 finished 3rd had him £10 E/W. I have bought a share in Richhill ,will be trained by Dan Skelton, Richhill is a point to point winner in Ireland, all been well he should be ready Autumn time for hurdling, Gold Link is still out, might not continue with him after October. They say there is no certain thing in racing. I am going abroad next week for two weeks and one certain thing is that the sun will shine everyday a great tonic. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Woods is not in the us open as his injuries are not fully healed. A small e/w on Brooks Koepka 40/1 10 places Paddy Power. Ascot Thursday the eight year old Stratavarius , hope he wins he will stay the distance but a tough call to win. Good Luck with the Golf &horses. John.
What about your golf John, is Woods giving it a miss. Had a fiver each way on Schauffele at 22s. adertised at 25s but only 22s when logging in. Chucked a couple of quid ew to be 1st round leader. think that was 33s. Need to be lucky.
Ascot Tuesday, anyone with Paddy Power online free £5 bet on Queen Anne stakes 2-30pm . The favourite is 1/6 on Baaeed he looks a penalty kick, but there again they sometimes miss, i guess the big hitters will be on him. John.
Now for Ascot. Doing well if you can win there. Posted a 5/1 winner in comp yesterday but it didn’t register. My fault really cos it was backed at the death and I was a bit late posting so not complaining.
Well done Colin,
Desert Crown romped in at 5/2 good result for you , there was big priced placed but not Glory Daze i got 125/1 with pp just a couple of pounds on at a big price , so not worried. John.
9/4 now.It.s a wonder for bookies to be giving money away.
Hi John, I think Desert Crown is a good thing in Derby. Had 20 quid at 7/4 but could get 15/8 today. Best odds anyway.
Hi Colin,
Nobody writing these days on this page concerning racing or anything else. Saturday derby day. I backed Derby winner Wings of eagles at 33/1 e/w and he flew in at 40/1, biggest racing odds upset in 43 years. I tipped him on this page 2017, doubt if i will ever back a Derby winner like that again. Glory Daze finished second to derby favourite and is a 100/1, he has a good draw better then some of the fancied ones. Could lightning strike twice , could be e/w material. What do you fancy in the derby?. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Still here. I think what defines the writers some will gamble on anything others will gamble on sports that are a hobby to them. As i have said on this page before Tiger Woods dont owe me anything as i had him when he won at 20/1. Not having a bet in the p g a. Tiger might be a bit past his best, hope i am wrong. Will be betting Saturday good racing England/Eire. Curragh classics , good ground brings good horses to the fore , it is just a matter of picking the right one`s . Good Luck in the P G A. John.
Where have all the writers gone. Suppose you are still alive and kicking John.Suppose you’ll be going into Paddy Powers and throwing your hard earned money on Tiger, but I cant see past Scheffler. I had a £3 double about 5 weeks ago on Scheffler to win this week and top 10 finish in all 4 majors. They were both about 14/1 and I stood to win nearly £600. I thought it was a good bet and 365 wrote to me this week and told me the bets were connected and the bet will be settled as two £1-50 singles. They are correct but it took 5 weeks to tell me. Not to worry, good luck with your betting and everyone else who reads this.
Smoking Gun fell at the first fence , just my luck a 40/1 shot won it. John.
Irish Grand National Monday , Paddy Power paying 6places. I have backed Smoking Gun e/w at 35/1 yesterday ,he has bottom weight likes the track course &distance winner, if he gets around should be there at the end with a bit of luck. Best of luck. John.
Knowwhatimeanharry finished 3rd ,played up before going into the stalls, broke fast led for four furlongs weakened out of it last furlong, he might win a small race, not as good as his name sake Youknowwhatimeanharry. john.
Youknowwhatimeanharry was a money spinner for me also others i guess anyway there is a follow up 2 year old at Lingfield 5-30pm . Knowwhatimeanharry, i have had a small E/w 15/2, he has run once and got tired last 2 furlongs, hope he is sharper today. Best of luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Well done ,you said you backed Scheffler in the masters E/W 18/1 good result. As i said i had £1 e/w at 50/1 Tiger Woods. I knew he had a tough task to win it or get placed,but like any bet if you are not in it you can`t win it. The critics said in 019 Tiger did have a very little chance of winning, but i had him £5 e/w at 20/1 and he won and i put it up on this page before the match. John
Why should I dislike Tiger Woods. I admire him for playing after his serious accident. He’s the best player ever to have played golf. I was commenting on what I considered his chances to win this masters event. He might come back and win again.
Hi Colin,
Fiddlerontheroof paid on 5th place had him at 16/1, had placed double l15 E/W 16/1-6/1. Had £5 on snow Leopardess she was pulled up. At the end of the day did not leave anything in the bookies satchel , got a little profit. John.
Hi Colin,
From your comments on Tiger Woods , I guess you don`t like him but what ever he is playing a remarkable game considering his severe leg injuries, there is still two days to go anything can happen i know you are on Scheffler the evens fav. I agree with what you say about betting lies, people who do that only fool themselves. Got Fiddlerontheroof E/W- 16/1- Snow Leopardess 10/1- E/W – Longhouse Poet E/W -16/1 in l15 also Belle Est Belle 8/1- Tea Clipper 6/1 – and Henri The Second 5/1 best odds + 3 times the odds one winner Paddy Power Shop. I have put these up backed them before the races begin, as no good been wise after the event. Best of luck with yours. John.
Hi John, I told you Woods should be 10,000 to 1. Don’t tell lies about betting, but I’ve had a fiver ew on Scheffler at 18/1 with Hills[only bet I had on golf]. Backed 12 and 39 in National. Bit ew and silly pound reversed f/c. Needs some luck.
Hi Colin,
Save your money, Knockare Katie is a non runner Thursday (Limerick Junction). The Tiger done me a favour not that long in the masters at 20/1, a winner , so he don`t owe me anything , he might again at 50/1 10 places, Masters starts Thursday just a bit of interest. Good Luck with the National Saturday, we all need a lot of luck in that. Hoping Fiddlerontheroof makes the first 5. John.
Is Woods playing again John. He should be 10,000 to 1. I know that horse is entered Thursday and it is two and a half so probably worth a bet. You have to get straight in but dont think 33s will be available. Will be lucky to get in because there are over 100 entries.
Hi Colin,
Exciting week ahead Masters Golf stating 7th , i have had a small E/W Tiger Woods at 50/1 -10 places one fifth the odds Paddy Power. Knackara Katie is entered at Limerick Junction Thursday Don`t know if he will run?. I have backed Fiddlerontheroof Grand National at 16/1 £5 E/W Paddy Power 5 places one fifth the odds. Aintree starts Thursday. Good Luck. John.
Colin,
Unlucky there. Bit different to a couple of months ago when you were packing it in.
Posted Porfin today but Wingy has popped in with big priced winner so i’ve changed to Rhubarb Bikini
John, watch for it at two and half miles. Infoe was genuine.
Hi Colin,
Looks like Knockraha Katie finished 7th today also backed from 9 to second favourite , i would not be optismistic in backing it in the future on todays running, you have to be careful with tips as sometimes the bookie spreads them to fill there satchel with easy money. Anyway bad luck if you backed it again. John.
Hi Colin,
You should have counteracted your non runner & had your money on Frankie. Aintree coming up soon. Skelton has his horses fighting fit for this meeting , the ones that did not run at Cheltenham are fresh. I will be on them like a swarm of flies around a turd. Good Luck. John.
knockraha katie has opened up 10/1. not good value so wont be backing. missed my big payout thursday.
The Japs dominated Meydan ,but Frankie`s four rides two wins (one dead heat) the other winner i had at 12/1 he had the four placed i had win & e/w l15 Naval Crown 16/1 Lord North (dh 6/1) -Piledriver 11/1 P- Country Grammer won 12/1. It filled my wallet up, did it fill yours?. It put these tips up yesterday. At 51 Frankie Dettori is as good as ever on the world stage . Colin, Knockraha Katie is Currently 20/1 In betting at Limerick Junction Sunday if you are backing it?. I will toast Frankie tonight. Well done if you were on. John.
I’m told the horse box broke down on Thursday. Tougher race on Sunday and only 2 miles. Missed the boat so probably not bother. My contact tells
me i would need 20/1 to be worth a bet. I think wait for a two and half miler. Ignore trainer, Adrian Mcguire trains it in his spare time.
Hi Colin,
Knockraha Katie is 20/1 for the Sunday race at Limerick Junction bottom weight, if she needs stoking up, the trainer Stokes looks like the man or is quirky the jockey Quirke will straighten her . What do you reckon does she have a chance?. I am on Frankie at Meydan L15 E/W four horses 16/1-6/1-11/1- 12/1 Paddy Power, worth a go with a small stake, Saturday 26th Quality horses at big prices. Best of Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
As Mr T says the horse is entered at Limerick Junction on Sunday 27th March, seems to be out of the handicap . Will the money be down Sunday?. John.
Colin,
I do not know if your informant has tipped this for it’s run this coming Sunday?
I suppose you are aware that it is over 11 years since the trainer had a NH winner. All the best.
Hi Colin,
A non runner, hope you got your stake back?. I did not back it it it looked a very open race, so we will never know if the coup would have been landed. John.
John, I saw 33s and dived.in Had tenner ew and a tenner win so fingers crossed. From what i’m told it will try to make all the running.
Hi Colin,
Knockraha Kate opened 40/1 now 8/1 ,looks like some one has had a wheelbarrow load on as defeat is out of the question , wish you the best of luck. John.
now 9s
Managed to get 33s. Now down to 14s.
Didn’t break any pots at Chelenham. They take some finding. Bit annoyed when I was having a tenner on A Plus Tard and my computer decided to pack in and I couldn’t get on. Had a mention for a horse in 3-55 at Cork tomorrow. Knockraha Katie. I will be on as soon as market opens later today.
Hi Colin,
No wins or losses at Cheltenham. Paddy Power returned non runner bets also cashed out Blaklion in National , got the full stake back on him, maybe he is a bit old 13 years for the marathon trip. He looked very tired in previous National trial race, i backed him then. I might be wrong. Good Luck. John.
Why do you still have gold medal players who have not contributed to your selection table for months. Time to kick them into touch.
Hi Colin,
Any luck Cheltenham today?. Paddy power are giving a £5free bet every day Cheltenham, I have taken advantage of that offer. But no luck today but lost nothing. I have 3 non runners in my ante post bets ,so money back on them. Will have a go Wednesday with free £5 bet again. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Your betting is good ,better then mine at present . Pleasant Man ran no sort of race and was pulled up. I hope he is taken out of the Triumph Hurdle, so i can get my money back as a non runner. I still have 2 going l15 Cheltenham & Grand National bets. No Luck on todays bets . John.
I’ll watch for them john. Finished today with 124-118.50. I’ve finished about my betting now but my record for this wek is 487-516, so 30 quid profit which shows I dont lose a load of money backing every day.
Hi Colin,
Yes Betfred do pay one winner l15 double the odds in my area, Backing horses you need all the best deals from the bookie you can get, that`s why i bet at Paddy Power 3 times the odds one winner also best odds all races England/Ireland from 8am every day. That`s my favourite bet l15s . Paddy Power all races Cheltenham any non runners are refundable which is fair play. Put these ante post horses on Tuesday Cheltenham- E/W l 15. – Allegorie De Vassy 25/1 ( supreme Hurdle) – Third Time Lucky 12/1 (Arkle) -Nube Negra-(Champion Chase) 10/1 – Tornado Flyer 12/1 (Gold Cup). If they come up i will spend the rest of my life laying on a beach in Barbados enjoying the sunshine. It is nice to dream but it is possible. Good Luck. John.
Hi John, meant to say before, but you are lucky Paddy Power pays treble odds one winner in a lucky 15 cos Betfred[the original bonus bookie] only pays double now[ he does round here anyway]. Not very good today 104-70 but a bad jump at 2nd last resulting in a photo cost me 44 quid. Laid one for 10 and one for 20 on exchanged. They came up so broke even on the day.
Hi Colin,
Well done with the winner for February . I mentioned earlier about finding a horse under the radar. I backed E/W pleasant Man 25/1 (Triumph Hurdle) at Paddy Power. It is the horses first run over hurdles Saturday Kempton in the Adonis , he stayed 1mile 6furlongs on the flat , so fingers crossed Saturday for prep race then the triumph hurdle. Good Luck. John.
Forgot to say. Sent my first winner for February in today. Plenty of places but no winners.
Better day today despite first three bets finishing second. 114-202.98. Had a 50p lucky and 50p acca 5 3 7 3 in1st 3rd 4th and 5th
another poor day 51-45.50 another photo cost me. had a 50p lucky and 50p acca last 4 at southwell 5 7 6 3
Hi Colin ,
You have a free choice Sporting Life/ Racing post sites exactly the same as the newspaper, with all the Race cards /tips/etc all free. My computor screen is 20″ wide x 12″ high, almost the same as the newspaper page so okay, but i guess if you are using a smart phone it would be a bit confined as not a lot of space to read. The other option is going in the betting shop, the Racing Post paper is on the table for everyone to read & the racecards on the wall boards free to look at. Good Luck. John.
John, test me this week and see if I know what I’m doing. Today 94 on 79.25 back. Unluckily lost 2 photos.
John, you need the paper to look at the form. I used to subscribe to Racing Oost but its not the same as having the paper in your hand.See that shitehawk won yesterday. cost me 66 quid for trying to be clever.
Hi Colin ,
A bit unlucky with Saturdays bet Blaklion but as you know i have him backed in the national at 66/1 so hope for the best. I hope you don`t mind me mentioning . You can get the racing post race cards also tips etc free , type in Racing Post and it will come up save buying the paper. I have a online account with Paddy Power & can watch all uk also Ireland races free but my Saturday bets i go to there shop as they give 3 times the odds one winner l15 but not on there online account. I watched the video last race at Newbury on the Paddy Power site Lookaway won at 5/2 I had £2 win on it at 85/40 it finished at 5/2 so okay best odds. Good Luck. John.
You was unlucky not to draw yesterday. When there were 4 left you looked sure to finish fourth but he was pulled up. why didn’t the jockey take his time and complete cos the 4th prize money was over £5000. John, backing horses is a hobby if you know what you are doing. I don’t profess to win but I dont lose money I cant afford. My biggest outlay is the Racing Post which
costs £27-60 each week. You cant back horses without the racing paper. This is what I have stupily done, I had a tenner each way at 13/2 on Lookaway in the last at Newbury. This morning I was thinking it was at Navan and when that was off, I was looking at my bets and they were offering £32 to cash out. I thought I would pull a fast one and cash out. Then I realised it was at Newbury and was now 13/8. I hope its not in the first 3.
Hi Colin,
All i can say Colin you must have plenty of money to lose backing horses 7 times a week as no one can beat the bookie?. Blaklion got pulled up when beaten on severe heavy ground also he was a bit high in the weights but no excuses , just hope he gets in the National at 10st-2lbs he is declared but so are 103 other horses ,so need 64 to drop out to get a run. John.
John, i only bet horses seven times each week. Monday to Sunday that’s the only times I bother.
Hi Colin ,
The bet is on , i put my money where my mouth is . Blaklion 14/1 e/w .Blaklion likes the heavy going and Haydock will be on i guess except if there is a storm ,then maybe not. As i said earlier i have backed Blaklion at 66/1 National e/w he is allocated 10st-2lb so might need a bit of luck to get in the allowed 40 runners, so that is why i backed him again for tomorrows race as hopefully a saver. Paddy Power is refunding all non runners on all races Cheltenham 22. From time to time i put up horses on this site as an interest . I don`t know if you are Mr T back horses but i certainly do . I invest small amounts at value prices, no value in fav`s . Good Luck. John.
Hi John, only about 8/1 so you have a decent bet if it’s on. [Mr T doubts it]. Don’t like the fact that it is 13yr old. Surely it will struggle against the young ones. Good luck.
Last Saturday, i backed Blaklion again at Paddy Power 14/1 E/W 4 places quarter the odds. The Grand National handicap trial Saturday 19th February . Best of Luck. John.
A lot of horses double booked at cheltenham at present, so will leave that for a short while. I fancy Blaklion for the National , backed him at 66/1 e/w, he finished 6th last year and was hampered, i think he has a E/W chance. He had 2wins in December so the ability is there, next prep race is Feb 19th so hope he goes well. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
I back big price horses at Cheltenham, i must admit it is a tough meeting, but quality horses race there, i back them e/w lucky 15s , you can get good value also 4 days televised entertainment , the buzz of the festival is good. Went there many years ago, a good experience even better if you have winners. I will be studying in the next couple of weeks to find value&horses under the radar. And pray for winners. Good Luck. John.
Competition only 3 days old and i’ve had 2 seconds at 6/1 and 15/1. Just as well I have all this bad luck otherwise I wouldn’t have any luck at all. As you say John Cheltenham just round the corner. Cheltenham ok, but a 3/1 winner at Fakenham is better than a 2/1 at Cheltenham.
Colin / John,
John, I do not live in the Yorkshire Dales. I do however have two sons and their families who live in the Western Dales which are next door to the Yorkshire Dales, in fact if they lived any further East they would be in Durham and we visit them quite often.
Colin, You are nearly correct. I do have a Manchester postcode but we are classed as being in another borough to whom we pay our rates to. If I lived about three miles Southwest, we would be in Cheshire.
Trust that clears it up for you.
Hi Colin,
I guess it would be difficult finding out where anyone comes from in the competition as they are using nick names, i always thought Mr T was from the Yorkshire Dales?. But who knows. Good racing just around the corner, Cheltenham Festival coming in March.
I dont know Popsie 52 from Adam but I know you’re from Manchester.
Colin,
I think you misread my last blog. I was always going with Mashkuur but did think about changing when Kingscote was replaced as jockey. That just about sums my luck up. Can I ask how you know that Popsie 52 is not a Northerner?
Well onwards & upwards to a new month.
Keep smiling.
Mr T, a 7/1 dead heat is a 3/1 winner but don’t know what price will be on betfair. Think you’ve just lost.
Popsie52,
Well done. You came up on the blindside just like a good winner does. Roll on next month.
Mashkuur wouldn’t have done you any good but your fancy in the last is best rated in racing post, so I hope it wins for you. Don’t know anything about the chap that’s leading and he has done well, but us northerners have to stick together.
Colin, You have read my mind there. I am worried that R Kingscote is not riding as he was down to ride this one horse tonight. I also like S William,s other horse in the 7.30 but this has been my choice all day so I will stick to it.
Mr T, if you haven’t posted one today, you need a 3/1 shot double quick. Mashkuur in the 6-30 might have a chance. I tried my best but not good enough. Two many seconds.
Mr T, if you care to check my results for this month you will see i’ve had at least 6 seconds at double digit prices. I know other people will have had the same luck, but i’ve been unfortunate this month. I’ll grab you before the end. Think John and Paul have cracked up.
Colin& John,
I pressed post comment at the wrong time. I was going to say that the BBC have forecast snow for my area on Sunday, great. I do have a couple of other systems to look at so maybe I can hopefully keep my nose in front until next Monday. You have made me feel like your horse Colin, just before he won his first race. Anyway, all the best to whoever is closing in on me in the table & may the best man win.
Colin & John,
Thanks for that! I do not look at the league standings until the last few days. That will have jinxed any chance of my winning now, ha ha. However, I think you are right Colin & somebody will come along and tip a few big winners, probably yourself or Paul H. Well spotted John. I do seem to have improved since the winnings were removed, thanks Jason!!. My winners have started to dry up as I really need heavy going for some of my NH horses & the present dry spell is not helpingalthough the BBC
Hi Colin,
I will say Mr T his tipping form has greatly improved since the competition stopped the prize money, pity he did not have that form when the prize money was available. Anyway i hope he wins, as he is a veteran . As they say many a good tune played on a old fiddle. HA-Ha. Best of Luck to him. John.
How’s that veteran Mr T leading the tipping competition with only a furlong to run. Can he hold on to win his first race.
Somebody will probably come and spoil his big moment.
John, john wont put him back in training till june. Hope yours recovers, but tendon trouble is bad news. I wont be having any more unless I have a big win. Too expensive. Sent a winner in today and I’ve had about 3 near misses at double digit prices[ finished 2nd]. I’ve said for years you have to find some outsiders. Somebody always manages to find some.
Hi Colin ,
See you are back in the game, the system seems to be working okay at present. See more competitors have joined the competition ,strange as there is no prize money, maybe there are fictional players from the company. Gold Links tendon is getting better according to the vet ,so hope for the best for a full recovery and he returns to racing. Will Muftakker race again?. Will you be leasing any more horses in the future?. Wont be long until the next big meeting Cheltenham. Good Luck with the horses. Keep smiling. John.
I have a funny feeling that history is about to be repeated. I tipped Memory of Youth in the 3-08 at Fairyhouse. On the league leader page, a click on my name will show I have posted it but an hour later it has not shown that I have tipped it. I posted it in plenty of time so I dont know what can have happened.
Colin,
Is that a welcome back or are you just testing the waters? Either way it is nice to see your name on the League Table again.
To all,
A Happy New Year to all members past & present.
Hi All,
Hope you had a nice Christmas. Truckers Lodge managed 3rd place at 28/1, he run well but was a bit high in the weights, the ground conditions suited him. I backed him at 28/1 & 35/1 ante post. so happy with a quarter of the odds made a nice profit. Well done if you backed him?. Happy new year to you all keep smiling & kicking also backing the winners. Good Luck. John.
To Mr T , Paul, Colin,
I wish you a very merry peaceful Christmas and a happy new year to you all. It is a shame the interest has gone from the Competition. In the past i managed to find a couple of horses to follow, Stratavarius who i backed first time at 10/1 he is still winning. My favourite Youknowwhatimeanharry a real money spinner, the icing on the cake when he won the Albert Bartlett ( Cheltenham) Had him at 25/1 ( ante post) finished at 11/1. Masters Tiger Woods 20/1 (masters won) Ok Corral 20/1 won( ante post). Just a few i put up on this page. Ante post Welsh Grand National Truckers Lodge at 28/1 &35/1 ante post now 20/1 e/w 4 places a quarter odds hopefully he should go well needs soft ground which should be ideal Chepstow 27th December 21. Best of luck. Keep Kicking. John.
Hello Colin,
Nice to hear from you again. I do wish you would reconsider your non participation in the competition. I understand your reasons for leaving but we have all had the same problem as yourself, maybe not as often as you. WE need as many players as possible otherwise Jason may consider it is not worthwile continuing. As John has already stated the numbers playing are less each month.
Anyway, whatever you may decide, may I wish you and your family all the best for Christmas & a Happy New Year.
Mr T
I dont bother with the competition these days but I still think about the good old days. I would like to wish everyone who visits this page [especially MrT, Paul and John] all the best for a lovely christmas and a healthy new year.
I napped Samarrive in the 3-35pm at Sandown 8/1 yesterday but not registered that is two that has not registered this month one winner one loser. Can`t get my todays nap to register ,there is something wrong with the system. John.
Hi MR T,
Thank you for your opinion , I guess the competition is been run with out a referee also Johan has gone and he was trying to sort the problems. I think that`s why Colin left for naps not been registered and no one to sort it. It seems no one cares, also the league table numbers are dropping every month, i guess it will come to an end eventually, so the competition cannot be taken seriously as there is only 17 left in it. John.
Hi Mr T,
It is a question concerning the competition as you are good on any queries concerning it. I thought i had won this months competition , but looked later and found Tipstrius is top of the table with 20.84 points, i finished with 18,04 points, but i noticed tipsterius has only placed 13 naps, should it be 15 naps at least?. Does it make him void from 1st &2nd place, as he has less then 15 naps. What do you think?. John.
To anyone who is still reading this page, that is interested in horses. As i said previously Gold Link has a tendon injury and is out until August 22 , my contract ends January 22. The company has give us six free months until July22 before we renew contract which is fair enough, just hope he recovers as we were so near to winning a race yet so far . So i am still in until July 22 see how it goes fingers crossed for the best. John.
Hi Colin,
I know the feeling when the system is not working properly, also very annoying as it defeats the object of been a competition , when not displaying the correct information. As the horses go i am in the same boat as you with Muftakker, Gold Link has tendon problems and wont be back until August 2022 . My contract runs out on January 1st 2022, so i might bale out then. Sorry to see you go we had some laughs in the past and fun concerning the horses. Good Luck for the future. John.
I know the tipping competition is only a bit of fun but I always tried my best in it. Yesterday I sent in the 8/1 winner of the first race at Wolverhampton in plenty of time, but it didn’t register. This is the second time this has happened recently so I wont be posting any more and wont be contributing to this page in future. I would like to say that I have always enjoyed the banter with John and Paul and Mr T to a lesser extent so I would like to wish them and everyone else all the best for the future. I’ll probably have a sneaky look from time to time but that will be all. Cheers everybody Colin.
Appologies for my mistake on the 23rd. I had been looking at the leaderboard and saw Tipsterius had 15 points more than he should have had and presumed it was for his non runner but he had in fact tipped a 16/1 winner that day. Pity the 100 quid isn’t available as he looks the likely winner.
Why dont you just scrub round the remains of the tipping competitions as you keep dropping bloomers. The latest one appears to have given the leader a 16/1 winner for a non runner.
A bit disappointing First Folio withdrawn from the Ayr Gold Cup. I left a few bob with the bookie, but there will be another day to get my money back. If the horse is not right ,its best not to run him until he is 100 per cent sound. John.
As there is no one writing on this page , i thought i would write something for Colin &Paul. As the covid was about and it effected everyone, including the racing also holidays abroad ,i have not had any holidays abroad for two years. But fingers crossed for next year as i have booked. Anyway backed a ante post for the Ayr Gold Cup , First Folio at 20/1 e/w with William Hill 4places quarter the odds. First Folio is the owners group horse ,i feel he has a chance with a pull in the weights might put him bang there. Best of Luck. John.
Hi Paul/Colin,
I guess people were preoccupied with the competition to write anything and i think most of them are not interested in horses but in it as game like bingo/crosswords etc but no actual interest in the subject . Emma says today Gold Link is cantering and tightening up ,so we are hopeful that he will be jumping fences in early October also that he wins, as it is my birthday 1st October so it would be nice if he can win as he has had three 2nds hurdling and can get his head in front. He is a young horse still learning, Emma and ourselves are pleased with him, so fingers crossed. Colin i am going to finish with a joke, as you have a sense of humour. A fellow goes to the doctor and says to him i keep dreaming i am a bell ,the doctor replies go home have a lay down ,if you are not better in a couple of days `give me a ring`. Best of luck with the betting. John.
Where have all the contributers to this page gone. It was a good read some days. I’m missing Paul and John who wrote in plenty and Sandra as well, but don’t think she has posted for a couple of years. Never mind it was good fun while it lasted. All the best for the future and hope Gosden keeps turning out the winners or Paul will be in the workhouse.
To top things off Dotties Dreamers get credited with horse at 16s which should have been 4.6[I think]
I guess the competition has ended as there is no race cards on the nap site at my end today , not Surprised as every month there is a decline in competitors competing and if there is no one to update the site it is a waste of time especially when you have winners that are not registered , you cannot compete under them circumstances diabolical . John.
Didn’t miss any losers.
Good Luck with that Colin. Now that Johann is not monitoring the results, I am not sure that Jason can rectify these issues. I note that results from yesterday have not yet been updated.
Not that it matters financially, but wheres my winner[Caridadi] in the competition yesterday.
Just thought i would drop a line about the owners group also gold link. The owners groups priorates are the welfare of there horses ,when there racing days are over they are offered to vetted people as pets to look after, those that are not taken for pets spend the rest of there days at equi-prep. Gold Link has come back to Emma from equi -prep from his holidays,she says he looks great and will be starting light work this week. We are hopeful he can win , as he is still learning and has got better with every race since wind surgery, so hope for the best. Good Luck. John.
Paul, Gosden had 5 runners at Sandown. how did you manage to tip the only winner in the competition. It also paid better than mine. Only half point in sp but about 3 different with betfair. I remember that 95/1 winner and it was you that caused the rules to be changed, Trying to beat everyone this month with quality rather than quantity. Paul, looking through an old Barnsley directory I see a number ending 204. Is that you, if so I could ring you to get your mobile with a view to texting our opinions to each other.
Hi Colin,
Sorry to hear about Muftakker injury, but i guess leasing the horse is not so bad as you have given him back to the trainer & not have to sell him at the sales , which would be a big loss , if you had bought him yourself so no monthly training fees now. Gold Link is on holiday at present , he deserves it as he has run well & still learning, should be back in training soon. John.
my computer has gone haywire all at once and i’ve lost my bookmarks. Paul I presume you won the comp last month but I had a chuffing second about 14/1. Thuought it was going tp sail incoming to last furlong. Anyway, the bad news first, Muftakker has hurt his leg again but not as bad as last time. The vet said not to ride him for 3 months so I added things up and decided to cut my losses. I’ve given him to John for the cost of Junes bill and thats me done as regards horse ownership. I’ll keep in contact about him cos i’m sure he’ll win again, but he wont be carrying my colours. The end of an era,unless I get a big bet up.
Hi Colin,
The reason i am not in the competition is there is no one to rectify any faults with the nap page E.G. last month i had a winner not registered, so it is difficult to win under normal circumstances , i finished 2nd, i would not have won anyway and Paul won lasts months competition well done to him. I will give it another go, as you say it don`t cost anything and it is a bit of fun, when the nap page is working properly . Good Luck. John.
Hi John, missing your name on that tipping comp. Come on you cant win owt but it costs nowt. Its just the interest. Gone for Creative Force but went off early, so wait for another. Just set off.
Hi Colin,
When you are paying full monthly fees + the other expense that goes with training a horse, you would have to be winning 4or five races to cover yearly expense and more to make a profit also a good tickle with the bookie. Good luck with the Newcastle race on 24th July, hope he wins. Have you thought about sending him hurdling as he stays 2 miles might be an option ?. I think Gold Link will be having his summer break soon. I only need to have a small tickle with the bookie to get my money back on him when he wins hopefully in the future. Good Luck. John.
didn’t like the surface but no excuses as same for everybody. Resting now till Newcastle on 24th July. Putting a bit away each week and having a good bet that day. Dont usually back him but think 2 mile at Newcasle is tailor made and if he doesn’t win it’s definitely time to get rid.
Hi Colin,
Hard cheese, from first to last was nearly 20 lengths, Muftakker won the wooden spoon in 8-50 pm race Kempton tailed off. On the brighter side ,prize money for last place as there was non runners and 4 ran . Back to the drawing board i guess. John.
Hi Colin,
Only five runners in the Kempton race , so you will collect some prize money to cover the round trip for the horse transport at least. What are his chances will you be having a ` Tickle`?. Good Luck. John.
Hi Mr T,
As you said before Jason is not a Computor technician , so i think writing to him is a waste of time. The monthly numbers of competitors is diminishing rapidly since the prize money stopped, so i guess it will shut down if no one has any interest in maintaining the site in the near future. John.
John,
Try writing to Jason as Johann advised me to do last month. I would love to hear his response. As i said to Johann, once problems appear with results, I am convinced Jason will finish the competition so you may as well continue playing till such time as that happens
Hi Colin,
When a trainer sends one horse from the north of England to the south hundreds of miles round trip, it makes you look twice. Earlier in the week Euchen Glen went to Sandown Park from Scotland and won a four horse race at 20/1. Your horse is down in weight &up in class, can he spring a Suprise at Kempton?. Good Luck for the 2nd June. John.
Hard lines John,I thought he was going to win when they came over the last.
Hi Colin/Paul,
Gold Link beaten half a length the first two pulled eight&half lengths clear of the third horse. Unfortunately he met one too good again , three seconds in a row, he is a winner waiting to happen. He ran a cracker no disgrace in defeat finishing 2nd. Had him E/W so small profit. John.
I guess it is a waste of time , if there is no one available to maintain the nap web page, as winning/losing naps not registering ,it is a bit of fun as there is no money involved but at the end of the day it is still a competition and people are in it to win it. For the above reasons i am out. John.
Hi Johann,
My nap Kilmington rose 7-00pm Warwick won 26th May but has not registered on the nap page as a winner or a loser. If you can have a look please. Thank you. John.
On with Paddy Power 4places e/w at 11/2 one fifth of the odds . Best of Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Thank you for the invite for Kempton ,i am about 15miles from Kempton. I wont be able to go as have leg/foot problems for walking, i mentioned this earlier on this page a while back. Thank you for the invite much appreciated . Gold Link racing Thursday amended time 4-45 Worcester extra half mile hopefully this will play into his strengths . I will be on E/W again, hopefully he can get his head in front, the last 2 times beaten by the fav`s fingers crossed. Best of Luck. John.
John, how far are you from Kempton. I f you want to go next Wednesday I can arrange some free tickets.
Hi Colin,
Yes i am involved with Gold Link for another year. It is only a small fee for the year (one payment) for that you get videos of your horse racingalso other members horses/magazine in the post every month/text messages to your phone when the horse is running also info from the trainer and it is a hobby. Good Luck June2nd. John.
Still here John ,but not backing many winner lately. Did you take a second year out for Gold Link. Muftakker still going on 2nd JUNE.
Hi Colin/Paul,
Are you still there?. No comments from the pair of you for a while. Anyway Gold Link entered Worcester 27th (class4) 2m-4f – 4-15pm. He is in good form,came out of his last race fine and is bouncing. He will be having a rest after his next race summer break. ( Emma) is looking after him & jumping a fence in the future. Would be nice to get a win before his break. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin/Paul,
I am on Burlington Bertie he rises at 10-30- (100/30) . Ihope Gold Link passes the post first after 12-30. I have backed him to win+ place as a saver, hope he makes the frame. Best of Luck. John.
Gold Link declared Friday 7th May, Thomas Bellamy rides. 12-30pm. Market Rasen. John.
Latest entries , 7th May Friday (class4) 1-00pm Market Rasen. 8th May 5-45pm Warwick (class 4). Hopefully he runs soon. ( Gold Link). John.
Hi Colin/Paul,
Emma thinks the race at Newton Abbot (class3) is very competitive on 5th of May, with the rated Tulin 128 so Gold Link is not declared for Wednesday. Emma is looking at further entries in the near future. Colin it would be good to win another race with your horse if he is going to the sales and get a decent price for him. Wishing you the best of luck. Enjoy your Holiday. I have had the 2nd covid jab ,so will be looking at holidays for abroad after the 17th of May, hopefully good news from Boris. Keep Kicking. John.
Hi John, everything fine with Muftakker but no suitable races in near future. The two for him are Kempton on 2nd and 9th June.I have suggested 2nd. It’s a better race but worth twice as much ,so may as well go for that. Trouble is I am on holiday that day so wouldn’t be able to go. I was going to go and have a day out, and ask you if you fancied going, but unless we change our minds that plan looks out of the window. I am seriously thinking of one more run then selling.If he wins he will go up in the weights and struggle, if he loses, he has reached his peak and wont improve, therefore struggle to win. Best of luck with Gold Link.
Gold Link , now entered Newton Abbot Wednesday the 5th May 2-00pm. John.
Gold Link likely to race at Kempton according to Emma 1-30pm May 3rd,ground conditions more suitable there. Colin not heard from you since your horse ran, has he come back sound?. Good Luck. John.
Latest news Gold Link entered Kempton 1-30pm May 3rd also Uttoxeter 2-30pm Saturday 1st May. Will know in two or three days where running, what the trainer says. Keep Kicking. John.
Hi Paul/Colin,
Gold Link entered Saturday Uttoxeter 2-30pm. John.
I am now convinced that Johann no longer monitors the competition. I have given him five days to respond to my query, not a peep from him.
I just hope that the system does not crash as I am sure that Jason would then just finish the competition which would be a shame for the many that post a selection on a daily basis or like myself, posting when I have the time to look at the cards.
Hi Paul/ Colin,
Gold Link wont run until May, stable says he is working well, and hope he wins next time out. Good Luck. Keep Kicking. John.
Johann,
I do not pick winners very often but when I do, I expect the system to record them. Yesterday, I selected a horse that finished last. In the evening, knowing that I would not be in when my selection for today would be running, I selected it last night & the system stated that ” My selection had been saved”. However, it is not appearing on today’s list & would like you to please check. The horse I selected was Jetaway Joey in the first at Perth.
Thank you.
Hi Colin,
Just looked at the betting your horse , he is going Burlington Bertie 100/30 and he rises at ten thirty. He has top weight to contend with, looks E/W. What do you think?. Best of Luck. John.
Hi Colin/Paul,
Good Luck for Tuesday with your horse, hope he wins he has a good chance dropped in grade ,the grade he previously won in. Hi Paul Scottish National ,Coup De Pinceau is 25/1 hope he goes well for you. i will back Soldier Of Love & Nicholls other runners in Lucky 15 in the betting Shop later today. Good Luck. John.
Muftakker going to wolverhampton TuesdayObviously trying his best and hopefully.win. I’ve told trainer to drop him in about 7th rather than 3rd in the hope he can finish well.
Daren’t look at this website today, but finally plucked up courage to see myself strung up but nobody seems to have bothered. I have had a special zip fitted to my mouth which allows me to eat but I can’t talk so in future I will keep my opinions to myself.Best of punting in future everybody. I know competition is only a bit of fun these days but I can’t put a winning run toether. Only 10 days gone but i’ve had 4 seconds [2 beat by short heads] all at big prices.Might change one day.Muftakker has come back sound and lives to fight another day. Thinking of running at Kempton and it would be be a great day out if I could pick Paul up at Barnsley and meet you John at kempton. Both think about it.
Hi Colin/Paul,
I had no luck in National also had backed Muftakker , he did not make the frame. As i said before the bookie always has the upper hand, but if you are not in it you cannot win it that is the game. Some better news from Emma, she has been praising Gold link ever since he arrived at her stable from France. She recently said he came out of the Wincanton race fine also the wind surgery worked, she is very pleased with him and wont be long before we get a win, she thinks. Good Luck. John
Best of luck Colin hope he wins for you. Now 5/2 . John.
11/4 today. Told you they were giving money away at 5/1. I hope some of you stepped in and if you did, let’s hope he wins for us.
Bookies giving money away tomorrow. 5/1 Muftakker is great value . If I wasn’t in the know I would be thinking there must be something wrong with it or it’s not trying. Believe me he’s never been better. How they can make Cloud Thunder favourite when we beat it fair and square at Newcastle by 2 lengths and we’re only 2lb worse off is beyond me.
Looks like i’ve misread 365 offer, it’s only for ew bets.
stake not steak
Hi everybody, I said last year that Tiger Roll only had to get round to win and if you know anything about racing you should know that Cloth Cap is past the post if it stands up.I.m going to have £50 on it with 365 cos they return half my steak. It’s like taking 9/1about it. You cant get better value than that. 9/1 about a 9/2 shot. Fill your boots. Regarding Muftakker, he’s never been better and I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t win. 7 runners and drawn 7. What can you do.The plan is to get to rails and lie about 3rd or 4th on 1st cicuit, then to crank it up a bit then press on and hope for best.Meant to say, the horse that beat it a centimetre at Newcastle skated in yesterday so the form is rock solid.
Hi Paul/Colin,
Good luck in the masters on Garcia. I have not done anything in the masters this year, Done Ok Corral in National at 40/1 six places with PP, next week will be good Barbers/ betting shop/ pubs/ gyms all open, be able to get out and about and maybe book holidays abroad in the near future as well. Two more good days racing ahead Aintree. Nicholls is banging in the winners. Good Luck. John.
Paul, as much chance as Tiger Woods and he’s not playing.
Hi John Colin Just had a little EW on Garcia for masters 50s bit of interest sticking with Tiger today good luck Keep smiling
Hi Mr T,
For some reason or another it logs itself out with out you knowing,so check when you place your nap that it has registered , if it is loged out the nap will not register, then log in. Good Luck. John.
John,
Apologies for the delay replying but we have been visiting our sons in the Dales all day. Thanks for your input. I can now see the players in the table. I must admit, I have never had to log in before to see the table. Is this something new?
Mr T,
It might be worth to check you have to log in , if not you can`t view the league table, hope this is of some help. John.
One one winner from Harry today ,that is the racing game ,and the bookie always has the upper hand. Happy Easter to everyone also good racing coming next week , Irish National/English National at Aintree meeting starting Thursday 8th April. Good Luck. John.
An old saying make hay while the sun shines. Harry Skelton has 6 rides Uttoxeter . Looks like winners on the cards again . Lucky-15-31-63 and all his mounts have been shortened up since last night. Is the bookie running scared?. I am on again today. Best of Luck. John.
Johann,
Have you been able to look at my request as to why I cannot view the actual table in the League Standings yet.
Thanks.
Nice returns, Hurry up Harry were going down the pub. Three winners . Costly Diamond 11/8- First class returns 10/11- Say what you think again 7/5- Rockstar Ronnie finished 2nd 1/1 . Lucky 15 got the above three , nice little profit. Colin the only cert in life is we are all going to die. Skelton has drawn level with Hughes. The only other cert is when you pass the post first& weighed in , until then you have to keep dreaming. Don`t worry about pinching money from the bookie, they win at the end of the day and everyday. Good Luck to everyone if you had Harry`s three , money in your sky rocket (pocket) John.
Skelton is a cert for jockeys championship cos I know a bloke who had £20 on Hughes at 6/5 two weeks ago when he was 10 in front.He thought it was pinching money but unfortunately it wasn’t. As they say there’s one born every minute. Another thing I learned yesterday Hughes has 2 days suspesion coming up. It never rains but it pours.
Hi Paul,
Skelton is in competition with Hughes for the jockey championship. It might be worth keeping an eye on his rides at Southwell today , he has good chances for lucky15 bets. The one that has been backed this morning is, Rockstar Ronnie now evens 2-50 pm Southwell. Best of luck.. John.
Hi Paul,
Conformation Bias was the best horse in Gold Links race had gold Link e/w , Confirmation Bias in a lucky 15 at 7/4 – Danny Kirwan 2/1- Kauto King 3/1 Fidelio Vallis at 4/9- three of Nicholls + three of Cobden`s early prices. 4 winners. Happy days for me today also they think Gold Link will win next time out. Nice to have a bit of Luck now and then. Looked like your horse Brunch had the Lincoln won until the French apprentice cruised past on Gosden`s horse. Anyway Good Luck. John.
Sorry Mr T, losers on 9th and 12th and a winner on 26th.
Hi Paul/Colin,
The money was down on Gold Link, much improved effort since wind surgery, had a troubled passage through the race, but beaten fair and square so no real excuses, but we know he is useful and there will be a winning day hopefully soon also Jack Foley is a up and coming young jockey not long over from Ireland. Not worried about the 50p prize money as you say Colin. We are in it for a bit of fun also have a bet , made a profit today on my bet e/w on Gold Link, i am happy with that. John.
Mr T, what’s your problem. Superali leading Paul Hindmarsh by 12 and your 3 tips are down the swanee with mine.
Johann,
Is there any reason why I cannot view the League Standing Table?
Hi John, could have had a bit better luck in running. Better luck next time.Don’t spend your 50p prize money all at once.
Hi Paul/ Colin,
Gosden has got a good apprentice claiming 7lb (they say a pound a length) he is only seventeen from France. they way he won the Lincoln, he coul`d have won it pulling a cart.Yours was 2nd mine was 4th Danah which was okay had it e/w at 11/1. Todays info from Emma, she is hoping Gold Link will make the frame and the wind operation will bring out some improvement in him. Wincanton 1-00pm Monday 29th March. I will have a small E/W. Best of Luck. John.
Hi Paul/ Colin,
Gold Link running 1-00pm Wincanton Monday 29th March, class 4 hurdle. Jack Foley riding claiming 7lb. We are hoping for the best. Good Luck. John.
Hi John Colin Iam on Brunch in Lincoln and Queens Sargent in mile ew singles and double Plus a bit of gosden and son he will have a few winners today and tomorrow two wage bills now ha ha Like your confidence Colin watch it win on TV good luck Keep smiling
Hi Paul/ Colin,
Any tips for the Lincoln Saturday?. I have backed Danyah at 11/1 e/w- 6 places Paddy Power, so fingers crossed. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
It is about the same distance for me Woking/Wincanton 200 miles round trip going towards Yeovil/ Devon , scrumpy cider country they call it. I wont be going to far also no atmosphere with present restrictions on. The horse is entered Monday 29th, i will know Saturday if the horse is declared for Monday, he is entered in two races 1pm also 2pm Wincanton, I guess he will be running in one of them with a bit of luck, have more info near post time. Good Luck. John.
Only two allowed at Wolverhampton on 10th April means I wont be going. Not going over 200 mile round trip with two in car. May as well watch it win on tele. Going to races is crap at moment. I wouldn’t be allowed in paddock or unsaddling enclosure when it’s won and that’s what owners want to do most.Hope you get a run Sunday john. Will you go if you get chance. Doubt it, suppose it’s too far from Woking.[think that’s your town]
Hi Paul/Colin,
Gold Link entered in the 1-00mp & 2-00pm at Wincanton on the 29th March. From 29th March two owners per horse will be allowed in to the race track, where light refreshments should be available. John.
Hi Colin/Paul,
Disappointing from the british horses at Cheltenham. I backed the champion trainers horses Nicholls , not one winner, the Irish were winning races easy, made the english look one paced, very strange. i guess the old Irish menu for the horses oats/ Guinness / Raw eggs. I think the English horses need Epsom salts, to give them the runs.HA-HA. Had the first Irish winner &4 Nicholls losers. Did you have any luck?. John.
Hi Colin/Paul,
Gold Link will not be running Kempton Saturday, Emma says he will benefit from another week, so she is looking for another entry for him, in the near future. John.
Hi Paul,
Took advantage of Paddy`s free £5 bet first race Appreciate it got 5/4 two days ago, bolted in at 8/11, good start to the festival. Good picking in the competition you had a 16/1 shot yesterday, keep up the good work, keep smiling. John.
Gold Link, is entered for Kempton Saturday 3-50pm , as the ground is getting drier . He has had wind surgery, and working well ,according to reports, so hope for the best Saturday 20th March. Good Luck. John.
Hi Paul/ Colin,
The festival starts tomorrow until Friday, top class racing, I have done one lucky 15 with the horses i put up on this page earlier . Paddy power doing £5 free bets starting Tuesday first race same Wednesday and any race Thursday. It is usually a tough meeting for to get the winners, but great to watch on tv ,win or lose and a bit of fun if you like the racing game. You have to deposit £5 Paddy Power account to get free bets. I guess the same with other bookmakers. The irish might start with a winner Tuesday ,the Mullins horse, Best of Luck. John.
I wasn’t sure whether he had just got up or not but unfortunately it was the latter.Said I was disappointed with the draw and the winner was on the rails after a furlong and we ran round on his outside all the way, so we travelled six yards further. Might not have made any difference but drawn 1 instead of 10 would have helped. He ran as I said, held up for first mile and then pick up.Prefer Newcastle but no available race for a while so looks like back to Wolverhampton on 10th April.
As John says very unlucky great run all the same nice bit of prize money and nice price for ew cheers for info
Hi Colin,
Your trainer had your horse spot on, unlucky to be beaten by the fav by a nose, another few yards he woul`d have had his head in front, he was closing all the way to the line. Good run from your horse , he has improved, and a winner waiting to happen. John.
Hi Paul, dont follow the Mr Candy bit [is it a bloke, a horse or neither] but I should imagine that you know that none of Elliott’s horses have gone to Denise Foster. She has just taken over Elliott’s yard while he’s suspended. Muftakker looks like he’s up against a mixture of a few decent horses with one or two duck eggs chucked in. As long as he gets in first eight I wont grumble but i’m hoping he can win. A think the cough was a bit of sumat an nowt so fingers crossed all goes well,
Hi Paul,
Denise Foster, has had her first winner since taking over the reins from Elliot , so you might be okay Cheltenham. In the past Elliot , had 3or 4 horses in nearly every race at the festival. That was a sweet touch Candy getting one in 16/1 well done picking that one.Havent found anything like Youknowwhatimeanharry 25/1 when he won the Albert Bartlett, Done Barbados Bucks in that race this time around at 8/1. Good Luck also Colin & his horse Thursday . John.
Hi Paul,
Cheltenham next week, Paul Nicholls says he is sending a small team to the festival with realistic chances, i have backed ante post (money back non runners) Bravemansgame/ Barbados Bucks/ Frodon/ Bob And Co. Lucky 15, he is sending seven to the meeting and they are all fancied. So hope for the best , fingers crossed. I have had a little bit of luck in the tipping Competition so far this Month, Don`t know how long my luck will last. Good Luck. John.
Garritty cant do weight or he would have been on it. Murtagh good apprentice, only claims 3. When he ran in bumpers he stayed on well so hoping he’s ok.Plan is to drop him in for first mile then see how it pans out.You wouldn’t think draw made much difference but one would have been better than ten. He wont be able to get on rails and every yards from the rail means an extra six yards on a circuit.
Hi Colin,
Your horse up in trip, up in class down in weight, also apprentice on board . I see you have had a change of heart as you said in the past you prefer a jockey. I guess common sense prevails if it helps the horse to win. If there is no ill effects from coughing ,he looks an e/w chance. Best of luck. John.
Not coughing today. Hope powders worked wonders. Declaring tomorrow so see what happens.
Hi Colin,
i learned that tip ( Don`t buy a racehorse after my first horse) as soon as you buy a horse it devalues in price, I was hoping for a good horse, but it does not work out. I buy small shares in horses just for fun , so no big outlay, one payment for the year contract and can opt out if the horse is no good.I have only one share this year, that is Gold Link, he will be out racing this month hopefully all been well.Glad i am not a horse i have had a foot infection for the last 7 days, can`t walk. COVID wise looks like improvements in everything. Hope your horse makes a quick recovery, he wont be racing if still coughing no way. Anyway good luck. John.
Good tip. Dont bye a racehorse unless you have some money to chuck away. They are nothing but trouble. Ready to run four weeks ago and knocks its leg. Ready to run next Thursday and decides to cough on Thursday anf Friday. John has bought some powders, not beechams cos they were 38 quid for ten, so hoping they can make him recover ready for Thursday. If he runs he’ll be trying his best but I dont like the coughing. I’ll ring up tomorrow and hope the powders are working.
Hi Colin,
Did you back Forest Of Dean 4/1 Saturday Lingfield 2-40pm. It won at Burlington Bertie he rises at ten thirty 100/30 , i got 4/1, nice to get a winner now and then. John.
to Johann,
1-10pm Fairyhouse Tax For Max now shows as lost on league table.
to Johan,
1-10pm Fairyhouse Tax for Max lost. It shows as a non runner. Thanks . John.
Hi Colin,
Sorry my mistake Felix was not a non runner, he finished 2nd , i had the winner Forest Of Dean at 4/1, backed near the of into 100/30 in my l15 with the Nicholls horses. John.
no. think it started with a P. John your message from Friday doesn’t read properly.
Hi ColinWas the horse Felix (Hollie Doyle) the non runner, in the derby trial Lingfield Saturday 2-40pm.
Hi Colin,
I have experienced the ante-post game with non runners, it is annoying but when you get a good winner at ante post it is worth it. I will be backing Nicholls in the morning after 8am best odds Paddy Power l15s also one in the lingfield Derby trial 2-40pm Forest Of Dean. Cheltenham offers Paddy Power non runners money back ante post. Good Luck for tomorrow . John
John, i’m always on about the folly of ante post bets and how I never do it. On Tuesday this week a horse [forgot its name, but it’s mothre and father aren’t married] in the Winter Derby was 7/1 with 365 and 25s with betfair. Must be worth a couple of quid ew only 7 entries and 4 days to go, it’s bound to run. Get Racing Post today non runner. At least it only cost me £4 but I will say for the last time I will NEVER EVER have another ante post bet as long as I live.
Looks like Newcastle on 11th March.
Hi Paul/Colin,
Gold Link worked well last Saturday, he is fit ready to go , so they are looking for races for him, looks like March, dependence on ground conditions. Colin is Muftaker racing in the near future?. Good Luck. John.
Hi Paul/Colin,
Had the jab last Friday, next one in 12 weeks, have you had the second one yet?. Temperature has risen but the ground is heavy in a lot of places. Hopefully to get Gold Link racing in March , his work reports are good, so hope for the best. Paul Nicholls looks to have some good chances Saturday Ascot/Haydock/Wincanton, for the lucky 15s /31/63/ Yankees /etc. Good luck whatever you back.. John.
Hi Paul,
Gosden`s horses jumping out of there skins ,two wins& second, yesterday& today. Backed Aureum e/w at 13/2 unlucky not to win drawn out wide, just touched of. His horses are very fit worth following. John.
Hi Paul,
I was watching the 7-00pm race Wolves , 7 runners one withdrawn the fav was 1/4 on 6 runners. for a bit of fun i had 50p e/w at 7/1 on Queen Charlotte she was getting 7lb from the fav who ended 2/7 out of the frame. The best i was hoping was 2nd, it just goes to show the odds on favs get beat. Were you on you normally do Gosden`s . John.
Muftakker ok but missed too much work so not running Saturday. Look for something week or so after.
Hi Paul/ Colin,
The two horses finished 2nd beaten by better horses on the day, they were trying to win that was the positive side of it, unfortunate they were beaten. John.
Hi Paul/Colin,
The owners group horses are fancied to go close Saturday in Scotland Musselburgh Accala 4-19 pm- Getaway Trump 12-57pm. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin/Paul,
Update Gold Link, he is in fast work hopefully back racing mid March if the ground is good. A big drop in the competition only 26 in it now. I guess it sorts out the lottery type from does interested in horse racing as a hobby also with the prize money gone has put a lot of them off. I expect they have gone playing bingo. John.
Hi Colin,
Sorry to hear your wife had passed on, i did not know. The woman i stayed with in Oxford was in her seventies and slightly disabled, that is why i took her to Cheltenham for 2 days. I slept in one of her bedrooms a big old stone house with string latches on the doors. Her father were involved in the horses Morston/Blakeney/ Derring Do. My horse was my Derryln who was by -Derring Do. That was the connection between us. I sent the horse to Ian Mc kie in Oxford after the flat season to be turned out and she woul`d visit the filly everyday. It made an old lady happy. We both had the same interest Horses, it brings people together. John.
Hi John, sorry to say but wife has been in heaven [if there is such a place] since 2005.You didn’t say but did you sleep on the sofa at Oxford in 1983.Muftakker’s imflammation has cleared up so 20th Feb lined up.
Hi Paul,
My last visit to Cheltenham was 1983. I had a flat horse called Rathdowney May. A woman had a share in it, she lived in Churchill Oxford ,i stayed at her place for 2 days and went to Cheltenham races , seen the Queen Mother. but no profit on the horses, came back to Woking 3rd day. I was buying my first house in college lane Woking& there was a horse going called Scot Lane , i backed it at 20/1, it covered me for the three day Cheltenham meeting expense. Those were the days my friends when we were young and full of fun. John
Hi Paul/Colin,
A fellow come on the itv3 racing Saturday, he had won the itv 7 , he was asked what was his tip for today ,he said Give Me A Copper.( he put the mockers on that as i had it E/w at 16/1 also in my lucky 15 had two losers in that Bint al Anood but had 2 winners Armitiyaz 85/40- Miranda 3/1 so got a few shillings back. Did you have any luck Paul?. Racing not that good at present like everything else, a lot of meetings called off frost/flooding. roll on Cheltenham March & good times ahead. Keep Smiling. John.
Hi Colin,
I know what you mean with this lockdown, no one can socialize. I think we will all end up like robots. Backed Give me a copper at 16/1 paddy power E/W 5 places one fifth of the odds, he is fit and ready, so i have heard, lets hope he is good enough to win it. Best of Luck & the same for your horse 20th February , it will make your wife happy also you if he wins. John.
lightning
John. i should have been in contact before but this lockdown business makes everybody lose interest in everything. Muftakker had a bit of imflamation in his leg [ not the one that caused all his trouble]. Must have given it a slight Knock. Touch and go whether we ran but didn’t want to risk if he wasn’t 100%.He was entered today but I think both divisions went to horses that had been laid out and I dont think we would have won. Next race is Newcastle on 20th feb.He won the day before my birthday and my wife’s birthday was 20th Feb. So hope lightening can strike twice.
Hi Paul,
I don`t want to keep blowing my own trumpet, if you don`t no one else will including the bookie. Ok Coral won last J anuary at 9/1 , i had it backed at 20/1 ante post. The only 20/1 i backed all year. Good horses win good races.The same race is coming up Saturday Sky bet handicap chase at Doncaster 3-15pm, i Fancy Give Me A Copper the Alex Ferguson horse E/W at 14/1. Best of Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
I remember reading on this page, your horse was racing 28th January. I was looking at the entries today but can`t see him entered for tomorrow . Is he okay?. Gold Link his breathing is better also back in work, so hope for the best in the spring for him. John.
Ok thanks Jenky
Joe
If you try it on a PC or laptop you’ll see all the horses (I assume you’re on a phone or tablet). I think it’s a flaw in the web page design.
I want to pick a horse in the 2-50 at Lingfield called
Ahorsecalledwanda but it wont scroll down for me to pick it.
Does anyone know how to get it up on the page
Many thanks
Joe Raggs
Hi Colin,
The Competition was a no pressure fun game with no outlay to join it and prize money if you won or runner up. Well done to those that won it in the past, as not easy to win. I will continue with it as it is a bit of interest also the horse information , the jokes the banter. The riddle ufbcbh i guess is my favourite drink first thing in the morning (Teabag) cup of tea. A riddle. What goes up the road and down the road and never touches no part of the road at all. ( The council Workers). Keep smiling. John.
Bad news for tipping competition but understandable as I always said it was mostly won by non serious tipping ie looking for outsiders at big prices that might just connect.It brought plenty of friendly banter and I think this will sadly come to an end.So before it does, stop reading as the following paragragh is for John’s eyes only. John are you good at riddles. What is dry when you put it in, wet when you take it out and you only use it once for fear of bursting. Answer ufbcbh this is coded to give you time for your answer. Substitute each letter with the one that comes before it in the alphabet. In a class of 7 year olds a pupil says “please miss there’s a condom under the radiator” and the 2nd pupil says “please miss what’s a radiator”‘Finally a man goes to doctors and tells receptionist that he suffers from premature ejaculation and it is ruining his sex life and threatening his marriage.He must see a doctor but it cant be in the afternoon as he watches the racing. The receptionist says “well we open in the morning at 7 and there is a vacancy at 7-15. Can you come early”.
Hi Guy’s
It comes with great regret that we will no longer be offering the monthly prize money, it’s just sustainable anymore.
We will however keep the NAP comp running and any tipsters with a good record over 6 months will be offered a place on our tipster network
All the best
Jason
Betinfo24
Latest update on Gold Link, he has put on a good bit of weight, so he will be back in work the next few weeks to shift it. Hope he improves this season on better ground. It is hard for us old timers fighting the flab to lose the weight ,with the restrictions that have kicked in again with C-O-V-I-D Gyms closed ,Betting shops/pubs closed. All you can do is go for a walk, if the weather prevails . Keep Smiling. John.
Many thanks Colin
It really is just like losing a child
Absolutely heart wrenching
We had her from 12 weeks old and she was 12 when we lost her
They are just so loyal and family friendly
Given time we shall certainly be getting another one but probably a rescue one this time
C.ondolences Joe, it’s like losing a child. All the best for 2021
Belated Happy New Year to you all
To be honest 2020 quite simply the worst year ive ever known right up to 6pm new years eve when Sadly i lost my wonderfull black lab Kia.Through illness.
Good luck and stay safe everyone and lets hope for a great 2021
Greg (Joe Raggs)
Hi Colin,
Happy birthday to Muftakker your horse today. Guinness/ oats/raw eggs, should be the order of the day, as he has done you well, hopefully more wins to come in 21. Last January 25th i was in hospital minor operation on my finger. I asked the nurse to turn on the tv to watch the races as i had Ok Corral backed at 20/1 and he won felt a lot better straight away. I think you backed it Paul?. Anyway anything i hear of i will put it up on this page. Good Luck in the new year. John.
Hi John and Paul, Muftakker ok. Draw no help last time and used too much energy early on with 6 horses trying to lead.Not many suitable races coming up. Talk to trainer next Tuesday when rehandicapped. Looking like Newcastle on 28th.
Happy new year all Colin hope muftaker came back ok and runs soon John keep us updated with your info good luck all for new year Keep Smiling roll yer sleeves up for 💉
A happy new year to all, a few new year quackers, courtesy of – The beano/Dandy. A fellow sent his girlfriend a huge pile of snow. He rings her up and `said did you get my drift. What has ears but cannot hear?. A field of corn. I bought some shoes from a drug dealer, i don`t know what he laced them with, but i have been tripping all day . ( keep taking the tablets) HA-HA. Colin are you keeping your horse in training 2021, as i remember you saying you were hoping to win a couple of races with him then send him to the sales?. Hopefully the new year improves also restrictions are lifted, so easy travel to abroad. Best of luck for 2021 we will need it. John.
Happy 2021 to everybody. Guaranteed to be better than 2020, a terrible year for everyone.
John, if you like cocktails, I could tell you plenty.Just had a look at form in Racing Post for tomorrow and there is potentially quite a few well handicapped and we will do well to win. Quite a few have good chances on there best form but John assures me we have more to come so I am hopeful. Cheers Colin..If we hadn’t run last time the 3lb would be handy tomorrow.
Hi Colin,
The piston joke is as old as the hills, must admit i haven`t heard the screwdriver one before it is a cocktail. Clan the man was 3rd. Good luck with your horse , he has a chance. John.
John, regarding your little joke, I wander if it was the same breakdown I heard about. He had his head under the bonnet and a woman passerby said” Would you like a screwdriver” and the bloke replied ” No thanks I’m busy with this breakdown”Muftakker drawn 11. Still hope to jump out and be prominent, then kick on with about 1/2 mile to go. Fingers crossed.
Hi Colin,
Got the Beano & The Dandy for Christmas, unlimited hours of reading fun. A fellow`s car breaks down outside the pub ,he gets out opens the bonnet and is looking at the engine, a drunk comes out of the pub and say`s to the fellow what`s wrong with the car?. The fellow says : piston broke`. The drunk replies i know the feeling LoL. Good luck tomorrow with your horse, he looks a E/W chance. I am on Clan the man 3-00 Kempton, If he gets over the last ,i think he will burn them off fingers crossed. Best of Luck. John.
Hope you are all enjoying christmas. Looks like John’s beano came early for christmas and he’s been reading the joke page. Just to remind you all you are advised not to bet in the 4-10 at Wolves on Sunday as Mufftakker will be out to thwart you. He will be trying his best and an ew bet should return something.Dont know the runners and draw till morning but hoping for a low berth.I’ve had a very good month in December but I cant send a winner in to the competition. No good bothering till January, when I will try to do better. Havent posted a winner since October.
Christmas crackers
What do you call a small tree surrounded & covered in slices of pork?. A hambush. A fella sitting opposite a young lady wearing a mini skirt and no knickers on the train, he says to her is that a hedge hog up your skirt? No she replies,is that a spanner in the front of your trousers?. No he says it is my wage packet also my boss give me a bonus, she says i can see you have had two rises since i have been looking at you.Keep Smiling, Christmas is coming. He-He-Ho -Ho _ Ha-Ha. A time to be merry. John.
Hi Paul/Colin,
Horse news. I have renewed my contract for another year Gold Link, take a chance on him ,hopefully the wind surgery will have improved his breathing problem and he will race in the spring. I have backed Clan-Des- Obeaux with Paddy Power at 15/8 for the King George theV1 chase Boxing day, i was on at 5/1 last year when he won. Colin best of luck with your horse 27th December Wolves. Happy Christmas to everybody and you have winners over the Christmas holiday& a happy new year ahead. Merry Christmas. John.

Just received my prize, excellent work, much appreciated.
I have emailed contact@betinfo24 with my paypal details for winning the November tipping competition but have not received any acknowledgement Any info would be appreciated.
Muftakker ok. Running on 27th. With hindsight he shouldn’t have run last week. He got beat and he’s gone up another 3lb.Regarding tipping comp I couldn’t send a winner to save my life. Todays tip set off, ran 100 yards and managed to get tripped up. Unbelieveable and I haven’t sent a winner in for six weeks. Had 3 bets so far today and backed 2 winners but try sending a winner in I just cant.
Hi Paul/Colin,
I tipped up Clan-des Obeaux on 6th December 019 for the king george the V1 chase Kempton boxing day at 5/1 he bolted in winning by over 20lengths a nice Christmas stocking filler. I think he can go in again, shorter price this time 9/4. Colin how is your horse?. Gold Link has had wind surgery, he has come out of it okay, they think the spring before he next run`s again. We have not renewed our contract with Overpriced Mixer he does not seem in love with the hurdling game also quirky. Blame it on Sally injury seems serious., so we wont be caring on with them two. It is good having one year contracts so you are not stuck with horses that have problems.Emma say`s Gold Link need`s good ground now as it was said he needed soft/heavy like his runs in France, just have to play it by ear with him. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Nothing wrong with that run under top weight+ a penalty, just touched off, game try , extra rations at Christmas maybe a bag of oats. Condolences to your trainer at difficult times with the loss of his parents. John
Silly betting at moment. Should be bigger than 5/2.
Good luck today Colin hope he runs well and comes home sound Keep Smiling nearly Christmas 🎄
see he’s 4/1 with hills. Should drift a bit but definitely good ew bet as he’s trying his best. No none trying to get some weight off.
Hi Colin,
I guess your horse`s Christmas menu will read , Bucket of carrots/ Bucket of Guinness& polo mints for pudding, he deserves it, if he can go in again, it be great,they always say strike while the iron is hot, has a good chance of making the frame despite the extra weight, as he is in good form. Best of Luck for Monday. John.
Running Monday and same running plans will operate so fingers crossed,Trainer wants to run at 14 furlongs and this race is the only available one til next year.
Thanks to all who sent mesages. It was great that it went just to plan. Next target next Monday.
Happy birthday Colin and congratulations on a very good win
Im gutted but i had to stick with Cafe Sydney so did a RDForcast after talking myself out of doing the Tricast with Splash of Verve
Paying £98.11
All the best for Monday aswell
Greg (Joe Raggs)
Happy days Colin thanks for sharing on here best birthday pressie you could wish for 🎂🍺 bit a cake and a pint good luck for next run. Keep Smiling ( bet you are tonight).
Well Done Colin,
You horse won nicely, big improvement from last year. It is a boost for you & your trainer to get a winner. You stuck with it now it has paid off . I guess it is time to pop the champers. Cheers me dears. John.
Hi Colin,
Had a little e/w with paddy power at 5/1 Muftakker, he is on the drift in the betting, but the horse don`t know that , Hope he runs well and the champers is flowing for your birthday. Good Luck. John.
Muftakker update. I see he is 11/2 with bet365. This is good value cos if you had a fiver ew with them and it wins you can have a free £10 bet on the 7-30 race. I have spoken to the trainer and the plan is to jump out and be handy and to kick on at the 4 furlong marker and say to the rest “catch me if you can” and I hope they can’t.
Muftakker was freely available at 4/1 for quite a while. This represented good ew value as you would get your own back if it got placed which he should manage if something comes out of the woodwork.I put £35ew on for friends but I haven’t backed him as I’ll be glad if he wins the prize money.All I can do is keep my fingers crossed and hope I get smiled on from above for my birthday. 83 and not 21 unfortunately.Muftakker entered next monday but better get tomorrow out of the way first.
Hi Paul,
Good luck with your Gosden`s horses , they have pretty smart breeding and look future winners if one of them don`t win today. Happy birthday Colin , you must be the oldest swinger in town HA-HA. Your horse has a good chance of going one better Tuesday , Best of Luck. John.
Colin,
I will send this now as I will not have my laptop shortly until tomorrow night. As Paul says, all the best with your horse for tomorrow, hope he comes back not only a winner but safe & sound. Also, all the best for your Birthday. You must be the oldest 21 year old I know!!!!
Hi John and Colin (good luck for tomorrow) 4.45 Chelmsford looks a good race 6 derby entries and a Gosden puzzle little.tricast 3-7-1 permed. some expensive horses on show good luck Top tipping this month John keep smiling
Hi Colin,
It is well known fact trainers are not going to tell you your horse is no good , all the time they are collecting training fee`s every month ,Emma had been talking up Gold Link since January his work was good good reports from Fenton also Timmie Murphy who had been riding him. James Bowen who rode him today said he is Whistling/breathing problem, that is why he eased up on him. Emma says breathing operation and put him away until next spring. Hopefully we have a answer to the problem or he might not be any good, iguess time will tell. Best of Luck tuesday. John.
John, sorry it ran so bad. After Newton Abbott and today I think Lavelle is telling you what you want to hear.
Very disappointing Gold Link, they said it was a weak race, we were expecting a win or making the frame, but well beaten out of sight. Have to wait for the aftermath. Colin hope your horse steps up to the plate Tuesday and wins. John.
Hi Colin/Paul,
Gold Link is racing Friday at Chepstow 12-30pm, two furlong shorter then his last run. This race is 2miles with James Bowen riding. some of Emma`s horses had not been finishing of there races. Hope Gold Link he is straighter for this race and a lot fitter as the going is heavy again. Best of Luck also for your horse next Tuesday Colin. John.
Muftakker in good nick and has his best chance next Tuesday. We know we have backed horses in the past and think they never tried, but I can assure you mine will be trying his best and unless something comes out of the woodwork he will have a real chance. I wont be going cos owners can only go in 3/4 of an hour before you run, then leave after race. I’m not going over 100 miles for that. I’ll watch it on the tele.Fingers crossed Colin.
Well done Colin you deserve a winner, just need your horse to win now for the double. You may say Tiger is a old timer ,but age in golf is not a concern as he won the Masters 019. Tigers problem is back injuries which took it`s toll again as in the past. Good Luck Paul, your turn will come soon. John.
Paul, stick with Gosden and forget golf. John stop backing old timers. They wont win any more in top class.
A fellow says to the wife i am of to play golf, shortly after he returns, the wife says , your back early darling ?. He replies i stood on the rake in the bunker and it was the only two balls i hit all day. Paul Casey doing okay, also the Tiger is growling also Dustin for Colin is doing all right, hope they they are all in contention , for Sunday, should be TV coverage last day. Keep Smiling. John.
A fellow say
Hi Colin,
The Tiger has started to roar first day masters Grrrrrrrrrrrr. John.
Hi Paul,
Gosden two winners already Kempton 4/9-6/5, i guess more to follow, hope you are on. I had a flu jab in October, was not aware of the coronavirus vaccine jab, i presume that is the one you mean?. Woods is on the drift in the betting and they haven`t hit a ball yet, Woods won it 05-019 not one to underestimate , he has had operations on his back , it seemed to have worked as he won 019. Mc Ilroy is consistent when he is on a going day not one to underestimate either, Casey big price but he has been backed. Overpriced Mixer -Ludlow 2-50 Thursday ran green last time but managed to win. Should go well again. Fingers crossed if you are on the Gosden
Not a golfing man but chucked a tenner ew on Dustin. Not a big price but 17/2 winner better than a loser. Golfers are a bit like boxers, they never come back. Woods no chance and I don’t fancy Mcilroy.Never have a flu jab, but suppose I’ll have to try the covid one.Might get a christmas yet.
Just a mention for those that follow the golf , the masters starts on 12th November until 15th . I am sticking with Tiger Woods 30/1 e/w 10 places Paddy Power. Backed Tiger when he won 019 ,had him at 20/1. It is best to put up the tip before the event as anyone can be wise after the event. Good Luck. John.
Hope you were on John King.
Next race for Muftakker is 24th November at Wolverhampton. You can all have a bet cos he’ll have a great chance off top weight but sorry to say he wont be 22/1 like last Saturday. My birthday on the 25th so would be a nice birthday present.
Hi Paul and Mr T, sound as a pound this morning so hopefully in the winners enclosure before long. Might go up a lb on Tuesday but we can stand that cos I think he’s well handicapped. Brilliant run to say he’d been off for 15 months.
Well Done Colin. Feel sorry for your trainer who must have thought that after 5 1/2 years he was going to have his first winner which would have lifted morale in his yard. Hope this bodes well for the future.
Hi CH nice run good bit of place money nice price. Hope all ok look forward to next run
Hi Paul/Colin,
Gold Link Finished 3rd, he looked a tired horse ,the ground like a bog. His first run for over a year, so not disgraced finishing in the frame. Will have to wait to hear the verdict from the trainer to see what distance he wants etc. Good Luck with your horse Colin Saturday there is nine runners in your race , so the jockey only needs to beat one to get the eight prize money £300 so you look booked for collecting that. Good Luck. John.
hi Colin Paul,
It is the welsh government that created a lockdown from 23rd October and conclude 9th November , The Bangor entry was 27th October, so no owners allowed in. Anyway that has changed to Newton Abbot 2-28pm-Gold Link/Adam Wedge riding also no problem with owners attending the meeting on 29th October. The horse has a bit of form on the flat France 2nd on heavy ground , so Emma says he needs soft ground. N/A should be soft ground Friday. He is fit revved up ready to go, hope for the best he is priced up at 3/1 at present.I wont be attending the meeting, it is a long way away from Surrey. Paul good racing Saturday ,a couple of races Down Royal one been a grade one televised also English racing. It is horrible times ,stay safe how long as you have plenty to eat/drink stay in the warm, watch the racing TV. And hope for better times to come.Best of luck. John
John, are you thinking of going to watch your horse run.Sounds as if theres a bit of red taoe to go through.
Hi John Colin thanks for info will look out for them not been on much been to Greece for a few weeks away from all the crap it is a rubbish time at the moment we’re in tier 3 but still got a bit of racing on TV good luck. Keep smiling
Hi Colin,
Sorry i did not explain properly the entry of owners to the meeting , as i said earlier in a e-mail . No owners allowed in to the Bangor meeting 27th October, Emma has gone for entries Friday-Newton Abbot or Stratford where owners are allowed in to these meeting`s hope that explains it. Racing is a expensive game and if your horse has been out for 15 months training fees/ vet fees/etc soon mounts up. Hope he runs well you deserve a bit of luck. They think Gold Link is a nice horse he is fit been jumping hurdles . It will be a new adventure for him on the race course Jumping hurdles in public. Don`t know what meeting he is running at yet on Friday. Good Luck. John.
john,when you say there is no restrictions on owners, I think you’ll find only four can attend. Muftakker is in on Saturday. Only running 12 furlongs but John thinks this an ideal start after 15 months off. We hope to run well but as long as he comes back sound I wont be bothered. I’ve told John to tell the jockey to try and finish in first eight which would cover expenses for the day. 300 quid is 300 quid to me.
Hi, Paul/Colin,
Gold Link is likely to run at Stratford or Newton Abbot, there is no restrictions for owners to attend either of these meeting`s on Thursday but will know sooner the time which meeting Emma has chosen. Colin have not seen your horse entered for Saturday 31st at Wolverhampton, hope he is all right. Good Luck. John.
Hi have recieved my July naps prize today 👍 thank you
all the best stay safe😊
Hi Colin/Paul,
Gold Link is entered at Bangor 27th October 2-35pm hurdle race. The firebreak lockdown due to commerce in Wales on the 23rd of October and conclude 9th November means owners will not be permitted to attend this meeting. There is restrictions in Yorkshire as well, Everything is effected , hope everything gets back to normal in the near future. John.
Received August prize today (21st) 😁
many thanks.
Hi Paul,
I had a small bet Overpriced Mixer, he looked to have the second well held coming to the last hurdle, but tried to duck out almost unseated Nico as he had to ride him out with no irons american indian style. Luckily he held on to win. Hope you were on?. Short price i got 15/8 but a winner that`s what counts. The fav was well beaten.
Hi Paul/Colin,
Overpriced mixer is entered sunday 18th October at Kempton Park 1-15pm. Nicky said he made a error running him on soft ground over a mile and a half. He has been working well and jumping the hurdles okay. They are hoping he will develop into a useful juvenile hurdler this season. Paul it was desperate ground in the Arc for Stradivarius, can he bounce back at Ascot Saturday?. There is no doubt that he is a good horse and ground conditions better. Good Luck. John.
Hi Paul/Colin,
Latest news about Gold Link,he is fit really working well and hope he can transfer it to the race track , Emma says he is a verastile horse so any race course he can run at, which is a sign of a good horse, he will start of two mile novice hurdles, he will like a cut in the ground. Hopefully we will see him performing in the next two/three weeks. Thats all for now. John.
Hi Guys
I will promote the tipping comp and forum to get more interest and people taking part, if we make them aware of the forum then I think more people will join in the discussions
Hi Colin,
It is a page for everybody to state there horse racing tips etc. But it appears no one else is interested ,i guess most dont have a interest in racing as a hobby as we do. I guess they treat the Competition as a lottery. Anyway Gold Link is now jumping hurdles, hopefully he will be on the race track at the end of October according to Emma the trainer. Good to hear your horse will be making a appearance on the race course about the same time. John.
Hi Paul and John,you two have shared the last 13 postings. I’m supprised you dont just swap mobile numbers and text at will. Muftakker running at Wolverhampton on the 31st according to present plans.
Don’t think that went to plan good run from wisher back to. drawing board
Hi Paul,
Gosden has a good chance of a winner with two good entries in the arc, as obrien has withdrawn his four runners. I think gosden will win it, unless the French have something under the radar. Best of Luck. John.
Hi John looks like Gosden had Arc handed to him but which one ? I’m on a 1 2 reverse Stradivarius and Enable. Good luck Keep Smiling Some good tipping in this month’s comp already
Hi Paul,
I know you are a Gosden fan. Al Ruffa looks to have a good e/w chance at a big price also drawn well 22 with Frankie in the plate. I am backing him E/w in the betting shop in the morning. Newmarket 3-35pm. Good Luck. John.
Hi Paul,
Is it Rory for glory or will the Tiger roar at Winged Foot ( I have a lame foot). Both good players they deserve to be in the shake up. Tiger is in his veteran years but capable as he showed winning the masters . Rory is still young and has a good chance of winning this. I will be happy if Tiger gets placed (10) places. Best of Luck with Rory Paul. John.
Hi,
I backed Tiger Woods masters at 20/1 e/w when he won April 019 . Backed him for tomorrow at 40/1 -10 places one fifth of the odds, us open finishes on Sunday. Good Luck. John.
Hi,
My winner for Saturday not marked up.
Harry.
Hi Colin,
Not to worry, I will catch him another day ( Al Assy) when he runs in another good race. These good horses always have a good race in them. So patience is the name of the game. Good racing today Curragh/ Chelmsford. on itv 3. Good Luck. John.
john, October.Sorry to see you didn’t get a run with your ante post but these things happen.
Hi, Paul/Colin,
Sorry to say Al Assy is a non runner in the St Ledger, so there will be another day for him to get my money back. As Blame it on Sally goes my contract with him is up in two months time, i am going to opt out,as he wont be back in training until next summer. The vet says it is a tendon injury, which i think is quite serious and maybe a threat to his racing career. Got Gold Link to follow, hopefully he will be racing October and hopefully he stays Sound. Colin when will your horse be racing?. Good Luck. John.
Johann,
Thank you for correcting my score. However, could you please explain how the BSP price on my selection was 16’s when it actually went off at 7/2 Fav?
Johann,
My selection for yesterday has been put down as though it was a non runner, whereas itran unplaced. Would you please check & correct.
Thank you.
Hi Colin,
Overpriced Mixer ran too free , and ended up second from last. Havent heard the full report yet.Blame it on cally picked up his injury when finishing 4th (Sandown Race). The vet report says the tendon was stretched like a elastic band. She says time is a healer, one year off. He is working on the horse walker at present. I guess the injury is the same as your horse picked up in training?. I notice young Fallon is doing okay a contract Quatar racing rode his first winner Saturday John Gosden trained. He is riding for the top trainers now Haggas etc. He was champion apprentice. I recommended him to you to ride your horse claiming the 7lbs, but you said there claiming for a reason?. Your horse needed a 5lb drop in the weights to win, if you had used Fallon the 7lb claim might have got your horse past the post 1st. But at the end of the day you are the owner who makes the decisions. In my day the trainer made the entries/Jockey bookings to give your horse a best of winning. Anyway hope your horse is back racing soon and you win some races. John.
Thanks John looked at Ledger only 2week away so not likely to run before then for Al Assy O,Brien still got 10 entered and Gosden 5 I’ll wait a bit but thanks all the same. Colin are you skint your giving it a good go haha anyway Good Luck Keep Smiling
Hi Colin/ Paul,
Overpriced Mixer entered Newmarket Tomorrow 7-35pm. He has been backed & fancied , Favourites chance i guess, been gelded , longer distance, new trainer, fingers crossed. Al Assy is a non runner again Saturday. Good Luck. John.
All I send in is well backed horses.I dont think anybody can cheat but you have to be lucky to pick a 20/1 winner but then to send it in for your tip you have to be double lucky.Keep trying there are 5 days left.
hi Colin,
I dont do that many ante-post bets, i like the small outlay at big prices rather a big outlay at odds on favourites that don`t always win. This year i have had only one ante post winner January 18th Ok Corall at 20/1 e/w, I think Paul backed it as well. I had the winner & 3rd place in the Ebor 019 Mustajeer 16/1- Desert Skyline 3rd 40/1 e/w the pair ante post, nice touch. All tipped up on this page. For my ante post St Ledger Al Assy runs Saturday he has been backed from 7/2 to 5/2 hope he runs well to enchance my hopes for the Ledger. The mind boggles where they find these big priced winners in the Competition. As the professionals havent got that form tipping Favs/2nd Favs Templegate/newsboy etc and most of them lose. It makes you wonder?. You are back on form in the Competition keep it up. Good Luck. John.
Hi John, you still can’t resist your ante post bets. Good luck and hope it wins for you. Sent a few winners in the comp lately but the leaders keep finding winners at fancy prices. I can’t understand where they get ’em from.
Hi Paul/ Colin,
Al Assy has been entered Saturday 29th August 3-00pm Goodwood ( Group 3) . Will need to run well as a stepping stone to the St Ledger. I hope so as i am on St Ledger bet 16/1. Good luck. John.
Hi Paul/ Colin,
Al Assy was due to run at York last week ( group 2) but did not run, it looks like he is going to the St Ledger next race. I backed him yesterday at 16/1 e/w for the Ledger September a few weeks time with Paddy Power 3 places one fifth the odds. Good Luck. John.
Windsor abandoned due to water logging therefore the horse a non runner.John.
Hi Paul/Colin.
The horse has been backed from 11/2 to 100/30 now 3/1 expecting a good run ,only six runners, so hope for the best. Good luck. John.
Hi Paul/ Colin,
Overpriced Mixer declared in the 3-55pm at Windsor 20th August. John.
Hi Colin,
I think the flat season ends October, but the all weather is on all the time so there will be races for your horse i guess. I have Plantar Fascitis at present and find it difficult with pain to walk on one leg, i know how the poor horses feel they cant speak. If your horse is cantering it is good,hopefully the injury does not occur when in fast work. Good Luck. John.
hi John, not commenting much these days. Nothing goes right for me in the tipping comp. Posted a few good seconds but they’re no good. Muftakker cantering and everything ok but wont be fit till October.
contact (at) betinfo24.co.uk
What is the email to send my details for last months runner up prize do I still have to contact Johhan?
Hi Paul/Colin,,
Overpriced Mixer is a non runner due to the firm ground at Salisbury. He is entered Newmarket Saturday 15th August remains a option at this stage. John.
Hi Paul/ Colin,
My brother has a share in overpriced mixer, i bought him for his birthday. Anyway he is racing Salisbury Tomorrow 3-20pm. He has been gelded since last season ,upped in distance tomorrows race, hoping for a good run top jockey booked. His future plans are hurdling that is why he is with a top jump trainer. Best of luck. John.
Thanks johnfrombuc….that explains the problem I had
I have implemented a way how you can display your own tip of today:
Navigate to the league table “https://betinfo24.co.uk/tipster-competition-2/” and click on your own user name. It should display your tips including the tip of today. This way you can verify which tip is currently registered in the database.
Note that the NAP of today will be displayed only for your own account.
The most likely reason if there are problems and you cannot change or register a NAP is that the time is already to close to the scheduled race time. As we all know the races don’t start exactly at scheduled time (usually a bit later). The script cannot find out the exact time of the start. For this reason we don’t allow adding or changing NAPs a few minutes before the scheduled race time (typically something like 5 minutes).
Hi Colin/Paul.
The horse Gold Link, will be hurdling next month, he is working well at home, lets hope he can transfer it to the race course . I guess your horse will be making a appearance on the race course next month?. I notice Hissing Sid has not entered the competition this month strange after his extraordinary luck in the competition last month. Might have entered under a different false name. HA-HA. Every one a winner. Keep Smiling. John.
Paul
There are two calendar controls at the top of the league table. There you can enter a “from” date and a “to” date. This way you can study old naps of any participant.
Hi johnfrombuc I am still here can you not put the calendar bit back to how it was I need to have a cheeky look at ZACK tips just for reasearch purposes On a serious note you cannot change a nap 5 mins before race time tried it it will not let you hope you sort it something went wrong today I got a winner
In these two specific examples I could not find any indication in the database. Sorry! I’m going to try if I can construct a satisfying solution for the future and come back asap.
Hi
Jason has asked me to forward this to you…..
In the 2nd August competition I selected Fiery Breath (Leicester 5.10) but when this was withdrawn, before the race went off I changed my selection to Camphor (Galway 5.20) and received a confirmation back to say Camphor was now my selection.
However I have noticed that my selection has been left as Fiery Breath.
Fiery Breath was obviously a non-runner whereas Camphor won at BSP £3.59
Regards
Jenky13
I tipped solitary in the 16.45 on monday. No record of this is shown. I have a photo of it being accepted.?
i think if you cant pick your own naps and have to copy others naps in the competition it is sad. Going back to tje days when Youknowwhatimeanharry was winning every time he run i would tip him up on this page. One of the competitors tipped him on the nap page against me. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. If i ever win the competition it will be my naps to win fair& square without cheating. John.
It should not be possible that participants of the competition see the NAP of other tipsters in the SAME day. Only yesterday’s and older NAPs should be displayed. Otherwise it might influence the decisions of other participants and lead to unfair advantages.
I’ve not been aware of the problem of NAPs being displayed TODAY. I have changed the scripts and the problem should be solved now. Let’s see if NAPs of today are still being displayed.
Hi Colin,
That horse Muscika , i guess you were unlucky if you did not back it the second time at 10/1 . According to your last e-mail on the 25th July , you were of to Blackpool this week with 2 to 3 thousand in winnings. I know it is not the £22,000 you just missed with Muscika finishing 2nd you said all the same it is a nice amount to go on holiday with. Have a nice holiday. John.
John, what about Muscika, couldn’t win at Ripon then wins at York at 10/1 two days later off 3lb more weight. Was I lucky or unlucky.
Mr T if you put todays date in it gives todays. If you put yesterday’s date in it gives two days.
Hi Mr T, these blokes from Manchester know some stuff. Ok to put todays date in. I pick my own but it might help others. Cheers and good luck.
Colin,
Try putting yesterdays date in the from column and leave the to column blank.
Mr T.
Hi John, another unlucky loser but not as good as Lady Nectar for Monday at Windsor is Tanex. Reared up and lost ground, then finished second, but he has been put up a few pounds. I told you I was unlucky at the moment. Backed 6 horses yesterday in 3 lucky 15s, 6 5folds and an accumulater. 5 winners and Muscika 5/2 fav got beat and did me for 22 grand. picked up 2-3 so can’t grumble and going to Blackpool next week , taking better half, my daughter and two grandchildren so it will cover that expense.
Hi johnfrombuc, is there any way you can show people’s tips before they run cos some people might fancy following some of the in form guys. Anybody following hissing sid would be quids in this month.
Hi Colin,
Will it be amber nectar tonight?. Lady Nectar won, well done and you were on at 11/2 finished 3/1 good pickings . Holly Doyle good lady jockey, she rides for some of the owners at Alan Kings stable.Latest news from there Sally is out for one year, shame thought we would have got a couple of wins out of him. Have to rely on Gold Link for the Autumn, hope he stays sound. John.
Stop Press. Not declared Friday so all eggs in today’s basket.
Hope a few of you stepped in at 11/2 as it is now 11/4 and 5/2. This horse had the worst draw at Beverley[on the outside]. The jockey dropped it in behind others on the rails, but when it came to the last furlong he had nowhere to go. A small gap appeared which he went for but that closed and he was forced to switch round a few horses and finished like the proverbial train to lose by a neck. He has been raised 4lb from Saturday so he will be trying his best today.He is entered again on Friday but I think today will be the day and they’ll think about Friday after the race.Knowing my luck lately and the fact that I have told everybody will contrive to get it beat. Anyway fingers crossed I have £20 on at 11/2.
now 4/1 and 7/2 all over
Hi Colin,
Every now & then, the site logs its self out so it is best to check and log in again otherwise sending e-mail/nap selection wont register. It has happened to me before. I think the competition is slipping away from me,hissing sid has struck with a hat trick of wins. I have looked at Lady nectar in with chance at Catterick Wednesday a good trainer Duffield also George was not a bad jockey her husband. Good Luck with it Hope the lady brings the nectar in. John.
Took 11/2 with 365
Hi John, I sent this message yesterday but it didn’t register for some reason. Lady Nectar was an unlucky loser at Beverley last week and it runs tomorrow at Catterick. I think it will be about 3/1 but I am hoping for more if I jump in when betting opens.I see it has gone up 4lb from Saturday so it will be trying its best tomorrow.
at the moment Naasik is the only horse capable of winning. Doesn’t want it soft.
Hi Colin,
Looking at the race cards ,noticed your trainer J Norton has a runner Uttoxeter 3-50pm Thursday 16th it is double carpet X2 -66/1 Black Market. Has it got any sort of a chance?. John.
hi Colin,
Good News for your horse if he is cantering,that is a sign he is better and going in the right direction. Dont think we will see Sally for the rest of this year. Gold Link is doing okay Barry Fenton has been riding him and likes him, so hopefully he will be racing in the Autumn. At the top of the table in the Competition, but it is early days yet only half way through the Competition , so likely to slide down the greasy pole, need a bit of luck. But with the ground Good/Firm a lot of short prices horses are winning. Good Luck. PS. Lady Elanor lost. So hope your next selection is a winner. John.
Hi John, sorry to hear your bad news, but you may as well forget about that one cos he will obviously need a break and then he will have to be got fit again by which time your year will be up.See you are doing ok in the competition this month so try and keep it up. I am having a terrible run at the moment and nothing is going right. Too many seconds and 4th when I back em ew. Just backed a winner so hoping things might get better.Going to back Lady Elenor at 2-10 so you will know if my luck is picking up or back to usual. Muftakker cantering and having scan on 22nd. Cheers Colin.
Hi Colin,
A bit of bad news ,the horse has a minor tendon injury .Looks like i am in the same boat as you as it will be a substantial period of time on the sidelines i guess. He has moved from Alans to equi-prep stables today. The horse is not in any pain, will have to await the next vets report. Anyway we have gold link to look forward to for the Autumn. Fingers crossed for him. John.
Hi Colin/Paul,
Alan says the horse seems okay but the vet is coming to give him a scan on his leg this week. Gold Link is back with Emma he has put on a lot of weight during his holiday and will be back in training for the Autumn. Good Luck. John.
Hi Johann,
I thought ” For Good Measure” was a loser on the 6th July. It is showing as a non runner in my column. If you can check please. Thank You. John.
Hi Paul/ Colin,
The horse is not 100per cent sound this morning and Alan has declared him a non runner. John.
Hi John, hope you run well tomorrow. As i’ve said before the horse had a good year last year and will probably need to lose once or twice to get back on a good mark.Keep your fingers crossed.
Hi Paul/ Colin,
Kempton is just 10 miles from me, its a pity we cant go. Anyway the horse is racing 8-15pm 6 runners 1-2 places . The trainer says he needs a career best to win it. I am not as confident as i was last time when he finished 4th. The horse is fit/stable in form so hope for the best Wednesday 1st also on this day Southwell jumping starts gradually getting back to normal. Good Luck. John.
Hi Paul/Colin,
The horse is entered in 8pm Kempton park 1st july two mile race/handicap. more news to follow near race time. Good Luck. John
Hi Colin,
Incidentally Gold link was placed in two bumper races in France, so says Emma. I thought he was placed in a flat race & N/H flat race. Gold Link will be back with Emma in July, the plan to train him for hurdles for the autumn campaign. Sally is fine Alan thinks he will improve from last run. A few years ago i tipped up a horse on this page & backed it at at 10/1 finished 6/1 he was almost unknown then, but how well he trained on. In the gold cup Thursday, should win if the rain stays away, but a odds on fav Stradivarius. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
The trainer says , he will be sharper next race, he should be racing again in two or three weeks time. He had been of for a while since his hurdle race. The trainer says he got tired inside the last furlong. Good racing coming up this week. Good Luck. John.
John, he ran wll, but I mentioned a month ago that he had gone up quite a bit in the weights for his running last season and thought he would have lose a time or two to get a bit of weight off to win again.
Hi Paul/Colin,
He run well with out winning finishing 4th, which was a saver for e/w backers, as most bookmakers paid first four. I was on at 5/1 Friday night, but then there was a non runner 20p in the £1 anyway got most of the place money back. William Buick had three winners, ours finished 4th that`s the way it goes sometimes. John.
Mixing up with Newbury
Hi Paul/Colin,
I live 10 miles from Esher ( Sandown Park). A bit of bad luck ,racing behind closed doors would have liked to have gone to the races as it is so near. The trainer says track ideal/top jockey booked/ 0-80 handicap Sally is rated 76 so a little improvement needed, a visor on/ don`t want anymore rain. Alan says E/W chance. I will be on E/W. The horse is fit, so hope for the best. Best of Luck Sandown 4-50pm. Good Luck. John. Good to hear the bookies is opening Monday, don`t like online betting, like the betting shop craic.
Good Evening,
Colin/Paul Blame it on Sally done a nice piece of work last Saturday and will be out on the flat very shortly says Alan King. Gold Link will be coming in soon to do some walking soon. A cracking weekends racing coming up guineas meeting will be a joy to watch. Grade one action over the three days. Good Luck. John.
Hi Every one,
Nice to hear from you boys, furthermore the racing is back on track today, but it looks like no one has had a winner. I guess we are all a bit rusty since the break but it can only get better. Colin your bet on Ben Curtis looks good at 40/1 now 10/1 if it comes off best of luck. Paul i done Good Tidings in the competition (Gosdens Just caught inside the last furlong 2nd well backed. I hope the racing is back on television Saturday ( ITV) My Fights have been cancelled June 18th To Turkey so no holiday at present, maybe later September hopefully. Expecting some news this week on Blame it on Sally when he is running. Good luck with the Competition and your bets . Weather here sunshine every day glorious ,don`t know how long it will last. John.
Hi Paul,we’re all ready but think a bit of caution advised. Had a silly bet on jockeys championship at end of Jan. £5 0n Curtis at 40/1. Now 10/1, wish I’d had a bit more on.Thinking about you as well John.Also Sandra but I think she’s deserted us all.
Hi Colin/John are you all set for comp decent racing today and a good weekend racing Gosden doubles and a treble for me today good luck Keep smiling
Hi Colin,
As there is nothing going on ,just thought i would write a insight into the company. They own 126 acres where they operate it is called Equiprep they have 18 paddocks there in Wiltshire. A lot of N/h horses have come back early from there trainers, ten horses from P Nicholls / Dan Skelton/ Mark Johnston /Emma Levelle etc. They say they are sustanstical losses but riding it. All the trainers in the same boat especially the small trainers. Blame it on Sally is still in training with Alan King. Fingers crossed the flat starts soon and get a run into him as he is fit ticking over.Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
You are correct about gold link 2nd the 8th November 019, but also he was 2nd of 7 in a three year old maiden flat race the 30th June 019 . According to Emma. Gold Link is at the company stables ,turned out in a field enjoying the sunny weather. He will be back in training at the end of the summer for the winter campaign. Blame it on sally is waiting to go for a spin on the flat as soon as that is possible. The news is France are back racing 12th May. Boris is making a statement Sunday 10th May, Hopefully a date for sport to resume . Good luck. john.
John you say Gold Link has run twice on the flat in France but its not the flat you might be thinking. It’s national hunt flat racing ie bumpers. If he had run in flat races he wouldn’t be able to run in bumpers in England.I still maintain he has only run one race[according to attheraces website]. I think it was 8th November last .He started favourite and finished second.
Hi Colin,
I agree with you about the return to racing. I cant wait. Blame it in Sally is fit and ready to go, it is a skill to keep them below the boil as there is no races to run in yet. The two horses look good on paper,hope they have trained on. The reports from the trainers say they have. We will find out when the races start. Incidentally Gold Link has been placed second two times in France on the flat. I am due to fly to Turkey 18th June so i think that could be touch and go. Reading today Boris says back to work 26th May also premier football returns 12th June. They say Germany 4th May racing resumes. No news about british racing dates to resume. Good Luck. John.
Hi John, your Gold link looks a good prospect.From what I can see He has only run once and finished a good second.As he looks good, I think you might find he’ll have one or two bumpers, then go hurdling but will be looked after and could be a better horse in 2021. I think you’ll get more races and fun if you keep him for a second year.Cheers Colin. Every day that passes gets a day nearer to racing.Just mention had a lucky 15 [50p]. agir cait, marmalade,bessachi and still schemin.
Hi Colin/Paul.
Just a bit the other horse Gold Link, He is the son of Rail Link the Arc De Triomphe winner 2006. He has been placed in two flat races in France lightly raced. Still a maiden under all codes,he can complete in bumpers/novice hurdles/chases with out a penalty. When he came to Emma from France , she said he needed to put on weight/condition also he was fiesty, Emma set him out wearing a hood ( normal in French Stables). Timmy Murphy has been riding him in work and is excited about him. Emma says that horses that come from France often need a season to acclimatise also put weight on . Gold Links target will be bumpers in the Autumn. So hopefully exciting days ahead. I hope life and the sport we love can return to normal soon. Good Luck. John.
Hi colin,
I dont think you can blame anyone for your horses injury, these things can happen anytime regarding what ever ground conditions . As your horse came from another stable it could have been an old injury that has flared up?.Moving on, Blame it on Sally is working well , it is likely he will race on the flat as the hurdle races was going to be his future as he has previous flat experience he will start there hopefully next month until the N/h resumes. Gold Link is having his summer holidays is out in a field with his friend ,wearing fly sheets/masks . The hot weather down here has brought out a army of insects . It is a waiting game now waiting for the racing go ahead next month. I will keep you informed on the horses. Good luck to your horse. John.
John, we want to run mainly at wolves and newcastle cos the going is standard. I told you before he would run on grass if “soft” was in the going.The trouble is it might be “soft” when entered but can dry out in 5days. Thats what happened last time he ran. It was soft on Monday but Paul Mulrennan rang John Friday evening and said it was firming up. John asked me what I wanted to do and I said”let him run”. I’ll never know if that was a mistake on my part. I’ve told you he will be back in on 1st June, have a scan and spend a month on the walker then build up steady and hopefully be readyy for beginning of October. Believe me John i’m pissed off with the whole business and would prefer not to discuss it again till September. Cheer Colin.
Hi Colin,
I am just writing a little bit ,concerning my horse owner experience if it is any help to you. In my day if you employed a trainer,the main object was to win a race. His duty was to train the horse also enter your horse at a meeting/race that has a realistic chance of winning.There is a old saying you cant have your cake and eat it too.I note you said your horse will only race at two meetings Wolverhampton/Newcastle. Surely it is up to your trainer to decide what race/meeting is best for your horse to get a win. There is about 60 race courses in England. You want your horse to win 2 races yet you have narrowed his chances to race at two meetings?. I dont think that will happen ( Common Sense) . I think you should let your trainer decide what is best for your horse, after all thats what you pay him for if you want to win. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
It looks like there is not many interested in writing there points of view on this page,only us two and Paul. I guess the rest of them are gamblers and not interested the horse racing as a sport/hobby. Blame it on Sallys first run for Alan King his prep work was behind due to muscle soreness caused by jumping hurdles. His first run was grade 2 , the jockey Tom Cannon looked after him as it was first time over hurdles , he got tired with two to jump. I backed him E/w. Tom said he would come on from that. As said earlier the owners group have stables /motor transport/qualified work riders/vet. As they buy expensive horses , when they come from the sales ,the vet checks them. The are ridden on the gallops for a month or two before they go to the trainer to make sure they are sound. For the layman to check his horse after a canter. Is put your hands around the horses legs just above the hoofs , if they are cold sound if they are hot tendon trouble basic testing , but it is best to use a expert vet for all other checks. I hope the horses win mainly for you as you have thousands invested and deserve a win. A couple of wins each would be grand. It is good a bit of banter until the racing resumes. Good Luck. John.
HI John, back again. Muftakker will be having a scan when he comes in from the field. He has never limped so I am hoping he will have made a complete recovery after his rest. My fingers will be crossed but in future he will mainly race at Wolverhampton or Newcastle or on grass if there is “soft” in the going.Not to put the damper on Blame it on Sally, he is a better horse than mine but whereas mine has a good handicap yours has gone up 11lbs for winning two races and might have to lose a few times to get back to a winnable mark. Anyway time will tell.Colin.
Hi Colin,
The owners group, must be doing something right. Every time they put up shares in one of there horses ,they are snapped up with in a week.They are horses bought in France/ Ireland/ UK. That have proven form. They use top trainers/Jockeys To train/ride. And at the end of the day every one wants a winner,what ever way you look at it, they supply the winners thats what people want. Every one a winner. Blame it on Sally is a gelding who has won flat races up to two miles. Alan King says he has been working well and was primed to go well after his first run, But the virus put the block on the racing. We are hopeful he will win flat/hurdle races. As he is a fairly expensive purchase £70,000 for a gelding. If my two shares dont win Blame it on Sally/Gold link. It wont financially worry me as i have only paid out peanuts.But never the less i am expecting winners, you have to look on the positive side.Have you had a vet report on your horses condition concerning his injury?. Knowledge is listening to trainers ideas. Small trainers would get there horses 110 per cent fit ,ready for the flat season start,send them up north Beverly/Hamilton to snatch a small race. As the big trainers bring there good horses on slowly. It is better then having duck eggs after your horses name. I hope your horse makes a full recovery, as health is your wealth also goes on to win races. I have respect for people who have invested in horses as it gives a lot of people employment in the racing game. With out owners there would be no racing. Good Luck. John.
sorry 3000 shareholders
Hi John, I realise you have this share for a bit of fun and the e-mails and reports you get obviously make interesting reading. Your Blame It On Sally is a better horse than mine but the fact is,she runs in class 4 races worth about 6000. If she wins and I hope she does for you, the trainer and jockey will take seven and half % each leaving 5100 to share between 30 shareholders so you would get about £1.70 back.If you keep it another 12 months its cheaper next year as you’ve already bought your share of the horse.this company is on a good thing with all money paid up front. Probably 20,000 per horse each year.Nice work if you can get enough people involved. They are laughing all the way to the bank. On the other hand John, if you are happy its a bit of interest for you.
Hi Colin,
Any company that is operating has to make a profit otherwise you cant operate, when you have staff to pay weekly/monthly.The owners group own stables/land /horseboxes etc. When horses come from the sales they are checked by the vet also freshened up before going to there future trainers. There aim is to bring the racing dream to everyone as the share price reflects and what you get for it .Colour magazine monthly/fortnight updates on your horse on video working/phone text messages when your horse declared. Meeting the top trainers/stable visits all for just over a £1 a week. Just think of the fun they must have had when Pentland Hills won the triumph hurdle at 20/1. Trained by Nick Henderson. Living the dream. All there horses are winners. So i am hopeful with my little shares for a bit of fun and maybe wins. Good Luck. John.
Hi John and Paul. Firstly to Paul, take no notice of what you read about Newcastle. All racing is abandoned up to 1st May so even if lockdown eases there can’t be any racing before then cos its already abandoned.To you John i looked at your website and see that horses have about 3000 shares costing on average £50 each.That’s 150,000.If your horse was bought for 70,000 it still leaves 80000 for everything else which is more than it will cost to keep so someboby is making a good living out of the job, especially with the number of horses involved.
Hi Colin,
It is a company that owns the horses they have about 46 horses . They buy at the sales. Blame it on Sally cost £70,000. They buy £50,000 upwards there horses which gives you a chance of a winner. The share payment is a one off payment for the year. I could write a whole page about this. So i think it is best if you go to there web page. It is owners group it tells you everything about there company and horses. I think the shares are exceptional value for money. As you know i have 2 shares my brother 1 overpriced mixer with Nick Henderson. It kills you having a horse on your own with the bills. Trainer/farrier/vet/transport/jockey fees/silks/ tips/gifts stable lads/entries/declarations. It all mounts up which i have experienced in the past. Paying peanuts for shares in top notch horses is good value. When you have read there web page tell me what your opinion is as a bit of interest. Good Luck. John.

Hi Jon. how many people have shares in the horses you have shares in.I’m not a believer in these syndicates cos somebody is getting paid for running these things.A horse costs roughly a thousand pound a month with entries and a few races but these clubs usually charge a fee up front, then an annual charge for upkeep.A club might have 100 members all paying about £150 per year which means somebody is profiting out of it. A syndicate of a dozen mates is ok, then you get the bills and all pay the same but my trainer used to tell me these aren’t a good thing as there is always somebody wanting to drop out causing everybody else to pay more. Just wondered how many sharers were in your horses.
Hi Colin/Paul,
The weather down here ,sunshine ,birds singing almost normal except not a lot to do so that is why i am writing this paragraph .Latest news from Emma Lavelles yard her horses are working fine as it is outside fresh air and the horses are not close together. Hopefully by the end of the month the flat season will continue. Good idea Colin to turn your horse out to grass, winter months saves on training fees.I done the same years ago at the end of the flat season until a month before the flat season started. No point paying training fees when the horse is not in training,Common sense as it is a expensive game if your horse dont win. Money going out and nothing coming in. If you operated a company like that it would not be long before you are broke. My two shares are low risk and are a hobby for a bit of fun win/lose/draw.Lets hope the sun keeps shining also brighter days ahead and everyone back to work also everything resumes to normal. Good luck. John.
Hi Colin,
I have two shares in two horses . Gold Link-and Blame it on Sally. Gold Link came from France. Timmy Murphy rides him on the gallops and likes him. The plan for him is a flat n/h in the autumn . Blame it on Sally is ready to run flat or hurdles when racing resumes .I am hoping for a few days outings at the races also have a little bet on them, as a bit of fun with a small outlay. Win or lose and can bale out after a year if i wish if the horses dont work out.I hope your horse makes a full recovery and stays sound for the racing season also hopefully get a couple of wins to balance the books. We are all living from day to day not knowing what the future holds for us. I booked my holiday last November for June this year but i have a feeling this might not happen but who knows?. Anyway good luck. John.
Hi John, regarding my horse he has been out in the field all winter so i’m glad it’s been mild.He will be coming in on 1st of June.He will have a scan to see all is ok, then he will be on the walker each day then start cantering on 1st July,then hopefully take it from there.Horses are like kids, there’s always something wrong with them even though they get well looked after.I am hoping to win a couple of races ,then sell him as I can’t afford to keep him after this year. It’s a matter of fingers crossed but that’s the plan. If he goes wrong again that’s it i’ll just cut my losses.Been having a few bets in America. Only small stakes but low numbers at 3/1 and less seem to do well.
Hi Colin,
Just a update on our horse who had extracoporel shock wave therapy treatment has proved most effective in areas of soft tissue that attach to the bone and therefore difficult to medicate in other ways. A common area shock wave treatment is used in the sacroiliac joint in horses. Our horse is sound and been in fast work. We are hoping our horse has an exciting future over hurdles also on the flat. So a set back with the shock wave treatment and more recently covid-19 forcing the cancellation of british racing. How is your horse Colin?. It sounds if your horse has a serious injury, if he is out until October. I have had Plantar Fasciitis in my foot, i am now walking okay. Injections dont last long so shock treatment can be used on this problem if it comes back. This was caused by fast work on the tread mill in the Gym as the gyms are closed now my foot healed. If any of the above information can be beneficial to your horse all well and good. I wish everybody a happy safe Easter. Good Luck. John.
Hi Paul,
There hoping to get racing back in action May (flat) Jumping in July. Horses are been trained behind the scenes . The plan for our horse is a run on the flat as he has previously won on the flat so fingers crossed. As grub goes a good stew pot on the go. is better then the chinese take aways Last time i went to one of them ,there was sewer everywhere outside when i enquired the said it was Hu-Fung -Dung. Saturdays has become a boring day-no sport and most of all no racing. So i settle for a few pints. Keep Smiling. John.
Just a quick line[ if anybody tunes in these days] to wish everybody the best of health in these terrible times. I wish it was all over so we can back to the banter which a few of us miss.Good luck everybody.
Hi Colin,
You can get the racing post free on the internet also in the betting shop so buying it is not a sensible idea. As the club goes it is better to buy decent beer rather then the cheap gut rot club beer you only get what you pay for. The supermarket beer is pretty good real ale very good. Paddy Power shops are closed. So it will save us a few bob in the long run. So treat your horse with some treats with your savings and hope he is back racing this year. I have plantar Fasciitis in my leg painful as i cant walk on one leg . So i know what your horse must feel . Good luck. John.
Paul, it’s a terrible state of affairs and will get worse before it gets better. Everybody is a bit scared but by all accounts if you get it you are poorly for about 3 weeks. Well that’s not the end of the world.On the bright side not buying a Racing Post saves me £24-50 and not going to the club another £50 a week. Have to grin and bear it but not much to grin at.
Bit of a bugger when I am looking at Hong Kong racing ( happy valley) 😂 when they started all this crap. Keep smiling and god luck
Hi Colin,
My run of bad luck started Sunday , as you know i backed France to win six nations at 6/1. They had three wins in a row until the french player punched the Scotland player in the face and got red carded, it was game over for France playing with 14 men. Captain Guinness brought down yesterday. Sporting John today ran a rubbish race no excuses. Thats me done Cheltenham this week. John.

Hi Colin,
Captain Guinness was cruising with two to jump ,when he was brought down. Sods law as Henry De Bromheads horses went on to win two races. Sporting John is my hope for today as you say Envoi Allen has a favourites chance ,but the uphill Cheltenham hill finds them out. Hoping there is a bit of improvement left in Sporting John. Good Luck. John.
Hi John, we all know you have a good bet standing with Sporting John tomorrow but I think you could have done with Envoi Allen running today cos I think that will spoil your party. You’ve still got a good bet so I hope it comes up for you.
If the irish maestro wins the 1-30pm Cheltenham there will be irish Champagne flowing . Captain Guinness 11/1 e/w 7 places William Hill. Just missed the 14/1 in the shop this evening. He has been backed across the boards.Sporting John Wednesday they are my two fancies Cheltenham. Anybody else got any tips Cheltenham?. Good Luck what ever you back. John.
Did I win the February tipping Comp?
tipped my first winner for six weeks today [Chalky White] and it hasn’t registered.Bit strange, all my 30 odd losers registered.
Hi Paul,
Ballymore hurdle 11th March Sporting John now best price 4/1 hope you got on at 16/1 i did?. our horse entered same day Huntington 5-05pm dependant on weather conditions. Have more details nearer race time. Good Luck. John.
Hi Paul,
The only racing paper i read is Favourite Saturdays (The Sun) . I usually follow the Sporting Life on the web during the week. I have not seen that paper you mentioned , but i will buy it when Cheltenham arrives in March. I got 16/1 Sporting John, Ballymore money back non runner Paddy Power. Our trainer thought our horse should have got third Saturday and he is pleased with him,also expecting a good spring with him. Good Luck. John.
Hi Paul.
It is the Sporting life racing news page for Barrys comments on his Cheltenham Horses. John.
Hi Paul,
The trainer was pleased with the horses he jumped well getting tired last two hurdles. Tom the jockey said he will come on a lot from that run looking for better ground next run. Left a few shillings with the bookie,but there will be another day. Paul if you have backed France at 6/1 three out of three looking good but you cant count your chickens before they are hatched. Barry Geraghty videos on the Racing post talking about his Cheltenham rides . Sporting John Mentioned as one of his rides. (Racing Post News) Good Luck until next time. John.
Hi Colin& Paul,
At last the horse is racing at Kempton Saturday 22nd. The trainer Alan says he is aiming him high for his first run over hurdles also may need the first run but he is in good form Tom Cannon rides. There is other Triumph hurdle entries in this race. So it will be a fact finding race for our horse to see if Cheltenham is on the cards. I am on e/w Paddy Power 12/1. Good Sport Saturday Rugby bbc1 wales v france looking for france to win to continue there unbeaten run so far and my six nations is still alive France at 6/1. Ps our horses 1-50 Kempton itv4 . Best of luck what ever you back. John.
Good Day,
A bit disappointing Market-Rasen is rained off due to flooding, I guess cant have all the luck. Had Sporting John in a single bet, then 3 of p Nicholls in al15- Sabrina 11/2- Sir psycho 6/5– Alcala 4/1 nice touch. So a good weekend. Our horse is entered at Warwick 21st Febuary, running out of time to get a run into him to see if Cheltenham is on the cards. Hope the weather improves. Next weekend the six nations continues France are 9/4 from 6/1, i have them backed at 6/1 two wins from two games. England Favourites 13/8 They have played two lost one. Cant understand why they are Favourites. There coach has been talking them up but all that chat ends when the action starts. Sporting John is double entered Cheltenham Supreme/Ballymore . I have him backed no runner money back Ballymore at 16/1 that is all gone around 8/1 now after Saturdays performance winning by six and a half lengths. He has an engine that horse. That is all the news for this Weekend. Good Luck. John.
Good Day,
To Colin, Paul etc,
Sporting John entered Ascot Saturday, there is a chance the Ascot meeting might be off due to ground conditions. My shared horse with Emma Levelle is coming on fine he is half fit bringing him on steady as he is a young horse. Timmy Murphy has been riding him and likes him .Emmas husband Barry Fenton ex jockey has been riding him, he says he has an engine. It will be a little while before we see him at the races. Emma says she will have a couple of horses at Cheltenham one been Paisley Park. She will be targeting Aintree. For our other horse will run 2-05 M/R Sunday if the ground dont get heavy. Tom Cannon rides ,hope for the best to see if the Cheltenham dream is still alive, he is in good form. Best of Luck. John.
Good Day,
Sporting John, entered Ascot Saturday 15th. Our horse entered Sunday 16th Market Rasen , more news to follow regarding declared horses Friday. Good Luck. John.
Good Day,
To Paul and anybody that is interested. Cheltenham Ballymore hurdle 11th March Sporting John e/w at 16/1 Paddy Power money back non runner or you can have 20/1 Paddy Power non runner lose stake. Sporting John is racing Sunday at Exeter in the 4-05 race. should go close. I am on e/w Cheltenham 16/1. Best of Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
I have backed the horse i have the share in e/w Triumph hurdle at 100/1. It may seem a crazy bet but if he runs well in his first race he will go for the Triumph Hurdle. A gamble of course. Morrisons from your neck of the woods, who have a supermarket near me, are selling a case of draught Guinness at £12 (15 cans) good deal in aid of the six nations Rugby. Got a case this morning also a free Guinness pint glass. You will have to get to Morrisons to get the Guinness for your horse and yourself. It will cheer your horse up mixed with raw eggs he would be bucking like a rodeo horse after that. Good luck. john.
Hi Colin i know you are not stupid. I dont have a on-line account with any bookmaker. so i dont know there internet rules except you cant get best odds the night before. I bet across the counter in the betting shop and there rules are basically simple,if not sure of anything ask the assistant that is what i do. My bets Saturday. L15s best odds all races Ireland/ England + 3 times one winner L15 also a bonus on 4 winners. I find out these details before i place my bet then you cant go wrong with Paddy Power they give the best deals then any other bookmaker. On to the weekend to the six nations rugby. I have backed France to win at 6/1 a young side and they could win it. Best of Luck. John.
Sandra, you have been going mad this month, but don’t you realise you have to send in 15 naps in the month and you can’t do it.
As I said John, I’m not stupid. I complained but customer services told me it was a traders decision and there was nothing they could do about it. I know you only get best odds on bets that are put on that day but my account didn’t qualify for best odds. You don’thave to believe me but it’s true so closing my account was the only option.
Hi Colin,
Everyone that bets with Paddy Power are entitled to best odds ,the only way you wont qualify for best odds if you struck the bet the night before, then your bet would be void from best odds. I guess it is best to check there rules before you bet,the same applies with other bookmakers. When i placed my bet with Paddy Power Ok Corall there were over 20 runners when i struck the bet at a quarter of the odds e/w . On race day there were 14 runners PP changed the odds to one fifth of the odds a place. But i got paid the win 20/1 also a quarter the odds so cant complain. our horse is fit and will be in strong work soon. So at the races February all been well then maybe Cheltenham on the cards all been well. Good Luck. John.
Complained but told it was a traders decision.
When I checked my Paddy Power stats I had had about 300 quid on and got 700 back so I put it down to that.I know best odds at PP’s have to be put on the same day and not the night before. They said they sent me an e-mail last year to say I didn’t qualify for best odds but I didn’t see it or I wouldn’t have bet with them.
Hi Colin,
Thank you for the compliments,it is good to get a nice winner now and then.I bet with Betfred also Paddy Power . Mainly Paddy Power as they pay 3 times the odds lucky 15s also honour best odds all races England/Ireland. I bet in there shops mainly Saturdays. Betfred only pay best odds on there 2 selected race meetings. I guess you should complain to customer services if they have not paid you best odds at Paddy Power. Under the rule offer services as described by the company not been honoured . Paddy Power now own Betfair. Hope the information is of some use?. As soon as our horse is entered i will post on this page. Good Luck. John.
Well done John. As you say you have backed it before and it lost but you got all your money back with interest. Glad you kicked the arse of Paddy Power cos I just closed my account with him. Backed horse at 15/4 which won at 9/2 and was told my account didn’t qualify for best odds.Once again, well done.
Good Evening to everyone that was on Ok Corall . By your e-mail Paul, i guess you were on hope you were on at 20/1 i was as stated . The saying every dog has his day , i believe every good horse has his day. Todays was Ok Coralls day at a good price. I got my money back from his last defeat+ profit. Patience is a virtue. I am keeping a eye on the horse i have a share in,should get a run into him February ,then Cheltenham we hope with a bit of luck. Sunday roast with a bottle of bubbly lovely jublee. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Sorry to hear about your horses injury and long lay off, hope he makes a full recovery.Our horse had a set back jumping hurdles for the first time got muscle soreness. The fred winter at Cheltenham was the target , but the horse needs three races for to be handicapped before Cheltenham. Due to the setback thats not going to happen ,so the entry is the Triumph hurdle if he shows promise when his first run over hurdles comes. Ante post Sky bet chase Saturday 25th January backed Ok Corall 20/1 e/w Paddy Power 4 places one quarter the odds. Best of Luck. John.
Hi John, wont be running before October. Just one of them things. Wish I’d never seen it ,but that’s life.Hop e you have better luck with yours.
HI Colin,
How is your horse coming along any improvement with his injury. The horse i have a minute share in ,has had a minor setback with muscle soreness ,but he is back working okay. he is entered in the Triumph Hurdle March 13th at Cheltenham . Just in case he shows promise when they get him on the race track hopefully soon and see how he performs. (Blame it on Sally). Good luck. John.

Hi johnfrombuc
According to your summary I won the May competition but as far as I am aware I was only runner-up.
I certainly only received the prize for runner-up.
You may need to check your method for producing the summary table.

GoodDay the two mc manus horses made mistakes . Champ made one and ended up on the floor when he had the race at his mercy. OK Corral made two enough to put him out of contention and finished down the field. I left a few shillings with the bookie, but there will be another day for OK Corral. Good Luck. John.
Johann,
Would yo please check my naps as my selection for yesterday has not been registered on the Naps Table. It finished 2nd but is not on my list. Please check. Thanks.
Good Day,
Like a spring day ,sun shining here down south. I put on this page a while back OK Corral a n/r. He ran on 30th November ran down the field had a 263 day absent. The vet report said about his last run lost a shoe during the race. . I have backed him e/w 11/1 for thePP chase 2-00pm Cheltenham January 1st with PP 3places one quarter the odds. It was a good job we did not back Colins tip he advised on this page Flowing Clarets for a Christmas box.( A bookies Christmas Box). Hope there is not a gunfight at the OK Corral the bookies win most of the time but not all of the time. HA-HA. Hope You enjoyed the banter Colin?. Best of luck with the new year bets whatever you back. Happy New Year. John.
Hi Colin,
I put up my ante post early so people on this page want to back it. It is okay been wise after the event. You are welcome to get your dig in clan won i have filled up my wallet that is what it is about living in the real racing world not the fantasy world of racing. It is hard to get winners so good luck for those who had backed Clan-Des Obeaux . Happy new year. John.
John, I’m pleased the clan won for you but I must get my dig in and say your bet would have returned more on the day. Admitted you had 3 places but you wouldn’t have had the dreaded non runner worry.All the best for the New Year which goes for you and everybody who reads this page. including ex authers and poets like Sandra.
Hi Colin,
Clan des Obeaux delivered the Christmas box won by 21 lenghts. The racing critics also so the jockey deserted him for Cyrname who had never won at 3 miles before. I was on Clan at 5/1 he drifted to 11/2 a big price for a course& distance winner in a 5 horse race. He hacked up easy. Hope you were on. I wont be drinking adams ale tonight something a bit stronger and bubbly. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
The three horses we have shares are very cheap so it is for a bit of fun also a low finance risk as we can opt out after a year. The horses we have shares have form the one with Emma has been placed in bumpers in France so exciting prospect ( gold link) The one with Alan King has won three times on flat ,now been trained over hurdles exciting Prospect( Blame it on Sally) .My brothers share (overpriced Mixer) is with N Henderson he will remain on the flat until next Autumn then hurdling. All a bit of fun for 2020 and maybe some days at the races also hopefully some winners if they all stay sound. Hope your horses injury is healing also he is back racing in 2020. Best of Luck. John.
All the best to you John and best of luck with your horses. Be ok if you got some info from those yards especially with Emma Lavelle cos I think she’s a bit shrewd.Hoping for a good New Year myself as i’ve been crap lately. Hope the Clan goes in for you.
To Colin &everyone concerned with the competition, wishing you all a happy Christmas also a prosperous 2020. Apoor turn out King George V1 boxing day only seven runners left in. I am on Clan the man to bring the bacon home at 5/1 ante post. I was given a nice Christmas present from my brother a share in a 3year old gelding in training with Emma Lavelle a bumper horse at present. we have three shares in three different horses also with Alan King/Nicky Henderson. Watch this space 2020. Best of Luck what ever you back Boxing day also the new year. Good Luck. John.
Hi Johann,
I looked at the league table earlier this afternoon,i noticed i was in 16th place with +1 point, i looked again at 5-30pm . I noticed i have dropped to 23rd place and the points changed to minus 1.31 is it a error with the system?. Thank You. John.
Hi
Received November competition prize today (9th).
many thank’s.
Hi Colin,
I do not wish to upset you,good will to all men at Christmas time. Ante post Clan Des Obeaux e/w 5/1 William Hill 3 places one fifth the odds King George V1 December 26th Boxing day. I have the few shillings on. My horse hopefully will be hurdling in the new year and we have a bit of luck. Best of luck. John.
Hi John, you wont upset me whatever you say so dont worry. Just carry on as you are. You’re ok and I like to think I can look after myself when it comes to punting. Regarding the competition, I dont know what’s gone wrong. Whatever I tip run Crap, fall or slow away.Things can only get better.
Hi Colin,
I am not a green horn to the racing game. As Henry De Bromhead goes he trains in Waterford near my family .Henrys family have lived there for over 300 years his father was a trainer before him. So he knows the time of day regarding racehorses. Sarcasm is the worst for of wit in my book, i speak the true facts. If you look at the form of some of them horses it is in black and white there form so no getting away from that.So excuses about distance/left handed track/ ground too soft/hard / did not like the track. These excuses dry up in the end when your horse dont win and your bank balance is lighter. If you think they are snidy remarks it is up to you?.The horse i have a share in is on a yearly contract so all been well i can renew for the next year or opt out. Your horse is out until October so you say?. so it wont run next year as theflat season will all most be finished, it sounds a serious injury only the vetinary can tell you that. You have done well in the Competition winning a lot of times.I like betting with the bookie which i do every Saturday+ ante post thats how i like to make my money or lose it.Sorry if my facts have upset you. Good Luck. John.
Hi John, I treat you as a friend ,but who likes his little digs and bouts of sarcasm but says stuff that he knows nothing about. Regarding Black Market, he went to the sales because it was bought at a previous sale and the buyer didn’t pay for it so it went back to the sales. John is happy with it but isn’t sure of it’s right trip.Regarding your comments on my tipping prowess, I have won the tipping competition at least 5 times which is quite a few more than you so I should keep quiet on the subject if I was you. Regarding my horse I wish I’d never seen him but I’m stuck with him and he wont be runnig until October so I hope you have better luck with your investment.Await your next snidy remarks but I still hope we are friends and you and your family have a good christmas.
Hi Colin,
Have Faith is all well and good. Henry De Bromhead got rid of the horse Black Market to your trainer. It looks a bum steer to me,maybe i am wrong?. I guess time will tell. If that wins it will be a miracle. There are two types of horses that go to the sales winners that sell for a profit and ones that are useless that havent got a prayer of winning a race,but people still buy them,more money then sense some never learn. Good Luck. John.
Have faith John. I seem to remember saying The National winner and the world hurdle winner were both past the post barring accidents.
Hi Colin,
I know you criticise my ante post betting but i have winners and placed horses ,football ,golf now and then. I cant ever remember you tipping up a winner of any description on this page. The horse you tipped up Black Market,that run 3-05pm southwell finished tailed off 44lengths last. Not been disrespectful but truthful every time your trainer runs a horse the only winner is the bookmaker. I think horses that cant win should be turned away in fairness to save everyone money. As i said before top trainers dont get rid of good horses. It is not rocket science. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin still alive& kicking but old age is a sentence for a crime you have not done.(aches&pains etc). How is your horse getting on, the longer he is out i guess it would be a worry if he ever runs again?. I have bought a small share in a three year old gelding that has come out of Sir Marks Prescott yard and has moved to Alan Kings yard 7th November is in training now jumping hurdles also getting fitter,should be on the race track early new year all been well. He is a three times winner for Sir Mark on the flat. So fingers crossed. Watch this space i will tell you the name and date when he runs. Ante post horses i know they are a risk non runners also losers but i do have winners if you look through this web page you will see. I now looking for the next ante post. I will post the weekend. Hoping to get a few shilling on at a good price soon dont want to be drinking Adams ale. Good Luck. John.
Hi John presume you are ok, I know you like your ante post bets but I still maintain they aren’t worth it. Assuming you had a fiver each way on the two at 12/1 and 25s 4places, if you had waited until the day and one wasn’t running you could have had a tenner ew on OKCoral at 8/1 6 places.
.Everybody pleases themselves but I haven’t had an ante post since Adam was a lad.Catch you later and happy punting. Black Market is priced up at 33/1 at Southwell tomorrow and could out run those odds.
No Luck today ok corall finished out of the frame. John.
Good Afternoon,
I wrote on this page 11th November ( The Worlds End now a N/R) but Ok corral is still in for Saturday 3pm Newbury Should go of about 6/1 i am on at 12/1 e/w 4places. Best of luck if you are on. John.
There has been a problem with the site but it is fixed now. I could login and submit a nap. Please try again.
Thanks
Johann
Good Morning Johann,
Sunday 10th November completely lost contact with your site until yesterday your web page is up and running but you cant log in your daily nap. Thank You. John.
cant log in yet
Hi Colin,
Looks like the site is up and running for tomorrow for the competition . I have put up a couple of horses for the Ladbroke chase 30th November hope they get in the frame or win . It would be a Christmas box for Christmas. Both of them have been backed. Ok Corral 12/1 to 8/1 -Worlds end 25/1 to 20/1. I have the few shillings on. Good Luck. John.
Why can’t I log in
Couldn’t log in 24 hours ago and no help forthcoming so balls to it.
cant seem to log in for tipping competition.what’s the problem.
hi,
Not allowing me to log in.
Good Day,
Backed two horses for the Ladbroke handicap trophy (chase) 30th November ante post when the betting was recently put up. Ok Corral 12/1- The worlds End 25/1 William Hill quarter the odds e/w 4 places. Best of Luck. John.
Just received October competition prize today.
🙌 many thank’s and all the best .martin
Good Morning Colin,
Sorry to hear the predicament you are in with your horse.I wrote a long time ago about the OBrien horses if they dont make the time on the gallops they dont run on the racecourse as they wont win. You have to be wary of millionaire Arabs sending tried horses to the sales that have not won. It should send out alarm bells as they dont keep horses that are no good. In the past i have bought into untried yearlings and when the race as two years it is fun and the have won.As i said earlier about Flowing Clarets running in class 6/7 races he is on the downgrade as he could not win a claimer which is the same as a seller. So no Christmas box from him. Before your horse runs again half the flat season will be gone. Must be disappointing paying out and nothing coming back. Anyway Good Luck. John.
Morning John, Flowing Clarets has won for the last 4 years in October so it was natural to expect it to win again. The trainer supposedly knows what he’s doing but maybe he didn’t place it right. He should have stuck to handicaps. My horse is doing ok but i’m obviously not pleased with the way things have turned out. If I could turn the clock back I wouldn’t look at him but i’m stuck. Can’t run and can’t sell so have to grin and bear it. Got to hope he can win a couple of races then sell.Fingers crossed when he gets fit but that wont be for a while yet. About August I suppose.
Hi Paul, will you pack the competition in when Gosden retires.Hope you backed em both.
Hi Colin,
You wrote on 22nd of September Flowing Clarets will win in October. He has 2days left to to win thats if he is entered to run in the last two days of October. How is your horse getting on ,has he recovered from his injury.? Will he be back in training for the next flat season. I mentioned young Fallon to you earlier when your horse was running , he was claiming 7lb then you said there claiming for a reason. Cieran Fallon is now champion apprentice Jockey and one day be champion jockey like his dad. Sometimes it pays to take notice of claimers with ability as your horse needed at least a 7lb drop to win a race. Something to think about if your horse ever runs again. John.
Hi Colin,
Hit the crossbar 2nd 14/1 fair play to you your notion was not far adrift. Hope you were on mate e/w. Good Luck. John.
Hi John,Horse was entered in first race and might have had a chance in that but I cant see it having a prayer in the claiming race. Would be pounds better off it was a handicap.Was 33s with 365 but now 20s so somebody must have backed it. I have backed it last twice so had to have a nibble on Ladbrokes at 20s boosted to 22s but I still think it hasn’t a chance, but you only have to look at competition league table to see what I know about racing.
Hi Colin,
D-Day today for Flowing Clarets,you said would win this Month?. A big price 18/1 . You have put your neck on the block with this tip. Good luck if you have the few shillings on. Windsor 3-00pm. John.
Hi Colin,
Flowing Clarets dropped in weight ground conditions will suit but the trainer has 2 more entries in the race so it is taking a chance which one is fancied to win out of the 3. That’s if any of them will win. It will be flowing vino if Flowing Clarets goes in 18/1 at present if you are on. Good Luck. John.
Bridger is doing my head in. Flowing Clarets is running again on Thursday. He has 3 runners again and it is 6 furlongs but I’ll have to back it. It is well drawn, so that’s a bonus.Still think next Monday might be the day.
Good Day,
The two horses I wrote up for Cesarewitch were well fancied reflected by the betting . Sneaky Geataway got 8th place a bit ulucky as some Bookmakers were paying seven places . The two of them were in contention at the 2 mile pole but were tapped for speed the last 2 furlongs ( didn’t stay the Distance) . Back to studying for the next big race. John.
That feeling when your horse comes in at 4/1 but forget to nap it 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
should have stuck with my first thoughts ie Windsor on the 21st. Dont give up yet.
Hi Colin
Its a pity the trainer did not answer your text it would have saved you the money you put on Flowing Clarets as he won with his other horse Firenze Rosy 11/2 5-15 Brighton. You said Flowing clarets will win this Month. I would not want to be chasing it with my money . A lot of these class 6/7 horses are on the downgrade and are slow that’s why the race in that grade. John.
Shortening but still 25s at Paddy Oower and Betfair.
Hills going 18/1 four places. Worth a bet.Texted trainer but he hasn’t replied.
Good Afternoon,
Next Saturday Ceserewitch 12th Saturday two horses I backed yesterday -Darksideoftarnside e/w 66/1 also e/w sneaky Getaway 25/1 hope they both run as they are good prices and make the frame. good luck. John.
Afraid the trainer of Flowing Clarets is cocking my arrangements up.I was thinking in terms of 21st October for a race it has won the last 2 years.He has now decided to run at Brighton on Tuesday in a race it ran 2nd in in 2017 before it won at later in the month.As i’ve already said it is well handicapped and could win twice. It will win in October, but when? I will have to back it on Tuesday.
Flowing Clarets had me worried. Backed from 16/1 in to 8/1 came 2nd in to straight but weakened to finish next to last. Perfect for getting a good price when its on soft going on the grass. I’m guessing Windsor 2 weeks next monday giving everybody a chance to stick a bit away each week and pounce as soon as betting opens the night before.Perfect to get your christmas money.
Good Morning Colin,
Thank you for complementing me on my birthday today. I read your e-mails regarding backing ante-post races. I wont be changing my system as backing ante-post grade 1 races a chance to back big price horses where as backing class 6 horses is a bit of hit and miss. The Cambridgeshire last Saturday King Ottokar was a N/R price 14/1 but Mordin was 4th E/W which I had backed at a quarter of the odds this recouped my loss on the N/R and I made a profit. Mordin 25/1 finished (12/1 . Also recently as you know I had ebor winner Mustajeer at 20/1 also 3rd place Desert Skyline 40/1. Came back from holiday last night to the English winter weather. I will be watching the horse you think will win in October Flowing Clarets. Best of Luck. John.
I believe I won the Sept competition. How do I claim?
Thanks
Flowing Clarets is out again tomorrow but I wont be backing it.Keep an eye open for Windsor on the 21st. I have a feeling that could be the day. As I’ve said it’s never won on the sand so I dont think it will start tomorrow. Happy birthday for tomorrow for John.
sorry John its Mordred thats a non runner. You’re still in with a chance.
Hi John, sorry to see both your horses scratched, but I wonder why you bother with ante post. Unless you know something it seems a waste of time.There were 66 entries and 30 are running so you are more likely to get scratched than run.I’m sure you’ll change your ways sometime.
This post is for John and anybody else that might be interested.The horse I am talking about for October is Flowing Clarets. I have no connection with the horse but its past record tells me it will win in the next six weeks.He is so well handicapped that he might win more than once.He is entered on Tuesday and twice on Wednesday, but you have to read between the lines and decide when to back it. It is entered at Lingfield Tuesday but has never won on all weather so I would let it run. It is entered Goodwood Wednesday and it could run there if the rain comes. His ideal conditions are 5 furlongs and soft going. When these occur get on it.
Both rubbish, like most of my posts.
Just posted First Dance and changed to Dragon Mountain.
Not meant to send winners in. Just sent a 7/1 that lead all the way, still a length in front at furlong marker then tried to pull itself up. Lost by neck. Try again tomorrow.
Hi Colin,
Backed two for Cambridgeshire 28th September. King Ottokar E/W 14/1 also Mordin E/W 25/1. I will be on holiday when they run . Where I am going there is no betting shops or gambling. So I will have to wait until I get back to Blighty to collect the winnings I hope, never know lighting could strike twice. Look forward to your tip in October. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Thank you for the complement .There was 70 horses entered when I placed the bet 25th July so very lucky to get the winner&3rd place 22 ran in the race. I am off on holiday last week September to where the East meets the West be back 1st October my birthday should get a birthday mention in the Racing Post. When I am back I will be looking out for your October tip on this page as you seem confident it is going to win. Beautiful hot day here down south great for the tomatoes/runner beans I have growing. Good Luck. John.
well done John. You deserve it after a few of your latest ante post failed to run. I have been watching a horse that will win in October. Watch this space.
Good Day,
The Ebor horses done the business – Mustajeer 1st 16/1 got (20/1 ) Desert Skyline 3rd 25/1- got (40/1) hope you were on. As the A team would say I love it when a plan comes together as one of them lights a cigar up. For anyone that knows anything about racing fair play to the trainer that put up Ciaren Fallon the 5lb claimer to secure 2nd place on RedGalieo and claim the £179.900.00 prize money and give the boy a chance. As I don’t smoke I wont be lighting up a cigar but cracking open a bottle of bolly tomorrow dinner time. Hope you got the few shillings on at big prices. To get the 1st&3rd don’t happen very often in a big race so I am very happy. John.
Good Day,
The ebor horses for York Saturday have been backed Desert Skyline pony from 40/1 -Mustajeer -16/1 from 20/1 lets hope they run well and hit the frame at least . I am on the two of them E/W. Best of luck if you are. John.
MR T,
If you don’t get a reply to your query, contact the A Team. ( they love it when a plan comes together ) HA-HA . John.
Johann,
Just a query,
When did the format change regarding the Gold Label? It used to be based on 3months results but changed to I month in July.
Tango appears to be under the impression that he won the competition in may. After checking it appears he was 2nd. He should have got £50 but he has to have a pay pal account. Don’t know what i’ve done but I can’t buy a winner. Had some leading to last few yards but they don’t count if they can’y get to the line. Unlucky Saturday, went to post a 10/1 winner 2 mins before race but it had gone off.Will come good soon.
Apologies. I forgot, Lizzy 158 won the other month who would probably have been the first female winner.
Assuming that she is a female, well done to Rosey99. I think that is the first female winner of this competition.
Good Day,
Backed ante post for Ebor August Mustajeer e/w 20/1 also Desert Skyline 40/1 E/W 4places quarter the odds Betfred. Hope I get a run for my money. The wife said to the husband whats that Tour De France about?. He replies it is a cycle race where the winner wins thousands of euros she replies what are the rest of them doing in it?. Keep Smiling. Colin your horse must be enjoying the life of riley out in the lush grass with the sun on his back a good tonic not quite the same enjoyment as a stallion would have but I guess you cant have everything in life . Hope he makes it back to the racecourse for next season and it don’t prolong the agony for you. Good Luck. John.

Be sure that you used the correct e-mail address. Only this e-mail address can be used. Don’t use any other e-mail address (which you may or may not have in your contacts). If you didn’t get paid within, say, one or two days the most likely reason are problems with the e-mail address.

hi I am tango I won top tipster for may 2019. and I have still not been paid the £100 is there a problem.
tango
Hi Colin,
Our filly had a leg injury,she was given time to heal then put into fast work and the injury reoccurred she was done we had to send her to the sales and sold her for peanuts her racing days were over. Experience is knowledge and if it can help someone in a similar situation all well and good. You have persevered with your horse in hope he races again. The acid test is when he is put back in training/fast work. from your e-mails you say 2nd time leg injury has occurred which is a bit worry I guess for anyone. All you can do is keep the faith. John.
John, I told you, he is going out to grass for 12 month then, hopefully , he will make a full recovery.
Just got paid thank you Jason and betinfo
Good Day,
John Constable did not make the frame, a drop in weights first time visor did not work the oracle . He should be turned out to grass,looks like his best days are behind him. Colin how is your horse doing?. Have you retired him?. Or will you be keeping him in training for another year>/ He must have eaten a big hole in your pocket with the time he has had off ?. More holidays then a lord would have. John.
Good Day,
Can he paint the jam stick at Market Rasen 2-10 first time visor John Constable at 14/1. Good Luck. John.
Also received competition prize (15th). Many thanks Jason. Congratulations to Bob on his win. Really close call in latter stages and was gutted to be beaten by 32p.
Hi
received June competition prize today (15th) many thank’s.
just to let you know.
Sorry to hear about people not getting paid as I have won a few times and always got paid.Sometimes waited a couple of weeks but always got it,You have to have a paypal account.
If you win the competition you have to notify Jason and send your PayPal details using contact (at) betinfo24.co.uk. If there are any problems regarding the payment the most likely reason is that something went wrong with the email.
To find out who won the competition of a certain month you can use the calendar controls at the top of the league table. You enter the beginning and end of the month you are interested in. Then you get the league table for this specific month.
I note Colin Holder , when he wins the competition he gets paid straight away and writes it on this page. I guess Colin needs all the money he can get as his horse was out with injury for 8 months last year. Back in action this year but struck with another injury he says his horse is out for another 12 months. We might have to have a collection for the poor chap.I always maintained he should give his horse a bucket of Guinness mix /barley/ 12 raw eggs mixed in. It works with the irish horses ( lucky there is no breath tests for horses) . After that mix they would scorch the turf like a bolt of lightning . John.
Probably forgot AGAIN
I came 2nd once previously in 2017 but remember no problems then. Perhaps others could share their experiences.
Keep us informed Lizzy158. I came 2nd in June’s tipping competition and have heard nothing despite sending P P details and 2 emails.
I won May s tipping competition and never heard anything despite numerous e mail’s and messages to your site and sent P P details so good look to any winners Lizzy 158 thanks
Hi Colin,
Just writing a paragraph for people who have not had the experience of horse ownership. When you buy a horse you are hoping for a winner. I bought a 2year old filly untried with good breeding (Derrylyn-Derring-Do) we were all hoping for big things . She finished 4th in a nursery then 2nd in a seller.There is a old saying in racing it cost the same to train a bad horse as a good horses. Whatever excuse you hear under the sun about distance/ground conditions/ left handed/right handed tracks in the end when the excuses run out also your bank balance is eaten away. You realise your horse is no good and no one wants to tell you that especially your trainer . Near the end of the flat season we would turn out our horse to grass for 6 months to a farmer no training fees only stable/food in (oxon) Then back in training again. (common sense) as we were working class people. I think if my horse was out for a year injured I think I would throw the towel in as he don’t look like a world beater. Good Luck. John.
Just not meant to be an owner.Leg trouble returned after RedcarI was asked if I wanted to take it out but said risk it.Now out for 12 months and sick as a parrot.Nothing else to say on the subject.
Bob won and 69vecras was 2nd.
Why aren’t the winner and runner-up in the tipster competition announced on the web site?
Hi Colin,
Iknow you joke about the 1lb drop in the weights a women peed in the sea every bit counts. A 1lb drop in the weights is like P—–G against the wind. I think your horse would struggle to win a seller/claimer of the present weight. I maintain you need a 7lb drop in the weights to a class6 to win. I call a spade a spade some people don’t like it but I think I am not far wrong and only time will tell. I live in the real World. John.
Hi Colin,
In my day in the game it was a 100 a week training fees + vets/horse box travelling expenses etc. Reavey would say if you cant train a horse in 6 days you wont train them in 7days I would go to the stable on Sundays ,the head lad would get the horse out walk her around and I would give him a £10 ,then across the road to the pub with Eddie and his wife Jocelyn Reavey. Enjoyable Sunday. Years ago to enter horses was cheap I think it is when you declare it is a higher fee.Variety is the spice of life, the more race tracks to target is more chance of finding a small race to win. And when you win turn your horse out for a months rest. Whitbread who owned the London Brewery would send his shire horses that pulled the drays on two weeks holiday in Sussex & his workers. A Irishman went into a pub in London years ago said to the barman a pint of bitter? the barman replied Whitbread he replied two slices please?. It is nice to go down memory lane sometimes win/lose/draw but keep smiling. John.
john, you talk about being well entered up. Do you realise it costs about £60 to enter a race. I am only working class and only enter when I intent to run.
Dropped 1lb. Every little helps as the woman who peed in the sea said.
Hi Colin,
Year ago when I was in the game trainers would have a horse well entered up . Soon as they would hit a place the trainer would have them out the next week and most times they would win. You leave a long time between races they can go off the boil. Your horse needs a drop in the weights to win. It depends if you want to win or not?. When Tony Mc Coy was a apprentice He would ride for John Mc Manus. Mc Manus said about the skill of Mc Coy he should be handicapped not the horses he rode to win. There is good apprentices about they have to learn there trade like any qualified tradesman. Trainers use apprentices to give the horse a chance of winning in handicaps it seems common sense to me. Anyway good. luck on the next adventure at Wolves . John.
Next race Wolverhampton 17th July.Take your point about apprentices but I prefer a jockey on mine.They get 7lb for a reason.
Hi Colin,
When is your next race for the horse at Newcastle?. I hope you don’t mind me making a suggestion. The winner of the race had a claimer up in the race where your horse finished 3rd. There is a up and coming young apprentice called Ciarian Fallon claiming 7 pounds (Kieran Fallons son) .They say I length to 1lb. If you can get the weight down in one of these small races,he is a good thing to win. My opinion only. Best of luck. John.
I think winner was laid out for that race. Won easy after not much form. We beat all the fancied runners and John still thinks Newcastle will be our best bet.
Hi Colin,
Thanks for the tip, I had a little e/w , your finished 3rd. Black Corton lost also K MC Evoy only had 1 winner at Newmarket and I guess he will be heading back to OZ soon where he gets good rides. Your horse is getting closer to winning. I guess it is only a matter of time and finding the right race for him. John.
Hi Colin,
On your horse at 14/1 E/W likewise Black Corton 14/1 EW. K Mc evoy drew a blank at Royal Ascot.. Good book of rides today Newmarket I am on lucky 15s on them. Best of Luck your horse today should make the frame at least I think. John.
Trainer rung me up tonight and asked me if I wanted to withdraw tomorrow as Mulrennan had rug him and told him the ground at Redcar was drying up fast. I told him no I want to run.Cant see that the going can change from good to soft today to good to firm tomorrow. Even if its sunny tomorrow, our race is 2-05 so it cant dry out by then and if it does quicken up its more likely to affect the later races.Fingers crossed now. 14/1 as I write but might get 20s in the morning.
John, if he doesn’t win tomorrow I will be very disappointed. I will be unhappy if he finishes second. It’s a bad race with a lot of old horses running and if he can’t beat them I can’t see any future.If you see a double figure price anywhere, jump in.
Hi Colin,
Reading the sporting life comment on you horse for the Redcar race. they say best watched goes on better ground. I am not a great lover of racing critics. There is a old saying speak to the organ grinder not the Monkey ?. I guess your trainer knows what he is doing.? Number 7 is my lucky number your horse is 7 on the Race card I believe 13 is unlucky like last time race card 13 -13th day. Will have a look tomorrow again and decide if I put the few shillings e/w on. I guess the ground could be a factor. Anyway best of luck. John.
Hi John, everything in place for Saturday. I’m sure he’ll run well.Never told you to back it before [ always tried his best] but I’m sure you’ll get a run for your money if you fancy having a bet. See what price I can get but will probably risk a few quid.
Good Evening,
Houtzen beaten fair&square no excuses also Chatez a non runner. Ante post is a jinx for me this year. Lets hope Colin has better luck at Redcar Saturday with his horse the ground has come right for him. So could be a big run on the Cards?. John.
Good Day,
Don’t know if any of you have any tips for Ascot?. I have backed the aussie horse e/w Houtzen 25/1 King stand stakes 18th June. Also Chatez hunt cup19th e/w 25/1 also e/w double (betfred) . Top Australian jockey aboard the two of them Kieran mc evoy. Best of Luck whatever you back Ascot. John.
Hi Colin,
Good to hear you also your horse are Tickety -boo. The racing game is a game of perseverance finding the right track/right ground/on the day also a bit of luck and hoping the opposition is not too strong but what you say sounds promising from your trainer a future winner so onwards and upwards to Redcar on the 22nd of June. Good Luck. John.
John, don’t panic, i’m still here.Trainer considered ground was too firm at Donny and advised me not to run.It looked ok to me on the tele but you have to listen to your trainer. He considers we have a winner on our hands and doesn’t want it to jar itself up on firm ground. Looks like next suitable race is Redcar on the 22.
Good Day,
Has anyone seen Colin Holder?. His horse was entered in the 1-20pm Doncaster hope he has not got loose and Colin is running around to find him. John.
Hi Colin,
You wrote (8th May) and said your trainer said your horse would improve for the run which was his last run. So he would have been spot on for Donny fitness wise also would have gone close on the above assumption to hit the net. Shame he is a non runner 1st race Doncaster on the 1st June. Old saying in racing you should strike when the iron is hot. John.
Settled for Doncaster on Saturday.
Hi Colin,
Just a quick one regarding horses running not fit. Trainer Ken Payne (window Payne) would put up Lester Piggot on a odds on favourite another jockey on the outsider and win with that one. Lester said to him one day you want to get your horses fit. Payne was the King of the sellers and running horses not fit also doping. If it went on years ago there is no reason it don’t go on today. If you had a talking horse like MR ED you would never be with out a win. HA-HA. John.
Hi Colin,
When a horse has had a long lay off (7 months) sometimes they need a run and I guess you would not know if the horse is 100% as the horse cant talk I think this reflects the price he was 16/1. He was only beaten a head by Magna Grecia last year. Magna Grecia was favourite and blew right out don’t make sense. I guess if phoenix of Spain had not won Saturday he is entered at Royal Ascot /Coral Eclipse etc . Good efford for a horse to win a group 1 first time out this season he has trained on from last season. Good Luck. John.
John, why would trainer want to sent it all the way to Ireland if it wasn’t fit. Horses cant run if they are not fit.
John,I would have to guess at Steve Cauthen. Hoping for Doncaster next weekend. Need some rain. It’s raining as I write and hope it rains all day. Unusual to want it to rain.
HI Colin,
Iread Ryan Moores column last night he said phoenix of spain would not be fit enough to win been off since last October. So I did not back it today . I guess in life you should follow your own gut felling and ignore the racing critics sometimes. I have missed my chance at a good price my fault. Lack of concentration . I had him backed at 33/1 English 2000 non runner that’s life. Tempted to go to Sandown Park 6th July champions day Coral eclipse . Sandown 10 miles from me Ascot/Kempton/Epsom/Fontwell Brighton But have been to Nottingham/Bath when I had a horse. A quiz for you this jockey rode my horse to finish 2nd at Bath in the eighties he was called the Kentucky Kid any ideas ?. Travelling long distances to race tracks is very tiring as you spend most of the day on your feet also if you add a drop of amber nectar into the mix you sleep well for sure. I have been blitzed with non runners this year but Tiger Woods got me my money back winning at 20/1 on non runners also made a profit so not too bad. I guess your horse will be running at one of your local tracks?. Good Luck. John.
John , you must have made a packet on Phoenix Of Spain.
John, after a bit of study I dont think I fancy travelling all the way to Chelmsford. I’ll ask John to look elsewhere.
Hi Colin,
Chelmsford race track is about 11 years old . So I guess your visit to it will be a new experience for you. I am about 80 miles going south from Chelmsford . I think you have to find a track with a chance of getting a win if it means going south so be it. Best of Luck. John.
Hi John, Coming down your neck of the woods. Horse planning to run at Chelmsford on Thursday 6th June.Ground looking a bit too firm at Wetherby and Donny next week.
Excuse me John, but I seem to remember telling you that the national winner was passed the post if it stood up. I told you the stayers hurdle winner was a good thing and I mentioned that 8/1 winner at York, although admittedly you wouldn’t have had time to back that. I had a tenner ew on Koepka at 10/1. He was favourite but 10/1 ain’t bad. In fact I could have had 20s to lead on the 1st day but my theory about golf is that anybody could lead after day 1. I can’t put tips on here John because I follow the money and i don’t know what I’m backing until the last minute.Believe it or not but the winner I sent in on Saturday wasn’t noticed till late. I posted it and then didn’t have time to back it.Anyway I must go now to look for a few winners for today.
Well Done Colin,
First time you have tipped a winner on this page Golf/Horse racing. Koepka won the golf and was favourite to win it as he won the pga last year. Tiger Woods was ill that why he did not play his game. It would be nice if you could tip up some big price winners before the races on this page like you do in the Competition. Big Juicy Prices not Favourites HA-HA. John.
sent Haqeeba in today 14/1 but not credited.
fancy Copper Knight but too late to tip. Gone off list.
Cheers Jason, April money sent to paypal and was transfered to my account within seconds.Down the field a bit this month but keep trying, you never know.
John don’t usually bet on golf but think Koepka wont be far away.
Good Evening,
Can lightning strike twice ?. For the Tiger after masters win. I was on at 20/1. 019 PGA championship starts the 16th May. I am on at 12/1 £10 E/W William Hill 7 places one fifth the odds . Will the Tiger roar ?. No flash in the pan last time. Well done if anyone backed him last time 20/1. Shame Colin Backed Justin Rose. He could have had a few shillings in his pocket if he had been on the Tiger. Good Luck. John.
Not expecting any drop in the weights.
Johns worry before the race was that he hadn’t run for 8 months. He told the jockey to jump out and drop in about 6th for the 1st circuit and then make a move about 3 out and ride him to the line. the jockey did what he was told but with hindsight, having watched the race when I got home,the jockey ought te have been 2 off the fence so that he could move out when he wanted but he was on the rail and couldn’t move out till in the straight and the leaders got first run. I was satisfied with the run considering the lay off and as I said before will be better for the race. I had to put 17pound each way on for my son and two friends but I had it on at 20s with William Hill 1/5 the odds first four.I dont know who backed it on course but it certainly wasn’t me and the trainer doesn’t bet.
Hi Colin,
Your horse was backed across the boards 25/1 to 12/1 he just failed to make the frame. I guess you left the few shillings in the bookies satchel . A seven pound drop in the weights should put your horse bang there in the same grade. Nevertheless a definite improvement best run to date. John.
Dont think I’ll be punting. Prize money will be ok. In 1st 8 would cover expenses for the day but I’ll be disappointed if he cant get in 1st 3. Fingers crossed.
Hi Colin,
Good luck for tomorrow . 13 runners on the 13th day unlucky for some hope not for you. There is prize money down to eight places so there is a chance he can pick up some crumbs if not 100 per cent fit. Are you putting the few shillings down?. Best of luck. John.
Hi Colin’
The late Eddie Reavey ( ex jump jockey / Trainer) would say if you had a horse that can finish in the first six in a maiden should be capable of winning a small race or seller. Looking at the form of your horse he falls into that category and a chance of winning. Best of luck whatever happens Monday. John.
All ready for Monday. Trying his best, but so will everybody else. Its a matter of sifting through the form and see what you fancy. I would hope that muftackker could be better than 60 rated. His half brother[ie the foal his mother had the year before him] won the Ebor laast year so you can see why I have my fingers crossed. Whatever happens on Monday John says he will improve for the run.
If anyone was interested, which looks unlikely, sorry you are too late, as I am taking two more friendsfrom home.
Hi everybody, if any of you guys live in the midlands and fancy a free day at Wolverhampton on Monday the 13th, give me a shout. I will have a couple of spare tickets and anyone is welcome to come with me. I am not a rich owner, born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Just an ordinary working class bloke who has worked all his life.
Hi Colin,
I thought youknowwhatimeanharry was getting past his best but it looks likes his trainer has freshened him up and back to his best. I was thinking taking on the Mullins team in there back yard was a tough task and at 16/1 was not fancied on his recent form but what do I know. You will have to give us the nod and the wink to get the few shillings on your horse when he runs if he is fancied. John.
Hi John, it always comes to those who wait, so I hope you got stuck in to unwhatimeanharry. Before I look at the competition I am expecting you to be top if the pile.
Follow the money John. Only way to make it pay. Talking about Muftakker, this could be his best chance so far as the handicapper dropped him 8lbs after his last run. Having a ride up to stable next week. I’ll give you an update then.
Hi Colin,
What a Extraordinaire man you are winning the competition again. I think it is a bit more then luck. you say your horse ( Muftakker) is the best in the Trainers stable?. Lets hope he follows in your footsteps and you get the double up. ( Double Bubble). John.
Commiserations to Jenky13 for being second in the competition two months running. You will have to try a little bit harder this month. You must have thought you had it in the bag until that lucky colin holder came with a 10/1 winner on the last day. All the best for May. Hope you haven’t burnt yourself out with your last two efforts.
Hi Colin,
Good to hear your horse will be back in action May 13th and hope for a big run. Just a mention if you contact the racing post and mention that you are a registered racehorse owner and on the day of your birthday you will get a mention in the birthday Honors list for owners past and present in the paper. I will be in there in October !st. It is a little something for those that have invested in the game past and present with out owners there would be no racing and a difficult game to show a profit. I guess it is better then a kick up the A– E. Good Luck. John.

John. I stopped backing ante post years ago. It ain’t worth it.Muftakker definitely runs on 13th. One mile six at Wolverhampton. 0-60 race so will be top weight but going ok at home and will be trying it’s best.Should get a good price as it’s from a small stable that hasn’t had a winner for over 3 years. That’s not the trainer’s fault, he hasn’t got the horses. Muftakker is the best he’s got. John has had plenty of winners in the past and todays lot are fed and trained the same but they aren’t good enough so I’m hoping mine changes his luck.Paul Mulrennan will be riding if he is at Wolverhampton that day. Need a 10/1 winner tomorrow. Had some bad luck this month.
Hi Colin,
Would you Adam & Eve it another non runner. Phoenix of Spain withdrawn today from the 2000 guineas Saturday. I guess it was a big ask for a horse to win a big race without a run this year. There will be another race another day there is a big race in him I believe . Is your horse running on the 13th May you mentioned it was earlier in a e-mail on this page. I like to get in early to get the big prices as you know sometimes it pays off other times non runners . That’s the name of the game. Good Luck. John.
Dear Trevor Deyes,
The deadline for changing a tip is about 3 minutes before the scheduled off of the race. After this deadline the tip cannot be changed anymore. The reason is that I don’t have data about the exact time when the race goes “in-play”. That’s why I have to use the buffer of 3 minutes.
This hard deadline is valid no matter if the tip refers to a runner or a non-runner. The reason is that I get the results of the races in the night following the races. At the time when the race goes off I don’t have data about non-runners.
This rule is applied equally to all participants. So it has implicit a certain degree of fairness.
All change requests are processed like this: When we receive the change request, we check first the deadline (3 minutes before the off).
Then we update the database and double check if the technical update was successful. Only then we send the confirmation message to the user. Perhaps you did not read the message with attention.
I have double checked the database again. Unfortunately I have to confirm that your tip for this day was the non-runner. Right now there is
little I can do. Any change which is not clearly technically motivated could be considered an unfair bias.
Hi John comment taken but I received an email stating that BOTANI HAD BEEN CHANGED AS MY NAP AND I OK IT
HI John Not heard anything back from you regarding my change of a non runner
ADDEYBB 3.35 SANDOWN F O R BOTANI 8.15 KILBEGGAN FRIDAY 26TH APRIL THANK YOU
Dear Trevor Deyes,
I have checked out the database. It appears that the results are displayed correctly.
The winner of the 20:10 Kilbeggan race was Botani. It is marked correctly as winner in the database.
I found your selections as Addeybb at Sandown 15:35 (Non-runner, as you said). You might have seen an error message when you submitted the second tip. I am sorry to confirm that I cannot change anything based on emails.
His John Can you look at my selections for Friday noticed I had a non runner 3.3S Sandown Changed to a W Mulling horse in the 8.10 Kilbeggan which won 5/6 thank you
Morning everybody, six days left of the competition and plenty in with a chance. Get tipping and best of luck to everyone. Most open ever, I think.
Good Evening,
Goes to show no nailed on certain Favourites 2 winners 1 second one PU. Disappointing . That’s why you never see a poor bookie . The way my horse luck is I think I might stick to the golf if the 2000 guineas tip fails. Good Luck. John.
Good Day,
The p Nicholls team have good chances last 4 races at Chepstow I guess popular with the lucky 15 players. Happy Easter. Good Luck. John.

I was runner up in the March competition but haven’t received the prize.
It’s the first time I’ve won a prize in the tipster competition so is there something I need to do that I’m not aware of?
Regards jenky13
Just sent Golden Birthday 8/1 in for my tip. Two lengths in front at last and fell.What can you do. Answer. Try again tomorrow.
Good Morning,
Made a mistake yesterday. Phoenix of Spain is a colt not a filly he is in the 2000 guineas 4th May 3-35pm. Backed him (double carpet) 33/1. Good Luck. John.
Good Evening,
The 1000/2000 guineas coming up in May 4th/5th. Phoenix of Spain (1000 guinea entry) Beaten a hd end of last season group 1 by Magna Grecia after been hampered . Backed her today 33/1 E/W Betfred . If she has trained on must have a decent chance. Good Luck . John.
Hi Colin,
Don’t forget to enter your horse for 13th May otherwise he cant run?. As Tiger Woods goes I would not say the sports injuries he has had was brought on by himself they were sports injuries brought on by playing golf and he became addicted to pain killers the last fusion back operation seems to have worked going on the way he played in the Masters a true champion. I am in constant pain in my knees when I walk but fortunately I am not addicted to drugs/ or drink. Good Luck with your horse when he runs. John.
Hi John, Glad Woods won for you but I was pleased for him as he has gone through a lot in the last 10 years. Unfortunately a lot was brought on by himself.
Hi Colin,
You cant say I did not give you the tip Tiger Woods in advance at 20/1. Brilliant golf entertainment Saturday/Sunday BBC 2 12 hours Tiger played a great game up with the leaders all the way. Shame you backed Justin Rose as you said you did. Got a few shillings in the kitty now after Tigers win an recouped ante post non runners at Cheltenham. Football bets I expect you know anyway . The betting shops do football coupons select your team win/draw/away all fixed prices in a accumulator 4 teams upwards hand it in get the receipt tells you how much you have to come if you win also the teams you selected a fun bet for a couple of quid or whatever you want to put on. I notice you say you horse is running 13th May, Must be 8 months he has been of long time. Hope he wins a few races for you to recoup training fees/vets etc.They say patience is a virtue . Good Luck. John.
Forgot to say , looks like Muftakker running at Wolverhampton on Monday 13th May.
Just typical. Had 6 £2 doubles, 4 £3 trebles and £10 4 fold,Got £162 back but Forfar cost me over£1500.Honestly I haven’t had a full football bet up this season or last.
Hi John,I backed stupid Justin Rose.I only saw him take 5 shots yesterday and he made a balls of 4 of them. Cant win at football either.My luck is so bad at football, I’ll give you an example. I have backed Brentford to lose away twice this year and they are the only two matches they have won away.Dont laugh too much when I tell you I have backed them to lose tomorrow. I have backed 4 that look good value Charlton, Reading, Alloa and Forfar. 6 doubles 4 trebles and 4 fold.Yes I had 20ew on Tiger Roll with 365. As I said they gave me 20 back but I am disappointed because I was expected a free £40 bet on the first televised race tomorrow but they tell me I dont qualify as I put it on on thursday and they teated that as ante post.
Hi Colin,
You were right about the national fav and I guess you made a few bob. The ground change went against my selection. They had heavy rain at Aintree then watered the ground keeping the going soft crazy. Not much luck with non runners ante post this year. One of my selections on this page last year was Tiger Woods (masters) he was placed so got a bit back. Backed him today at 20/1 e/w 6 places Betfred quarter the odds for the tournament tomorrow. He had a back operation so if it holds up he should be there abouts and capable of winning. Good Luck. John.
John, if favourite stands up it’s past the post.It’s 7/2 with 365 and if it loses I get half my money back.That makes it a 7/1 chance. You’ll not get a better bet this week.
Good Evening,
I know the grand national is a pin stickers game but over recent years better horses are entered in it. The favourite is very short at around 4/1. I backed Warriors Tale in December at 15/2 under top weight at the Aintree course he won well. I think he is worth a E/W squeak at 66/1 (William Hill) 5, places. I backed him today. Good Luck with what ever you back. John.
February sorted.Thanks Jason.
Colin, your winnings for Feb have been sent.
Jenky13, yes mate you will qualify for 2nd place
Assuming the answer to Colin’s question is that winners are still paid, do I qualify as runner up for March as the two people in 2nd and 3rd did not make the required minimum 15 selections?
I have sent Jason two e-mails this month and as yet I haven’t had a reply. They were regarding the February competition. Do winners still get paid or is it now just a fun competition.Whoever wins the March competition would be advised not to buy their partner a present on the strength of getting £100 pounds within a few days of March ending.
Good Morning,
What a palaver at Sandown Saturday in the 1-50 race. Two winning posts one for chase course /one for the hurdle course. The judge called the winner on the chase course ( should have gone to specsavers) instead of the hurdle post.The poor bookies had to pay out twice A hhhhhhhhhhhhh. Backed Malaya at 5/1 betfred Saturday e/w best odds guaranteed pleasant surprise returned 7/1. Cheltenham Tuesday will need our thinking caps on a hard meeting to get the winners. Best of Luck. John.
Good Day Colin,
Went in Betfreds this morning to back Extra Mag would you believe it a non runner. Lucky I was not on ante post like many were on during the week at 20/1. Hope your horse is not a non runner next Month after that long wait?. Good luck. John.
Good Evening Colin,
Thank you for your concern yes I am alive and kicking. Sorry to say my two horses are non runners at Cheltenham which has put me a little bit behind. There has been quite a a lot of horses this year with setbacks some well fancied. I will now wait until the day to bet. Anyway Saturday Extra Mag has been backed 20/ to8/1 for the imperial cup Saturday Sandown Park. Martin Pipe would farm this race in the past and go for the double at Cheltenham. The value has gone on Extra Mag I guess he will go close of 10 stone. Two women talking about going to watch the boat race one said if Oxford win I will buy the winning team a drink the other women replies I will kiss the winning teams cox. COX I said. Keep Smiling. Good Luck. John.
Morning everybody,I hope you will all join me for the concern regarding the whereabouts of John King. Nobody has seen or heard from him for over a month and it is completely against his nature.Anyone with information should contact this page asap, as he has two ante-post bets running next week.
Hi Colin,
I back ante post every year. I have two 33/1 shots backed already only way to get the big prices but it is a risk. The flu equine could be a problem as it will hold up the Cheltenham training programme . I have some lucky 15s on hold at the moment ante post. The only way you can get your money back is if the meeting is withdrawn , Fair play to Sky Bet festival money back non runners Cheltenham races. They say racing could be back next Wednesday but who knows for sure . Good Luck. John.
John, be careful with your Cheltenham betting. Most of the bookies are non runner no bet on the championship races ie Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Stayers Hurdle and Champion Chase but only Sky Bet are non runner no bet on all Cheltenham races.
Good Day,
Watched casko D airy at Sandown recently travelled well on the bridle all the way a round until the final stages until got boxed in. Could be more to come improvement entered Albert Bartlett backed him today 33/1 e/w . The Albert Bartlett spuds are not bad will have some in my colcannon on ST Patricks day also some of the black stuff washed down might stretch to a couple of bottles of bolly if the horses perform at the Festival. Best Of Luck John.
Hi Colin,
You have to have a sense of humour in the racing game ups and many downs . You say your tips getting caught on the line you might need another part time hobby fly fishing and get some trout caught on the line. I might join you. Studying form for Cheltenham at present. Good Luck. John.
That’s what I call crap tipping. Looks like backing last two to pull me out of the proverbial.
Only one meeting this afternoon and one tonight, so more time to study. Anybody want the benefit of my experience might fancy a couple of bets namely 4-45 Sajanjl, Quantam Of Solace 2-20 andMuratello 2-55. 3 singles and a treble. Loch Linnhe 4-30, Archimedes 5-45,Macs Blessing 6-45 and Windforpower 7-15. Lucky 15. Other fancies are 3-25 Way out West[small ew] 4-00 Royals and Rebels [small ew] 4-10 Flood Defence 5-15 Grey Destiny 6-15 Pearl Spectre [small stake].Fingers crossed and good luck[you’ll need it] to anybody backing any of these.
Just not meant to post a winner. 8/1 today. Length in front inside last and caught literally 5 yards from the line.Try again tomorrow.
Usual start to Feb competition. 11 to 1 took lead in last furlong then collared close home. Then backed Nonios 15/2 in last. All about luck which you send in. Haven’t posted a winner for ages but backed a lot.Fingers crossed for rest of month.
This time I come with good news: The tipping competition is online again. Thanks for your patience.
I am sorry to tell you that we have again problems with the data update. If somebody posted a winner which might have an impact on the results of this month competition then please let me know. I shall update it manually. Again sorry!
Hi Colin.
Thank you for your kind remarks also invite to phone/text you. I prefer to write comments/tips on this page as it is a wider audience and it don’t cost anything on this page. Before Uknowwhatimeanharry ran Saturday I did mention I had backed him for the stayers at 33/1 March. You think the Fav will win it certainly has a good chance. Sometimes that uphill finish at Cheltenham finds them out.I haven’t lost hope on harry he has been there and done it. Maybe not the force he was but I have not given up on him yet. the competition page has gone Kaput as they say in Germany. Good Luck. John.
What’s the problem with the tipster competition?
John, I can tell you are a good bloke with all your comments , but to tell you the truth I get a bit peed off with all the comments about the tipping competition. I’m not really bothered how it’s run cos at the end of the day it’s only i bit of fun. Admitted Sp would be better but if you want to play you have to abide by the rules. I hope you haven’t chucked any money away on Unowhatimeanharry for the stayers cos I think Paisley Park is a good bet.Ring me up sometime I’d love a natter with you about horses. Phone call are cheap and texts are more personnal than writing on here.That horse isn’t running tomorrow.
Hi Colin’
I think you misread what I said concerning the 50/1 sp that a competitor napped in the competition none of the other punters failed to get in winning distance. I said to Jason to cap the price to 33/1 which he did it is now capped again to 16/1. Would it be fair to say you won the competition with big price winners?. It may be shite to you but it is common sense to me. The competition is like a lottery you don’t have to know anything about horses to enter it so it gives everyone a chance. Unnowwhatimeanharry did not run well Saturday as he is getting long in the tooth but he is a 11 times winner I back him out of respect as he won me a good few shillings and the punters on this site in his hey day notably 25/1 win Cheltenham 016. I will be looking out for your tip Tuesday hope it wins and breaks your duck as you have not tipped a winner before the race on this page . Good to hear your horse is back in work and he goes on to win races he will need to cover training fees/vets bills/grub/ etc. I guess he has eaten a big hole in your pocket already. Good Luck. John.
Jonny Sue 1-40 Down Royal on Tuesday.
There isn’t have some shite talked on this page.The leader of this month’s competition has tipped 8 winners and the second 10 winners.Do they honestly deserve to be caught by somebody sticking a pin in a 50/1 shot and sending that in. I don’t think so. In case anybody checks and says I don’t know what I’m talking about cos I haven’t sent a winner in for ages, they would be mistaken. I bet all afternoon every day and would fancy myself against anybody. I honestly show a profit from horse racing, but you cant win the competition without a few outsiders and they aren’t the ones I tend to back. I do study form and pick a few outsiders out ,but you can only send one tip in. You might back 6 winners and a couple of losers in a day but if you then send a loser in, that’s how it goes.I’ve finished for this month but will be raring to go in FebruaryFor anybody interested Muftakker is doing one canter a day until the end of January building up to two in Feb then proper work in March. Hopefully be ready end of April.Got a tip for horse on Tuesday. Cant think of its name so will look up and post in a minute.
Mr T,
Quoting your comment on November 26th to Johann saying if you gambled you would use a site like Betfair.It makes me wonder what you are doing on this site as it is a gaming site and you don’t gamble as you say. What is your interest in the site?. Colins comment on the27th November says the company is tied up with Betfair.They are running a business not in it for the good of there health. Are you sure you&Colin are not tied up in the A- Team. As he puffed on his big cigar he said I love it when a plan comes together . HEE- HO-HO-HA-HA. Good Luck. John.
33/1.16/1.10/1
I can’t believe that we are still banging on about this. Surely
The only way to make it fair for everyone is to go by SPs
That way no one can argue the toss
As the meercats say
SIMPLES!
Good Morning,
For the fans of Youknowwhatimeanharry he is entered at Cheltenham 3-35pm as a trial for the stayers hurdle March festival meeting. I have backed him at 33/1 for the stayers on 26/12/18 Betfred ante post. Win/lose/draw he don’t owe me anything. Hope he goes well Saturday. Have not found anything under the radar yet for the festival meeting. Let you know if I find one at a juicy price. Best of Luck. John.
I am a technical person. I know about databases, software structures and that like. Jason is the person who knows about horse racing. I am going to discuss this issue with him – again.
My personal impression is that the rule of 16/1 is fair as it helps persons who know very well about horse racing. If we use a high cap (or no cap at all) there will always be a few participants who just submitted outsiders with high odds – and won by chance. Then these persons are at the top of the table – for one month.
I have been thinking about the question for a longer time: How should look a rule that the winner of our competition is a person who submits profitable tips in the long run. Not just submitting outsiders – and sooner or later one of them will win and bring the participant at the top of the table.
There are many participants in the competition and almost every month one will be at the top of the table – just betting on outsiders, who won by chance. In the long run this strategy leads to losses. However, in one month it might bring you at the top of the table – if you know about horses or not.
To some extent I agree to Colin’s point: Colin suspected that they don’t back their own tips with real money.
MR T,
I addressed my e-mail to Johann not you. I don’t think me or any of the other competitors have to accept your comments unless you work for the company it is up to Johann. I mentioned a long time ago about putting a cap on 50/1 shots that don’t win very often and if some one naps one it wipes every one out in one go. I did say 33/1-16/1- 10/1 did not make any difference. Over the last two months there seems to be a divide between the top and bottom of the league table caused by the 16/1 restriction my opinion. John.
Hi Johann,
Just a mention about the restricted price of 16/1. Captains inn won at 20/1 yesterday yet the price you can have is 16/1 a couple of the competitors had it as there nap. I don’t know who the bright spark who wanted to change from 33/1 to 16/1 then wanted to drop to 10/1 crazy. If 33/1 was in operation it gives the competitors at the bottom half of the table to get in to contention and have a chance as the leader is on 46 points a big gap to make up many 16/1 shots I guess. The Cheltenham Festival is coming up soon March where many big price horses win 20/1-25/1-33/1-etc. At 33/1 it gives everyone a fair crack of the whip no matter what way they pick there horses. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Been sarcastic is a low form of wit not in my book. Racehorses in Ireland have Guinness ,Oats , Barley , Eggs, in there feed high protein . Maybe that is why the irish have the best racehorses . Having the craic in racing is well known, watch I,T.V, racing Saturday?. As you say I Know F,A, about Muftakker. I do know he was in Freddie Heads stable (France) and owned by a top arab owner a Sheik. Top trainers/owners wont keep a horse that is unlikely to win as they want a good stallion for breeding that’s why Muftakker went to the sales. You have had him gelded to bring out improvement hope it works. I live in the real World. Good Luck. John.
Many thank’s for comp payment winnings received,a nice way to start the year,sorry Rosey99 for just nicking it on last day.
hope all have a health and wealthy new year🎄.
John, I don’t know whether you are trying to be nice, funny or sarcastic but the truth is you know FA about Muftakker. You know his results which could be better, but you don’t know how he has been pushed to his maximum potential or not.He is going for his scan at 1 o’clock on Monday. After that it’s all systems go hopefully. I think what I said was that he wouldn’t be ready until the grass season starts. There’s no reason why he wont be suited to Newcastle.Doesn’t matter whether you race on grass or sand you have to have the will to win and the necessary handicap to give you a chance. Happy punting John. Cheers Colin.
Hi Colin,
Happy birthday to your horse (January 1st) . I guess a bucket of Guinness /oats/barley/6 raw eggs all mixed in would be the order of the day after that he should be bucking like a stag. Not -ucking like a buck as he is a gelding . HA-HA. You said in your earlier e-mail that he is going back on the turf?. I would say he would have his work cut out on the grass as it is fast my opinion only . Anyway hope he wins for you. Happy new year to everyone . Good Luck. John.
No racing for three days so the perfect time to wish everybody who visits this site a lovely christmas and a winner loaded New Year. The best of luck and good health to all of you and finally a clean bill of health for Muftakker.Cheers Colin.
Good Day,
Harry fell when in contention . He would have had the favourite beat who knows if he would have won that is racing. The Christmas craic. What does santa suffer from if he gets stuck in a chimney Claustrophobia . What is green and goes Ribbet-Ribbet a Mistle Toad. Happy Christmas. John.
Good Evening
Looks like there is a few shillings down on Youknowwhatimeanharry ( 9/2) sunday now Burlington Bertie one hundred to thirty and 3/1 in places. Best of Luck if you are on. John.
Good Day’
It is a good felling if you can tip up a winner on this page and you picked it yourself well before the race and it wins or placed so you win money. I highlighted the Skelton boys during the summer a real money winning combination. They went on to beat Martin pipes record for fastest 100 n/h winners. Our old money spinner Youknowwhatimeanharry over the last 2 years has been a good servant winning recently 11/4 .He is entered for the long walk hurdle Ascot Saturday 22nd. I have backed him at 9/2 (Ladbrokes) Christmas humour. What do you get if you cross santa with a duck a Christmas Quacker. The wife was laying in bed reading a history book she says once a King always a King once a Knight is enough I replied at my age once a week is enough. HE-HE-HE-Tee-Hee. For those that are here /there/everywhere for those that are not all there. A happy Christmas and be lucky. Good Luck. John.
Ever been had. Just had £2 forecast on Mauna Key and Getadollar at 110 to 1. Watched the race and cheered the first two home. Won £220. Checked my balance at 365. Nothing credited, thought something had got disqualified then realised it was Dollarmix that was 2nd. What a walley.
Fancy Getadollar but too late to post.
Royal Rattle a bit unlucky tonight CH nearly a place
whether SP or BSP is used, personally I would not have a price cap at all. if someone wins by picking a 100 to 1 winner on last day, good luck to them!
Hi Joe,
The old boy is back hitting the net you -know-what-I-mean. Did you get the few shillings on?. If so were goin-down the pub come-on-urry up arry -come-on. I guess Ireland next race then Cheltenham Festival March. HURRY-UP-HARRY song (sham 69) . He brushed them aside today. Bottoms up. John.
Hi John
i too am a follower of Harry and i really do believe it will hack up today and at very reasonable odds 7/2
Regards Joe
Hi Joe,
I absolutely agree what you say. There are three types of competitors in the competition .The knowledgeable racehorse/punter The pin sticker lottery type punter the type that are not interested in the competition as you can see by there monthly record very rarely have a winner also subscribe about half the monthly naps. There in it to cause problems with the system. So I guess it is a problem to keep every one happy. Youknowwhatimeanharry is at Newbury done all his followers a favour in the past. I backed him 016 Albert Bartlett Cheltenham festival at 25/1 ante post won at 11/1 he had a sequence of consecutive wins I tipped him up on this page a little gold mine it was for all his followers. I think he can go close today, had wind surgery cheek pieces applied today 6lbpull in weights how long as old age has not caught up with him. Best of luck. John.
I also believe that it should be settled on SP prices it makes so much more sense and its the the same for everyone
There are now only three players who are in the position to win as of yesterday
A 20/1 winner would still leave loads of players in the running.
I myself fancy a long shot today but there is absolutely no point in picking a horse today as I cannot win it with the amount of points I have if the most I could get is 16
Regards Joe Raggs (Greg 62)
Good evening,
Old saying he who pays the piper calls the tune. I punt with Betfred Saturdays lucky 15 three times the odds one winner/best odds on certain meetings/ a bonus 4 winners lucky 15. I think a good deal. As Johann says the competition is free. I guess does it really matter what price the horse is 33/1-16/1-10/1. At the end of the day its about getting the winner after all it is the same for every one so no advantage to any one. John.
I tipped Shantung yesterday and it hasn’t registered. Dont worry wont make any difference thi month. Too many hard luck stories.
We have to be aware that the competition is for free. For this reason we are restricted regarding the costs and what data we can access. In the moment BSP appears to be the best solution we can offer. However, I am looking out for better solutions.
Mr T, I agree with you and nothing could be simpler than SP, but I think for some reason they are tied to betfair. A few days ago Harry Gee tipped a 12/1 and 2 10/1s on consecutive days and they all paid above 16s. I suggested a 10/1 limit as it is after 10/1 that the betfair prices start to spiral out of control. 16/1 was decided upon which is in the right direction but as Johann says, it’s the same for everybody.
Johann,
Please do not get me wrong. If I gambled, I would use a site similar to Betfair etc., simply because they pay over the odds.
However, in a competition like this one, the only fair way, in my opinion, is that it should be calculated on a level playing field, ie.,SP prices. You can give me all this spiel about levelling out at the end of a month but I am sorry, I do not buy it. I assume that I am the only person who thinks this as nobody else seems to comment so we will have to agree to disagree.
I apologise for keep going on about how unfair BSP is but today takes the biscuit. How can you have a 6/1 winner pay more than a 7/1 winner? Mr T
Who’se this Popsie52. Is it Templegate in disguise. Doing well whoever it is.
Hi Sandra, remember that Anniversarie now. It was wrong in the head so got rid. Mufftaker coming on ok. Will be scanned after christmas then hopefully all systems go.
Good Evening,
The wife said to me how did that horse get on you backed at ten to one today?. I replied they had to send out a search party as it was getting dark it finished at ten past four. Believe me I live in the real world not the fantasy world. HA-HA . Good Luck. John.
Hi Paul,
I was backing the Skelton summer horses until the handicapper got them. I have been monitoring there winter horses with out backing them sorry to say they had 4 winners Saturday. I had switched my attentions on Saturdays to P. Nicholls had first 2 winners early prices. Quel Destin 5/1 Ibis du rheu 6/1 also Vincente (lost) also Frodon 2nd at 16/1 lucky 15 win. Made a profit that is what it is all about. Good Luck. John.

Hi Sandra, just noticed you came back to life on the 15th. I was beginning to think you’d emigrated. I dont know what Anniversarie Sandra is all about. Presume it’s a horse. I’ve had a few good priced placed horses this month but couldn’t find a winner till today but it only started at 5/1. I had a tenner ew on it this lunch time at 18/1 so that’s better than winning competition. Fancy one tomorrow. Cougar Kid at Hereford. Unlucky loser last week when it cost me 150 quid so had 20 ew on it at 9/2 tomorrow.Keep posting as I miss the banter otherwise hope you and Peter have a good christmas.
Good morning,
Hard Yakka with the heavy going Melbourne cup this morning Youngstar finished 6th certain bookies were paying 4/5/6/7 places quarter the odds if you were on at 16/1 4/1 for a place. Youngstar finished 8/1 the dollars were on. So all was not lost cobbers. John.
Good Evening,
I tipped up Max Dynamite last year for the cup at Flemington ante post 33/1 finished 3rd . The irish dominated the race first three past the post. The race is at 4am tomorrow morning. I think Youngstar has a good chance for the home side at 16/1 . The brilliant Craig Williams has the ride. The locals will be shouting come-on -cobber-will you?. Good Luck. John.
Log in to Select Nap and take it from there.
I’ve registered to join the tipping Comp but I can’t see where to post selections. Can anyone help please?
New to this WordPress thing.
Thanks
John, of course he’ll run again. He’s only walking at the moment but John says he is showing that he is keen to start moving again, but we are going to take our time and look forward to a good go on the grass next year.
Hi Colin,
I guess you had a captive audience on this page during the last year concerning your horse Muftakker. Will he ever race again?. How is the welfare of your horse?. Is he chomping at the bit raring to go?. You say you are I would be difficult if you have false teeth biting on the bit. HA-HA. John.
Hi Colin,
I guess during the last year you have held a captivate audience on this page concerning your horse Muftakker . Will he ever race again?. How is the welfare of the horse, Is he chomping at the bit waiting to go?. You said you are?. HA-HA. John.
Hi Colin H
You wouldn’t believe it but I’ve been getting winners in for the last 4/5 weeks at decent prices but you just know that it’s all going to go bandy come Thursday.
Hi Colin Holder, I understand your point. However 10/1 is a little low. We are going to try with 16. Lets see how it works out.
Joe Raggs, hi Joe, a bit if good tipping these last few days,but there’ll be no prizes for October, so you should have saved yourself till Thursday.Cheers Colin. PS I am chomping at the bit but waiting for a flying start on Thursday.
Mr T, Benalmadena on costa del sol.I personally would welcome a 10 to 1 limit. This would get rid of the lucky pin mob who only tip 20 to 1 shots but probably dont back their own naps.
Hi Guys
As Johann has pointed out, it looks like the comp is back up and running after the technical issues so we will kick off again as of Nov 1st.
With regards to SP, we have to take data from Betfair and obviously Betfair uses BSP. We did put a restriction on winning odds of 33.00 to prevent huge winners. I understand that you are saying BSP odds can be higher, but they are correct and its the same for everybody, so it can’t be unfair.
Looking forward to resuming the NAP comp again and hopefully everything runs smoothly
Attheraces selector must only be available in Britain as I cant log in. As a matter of interest I was having the following numbers 9 8 12 1 3 3 2. If they come up I’ll be able to tell my hard luck story tomorrow.
Mr T, if it was broke it was broke. You can’t blame the organisers. At least they put £150 a month in and I don’t know what they get out of it. Like you I would prefer SP but there must be a reason why they are using BF starting prices. They aren’t too bad until you get to the teens of SP and that’s when the BF prices go mad and the competition is won.I have been finding some decent priced winners lately but whether I can sent the right ones in for the competition is a different matter.I’m in Spain at the moment but home on Wednesday ready for an assault on the November comp.Just going to enter the attheraces selector but pure guesswork as I haven’t even got a paper.
Finally good news. The tipping competition is online again. We will test a bit until Nov, 1 and then start again.
Thanks a lot for your patience.
🐴 Back working CH did you get paid for last one good luck all
Will the repair man arrive in time for November restart. Doubt it.
Hi Colin,
I don’t dispute what you are saying but if you type in Muftakker racing post and click you will see what I am talking about. I think you should contact them if the information is wrong concerning Muftakker as you are the owner of the horse. As there site is worldwide. Thank you for your phone number. I could be a bit risky putting it on this web page as every one can see it.
John, tell Racing Post website they’ve got the dates wrong if you want, but I definitely bought the horse in September 1917 at Doncaster and John took him home.Just walking 15 mins a day this week.If ever you want to ring me 07964609263.
Hi Colin
According to the Racing Post site Hamdan Al Maktoum owned Muftakker until the 11th April 018 You say you bought the horse 6th September 017. Muftakker had his first race in your name 15th April 018 trainer John Norton. Something don’t add up especially the dates.You said you had a boat holiday around the british isles lucky the boat did not sink other wise they would call you Jonah. HA-HA. You say another holiday adventure with Primera that have gone bust. Maybe buy a lottery ticket for tonight your luck could change. John.
John, Me and John went to the sales at Doncaster in September last year. Muftakker went through the ring that day and John took him home with him. He was gelded later that month.He might have left France in April but I can assure you he only came to John’s yard in September.He had the operation four weeks ago and has been in the stable since. He has started on the walker this week which he’ll do for four weeks then back to the vets for a check up.Then his walking will be stepped up and then get back into full training. Since it happened he hasn’t had to limp at all but we just have to take it one step at a time.Going on holiday in two weeks and should have been coming back with Primera who’ve gone bust . Cost me another £650. If I didn’t have bad luck I wouldn’t have any luck at all.
Hi Colin,
I was looking at the breeding of certain horses including your horse Muftakker. According to the stats Hamdan Al Maktoum owned the horse until 11 April 018 and was trained by Freddy Head (French Trainer) and transferred to your trainer on 11th April 018 also notification of gelded 20th September 017. Yet you posted you bought the horse at the sales on The 6th September 017 seven months difference it don’t make sense?. John.
Hi Colin,
Any improvement in your horses welfare?. Is he doing walking exercises .? I guess they should get the A Team to fix the site the one that puffs on the cigar” Says he loves it when a plan comes together”. There again they might blow it up. HA-HA. Hope your horse is okay. Good Luck. John.
Any idea when the fixer is coming.
Why when I try to select my nap does it say Jason says plus gobbledegook? Please fix it.
Having trouble leaving leaving my tip is it just me or is there problems with the site
Hi MR T,
Thank you for pointing out the error on one of my naps Question of Faith after been corrected from 8.80 to 11 you say it should be 16.19 . I guess a lot of competitors don’t keep track of the game all the time including myself. Look forward to seeing the new programme . Good Luck. John.
unable to access the selection page for the tipping competition
error message sp_LoadRacesJSONexception e
please advise , many thanks
Dear colin holder, dear Mr T,
You are right.
The trouble come from our data provider. In the recent past they changed several times the access policies and the technical access. This way it became necessary that we write e-mails, wait for answers, adapted the scripts … and so on.
Right now I am working to change the scripts that we can access the data from another provider. This requires some technical adaptation and testing. However, it will solve the problem in the long run. (At least this is what I hope 😉
Thanks for your patience.
Johann
Just going to post Dawn Choir but can’t. Might be fixed tomorrow.
I’m sorry to say that the data update is broken again. We are working with the data provider to sort this out.
Johann
I have been credited with a N/R Equitation on the 21st but unfortunately it finished down the field.
Hi Johann
4-10 Ayr 21st September Dalton was a loser it shows on my nap page a non runner in white. Caterrick 11th September Question of Faith won 10/1 sp but returned 8.80 decimal. Can you check the above please?. Thank You. John.
Looks like it was just the evening meeting at Kempton that was the problem. Those that found Acrux, Quicksand and Moving Forward all got settled at @24. Looks like you’ve sorted them all now except WEE JIMMY — Quicksand started 5/6 f and paid @24.
I was credited with 24 with a winner on the 12th it was in the 17:45 at Kempton and won at 6/1. Feel free to correct this error.
No you haven’t. A 5/6 fav cannot pay 24. And there are others. I am aware that there were pc issues at that time but please in the interest of fairness, if your result is not correct for the 12th Sept can you let the forum know. Or any other date for that matter.
Johann
It appears that those who found winners on the 12th September were all paid out at @24 which dosn’t look correct to me.
I don’t know what is going on with the naps selector today. But I picked the winner in the 2-30at Yarmouth. Later when I looked it said that I had not selected a horse today so picked another one that lost. I looked again and its saying that I haven’t picked a horse today again. So now I’m going to pick another one and see what occurs
Any news on when tipping competition is likely to resume?
As there been an issue logging into the competition for 5 days or is it just my phone
Hi Colin,
If a racehorse is out of training for a long time before you bought him. If they have been turned out to grass they will continue eat all the time also stand around with no exercise therefore they put on weight which is pressure on the legs causing arthritic joints /ligament/tendon problems when back in exercise, the ideal exercise is walking when out of training just ticking over keeping fresh like humans if you don’t exercise you seize up with muscle spasms etc. Looks like this flat season is over for your horse. You will have to look forward to next season and hope he makes a full recovery. Best of luck. John.
Hi John,The horse is mine so i’ll just have to stick it out and hope for the best. Apparantly, there are three parts to a tendon and if he had to have an injury he has the one that should be least problem. The vet had to take some blood from his neck and mix it with something. Store it in the fridge for two days ,then inject it into his tendon. He now has to rest and go back in two months to see its ok. So fingers crossed.
HI can’t log in to select choice today?
We have a problem with the data update, I am working to fix it asap. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi Colin hope the operation went okay today. I notice you said you are a bit sluffed which means when a snake loses his hard skin. Maybe you mean stuffed. Going on football injuries ligaments etc similar to horses will be 6 months + for healing. If your horse is on a one year lease you can bale out soon. If you own the horse out right you will have to stick it out into next year also hope for the best when he is back in fast work and he don’t break down. You were so near yet so far you said he needed 2 miles/going to suit also handicapped to be in with a chance and got injured 2 days before the race you must be disappointed . I said to the wife if you keep eating them curries I will send you to the vets for Wind Surgery joking apart. Good Luck. John.
Hi John,John is ok. He wont charge full training fee. Operation is 400 notes, which he’s having done on Monday. See what happens after that.I know he has to go back in 2 months but I’ll have a better idea whats happening after tomorrow. Bit sluffed,but nothing to do but keep fingers crossed.
Hi Colin
Don’t know what sort of contract you have with your trainer?. Is your horse a lease horse/syndicate horse/or do you own the horse outright. You will have to take the horse out of training as you say he is injured and turn him out as training fees are expensive . Maybe send him to a livery stable where you pay for food/keep. The injury sounds serious could be a year out with only walking exercises possible on the information you have given. You could miss next years flat season as well. Could be big expensive decisions for you to make. Anyway good luck. John.
Worse than expected. Got a strain in his leg. Out for at least six months.
My winning nap from yesterday isn’t added to the table? Yourtimeisnow 4:20 Salisbury! It was only 4/1 but winners are hard to come by and I like to see all the results and stats for everyone! Is there a reason?
John, he’s going for a scan tomorrow as a precaution. He’s not lame and John thinks he’s just wrapped himself. He worked ok Tuesday. Sods law I suppose but only 6 runners tomorrow, although Prescott has a 3 yr old in.
Thought I put golden thunderbolt as my nap yesterday but it isn’t showing. Can you check please?
Hi Colin,
Sorry to hear your horse is injured. Hope it is not a tendon problem that is heat in the ankle of the horses front legs which under normal circumstances they should be cool. Tendon problem can be slow healing also career threating and life threating problem for the horse. Hope it is just a knock and he recovers quickly. I am not a vet but I know a bit about horses. Best of luck. John.
Muftakker not running on Friday.Has some heat in one of his front legs. Probably caught it with his back leg on gallops yesterday.Have at least a fortnight’s rest.
Good morning all
It appears that a lot of the competitors names havee gone amiss at the top of the leader board including myself
Regards
Joe Raggs
When am I getting paid for July please. I have a horse to feed.
Hi Colin,
Under the gaming act employees of the company cannot compete in Competitions run by the company. If you are a competitor there is no reason why you cant get paid?. I see your horse has a 7lb allowance for the next race hopefully gives him a fighting chance, Best of Luck. John.
Do competition winners still get paid or is it just for fun these days.Muftakker dropped 7lb next race 7th September but will be 1lb out of the weights.
Sorry to say,
Four 2nds and one pulled up they were all carrying penalties looks like the handicapper caught up with them. Good Luck. John.
Good Afternoon,
Anyone following the jump jockey title will know Johnson booted in 5 winners at Perth Saturday for irish trainer Elliot . The Skelton bros are at Southwell this afternoon with 5 runners lets hope they can respond. Lucky 31 Betfred 4 times the odds one winner best odds guaranteed Southwell . I am on are you.? Best of Luck. John.
Hi MR T
Toilets are called all sorts of names down here the loo, the crapper, The Shi–er the bog the dunny if your from oz ablutions if you were in the forces. insights new idea from Sporting Life and helpful to the punter with more information about horses you would not know about. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
As you know the sporting life is the bible of racing. To get type in to your computer( Todays race cards Sporting Life) click and you are in. It is a good help when betting with the bookmaker. I think your horse is approx. Twelve lengths of the pace that evaluates to 1 length to 1lb. A pull of 5lb will help but not enough to win you are still 7lb adrift maybe a drop in class to grade 6 would help. Anyway I expect your trainer has explained to you the situation . Sir Mark is the handicapper master but I guess his fees might be higher. There is a old saying it cost the same to train a good horse or a bad horse.I think your horse has a chance of a win of a low weight as he has shown a bit of form. Best of Luck. John.
John,
Are “inshights” The latest phrase down South for inside toilets?
By the way, the same information can be obtained on the ATR racecards.
You are right what you say John but i had forgotten. Haven’t usually backed it as I would be satisfied with prize money. I obviously thought he was over priced and good value but obviously the bookies know more than me. I am badly handicapped at the moment and I am hoping for a 5lb drop next Tuesday.I should have had Prescott training it and I would have got in lighter as he always manages it for his horses. Dont give up hope yet he wasn’t suited by the going on Tuesday. Needs it good.Next run looks like Newcaslle 7th Sept. 2 miles.Whats this sporting life you are talking about. I used to get that when I was a lad. Has it made a comeback or is it the racing post you are talking about.
Good Afternoon,
I would like to write a bit about the sporting life which wont concern the pin stickers brigade . On the sporting life race cards it gives the form also there opinion on each horse now they have added a extra help to punters called “inshights” which informs you of horses that have had wind surgery/headgear/change of stable/ahead of the handicapper/etc. A example if anyone had a bet 4-30 Beverly archie perkins won 9/4 ahead of handicapper sporting life comment. I think they should give a warning horse not likely to win in a month of Sundays to save punters losing there money. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Reference to your post May 10th you said you backed your horse E/W 33/1 for your friends at bet 365 then £50 on the nose at 40/1 do you remember.? In todays post you say you have never backed before and had a £100 on today at 66/1 and 80/1. Anyway your horse was not totally disgraced 3rd from last and won a few shillings in prize money. You said your horse was not well handicapped yet you had a hundred on at astronomical prices. Anyone who backs horses at 66/1-80/1-100/1 on no hopers are insane . Horses that cant win should be turned out to grass for the welfare of the horse also vulnerable punters who live in the fantasy world I am glad I am not one of them. I live in the real world. Where yarns go over my head if they didn’t I would work in the Edinburgh woollen mill the can spin some yarns in there. HA-HA. Good Luck. John.
sent a post in this morning to say I dont think he is very well handicapped but got lost somewhere. Anyway trying his best and betting is ridiculous. I have never backed it before but when 365 put it up to 66s I couldnt resist 50 quid on it. It went to 80s so I put another 50 on. Probably wont win but it isnt an 80/1 shot.
Hi my nap from the 10.08.19 that won still hasn’t been registered and was wondering why please
Hi Colin,
All the luck in the world tomorrow for your horse you will need it. Your trainer John , it is nearly4 years since he had a flat winner the jockey 30 rides since last winner . Hope you can end the bad run of losers. If you don’t win there is prize money back to 8 places so should pick up some crumbs at least from eleven runners. I guess the longer distance will suit your horse but I think he has a bit to find. Anyway I wish you the best of luck. John.
Hi CH is it all systems go tomorrow good luck any way few £ ew for me and Royal Rattle Thursday Cheers Paul
My win from 10.8.18 hasn’t been registered
Hi Colin,
Shiver me timbers shipmates (sea Faring talk). I live in Surrey a expensive place anyway the beer is 4 cans john smiths supermarkets £5 I drink Newcastle brown ale 4 bottles pints £6 wine a £5 to £10 a bottle . When I extract a few shillings from the bookies I treat myself to a bottle of Bolly now and then that’s a bit expensive. £ 5 a pint that is normally with waiter service. Well done you won the competition bottoms up you know what it is like with them sailors RUM-B-M-AND-BACKEY ahoy shipmates HA-HA. Good Luck. John.
Been at sea all day yesterday so dont know result of July competition. I was 1p in front with 2 days to go.No doubt somebody passed me. Will someone enlighten me on resullt.John there is wi fi on the ship if you want to pay through the nose for it but as i’m from Yorkshire that means no wi fi. We are not tight but dont like being ripped off. A TIN of John Smiths is £5 on the ship and my next drink on there will be my first.Muftakker got a mark of 67. Higher than I was hoping for.
Hi Colin.
Sorry for the misunderstanding concerning John. Are you sure you are not on a pirate ship ,no internet how long as you don’t have to walk the plank. Hope you hold on at the top of the table very close 1 point in it. Goodwood Tuesday the weather down here has changed cold,windy,wet not glorious for the races but there is sunshine forecast for later this week. Good Luck with the Competition. John.
John, I was talking about my trainer not you.I am one penny in the lead in the competition but i,m in a bad position at sea with no internet and racing post.If anybody tips a winner they will pass me.Have to grin and bear it but wont know result till Wednesday. See somebody tipped a 10/1 yesterday that paid 21/1 at befair sp. Bit ridiculous really.
Top Of The Morning,
Hi Colin,
I guess you are referring to me in your last post too honest for my own good?. I normally put up my tips before the races or statements concerning racing to help fellow punters . Highlighting the Skelton boys is a little gold mine we know they are trying to win which is half the battle against the bookmaker. They get horses from other stables that are not winning and turn them into winners normally by wind surgery also a change of scenery.They could run a three legged donkey and it would be made favourite.They have had a good run With the summer horses. The real N/H season starts in October when the big guns will be out.Harry Skelton is 6/5 to be champion Jockey you could do worse then back him Johnson4/5 to be champion. In can be a Laborious study but it pays off well ahead this Month and you have to live in the real World. Splice the main brace me hearties. I guess you will be familiar with that jargon Colin been on that boat. HA-HA. Good Luck. John.
Hi Paul, your mates horse will be handicapping after today. I dont think it will do much today. I’m on a cruise round Britain. In Belfat today. No wi fi on ship[unless I pay through nose] so I am struggling with the competition. Holding on by a penny.Only today and tomorrow left for me as at sea all day Tuesday.Wont bother after that until I get home Sunday. Dont know how I missed Burnt Sugar yesterday.Pissed in week bebfore and was only up a pound.Looks like Muftakker has a rating of 67 which is more than I was hoping for.Sometimes think John is too honest for his own good.
Hi CH Paul’s and the lads horse at wolves t today looks a hard race will watch with interest for next run good luck in comp going great 👍
Good Day,
I had a lucky 31 4 winners at Uttox and a 2nd . The Shelton boys I wrote a post earlier on this page about there talents anyone following them are in pocket. Harry Skelton booted four in a row in amazing what a team. Not many trainers around can do that. Will be popping the corks tomorrow, good drinking weather good luck if you were on cheers. John.
Hi Colin,
It looks a tough one tomorrow for your horse. There is some in there with fancy breeding credentials on paper but not shown a lot. I think the weight difference is the main concern for your horse with the 3yr olds. Anyway hope he runs well. Happy holidays you are going with the bookies money which is a bonus with your win. Happy days. John.
Hi John, running at Newcastle tomorrow but I’m away for 10 days so wont be going. Ran to a Racing Post rating of 68 at Ripon so that Knackers my hopes of a 50+ rating as he will now be at least 68. Hoping there are some good ones running tomorrow among the 3 year olds otherwise I might be worse off still.Been doing ok tipping this month but had a 20/1 lost in a photo. Sent a 14/1 in at Stratford that finished second to a 16/1 winner. Theres other near misses as well but others will be able to say same. Had a good bet up Saturday Tenner on each and tenner double at 14s and 11s. Started 10s and 7/2.Nice 2070 return. Just in time for my hols.
Good Morning,
Tiger Woods got placed in the open 6th at 25/1. My other four were shouting 4 not placed. A close finish it looked like Tiger was going to win it but faded near the end. John.
Johann,
While checking my results I notice that I have been credited with a N/R Sonnetist on the 3rd July. I wish it hadn’t run but unfortunately according to the Racing Post it finished down the field. Sometimes I wish I wasn’t so honest.
Also, on 16th July I napped Jessie Allan whose Betfair SP was £60.46. Now I understand that their is a limit of 33/1, however, by paying 33 I am effectively only getting 32/1. Just saying. I am assuming it is the same for everyone and if so then no gripe really. Just disappointed. Backed it with William Hill at 33/1 boosted to 36.76/1 so happy bunny really. Would have loved to have had some of that Betfair Price though.
John, as you say he ran a fair race, especially when it was only mile and quarter. Only hope he hasn’t done his handicap mark any harm.
Good Day,
A sports enthusiasts Month. The British open starts Thursday19th to 22nd July and on BBC2 . Here is my tenners worth which I backed today Dustin Johnson £1e/w-12/1 -Tiger Woods 25/1 – Sergio Garcia 30/1 – Shaun Norris 400/1 – Si Woo Kim 500/1 for what it is worth .A bit of entertainment for the weekend. Golf paying 7places. online Paddy Power paying 10 Places. Good Luck. John.
Good Morning. Colin
Your horse run a fair race yesterday. Did you have the few shillings on>? Backed on the off 125/1 to 100/1. and sneaked a bit of 3rd place prize money well done. The boys were at the double Saturday 2 wins N/R and a 3rd at N/A. On the treble Sunday.3 from 3 winners had them Saturday l15 – Sunday a patent. There in action at Worcester tonight 4 entries I will be on. Had to settle for 2nd in world cup. But all in all good Month so far as winning goes. Good Luck. John.
Good Morning Colin,
Hope your horse runs well Monday at Ripon. Seven declared for the race he might be able to sneak a bit of prize money as it pays four places. Got Croatia this afternoon win/place against France . Would be nice to beat them as I am on at 33/1 the win £16.50p the place. £2.50 e/w. It was a good months world cup entertainment for £25 as the other four knocked out. showing a profit on Croatia for the place need the win to get over the £100 mark. Good Luck. John.
Hi, Colin,
I t is a pity you did not have the two of them in a R/F for a S/F it paid £791.49p per unit a small fortune. Anyway you got Al Kherb in the competition puts you in the mix not easy to find 33/1 to one shots looks like you found two in one go 1st and2nd well done. Good Luck. John.
John, this will take some believing. 5 mins before 8 o’clock at Newbury I posted Skill Set 33/1 lost in photo.One minute bebore off I changed my mind to Al kherb won in photo 33/1. Only snag didn’t back it. You can’t back them sort and hope to win.
Hi Colin’
As you say I was knocked of my perch in the competition but I have Croatia in the world cup final Sunday £2-50p e/w at 33/1 the other 4 teams knocked out loss £20 on them. Croatia will pay half the odds runner up at least £16.50p to one £43.75p. So already in profit really need the win but France will be a hard nut to crack. England should have won in the first half but missed there chances. Take nothing away from Croatia they won fair and square a small nation of 4 million people they were the underdogs. Hope they win the world cup. Good Luck. John
just sent 20/1 in. lost in a photo.
Hi Colin,
Knocked of so early in the competition that could be me for the rest of the Month unless I can sneak in a double carpet (33/1) anyway I bet with the bookies on a Saturday win a bit lose a bit. Hope you can find a winnable race for your horse in the future. Good Luck. John.
John back again. Sorry to see you knocked off your perch but to win that competition yoy have to find a 33/1 winner from somewhere otherwise you cant win. It’s all about whose got the luckiest pin, not the most knowledgeable racing man.
John there is a big difference between maidens and handicaps. Dont worry about mine he’ll be ok when handicapped and over 2 miles.
Two Quare fellows nope two aviators they flew in at Worcester 3-40pm Alcock& Brown. Good on ya Harry. What a team the Skelton Bros are. John.
Hi Colin;
I had Pegasus Kid son of Motivator (Derby winner) in the 4-15 at Wolves a class 6 race finished 2nd beaten 11 lengths very poor show . He run in the Pepsi Max maiden class 5 finished 3rd the same race as your horse Mufftaker . I think your horse will need vast improvement to win a flat race on the evidence of the above form. The Shelton boys are making a name for themselves trying to attract owners with big fat wallets I guess to get on the big stage. there is a saying make hay while the sun shines they are banging in the winners long may it last good horses produce winners and put money in your pocket that is what it is all about. I followed Paul Nicholls in his hey day winners every Saturdays. Dan Skelton was assistant trainer Paul Nicholls sometimes it pays to follow the trends. As the world cup goes Croatia 33/1v Russia 66/1 got the two of them at the early prices unfortunate they have clashed so early it would have been nice if they were in the final. Might have a small chance of getting one into the final. England have played well for a young side and I would not write them of yet the cup is wide anyone can win it. Good Luck. John.
John, you are guaranteed one in last eight, but if they play Englannd who will you be shouting for. I know who it would be in your shoes. You can’t let sympathy interfere with business.You appear to be Skelton mad at the moment, but you can’t show a profit in the long run following any stable.
Hi Colin,
Sorry your prediction was wrong about Spain they wont be seeing off Croatia Monday only the scenery on the way back to Spain. I was in a bar in Turkey 010 watching the world cup final when Spain beat Holland. The Skelton boys put four in this afternoon at Uttox what a team they know where the winning post is. Good Luck when your horse runs. John.
Hi Colin,
I do not dispute your opinion. They 5 teams could have went out in the first round. It is like horse racing if you back the favourites you have the edge bearing in mind they are outsiders I have had a run for my money with 3 still in the last 14 teams. On paper Croatia look my best chance of a E/w. Win-lose-draw I have watched every match so far and it has been delightful entertainment . Good Luck. John.
john. your world cup bets are sinking fast. think you’ll only have Croatia left after Monday andSpain should see them off. Not entered horse at Doncaster. Ground too firm. Next chance is Ripon on 16th.
Good Afternoon,
The 5 teams I backed for the world cup are through to the last 16 at big prices. I posted these the 13th of June on this page. Got everything crossed to get the winner or 2nd. Good months entertainment for a small wager. Good luck to those who have backed England playing tonight. Best of luck. John.
GUTTED, was going for my 6th winning nap in a row today 😞 can’t win um all. Not a bad few months tho
Good Morning MR T,
Sunshine here . World cup-Royal Ascot a delight for any sportsman. The Bros are in the bards town this afternoon. 6 runners I am on 25p lucky 63 small bet also e/w accum. 4/5-8/1-12/1-6/1-9/4-7/4 Hatcher the last one has been backed from 9/2 to 13/8. Betfred 5 times one winner lucky 63. Harry rides the horses out win-lose-or draw for prize money gives every one a chance to collect. Amazing how he keeps the horses sound also fit to churn out the winners every week a good team. Best of luck. John.
Hy boys, no excuses, just up against better horses.Paddy said didn’t like being in stalls a long time and got a bit agitated. When they set off he had to chase him up a bit and when they came into straight he was looking about and it took 2 furlongs to get him going.Needs at least 14 furlongs but there are only 12 furlong maidens about, which might be better as it may help him to get a better handicap. Plans are now 12 furlong at Doncaster on 6th July and then a 10 furlong at Ripon 10 days later. He will then get handicapped. Then we can look for a suitable handicap over 14 or 16 furlongs.Dont have any bets until then.
MR T,
No sweat no danger. 3 winners 11/10- 9/4-9/1 and a 2nd £1 win lucky 15 total £143-92p. Im always trying was backed from 9/1 to 3/1 favourite during the day. Best winner in the bet.Pop a couple of corks tomorrow dinnertime. Cheers if you were on. Good luck. John
MR T,
The Skelton trio of runners Fontwell tonight also Henderson Mill Green. I am on . 11/10-2/1-9/1-9/4 Lucky 15. Hopefully get the rub of the Green. Good Luck. John.
Hi John, a maiden race on Sunday.Nothing stands out as being brilliant, but there’s bound to be something hidden away. Mine will be trying his best and you never know. The plan will be to drop in third or fourth[same as everybody else] and hope to move forward at the two pole. He hasn’t got a turn of foot but settles well and just gallops. The Godolphin horse finished 2nd last time out but lost by 12 lengths so can’t be one of their best,John has one in first that might run well. Handicapped off 84 in Ireland but managed to get 80 mark. His horses always try their best. Probably why he hasn’t had any winners lately. On to Paul, I told you your mate’s gang had bought another and 4 of them are going to Donny. Don’t suppose you are one of them that’s going. Not one of the owners maybe as a friend. Anyway they’ve cadged two of my badges.
Hi Colin,
The filly white light looks the one to beat Sunday in the maiden she looks to have everything in her favour on paper. Good draw-up in distance- weight pull of 19lbs from the 4yr olds should put her in the frame. The race is hotter then a Vindallo curry HA-HA. Some unknown sorts in the race from top yards. What are your horses chances ?. Muftakker is priced at 20/1. Anyway best of luck. John.
Mr T,
Did not notice the Shelton boys runners was concentrating on the world match. Russia put 5 of the best in the net good start to my bet. The Skelton boys could put 5 in tonight good luck to them they want to win. Best of Luck. John.
John,
Is it same again tonight at Uttoxeter?
The Skelton’s have six runners. The best might be their horse in the 7.45pm, Holly Flight.
Good Afternoon All,
As the World cup is almost upon us. I have backed the following . Argentina e/w 10/1-Croatia e/w 33/1- Portugal e/w 25/1- Mexico 100/1 e/w – Russia 66/1e/w. A bit of interest during the tournament also fun and hopefully a bit of luck. Best of Luck. John.
Sorry hayd 2.10… Flintrock
Haydock 3.10. Flintrock.
Anyone elsr likes the look of this one. 4/1.?
MR T,
The lucky 15s did not come off . Got 3 winners 2seconds from 8 horses .Anyone who follows the Skelton boys get a run for your money the are the future champions I believe . Dan was assistant to the master Paul Nicholls there father won the Olympic gold medal so what they don’t know about jumping horses is not worth knowing . You were right about Henderson he had a winner and I had the 2nd in that race. Good to see people are putting there tips up on this page again and points of view. Good Luck. John.
The skelton boys could have a field day Tuesday at Southwell . There horses in good form 7 horses entered. Get Ready Freddie. money for him opened at 7/2 guess he will be shorter post time. Good luck. John.
6.20 windsor
mostly debut runners here
london rock looks overpriced for hannon, won the race last year. rock solid pedigree. dam won over 5f as a 2yo. related to multiple winners and hannon has the best record with first time out runners. anyway it’s 18/1 so you can back it ew
the other one i like is private rocket , i’ve backed him to win as should be ready on debut and trainer likes winners here.
summary –
private rocket 4/1
london rock 18/1
Does anyone share any info on here. Or is it just for comp?. Cheers Paul.
its not updated my winning nap from yesterday where i picked denmead
cant believe queen of bemuda went off odds against. happy happy
Hi Colin,
Good to see your horse is entered 17th Fathers day in a maiden as you say it could be a hot race. if the race is 3yr olds also 4yr olds the 3yrolds have the weight advantage usually 7lb pull but haven’t seen the race card yet. I expect you will have a pepsi as they are the sponsors or maybe something stronger if your horse wins. Best of Luck. John.
Hi John and Paul next run in a maiden at Doncaster on Sunday 17th. Paddy Aspel doing the steering. Don’t know opposition but bound to be a bit smart at Donny. Haggis won race last year. Paul, your mates have another horse. It was with Barons. He sent about 4 to sales and advised John not to bother with3 of them but the one he got Barons wasn’t keen to get rid of it but owner had 16 with him and some had to go. Bought cheap but rated in 50s so hopefully they’ll have some fun with it.
Just a quick note on the 2.00 at Epsom today in a couple of hours
Hannon and Johnston have dominated this race in recent years
both of the horses that they run have shown a decent level of form and they actually ran against each other in a rae i think looks very decent form wise with the winner looking very useful
it does look between these two and you can get 3/1 and 6/1 the pair
good luck
Marie’s Diamond
It’s the only way
i suppose the other question is will the conditions stay soft until saturday.
doesn’t look like there will be any rain in epsom.
i’d only back hazapour on soft conditions, if it went heavy i think he should be half the current odds of 9/1.
But guys what I will say is Hazapour is highly likely to be suited by these soft conditions
Do you remember when harzand won in 2016?
in the same owner silks as what he will wear on saturday?
conditions have gone his way.
so he may be my selection, actually he will be, i just think maybe you can back two or three here and be quite confident of getting paid.
unlucky john king with nelson.
that is ante-post betting,
but i like your angle in taking on saxon warrior.
im not saying saxon can’t win but stall 1 draw and the ground are two things that are negatives and when you factor in the price too i think he can be taken on
not sure which horse to take him on with
they paid tipping comp prize today at 10am by paypal.
great site
stall 1 over 1m 4f at epsom , no winner since 2000
0-104
terrible stall for saxon warrior
take it on all day at that price
also ground gone against it
also i won the tipping comp.
i think saxon warrior will get beat you heard it here first.
Good Afternoon,
They say worse things happen at sea if Nelson was here he would tell you that. Last night some firms went 40//1 to33/1=40/1 to 25/1 on Nelson withdrawn this afternoon. I only have small wagers at big prices as you get value anyway the bookie has a drink on me this time. And back to the drawing board for me. The Favourite looks the one to beat but has a tricky draw. Good Luck. John.
Good Afternoon Colin
Matt Mc Cormack would send some of his flat horses up north to Beverly for softer races. Owners with a view to sending there horses to stud after racing would be glad to get a win no matter how small the race under there belt for the horses CV for stud fees. In years gone bye I bought a share in a untried 2yr old for my niece trained by Jamie Osborne it won first time out ridden by Graham Gibbons at 10/1my sister in law was the only one of us that backed. Morse was his name and he went on to win more races a bit of luck and fun. Matt Mc Cormack if he had a galloping horse burst out of the stalls get a good lead 10 lengths sometimes then give them a breather then kick again it worked with his horse Horage who won a Big race royal Ascot.Then there is the horse with a turn of foot who can finish of that’s the horse everyone wants on the flat. Anyone who puts money into racing and have a win they are not winning out of turn . When your horse finished 4th it looked like the next race was going to be the winners enclosure could have been a off day and we all have them. Best of luck for the future . John.
Morning John, as I said before i’ve just put a line through that effort as it wasn’t a race. I knew before the race nobody wanted to make the running but John told Colm not to make it and just stand there if he had to ..and drop in about 3rd or 4th. When the tape went up nobody went and when they did it was a dawdle and a sprint finiish which was no good to us. Colm rode it as he was told but with hindsight we should have had a plan B and kick on but we didn’t. Trainer admitted we had ballsed up but when all is said and done that was a warm race and not disgracd being beaten by them. There were 5 southern yards travelled up north for £2000. Why dont they stay down their own end.Going on flat in future. Paddy Aspel is coming in the next day or so to give it a workout and we’ll take it from there.
Good Evening,
This time last year I tipped Wings Of Eagles at 25/1 and backed it(finished 40/1) posted it on this page. Avast ye he put the eyeglass to his blind eye and said I see no ships only hardships. I am on e/w at 40/1 (William Hill) Yes you guessed Nelson the derby. Last Autumn he run the 2nd Derby favourite to a neck Roaring Lion. He could be open to improvement also finishes fast. The boys from across the water don’t come for the day out and Obrien has some useful sorts entered in the Derby. The Best of Luck. John.
Dear Colin,
It is good of you to keep us informed about your horse. Al lot of owners keep all there information under there hat as they pay out thousands in training fees etc. I guess you went to the races according to one of your e-mails. I am surprised the jockey did not brief you and the trainer after the race to verify what happened if it was the ground/distance /course/ etc. That is normal procedure .You said in your next e-mail you had not spoken to the trainer yet. It would be good to know the verdict. Good Luck. John.
Just put a line through it. Nobody wanted to make running so waste of time. Hot bumper for track with 5 southern stables represented. Haven’t spoken to trainer this morning but I think it will be on the flat in future.
Dear Colin ,
A muddling race your horse in the lead early again. The rusty Fox gamble of the race never really got into it. Palixandre driven 1 furlong out he definitely needed the run a winner waiting to happen in the future. You finished 6th of 7 could have been worse the last horse was tailed off. I guess it is back to the drawing board for Muftakker. Anyway best of luck in the future races. John.
paul, bit late but if you fancy going you’re welcome. Getting on m1 at Barnsley about 3-45.
Morning everybody and John,Paul and Sandra[if she’s still alive] in particular.Summer bumpers are supposedly easy to win but we seem to be dropping on some warm ones. I can only tell you about Muftakker and he is raring to go and he will be trying for his life and at 25/1 he is great value. All Henderson horses wont be crackerjacks and they’ve all got four legs. If ours was trained by Henderson he wouldn’t be 25s.Pity there are only 7 runners which I don’t like for each way. We wont be making the running as unfortunately happened last time. Hoping to drop in about 3rd and see how it pans out. Trouble is they’ll all want to be 3rd or 4th.Any way if anybody backs it,I hope it wins for you, but you will definitely be on a trier which is all you can ask for.
Dear Colin,
Don’t know what chance your horse has tomorrow. What I do know is Rusty Fox has been backed 33/1 to 10/1. The 4year olds have a slight weight advantage which brings in the Henderson horse palixandre if he is fully wound up he might take some pegging back. The best of Luck with your horse . John.
Best of luck tomorrow coin
Hi CH Any chance tomorrow pity only 7 runners best of luck anyway
Dear Colin,
In the lead two furlongs out you must have thought it was in the bag. Unlucky for e/w money finished 4th but you pick up a few shillings in prize money. Wont be long before he is winning on the back of that run. Wont be 66/1 again. The Skelton boys touched of the Even money favourite I guess they will be doing the Hokey-Pokey after the win with Tokay-Dokey. HA-HA. Good Luck. John.
Dear Colin,
Weather /ground conditions great . There been money for Tokay Dokey the Skelton boys horse not sure if it is Stable money. If your horse can improve on his last run you could be in the shake up. Big price 40/1. Best of Luck. John.
Not many correspondents these days but as promised heres my report on Muftakker. He’s going great guns at home and although there is more improvement to come I am sure he wil run a good race tomorrow.Don’t know anything about the oposition but anybody backing mine tomorrow is guaranteed a trier.I have put 20pound each way on for a couple of my friends at 33s as nobody was going any bigger. I have just looked now and bet365 have had the audacity to put him up at 40s so i’ve put 50 quid on the nose. Win or lose you wont get 33/1 any horse with as good a chance as mine.
Fancying Some kinda Lama but going to wait for Roy Rocket.
Anyone interested in Muftakker when he runs at Market Rasen next Friday should tune in Friday morning and I’ll tell you all I know. 31 entries but obviously they wont all declare. Maximum that can run is 15. If16 or 17 declare they will ballot 1 or 2. If 18 or more declare they will divide it in two.Ideally i’d like 18 to declare making two races with 9 in each.
Hi Colin,
No luck yesterday with the Nicholls horses. Gone are the days when Ruby Walsh would come from Ireland to ride his horses and what a formidable team they were winners galore. I guess all good things come to a end. Only had 2 winners 2 lucky 15s yesterday struggling at the moment. It looks we are the only two writing on this page. Are you sure your horse is racing 11th May at Market Rasen as there is no entries anywhere for him to race?
Hi Colin,
I thought your horse would be out after a week from his first run to bring him on. I guess your trainer knows what he is doing. Beautiful weather here like summer a bit hot for the London Marathon 26 miles. P. Nicholls has seven runners out Wincanton (his favourite track) . I have done two l.15 seven Nicholls horses and one my nap total 8. treble the odds one winner best odds Wincanton (Betfred). Best of Luck. John.
Next time out looks like Market Rasen on May 11th.
Hi Colin,
I think your horse finished 9th and was not beaten far only 5 lengths. I knew a trainer years ago Eddie Reavey (ex jump jockey) he would say if you got a juvenile that can finish in the first 6 they will win a race and he was right after a couple of runs to sharpen them up. Eddie died in the eighties. god rest him a nice man a character also I knew his wife Jocelyn who took over the licence and not far from them the trainer Matt Mc Cormack who I knew his best horse was Horage a grey who won at Royal Ascot. Been a racing man Colin you might remember them. Best of luck. John.
Hi Colin,
As you said in your previous e-mail your horse don’t like soft going. The going at Newcastle was heavy also you said your horse was short a couple of gallops. On that evidence anyone could not back it. I guess your trainer will tell you need good ground or maybe a different distance. Anyway good luck. John.
Hi Colin,
Like to take the opportunity in wishing you good luck for tomorrow also your kind offer for a badge for the meeting. If the race track was near to me I would have come. I am 25 from London going south so a long way from Newcastle. Hope your horse runs well. John.
All I can say about Muftakker is that I am pleased with him. He has a very relaxed attitude, has missed a couple of gallops this week due to the lousy weather and he will be trying his best in what looks to be a weak race on paper. The top one won by a neck with the third horse about 15 lengths back. How strong the race was, I dont know. Anybody who might fancy going I have a couple of spare tickets. If you are interested leave a note on here and I’ll get back with some arrangements.If anyone is at the course ,come up to me and make yourself known. I’m only an ordinary working class lad.
Hi Colin
Got my internet up and running today and it is a big improvement. I guess there is a captivated audience over the last six months in anticipation when the big day will come for your racehorse Muftakker to make his racecourse appearance. Which you say is Sunday at Newcastle?. There is no racecard for Newcastle Sunday at present on the racing post site?. Anyway best of luck if he runs Sunday. John.
To John,Graham and Paul and everybody else who has shown an interest in Muftakker, I have news.They have put an extra meeting on at Newcastle on Sunday so we are entering. Fingers crossed for a good run.
Hi Colin,
Your horse Muftakker is not even entered lay alone been declared for next weeks meetings Southall/Market Rasen. Looks like he wont be running next week. The weather here sunshine bit of a cold breeze but looks like good weather on the way. John.
Atrocious conditions irish national only 8 finished out of 30.Here is looking at you kid fell (Paparrazi Kid) so who knows what would have happened at the winning post end of the race.I will have no computer for use in the next two weeks as I am getting a new broadband provider as they one I have is very slow it is like watching paint dry. Good Luck. John.
Hi Colin,
In the old days it was Aristocrats who would buy horses win or lose for a day out Royal Ascot as it would be one of there yearly events then Cannes festival etc-etc . I think whatever competition anyone enters they want to win ( my opinion only). In this day and age horses are a expensive hobby and most owners are expecting a return millionaire owners Arabs it is a business for breeding or win the Derby/group 1 races to get there name on the board. I back horses every Saturday with the hope I win it is a nice hobby also watch it on television with a couple of pints. Hope your horse wins people who put money into racing deserve a bit of luck. John.
John King. Hi John. the horse is ready to run but he’s not keen on soft going and it keeps raining in this area. Fed up with it. I have waited so long so I may as well wait a bit longer. The Wetherby day was 6th not 4th but rang the course the other day and was told it couldn’t be better than soft by Friday with the course as it was and more rain expected.Peed it down all Friday night. The plan has now moved to Southwell next Tuesday or Market Rasen on Wednesday. Southwell favourite.Also you don’t buy horses for profit, you get them for pleasure and hope they win. If Muftakker wins I’ll be happy.I’m only a working clas guy whose worked hard for his brass. My kids don’t need it so I may as well do what I want with it. Cheers Colin.
Well done to whoever won March Tipster Nap competition, is there a link to find top 2, I know if you show up in yellow you made the top 10.
I would like to take to say to everyone happy Easter . Who is looking at you kid?. I am E/W The Paparrazi Kid 40/1 (corals) Fairyhouse irish national 5-00pm Monday. Might go well off a feather weight 10 stone ilb . The best of luck. John.
Hi Colin,
When is your horse running?. You did say Wetherby 4th April there is no meeting at Wetherby on that day . If your trainer is charging £10,000 a year your horse must have eaten about £5,000 in grub/training fees etc with out putting a foot on the race tack. When he does run you will need to put down a good few shillings to re-coup costs. Good luck (You will need it). John.
Hi all nice to see comments on top of page.
I am 75 years old started betting with bookie’s runner taking bets on street corner.nice to read the comments on here Best of luck with your horse in the coming weeks colin holder ..Peter
Dear Colin ,
Bad luck We have a dream a non runner triumph hurdle as he looked a good thing I got 33/1 also you knowwhatimeanharry bit the dust today I think he is over the top. But no regrets won a good few shillings when he was winning. Back to the drawing board. Good Luck. John.
Hope this is better, [Comment box at top]
Morning all, especially all of you who have an interest in my Muftakker. I can’t blame you if you think i’ve dreamt it all as I keep changing my mind ,but the trouble is, it’s the weather that keeps changing things. Due to run at Wetherby next Tuesday, so got on to Wetherby this morning for an update on going and today it’s heavy with water- logged in places. As he doesn’t want it soft,not running. Plan now is for Wetherby on 4th April by which time the going will hopefully be better.
My best tip today is Western Morning 4-30. Wont be posting it as lucky pin is already needed in lottery competition.
Morning all at last I have found the comments box
Why can’t this be placed at the top of the page ?
I am 75 years young been interested in horse racing since about 14 years old with the street corner bookie’s runner taking our bets..
I have entered the tipping competition for the last two months and see a lot of pin sticker selection winning last month winning give no more selections after tipping a 33/1 winner .. would a better way be a selection every day instead of the 15 selections a month ? Got that off my chest now best of luck Colin holder with your horse in the future
To John King. John, this weather has just messed things up for Muftakker. He couldn’t train for a week so consequently not entered.I will only enter when I expect to run as it costs about 60 quid with entry plus admin fees. the plan now is to run in a bumper at Wetherby two weeks today, then a race at Redcar on 16th April.I would be hoping he can run well at Wetherby as he has good flat breeding but you never know until they get on the course. They dont get knocked about at home and John doesn’t have owt to test it. I couldn’t advise anybody to back it first time up, but I’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t win a couple of races. If any bookie opens up at 100s the day before I would risk 100 quid on it and hope it’s as good as I’m hoping.
My Nap of the Day, Warrior Valley (7/2) just won the 1st race at Southwell, 4th March ’18, but my League position is still only showing 1 winner, this is not the first time this has happened I’ve been complaining in the Past about this, but nothing gets done about it. When will you LISTEN??
Are we still on same rules for March.
Change of plan already. Not running next Wednesday as it is an evening meeting and I have other plans on wednesday evenings. Probably would have been ideal race as it is for 4yr olds and upwards so there wouldn’t have been any fancy 3yr olds in it.There’s a race following Thursday,see what that brings.
Johann,
I think some of us are aware that you cannot have two separate 14/1 winners and have two separate prices declared, as does happen with BSP prices, this makes it an unfair competition.
Could I make a suggestion that as you download the results from Betfair, you manually change the winning ones to SP, as you have to do this when Betfair make a cock-up anyway.
Morning again. If we are persevering with betfair prices, the best solution I can come up with is leave the competition as it is, but restrict prices to 8 to 1 and then the prices would be similar to SP and we wouldn’t get the wild variations that betfair prices throw up. Tips would be genuine fancies and not stick in the pin hopefuls. What about making it weekly with £30 and £10 prizes. If you get behind, another competition would start next week, instead of waiting until next month.
A possible solution for the problem Colin addressed:
The winner of the competition gets 60. The second gets 40.
The winner in the “champions league” gets 50 plus a “black belt” around the name in the league table.
The “champions league” is a group of tipsters who post good naps in the long run – not just a few winners with high odds. That could be an idea to address the problem.
How do you feel about this suggestion?
Morning everybody. I must say that this tipping competition is one big joke and I would be the last person to sponsor something that is a just a lottery And usually won by a person with a lucky pin. Honest it’s not sour grapes. but the current leader has sent in 15 tips of which 6 were above 30, 3 were in the 20s, 4 were in the teens with 1 at 9 and 1 at 4. 2 of them won at fancy prices. I think I know a bit about horse racing so come on, is this good tipping or someone dropping lucky.Even the person in 7th place is in a good position but has 7 tips above 30, 2 in 20s,3 in teens, 1at9 and 1at7.I have now to look for some outsiders to tip. I won’t back them but posting them will be the only way to catch this lucky leader.the winner can always say they’ve won the lottery.
All day i’ve been going to post Outlaw Torn but gone forGeorgian Bay.
I picked my Nap of the Day, but when I went back into the Website Later, the Site says I have not picked a Nap for Today?? WTF? Why is it saying this, what is going on?? Not bloody happy with this Competition anymore, and No-one answers your Complaints when you post them. How bloody Ignorant is that?
Biffoscot
Nearly a week now since I made my first comment, and I see it is STILL waiting Admin approval, which is a bit of a Pain. this Johann must either be a very busy person, or a lazy one. Anyway It is really annoying that she hasn’t taken the time to reply to my requests, and I think if she or Admin haven’t resolved this issue by End of this Month, then this Comp is getting kicked into next week.
Hi Johanna, what have i done to upset you? After complaining that my Name was missing from the League table, I eventually found it, but it only had me as tipping 1 horse, (which won btw on Thurs 1st Feb) my result appeared as 100%, but my Saturday winner was missing, so I complained it won @11/2 but was missing from my results. Then when I check Today, My league result is showing me as Having 2 LOSERS?? Why? What is going on???
Why is my league position showing me as only having had 1 Nap winner, when I know i have had 2 NAP winners? 1 on 1st Feb, 2nd winner on 3rd Feb, Topofthegame @11/2? If you are having trouble keeping this Up to Date, why don’t you ask for a Volunteer to Help, who could keep this up to date and accurate?
When is the Naps results page updated? As I am showing as having only had 1 Nap this Month, when I know I have had 2, both winners, and that the winner that is Showing, is the Wrong odds anyway, today’s winning Nap is not showing. why?
tempted to post Kilfenora but too many runners so i’ll wait.
Congratulations to January winners,whoever they are, and if anyone wants a comment just click on “leave a reply” and fire away.
I download the odds from Betfair. For this reason the odds do not match exactly the SP odds we see in RacingPost. Here is a list of a few winners with their odds from RacingPost and from Betfair. You see in general the Betfair odds are slightly higher.
Jan 1 Kellys Dino – RacingPost 8/1 – I downloaded from Betfair 12.49
Jan 15 Baby Ticker – RacingPost 6/1 – Betfair 8
Jan 23 Sir Geoffrey RP 25/1 – BF 31.13
Jan 3 SunshineAndBubbles – RP 8/1 – BF 13
Jan 5 Serenity Now – RP 7/2 – BF 5.02
Jan 10 Pattie – RP 5/1 – BF 7.52
Jan 15 Krystallite RP 8/1 – BF 10.43
Jan 17 Sky Marshal – RP 7/2 – BF 4.6
Jan 23 Fooload – RP 9/2 – BF 5.69
The mechanism how we download the odds does not give advantage to a specific participant. One month you might have a slight disadvantage. Another other month you get a few points in plus.
Compare it with the situation in real betting: you send your bet to a certain bookmaker. Later, with hindsight, you know: you would have got better odds if you had sent your bet a few hours later to another bookmaker. Sometimes it is to your advantage – other times you had just a bit of bad luck.
Johann,
Look at harrygee61’s winners. 31.62???
Regarding January competition, I have been telling the authorities for over 2 weeks that Bob, Sketchers and Superali have all been credited with over 30
points too many this month. Ziltiod should be the leader with Wingy in 2nd place.
Still plenty of time for others to catch up.
Hi
I’m new to BetInfo24 and Betfair SP.
I don’t understand how Livelovelaugh (Cork 2018/01/06 14:30) won at odds of 4/7 fav but returned 33 points in the NAPs competition.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Jenky13
Hi johnfrombuc
sat cork 2:30 6. LIVELOVELAUGH (IRE) need to check price
I’ve noticed that the races and the results are not getting updated. We might have again a problem with the data provider. It might take a few days until the problem is resolved.
Sorry
Johann
Received prize many thank’s.
Good luck to all in 2018 :).
morning everybody. Congratulations to the two winners for December and best of luck to all for January. I’m not a computer expert but I notice if I press the pg dn button in the top right hand corner it takes me to the bottom [comment page]quickly. Happy New Year Sandra, John and everybody else who comments to me or about me.
Happy New Year everybody. If you want to make a comment ,believe it or not, the box is at the bottom of the page. Unless anybody Knows a quick way of getting to the bottom, I wont be going again. Looking for a 20/1 shot today to sneak December
Messed up the joke the last line should be a mirror lack of concentration on my behalf . Good Luck. John.
Good Evening,
Thistlecrack is the highest rated in the race and maybe a hard nut to crack but I am on our old hero as usual Youhnowwhatimeanharry at 7/4 with William Hill to bring the bacon back for Christmas. The long distance hurdle Friday Newbury at 3-00pm. a joke for colin.Ahusband sent his wife out to get some chops she went into the butchers shop and said you have a pigs head in the window he says that is a pigs head. Good Luck. John.
To Colin,
This guy Superali is pretty hot with the naps this month. I guess it could be worse it could be Clark Kent on your tail (superman). not much luck myself this month. Two fellows talking one says I hear there is a new topless ventriloquist in the club and no man has ever seen her lips move. A fellow was so ugly he could not get a girl so he thought I will join the monastery anyway he meets the abbot the abbot says to him you will be working in the gardens he also says there is not much in the way of entertainment my son but there is a barrel in the cellar with a hole in it to relieve your tensions of the outside world and you can use it six days a week he says to the abbot what happens Sunday the abbot replies it is your turn in the barrel. Ive heard roll out the barrel. John.
John, no winner today so no joke.
To Colin,
Pat& Murphy reading a sign outside the Forestry sawmills tree fellers wanted apply with in. Murphy says to Pat said if only sean had been with us we would have got the job. Murphy I would like some nails requested of the travelling tinker?. How long would you like them asked the man.? For ever if that is all right with you said Murphy. Pat goes to the dentist. That’s my lot says Pat leaving the dentists ive just had all my teeth out never again. Conversation at Immigration Dublin airport (officer) your name sir Bakshish Abdul> sex > three times a day (officer)>I mean male or female >man doesent matter.A wife to her husband. Honey what ate you doing?. I am reading our marriage certificate what for>? . Im looking for the expiry date.Keep smiling. John.
John, your jokes are getting a bit better ,but not much. I dont know any clean ones really. A man with one testicle got married and after 6 months she died. Not to be put off by it he married onother woman and after 6 months he died.The moral of this story is, you cant kill two birds with one stone. I’ll tell you another when I post a winner. Hope it’s tomorrow.
Colin,
Your leader of the table almost weighed in Christmas presents in santas sack for the festive season. A fellow goes in the newsagents .There is a beautiful buxom blonde behind the counter he says to her a lottery ticket please she replies there is a roll over next week luv he replies that better then winning a tenner. A man goes to the doctors he says doctor I need some sleeping tablets for my wife the doctor replies cant she sleep the man replies she has just woken up . John.
Hi Superali, whoever you are, I must congratulate you on your tipping this month. I have always said you can’t win this competition tipping favourites. Every winner in the past has come up with a couple of outsiders and I don’t expect that to change. It’s getting towards the end of the month now so the regulars will be going for outsiders and believe me some will win. Anyway you have done very well, better than me in fact, but my 18/1 winner that paid 28/1 was worth most of your winners put together. Best of luck to end of month.
Colin.
Husband says to wife there is a terrible draught with the old windows/doors. The wife replies okay I will phone the double glazing company.Anway they came and fitted doors etc.Anyway after a year the husband got the bill he says to the wife I thought you paid the bill?. No she replies the fellow fitting the doors/windows said they would pay for themselves after a year. The husband replies I had a draught now I have a overdraught. John.
John, Girl goes home and tells her dad she’s been graped. He said, don’t you mean raped. She said no, there was a bunch of them.
To Colin,
Your in contention to win the competition for the Christmas presents. A women goes in the garda station she says to the officer I have been raped the officer asks any details about the man she replies he was 5foot-8inches tall ginger hair wearing a cap anything else about him the garda asks she replies yes he works for the council the garda asks how do you know that. She replies he made me do all the work.( no offence to council workers). Christmas crackers. Good Luck. John.
John, just for you, A mans wife died and he stayed in for 6 months and not having anything to do with women. He finally got over his wife’s death and ventured out.Course he met this woman, had a drink and one thing led to another and they ended up in bed. after his performance she told him he was the world’s worst lover. A bit upset he said, how can you tell that in one minute. Trying to make excuses he told her he hadn’t seen a woman for 6 months.She said why, where have you been.He thought he would get his own back and jokingly said, I’ve been in the vd clinic and she said, what’s the food like because I’m going in tomorrow.
Posted a winner today and didn’t have a penny on it.Shows the stupidity of the competition. Betfair price 28/1
Good Day.
Yuoknowwhatimeanharry won Saturday giving weight to his two rivals 8lb and running at a shorter distance. Hope you got on at 8/1 for the stayers race Cheltenham March 018. His price in the betting shops is around 6/1 now . This horse never runs a bad race. A joke for Colin. An Irishman and a yank flying over Ireland. The yank says to the Irishman Gee what are them black spots down there the Irishman replies if they move there cattle or horses if they don’t they are council workers. a cracker. John.
To harrygee61
The monthly winner of the competition need to send their payment details to Jason. He is the person who handles “everything related to money”. I take care of the technical part. If you have sent your details already please resent them.
Good Evening, For good reason a lot of you will remember our money spinning hero. Youknowwhatimean. I was going to tip him for Saturday but due to 7 absentees there is three left in the race and a price of 4/7 wont buy many Christmas presents. I have backed him for the stayers hurdle Cheltenham018 with paddy Power at 8/1 no25/1 around this time sad to say.Hope he wins tomorrow youknowwhatimeanharry. Might slip him in a L-15 as sometimes there are funny results with 3 horse races. Best of Luck. John.
To johnfrombuc
Sent two emails a week apart with my details for paypal but nothing put into my
account.Can you check out whats gone wrong. Thanks Harry.
To Colin Holder,
The geldings breeding is impressive hope he lives up to it. He wont be ready for Christmas to get the Xmas presents. As a matter of interest what is his name?. So we can follow him in the future. I will put a tip tomorrow afternoon for Saturday for hopefully the Christmas gifts. Women says to friend I seen your frank going in the airport friend replies he was out of work for a while but seen a advert in the local paper saying there is a hundred jobs in Jeapody .John.
Doing ok John. Could be ready end of December but looks like January. His half brother on mothers side [most important side] finish 4th in last years St Ledger so half as good as that would do. Posted a winner today but not showing yet. Somebody always manages to find a 33/1 and then everybody has to start looking for bigger prices.
To Colin Holder,
When is your gelding the trusty steed making his debut?. Will you be giving us the nod and the wink before he races on the all weather?. So we can get the few shillings on for Christmas presents. Like I gave you all the tip at Christmas last year for Youknowwhatimeanharry who had two wins just before Christmas. First win 7/1 next time 6//4. Paid for Christmas 016. Good Luck. John.
To Colin Holder,
Well pleased what I got back £10 e/w at 33/1 £92-50p nearly the same as backing a 8/1 winner.I might invest some of it on the Beano annual. As I am running out of jokes .I expect you will invest in the Dandy. A husband says to the wife that young lad next door is going to high school soon the wife replies are they moving to America he replies no he is going to the school on the hill. After a few weeks dating a young couple are in bed the fellow lights up a fag and looks at the girl and asks do you smoke after intercourse ?. she replies I never look. That’s all for now folks. John.
Hard Luck John. At least you got your money back and showed a small profit.

Good Morning,
When irish eyes are smiling They got the rub of the green Melbourne Cup first 3 past the post. Max Dynamite ran a cracker to finish 3rd at 14/1 as he had been race rusty but had been working well leading up to the race. I have got a 33/1 place over 8 to one. Max name sake Dynamite dollars should go close at Southwell 1-20pm today. Well done if you were on at 33/1 a lot were. John.
To Johnfrombuc,
Yesterdays winner in the 1-20pm Kempton has not loaded on nap page. Thank You. John.
Hi I had a 16-1 winner today but it is not showing on league table
thank you Arjay31
Good Day.
Latest news from Flemington Thomas Hobson just made the cut 24 and there is 24 runners . The Hong Kong based Jockey Zac Purton rides Max Dynamite now 16/1 from 33/1 will go off shorter on the day. A rough tough race the Melbourne Cup The foreign horses need the rub of the green hope Max puts is a explosive display(Dynamite). Good Luck if you are on at 33/1 I am. John.
Hi Johann. The table is showing my winning nap from yesterday, play the ace.
Cheers Tim
Good Day,
Latest news from Flemington concerning the Melbourne Cup. Max Dynamite and Thomas Hobson worked well this morning. Max L400 in under 23 seconds needed a good blow out as he has been lightly raced….. Thomas Hobson is in danger of been balloted out as he is number 26 as there is 24 runners final cut4th. Max now 20/1 from 33/1 I guess he will shorten more near post time. I am on at 33/1 . The Hong Kong Jockey from Brazil Joao Moreira will be riding if Thomas Hobson is a non runner he is world class.Wrote this for the benefit of those interested in horse racing and those who have backed him. Good Luck. John.
I think sir dancealot was a winner in the 4.35 at Doncaster,you got me down as a no runner.i think.
John, I dont bother much when I’m away. You can’t bet serious without the Racing Post. The hotel we are stopping at provides a Daily Mail but I can’ bet with that. I think a Racing Post would cost about a tenner.I take my lap top and will post something blind that’s backed but I’ll need to be lucky. Posted a 28/1 yesterday that lead to last furlong and finished 2nd. 10 lengths to 3rd horse.Get a bit of info from Ireland at the weekend so just back them. Regular bookie 365 wont take bets from Spain.Cheers John.
To Colin,
There is internet cafes also internet in Hotels also English newspapers in Spain .You will have to take your laptop with you if you want the sporting life site. Where I go in Turkey there is no betting shops which don’t bother me as I enjoy the beach the weather the drink the food and a look at the women. English newspapers £2 each the sun etc.It is a nice break and rest.In the days of crossroads one of the locals seen Benny in town late at night he asked why are you so late in town Benny replied I went round to see miss Diana she took all her clothing off and said go to Town Benny and here I am. After that I could do with a rub down with the Sporting Life. Have a nice time in Spain. Adios Amigo. John.
Good Evening,
I was going to say elementary my dear chap but that joke sounds excrementry. The wife went into a public toilet years ago she said the lady in the next cubicle was reciting poetry. It went here I sit broken hearted spent a penny and only F—-D.The farmer says to his wife are you keeping chickens in the outside toilet as the smell is fowl she replied I did have a chicken curry last night. The jump season is kicking in nicely . p Nicholls in good form I have been backing him L15 last two weeks also A Obrien as he is going for the world championship most group 1 winners is equal at present worth watching him this weekend as he tries to win it. Finally a women says to her friend my husband got the D-C-M she replies that is the Distinguished –Conduct-Medal The women says not exactly he came back from the pub Friday and the foreman said Don’t Come Monday. That’s all for now folks. John.
I was driving down the road the other day and had to pull up at the traffic lights. A beautiful blonde came alongside in the inside lane. I thought she looked a proper lady about forty and looked real class.She looked at me and I looked at her and I remember thinking I wouldn’t mind some of that.Anyway she wound her window down so I wound mine down secretly hoping for her best chat-up line and she smiled again and said “have you farted as well”.What a let down and remember all that glitters is not gold.
Not as good as John’s.
Swopped it to Breath of Blighty so waste of time. Time running out for me as going to Spain on Wednesday and no access to Racing Post.
Posed Back by Midnight but changed it.
Hi Jason,
A few days back I asked you to send me the price money for Septembers contest and as of today I am still waiting for this. You said you would take care of this but nothing yet. I could do with the 100 pounds price mate. If you could please send the money I would apprecciate it. I think I won this fare and square and it is now almost the end of October.
Thanks
Jarold
As your tip GENTLEMEN ,you both come in LAST , Sandra
To Colin Holder,
A EGGstradinary joke. If the boys dropped there trousers it would have been EGGplicit but a kick below the belt is no yoke as your nuts EGGspand. The loser said as a EGGception I will have a poached EGG . In the nap table you have a EGG celent chance of winning.Do you get your tips from the daily EGGspress?. Good Luck. John.
couple of jokes from John’s joke book.An englishman and an irishman live next door to one another. Any irish person reading this it’s not racist.Suppose you tell jokes about us english so you’ll just swop the characters around
The englishman keeps some hens and one day one of them lays an egg on the irishman’s lawn. He asks the irishman for the egg only to be told it’s on his lawn so it’s his egg. The englishman claims it’s his because he owns the hens. After a heated argument the irishman says we’ll settle this the Irish way. What’s that says the englishman. Irishman says “you kick me between the legs [or words to that effect] then i’ll kick you between the legs and the first one to give in loses the egg”. The englishman kicks the irishman who falls to the floor writhing in agony.As he is getting up he’s saying” it’s my turn now” and the englishman says” I give in, you can have the egg.No room left I’ll tell the other next time I post a winner.
Good Day
I backed Max Dynamite for <Melborne Cup Flemington park November 7th at 33/1 e/w 4places quarter the odds(Betfred) . Unlucky not to win this race 015 flopped after that one year out. Came back recently and won small race at Killarney he could slightly be under the radar. A big price at double carpet.He is out in Australia ready for the big race. Colin has your comic arrived the wackey races. Penelope Pitstop-Peter Perfect-Dick Dasterley and mutley. I guess he does the greyhound tips as he is a dog. Good Luck. John.
To Johnfrombuc,
I am on annual holiday having a rest also re charging my batteries for the jump autumn season . Will be back in November with naps and corny jokes. A women retires from the shoe factory after 40years she said it was sole destroying. There making a film called Constipation there still waiting for it to come out. The wife phoned the doctor asking him has he anything for severe wind he replied get a kite. A man going to work on Sunday the wife says to him why are you wearing two wrist watches? he replies the foreman said it is double time Sunday. That is all for know folks. Keep Smiling. John.
Hi Jason,
I tried to contact you by email to claim my first price money for September but I have not yet received any reply or money for it. Can you please look into it?
Thanks
What happened, John King? No NAPs, no jokes in forum any more? Did a single losing month after a long series of profits discourage you so much? (I am joking, of course)
Why does it not show all runners in races
Hi guys, new to this and just put my nap in, was wandering though as only two meetings were showing so is this the norm or can i access all the meetings daily ? Thanks in advance
Finished 2nd in September competition. Emailed Paypal details on 2nd October and received £50 on the 3rd October. Thank you Jason. Superb. Love the compo.
Would have posted it if I hadn’t already posted but had a tenner on at 10/1. Covers the competition winnings.
Late tip Ballymudan. Already posted loser.
Regarding the winners of last months comp, I have not received any emails from you with your Paypal account details, please re-send
Jason
Short head second after leading all the way;
See The Sun could sneak in . Too late to post.
End of month so just getting the pin out.
Just changed my mind from Life Knowledge to I’m Super Too.
Good Morning,
Absolute beautiful day here in the south of England the sun beaming like a hot summers day. Unfortunate it is not the same at Ayr as the Saturday Gold cup meeting abandoned & my tip maybe a blessing in disguise .There is still plenty of meetings for Saturday to pick the winners and dare I say the losers. Good Luck. John.
OK, looks like all up and running again, well done Pete French & Donkey, couple of really decent winners today just to put the pressure on. I’m only about £20 or so down so watch yer backs. Only 9 days to go but I shall try my best. Steve
Good Evening,
Good to see the competition is working again. I have backed Doc Spartello this afternoon at a big price 50/1 e/w six places at a quarter the odds with (William Hill) .He is a distance winner on heavy ground > I guess Ayr will be soft to heavy on Saturday.Good Luck. John.
Finally some good news: The tipping competition is online again. I hope that everything is working well. Sorry for the delay.
I’m in the same boat i was 2nd but haven’t heard a thing
Jason,
Last month I won the contest for the tipster competition and I have still not received the price money. I sent you a couple of emails about this but I have no reply yet either. Could you please contact me and send me the money to the email address I gave you?
Thanks
Good Day,
I mentioned Strativarius at 10/1 ante-post for St Ledger July and backed him e/w he finished 3rd at 9/2 so made a small profit. Also had him Goodwood Cup at 12/1 e/w . Overall a profit. Well done to those that were on at big prices. Good Luck. John.

Its all gone bandy again.No horses or courses are available, was going to do
BOBBY BISCUIT 7-20 KEMP.Iwill look again later.
Who’s a dxxx- head. Posted Meadow Cross and changed it to Aurora’s Dream just at the off.On the plus side Had a fiver on Meadow Cross at 20s on the exchanged.so got to be a happy dxxx-head.
Meant to say Graham, Tranquil Tracy is well capable of winning but it wont settle and has nothing left at the finish,If it could settle, it would have a chance.
CH i used to live next door to Stanley Hinton had horses with Michael Blanshard well into his 90’s so plenty of time yet !!
i thought first thing needed was to get it to learn english after Monsieur Head mademoiselles have been lovingly grooming it, a good bucket full of john smiths should do the trick.
stay sound (both☺) and hope you have some winning racedays (both☺) all the best.
CH my guess ? if so is it another one for the jaffa Syndicate.
hope you have more luck than Flying Power&Tranquil Tracy have had this year will keep an eye out for it good luck fingers crossed.
BTW see FP entered for wolver this saturday .all the best

Sandra darling, you know this is not my favourite position, but if you promise to be gentle with me, I will close my eyes and think of England.
Going to Doncaster sales today. You can watch on the internet. I am interested in lot 33 which should be selling just after 11. 21 is my limit.
Johann,
My last NAP Impressive Day (IRE) @12.74BSP, please.
The root cause are some problems with our data provider. We are discussing with them and hope that the issues are resolved in a few days. I’ll let you know when everything is working as before.
For the time being I need to update most of the data manually. Usually I update the data around 6am-7am. After the update the selection of runners and the league standing should be correct. If you notice some wrong results please let me know: I’ll check it out and fix it.
The site is u s again ,have not Reg me for yesterdays first selection and it was a winner or put me on list of players , not loading up at all today !
Johann,
Either I am not reading it right or the problem still exists. I take the price from the ATR site and in the results I checked from yesterday, totalling four, they were all different to the table. I have always read the results from ATR so either they have a problem or this site has, in which case it needs correcting before the month progresses.
Johann,
When did you stop calculating winners to BSP?
Good Day,
For anyone interested in sport as a hobby I thought I would write about the ups and downs not only racing but football the team I follow Gosport got relegated last season disaster .My nephew who plays for them has been out with career threating injuries for two years operations on his legs .Now recovered and getting fit for Saturday 2nd Septembers FA cup round against Bridgwater at home. Need to win this one for a nice pay out from FA. Goooo-an the boys. Good Luck. John.
It might take me one or two days to fix the problem. Sorry.
Good Evening,
I guess the August Competition will be void as there is a break in the system. I hope not for those in contention at the top of the table anyway look forward to September to the St Ledger etc, The wife said I was throwing my weight around I said I am not in the highland games shot put etc. She sent me to the ironmongers to get a long weight yesterday morning I came back last night she said I meant a long weight not a long wait. Anyway I came back from the golf early this morning she said how come you are back early I replied I stood on the rake in the bunker it was the only two balls I hit all day. OUCH-OUCH- it would make ones eyes water. Keep Smiling. John.
Not been able to pick naps this weekend ,race meetings not loading up..
I am travelling in this weekend. I will try to solve the problems using my laptop/cell phone internet connection.
Johann
Im not getting any horses or meetings coming up to pick from
Sandra, where have you been for the last couple of months. From a daily correspondent to an unheard of I wondered where you were.Not a nice thought but I thought you must have kicked the bucket. I didn’t really but it’s nice to see you are still showing an interest. I can’t do anything these days. Keep backing a few winners but post losers.[mainly outsiders]. Might do better in September. Was buying a horse in August but the ones I fancied were a bit pricey. Trying again on September 6th. Godolphin sending a few. Fingers crossed. Keep posting, presume Peter is ok.
Colin dearest, now you bin an put the mockers on it all, you being so rude, yesterday one meeting , now none, Sandra
I noticed that yesterday aldoddy 99 it only gave the York card luckily I still managed a winner but league table not updating either
Why does it not show all runners in races I wanted to pick a serten horse but it ls not shown
Mr T Keep your nose out.{Only Joking]
Ovdrum,
At the risk of John telling me to keep my nose out but are you aware that your winner yesterday, Star of the East, appears to have been classed as a loser.
lol whatever mate.
Good Morning,
Apphia was disappointing again .The ground soft again .I had the few shillings on again .Hopefully get her next time if the ground and distance is suitable. The wife said this morning have I got a match. I said enlighten she replied you face and my A–E. Keep Smiling. John.
Barry,
You have no idea what I am talking about?. It is written in basic English. I have not disputed that you don’t follow the horses or written below that comment. I knew an oul lad who followed the horses for 20 years. He sais he had the best rhubarb in the area. He said it kept him as regular as clock work. HA-HA.
I have been following horses for 15 years so no idea what you are talking about
Good Day,
Apphia entered Newmarket 2,o5 she finished 4th last time .She would prefer good ground last time soft not ideal conditions but I have backed her today again and hope she is in the money. I am on e/w at 9/1. In the future I will not be putting up any more tip as I guess there is only a handful in the competition that follow the horses as a hobby .I guess they are not interested only pinstickers. When I tipped up the derby winner I mentioned if anybody had any tips for the derby but no reply what so ever. I doubt if you will miss my jokes. Good Luck. John.
I was wrong to doubt the site. They sent me payment today for july competition 100 paypal. Thanks and GL guys
nokia09,
If you work for Betinfo you would be automatically paid. I am just a contestant like many more in the competition. Early in the year I was second and was paid prompt . You must send your E-mail address also have Pay-Pal account for transaction. Joe Raggs has a lot of experience in this field last year concerning payment. Maybe contact him. Hope what I have written is of some help. Good Luck. John.
MR T,
As your user name is MR T I guessed you were a fan of the A- Team which is back on TV recently. The horse tack was meant to be a joke . Iwould not go as far to say it was a gutter comment depends on your sense of humour. I use my real name so I don’t get confused with anyone else. Sorry if it has offended you in any way. John.
John King apparently the last two prize winners did not get paid?
Not holding out much hope myself. sent 3 emails two days ago with no reply yet. was told I’d get a reply in 24 hours by twitter.
MR T,
Are you not taking part in the competition old chap if you are I think a eye-shield-blinkers-cheek pieces and a hood might help you concentrate on YOUR own naps. If not there is always the A-Team on weekdays on spike. Good Luck. John.
Congratulations to n0kia09 who had us all fighting for 2nd place well before the final furlong. Superb napping. Steve
Good Day,
I said to the wife are you on the fiddle she said of course not well I said get yourself down the bookies and back Stradiviarus 12/1 e/w also I backed him for the St Ledger 10/1 I recently displayed this information on this page and hope some of you took the hint and done you a good turn not a bad one. I guess he will be fav for the St Ledger hope you were on early. Good start to August. Good Luck. John.
has anyone got paid prize before ? i read that people were not getting paid prizes. I will see If I get paid and put my feedback here.
To Colin Holder,
As you say I am chucking my weight about also you are welcome to meet me anytime you want. I don’t suffer Walter Mitty stuff. I have written I believe to be true. You want to get your facts right. Have a look at your previous E-Mails. As far as MR T goes he is not competing in the competition I was wondering why he is interfering . MR T questioned my my points with Jason when I was in 2nd place £50 in the past and got me demoted to 4th place . Other players have not been paid due to the server operator not the players fault. all these problems seem to be ironed out now good for every player. I hope this puts you in the picture.Good Luck. John.
To John King, John, you are a person I would love to meet but you appear to be chucking[ a yorkshire term] your weight about. Mr T hasn’t done anything to you but you are slating him. I think he has a point. Regarding my posts being outsiders, I’ve been forced into it by the system. I don’t back them. Regarding the horse I was looking at, we rung the trainer and there is a £35,000 reserve on it so that just counts me out. I’m looking for a 8/1 today which might put me 2nd.
Nearly risked Hot Hannah but got chicken although I backed it. Best of luck for Goodwood.
Dear Mr T,
It amazes me that your making comments about points not fair etc. You don’t participate in the contest also you are not on the league table. How does it concern you that is what I would like to know?. The mind boggles. John.
Johann,
Just to emphasise my point as to why I feel so strongly about BSP & only getting 33 points for selecting winners over & above that price, along comes a result yesterday, the 4.30pm race at Pontefract, won by Kings Will Dream at 10/1. The price declared on BSP was 27. My point is that anybody who was lucky enough to select that horse would have received an extra 17 points. Had it won at say 40/1 you would only get 33 points. Is that fair, I think not.
Dear Johnfrombuc ,
As the competition is based on winner/runner up most points it gives everyone and anyone a fair crack of the whip. A more skill full way would be the contestant that naps the most winners without the points system. This would eliminate players moaning about players napping big price winners. The winner would be the most winning naps. What do you Think?. Good Luck. John.
Dear Colin Holder,
In any month your points would be good enough to be in a winning position. The guy at the top has gone well clear incredible scoring gone beyond recall. If I remember correctly you said in a previous E-mail Back a couple of 33/1 in a month would win it. If you look back in the archives most of your naps were big prices. Now I see you have changed your tune. Good Luck for Goodwood (don’t come back with a shire horse they wont catch any pigeons) HO-HO_HE-HE. John.
I must agree with Mr T
Instead of using the BSP we should use the SP
Joe Raggs
Dear Colin Holder, Dear John King,
I wonder if we should consider the winner of our Champions League one way or another?
You know the Champions League are the users with gold label. They submitted the most profitable tips in the last three month – not just guessed one or two winners at high odds.
Good evening,
I have had three 33/1 winners in the last three months one each month which I think is a feat in its self but have not won the competition surely it is a bit of luck and study to find horses under the radar. I have my pin tuned into radar like a metal detector it Bleeps when I run it across the racecard and it bleeps when it comes to a double carpet(33/1) shot. May the force be with you. Good Luck. John.
Morning everybody, I’ve come to the conlusion that this tipping competition is a complete farce. I would not be paying £150 a month out to people who just drop lucky.People start each month genuinely and them somebody’s lucky pin drops on a 33/1 winner causing everybody[me included] who wants to win to resort to outsiders as 3 and 4 to 1 winners are no good to you.I don’t know of a solution,maybe restrict winners to 10/1. Only a thought. I will carry on, but I’ve always said you can’t win this competition tipping fancied horses, you just have to tip outsiders which doesn’t involve much skill.Who will be lucky next month? Good punting everybody.Might be buying a horse at Doncaster on Tuesday 8th August.Keep you posted.
Why does it not show all runners in races l wanted to pick a setter horse but it was not there
Does anybody know why the results have not been updated for the last couple of days?
Johann
my last 3 naps do not appear to have been processed ?
Hi the last two days my horses have been classed as non runners but one of them have won and another lost please could you check it out for me
Hi, can anyone tell me what exactly is BSP and how do I do my own bets at these prices. I’m assuming Betfair but when I look at results on their site all I find is industry SP’s. Regards, Steve
Top of the Morning,
The wife said it would be good if you could fill in the winners after the races. ? I said there would be no bookies after a week it might work in competitions but it would be playing the Stradivarius . As a matter of fact Stradivarius is entered in the ST Ledger September. Might get a tune out of it best price 10/1 at present Go An My San. John.
Jonah, my horse Royal Brave ran yesterday but is showing as a non runners when it won.
Thank you for the fast response
If we do finish 1st or 2nd in this competition how do we claim the prizes?
thanks…
Good Afternoon,
I left the few shillings again with the bookie on Apphia. The ground changed to soft. Hopefully third time lucky for her there is a nice race waiting for her and she will win. Good Luck. John.
Good Day,
I backed Apphia the Ribbersdale Ascot last month at double carpet (33/1) she finished a creditable fifth in defeat she is entered at Newmarket 2-40 Saturday. The value has gone as she is a short price for the fillies race which reflects her chances. Hoping to get the few shillings back Saturday. Good Luck. The wife said I am reading a book on Kings/Queens she said did I know Lady Jane Grey was on the throne for nine days I replied she never had a chicken curry from our indian bruvs. HO-HO -HA-HA-HE-HE. Keep Smiling. John.
Hi Johann i came second in the June competition but havent received any info on 2nd prize
Cheers
Ovdrum
Good morning Johann
I dont appear to have been awarded my winning selection for yesterday 6th
it was Pastoral Player 8-50 Epsom
Thanks Joe
Can he fly in for the Derby double at the Curragh tomorrow . All the value gone wont be 40/1 again now 2/1 Favourite with Ryan Moore in the saddle on Wings Of Eagles to glide in. Go On My Son. Best of Luck. John.
I looked at the horse betting this morning and found Apphia had drifted to 66/1 and moe in places she finished in 5th place not hard driven one for the notebook in the future. Get my money back another day. Palmers horses seem short of a gallop hopefully hit form soon. The wife said the tour de France is a good race?. I replied the winner gets thousands of euros. She answered what are the rest of them doing in the race. I said you are a bike short of a race. HA-HA. Good Luck. John.
Anybody any tips for the five day ascot festival?. I have backed APPHIA in the Ribbersdale Thursday at 33/1 E/W this morning at (Betfred) . The wife said do I mind if she goes to Ascot with a old flame from the jet set I replied it sounds a posh outing I said why not. She said it is with the fire brigade. Laugh I nearly passed my fags around HA-HA. Best of luck for the week . Keep Smiling. John.
Dear colin holder,
We had a feature in place which rejected all naps in the last 2 mins before the scheduled off.
When I implemented this feature I had in mind that the clock on the server might be a few second too early or too late. Many times the race does not start exactly at the scheduled time (usually later).
It should not happen that a participant of our competition takes an unfair advantage that he or she can submit a nap when the race has actually already started.
So far I have not heard of issues with this feature.
For the moment I deactivated this feature. Lets see if it works better this way. If we hear sources that users managed to work around the restriction and could submit naps after the actual start of the race we might need to turn back to the two minutes buffer before the race.
Note, however, you cannot submit naps after the scheduled off – even if the race has not started yet. Don’t rely that you can submit a nap in the last minute before the off: The clock on the server might be slightly imprecise.
John King, Having a desperate time of it lately. Went to post Bell O f the Ball[ won at 8/1] 2 mins before the off but couldn’t post.[ Said the race had started but it hadn’t].You woundn’t believe how I keep missing with the posts. Today is a perfect example. Never mind I’ll look for something later and there’s always Ascot coming up. Cheers Colin.
The tip for June 23rd (commonwealth Cup) is a N/R The horse was Mrs Danvers Trained by Jonny Portman who trains in Berkshire next county to where I live (Surrey) Had a tip from that yard earlier this year Ickymasho which won at Chelmsford . I backed it and Napped it on the Competition it won at 6/1 Japanese name meaning in English Go-On-My-Son. Also earlier this year a tip Mrs Danvers Won she is a speedy Mare. Anything that comes up for Ascot I will display here. As far as the Competition goes I have not napped a winner since the Derby winner June 3rd gone into relax/sleep mode anyway that is my excuse. As I have a few shillings in the coffer. I see Colin Holder is back with all guns blazing. Go-On-My-Son. Good Luck. John.
To Johnfrombuc, Jeremy’s Girl paid 16 on betfair and only credited 13-32. Will you sort it please.Only 2nd winner since February and then I get short changed.Cheers Colin.
To Jason/johann
Many thanks for payment received it this afternoon
Greg
Any body got any tips for the up and coming Royal Ascot meeting. I have a tip for the 23rd of June but the full betting for the race is not fully displayed yet as soon as the full betting arrives and I get my bet on I will display it on this page. Anyway the wife said to me this morning did I know she was part of the Jet Set I replied you mean you mixed with Film Stars-Actors -Lords & Ladies ETC, Well not exactly she commented I worked at the petrol station in the car wash. I said Jet Set my A- – E. HA- HA. Keep Smiling. John.
Good morning johann
Do we have to still send our PayPal address to Jason or does he just do it now
He does already have mine as I’ve won on here previously
Many thanks
Greg
Aka Joe Raggs
really chuffed to win may competition as a pensioner the money will come in useful does anybody know how long it gets to pay out it does take a lot to beat john king he certainly likes is outsiders good luck to him thank you
On May 24th on this page I tipped up Wings of Eagles. I had heard it was a definite Derby runner with 139 entries. It opened 100/1 then 50/1 I got on at 25/1 £10 e/w .The vibes were not good this week as if his wings were clipped drifted to 40/1 anyway I am happy with what I got. The wife gone to the off licence for a bottle of champers. If you took the hint and was on well done. Cheers. John.
Picked my nap 1st of june air of york won 7/2 but not showing on naps table which happens every time I pick a winner
Dear John King,
Dear Joe Raggs,
At the top of the league table you find a calendar navigation: “From” and “To”. There you can specify an time range. If you specify May, 1 – May, 31 you see the results of May:
jack bentley 37.05
Joe Raggs 32.07
john king 27.22
The first day of the month we display all users in the league table. In the other days we display only users who submitted at least one winning or loosing nap this month. The reason is that there are many users who have not been active for a long time. Listing all these +/- 0 in the league table makes the screen difficult to use.
I expect that Joe Raggs will appear in the league table by tomorrow morning.
Good Morning Johnfrombuc
having looked this morning to see the leader board for the first days racing yesterday, my name seems to have disappeared from the board altogether
I did Marshall Aid in the 9-10 at Chelmsford last night but the race never took place as it was abandoned .
Also i agree with John about putting the winner and runner up on the discuss page as the league table is taken down around midnight on the last day and no one actually knows who won what.
Thanks Greg
AKA Joe Raggs
Dear Johnfrombuc,
In the past the competition results were displayed on the discuss page winner/runner up. Could this continue in the future so every one can see the Monthly results. Thank You. John.
Dear My lil pony
In the late evening of Feb, 28 you submitted a winning nap for Symbolic Star @ 29.1 – Newcastle 2017/03/01 18:30
The confusion came from the computation of the 3 month time horizon.
May, 31 minus 3 month leads us to February, 31 – which is impossible, of course. The server “repaired” this impossible date to March, 3. This is kind of default behavior on Internet servers. It is somehow plausible but not what we expected. According this computation of “3 month back” your winning nap had moved out of the time horizon.
Today I’ve changed this behavior and implemented a workaround. Dates like Feb 31 are changed to the last valid day of that month – in this case Feb, 28. This way your winning nap is still within the time horizon but will move out tonight
Well, the notation of “3 month back” is inherently slightly ambiguous and imprecise – due to the varying length of the month. Lets go on with the new formula and see if there will appear again issues. In this case we might change to a “hard” definition like “90 days back” – which avoids any ambiguity, but is less obvious to compute.
After all the precise meaning of “3 month back” is not so important as long as the formula remains unchanged and is applied in a fair way to all participants. One month you might have a bit of bad luck because your winning nap moved out of the time horizon just one night before. The other month it is exactly this formula which helps you a few percent.
Johann
Hi just looked at my points for the last 3 month section and yesterday I was in profit, today I’m -19+ points, could you check it out please. Ta
It is ten days away from the Epsom Derby. Anybody got any tips?. I have backed Wings of Eagles e/w at 25/1. He ran a bit green in the Derby trial that cliffs of Moher won finishing third he was running on well at the end .A big striding horse that I think will improve I hope. Good Luck. John.
Hi Johann, Sorry for wasting your time. I now know BSP is the Betfair price. I was looking at William Hill results. So you can forget my last post. Thanks.
Hi Johann,
My score should be +9 not +14
Was Naps 7 Wins 0 Losses 7
My Nap Street Art won at 16/1
Should now be Naps 8 Wins 1 Losses 7 and +9
I really Fancy Pearl Noir in the 6-15 at Thirsk
As I have previously mentioned Zubayr been beaten SHD 2nd . He is going Haydock 3-10 today . I have backed him this morning at 8/1 e/w got 4lb extra from last run to carry but hopefully he can go close. Best of Luck. John.
Dear Johnfrombuc
Napped Indian Rupee yesterday and it lost not registering on the nap table . Thank You. John.
Dear Johnfrombuc,
It must have been my error when I selected nap and not hit the confirm button to register nap that is all I can think off. Answer to your question concerning napping horses that have not won for a couple of years if there running with the same form then you have to check each ones form .Are they C&D winners is the ground right is it a good draw have the horses weight dropped to a winning mark fro there previous wins if you find one of the three with these stats also a market move then back the horse E/w. I partly use this system for this competition. I keep a few aces up my sleeve for backing with bookie for L 15 etc. The most unlucky loser was ZABAYR at Ayr a few weeks ago he had dropped 7lb in the handicap backed from 25/1 in the morning to 12/1BTN-SHD hit the last hurdle lost his action. That’s racing. Best of Luck. John.
Hi betinfo johnfrombuc many thanks for payment for runner up in last months comp , not had time to post on here CH off on holiday thanks to mr gosden good luck this month thanks again Paul.
Dear Johnfrombuc,
My points on the league table read two losers I think it should read three losers as Cool Music lost on the 2nd of May. The League Table looks nice and neat as the non playing contestants have been removed and it is easier to read. Good Luck. John.
The best way to find the best tipster is to pick one race [maybe two] and everybody only tips in that or those races. I can back myself against anybody but
I haven’t posted a winner since February as I keep posting fancy priced ones. Is there anybody who backs all their own postings. I don’t back a lot of mine.
Dear John King,
I completely agree with everything you said. I might not have expressed my point clear enough.
I started from the idea that the champions league should be a group of users who are submitting successful naps in the long run. Then I asked what could be a selection criterion for the champions league.
The performance in the last month is not a good candidate for the selection criterion because the time horizon is too short. One user can win the last month competition just by good luck. Another user who knows very well about horses can just have a weak month – as it happened to you in April.
So, I looked out for another suitable selection criteria. After some experimentation with various formulas I came to the conclusion, that the three month profit produces a reasonable result: The highlighted tipsters form a group of users who submit successful naps in the long run – thats where we wanted to arrive.
Dear Johnfrombuc,
I agree with what Colin Holder said in a earlier E-mail You cant win the competition on napping favourites or 2nd favourites as anyone can pick favourites he said you need a couple of big priced winners to put you in winning contention. And believe it or not there is a skill that goes into picking big prices. I follow horses that have slipped down the handicap that have previous won at the distance or horses that have not won for a couple of years. That’s where studying form comes into it not just a stab in the dark. Best of luck. John.
Selection Rule for the “Champions League”
For the moment we use a simple formula: I have sorted the league table according 3 month profits and took the top ten.
The idea is that the “champions league” should be a group of users who are submitting winning naps in the long run, not just guessing one or two runners at high odds – and, by chance, this time it won. In time we can think of a more complex selection rule for the champions league. For the time being the simple selection rule appears to match the criterion of “long run successful tipsters”.
**Update**
As you may have noticed, some players are highlighted in gold. This is a new feature we have added to show the top 10 players in terms of profit and contribution over the past 3 months. These are what we call our ‘Champions league’ players!
Hopefully this will give players a bit more incentive to take part and we will come up with some rewards for our best players. We will also continue to add new features to enhance the competition.
Hope everybody is enjoying it 🙂
HI,what does the hign lighting in yellow mean,thanks tony
Hi Colin,
It is not easy to get the big price winners. I hit the post yesterday Zubayr beaten a short head ayr 2-45pm. Planting my beans in the garden at the moment. Going to Turkey around September/October time. The wife said if you keep going to Turkey I will dance on your grave I replied I don’t mind I am getting buried at sea. HE-HE-HA-HA . I hope the winners come soon for you. Best of luck. John.
Has everybody gone on holiday. I haven’t posted a winner since February so i’ve nothing to shout about. Got to be better next month.
hi johann
I picked a winner last Friday april 7th balinaboola at 11-1 it shows on the league that I have picked a winner but my score hasn’t been updated its still -10 thanks

Johann,
If you look now, you will see what John is saying. It appears to be a little more than temporary.
Dear Johann,
All the horses at all the race meeting today have no prices beside there names reading zero. Don’t know if this will effect the naps?. John.
johnfrombuc
😭I see picking national winner doesn’t count in comp😀
Hi. My username ia ryangina3 i picked a 11~1 winner on friday and although it shows i had a winner it hasnt put the total on my score it shows as winning at 0 sp
Hi johann my username ryangina3 i napped a winner yesterday but it hasnt added onto my score. It says 7 naps 6 losers and 1 winner but still -7 score thanka johann
good morning Johnfrombuc
there appears to be a problem with the website at the moment
All sorts of data coming up on the screen and wont allow me to select a horse it was like it yesterday as well
many thanks
Joe
I have had a winner today but it’s not showing I picked ace of diamonds 4:30 @ lep
Johann
I napped san benideto on Sunday when I went back on to check after it won it said I hadn’t napped today when I had, not a big price winner or owt so fair enuff s@it happens. Today’s winning nap was halcyon days, I screen shotted it in case there’s a prob with my account, if there is could you check it out please. Cheers
Dear Jason,
I sent a e-mail with pay pal details yesterday. Today I received a e-mail saying £50 was in my account. Thanks for the prompt payment. Happy Easter. John.
Easter Crackers,
I said to the wife are you looking at the boat race today she replied I look at it every day in the Mirror.I then said to her don’t you ever sit down she replied I am your long standing wife. Her friend came around for coffee and said I believe you two met on the net I replied we were both failed trapeze artists. When I first met the wife we went into a pub she said I will get the drinks I said I will have a pint of bitter anyway she came back with the pint and a slice of bread. I said what is the bread for well she said I asked the barman for a pint of bitter and he said WHITBREAD and I said one slice please. HE-HE HA-HA. Happy Easter. John.
Do tipping table updates happen a certain amount of time after the race as i had the 8.15 winner but it’s not on table yet ,have messaged a couple of times before when similar happened and it eventually has been adjusted but i am still not sure whether they update automatically after a certain time,will not message if i get an idea of how long to give it before contacting,cheers.
Hi Colin,
I tipped Kings Tempest in the 2-20 w but came so near yet so far to winning it just a fraction would have won it 0.50 . Todays nap lost. Thanks for the tip anyway. I guess I came 2nd as it stands at the moment. Best of luck .John.
Hi John King, it look like yiur opponent is playing crafty and not tipping. You need a winner, any price above 1 to 2 should do so I can only suggest Cheval Blanche in the 6-15, but who am I to suggest anything when I haven’t tipped a winner all month.Cheers Colin.
Latest bit of racing news for anyone interested .Patracia Thompson who bought Party Politics two days before he won the National. She was looking for a horse with solid form that fits the bill for 017 National. She bought Le Mercurey I hope her luck strikes twice.I tipped up Le Mercurey in a previous e-mail on Febuary 21st when the weights were declared for National and backed him at 50/1 e/w . Hope the ground is good for the race. As a fact party politics won the 19 92 National. April 8th I will be shouting go -an-my-son. Will you?. Best of Luck . John.
JOHANN
just been looking threw my naps for the month and my points for ” symbolic star” have not been added to my league,was on the 1st of the month @ 29s
Dear Colin
Sky are now doing no run money back on the Grand National
FAO Johann -Are tonight’s evening results updated now as i selected one in the 7.50 race which has not been put on totals as yet.
Johann
In the Tipping Competition I thought I had selected Swing Hard in the 4.00 at Wetherby yesterday. Can you please check for me?
Thanks

Hi Colin,
Lucky codd did not go in the fish&chip shop after the foxhunters race he would have got battered. Ha-Ha. The guy leading in the competition seems well clear and will take some catching. There is now problems with the web page points etc and all working well which is good. You are due a winner soon so best of luck. John.
Hi Colin Holder,
You were right about on the fringe past the post in the foxhunters yesterday only problem he went past in 4th place at 11/8. I backed Pacha Du Polder at 20/1 with (betfred) Finished 16/1 also napped it in the competition. Lovely Jublee. John.
The bubble finally burst on youknowwhatimeanharry eight on the trot winner. He managed third yesterday beaten by two better horses on the day. It was the hottest race he had ever run in and run to his usual best. As I had him e/w at 20/1 made a small profit. Happy St Patricks to all who celebrate it also best of luck for the final day of the Festival. John.
Good luck today John
Lets hope Harry does better today than Carter Mackay did yesterday
Good luck with Harry today john King.
good luck with Harry John
i shall also be screaming for Carter MacKay in the last
Johann
Could you check my nap yesterday royals and rebels 4.40 plumpton registered as no change on table.
Cheers
When does league table get updated ,had a 3.50 selection which has not been added as yet -duck egg.
At last the festival day one starts tomorrow a tough meeting to pull a few winners out of the hat. The wife said she knew a ould lad that went greyhound racing he said he could pull a hair out of his A**E. What ever happens I will be shouting/singing C-MON C-MON URRY UP ARRY C-MON- C-MON – C-MON – URRY – UP -ARRY -C-MON- WERE- G-OIN DOWN THE PUB= WERE G-OIN- DOWN- THE- PUB . As Harry is coming up the Cheltenham Hill Thursday afternoon hopefully in front.The wife said she will have a drop of the Cratur win /lose/or draw I will have a pint of Guinness . Will you?. Best of Luck. John.
I think if no selection is made in naps then 1 point should be deducted as most of us try to do a nap every day.
Le Mercurey Did not go in the heavy ground Saturday also giving weight away to the two in front of him did not help . Hoping for good ground National. For the backers of Youknowwhatimeanharry for Cheltenham March 16th Noel Fehily will be riding him now 5/4 fav from 20/1 as I said earlier I am on at 20/1 cant wait for Cheltenham. John.
How can I see the NAP table .. what people selete as a NAP .. before the race . Is there any chance ?? Thx
Hoping for a big run from Le Mercurey at Kelso today 4-00pm to boost his chances in National . Backed him today. Ground not ideal but I guess it is the same for the rest of them. Best of Luck. John.
I posted a nap yesterday but it has not been included, how long before it is?
hello I came second in last months tipping comp anybody know how the cash prize is paid out or do I have to email bet info 24 thanks
Hi CH Comp got even hotter yesterday I’m in Carlton just outside Barnsley this month looks too hard to call Good Luck PH
Well done PH in grab a grand comp. I didn’t know you lived in Barnsley. I was born in Barnsley area [South Hiendley,nr Hemsworth]. Live in Wakefield now.All the best for Cheltenham. A few hot tippers in Feb competition. Looking for a big priced one today because Desert Strike will lead all the way tomorrow.
Dear Joe Raggs,
Wonderful Charm is a confirmed runner in the Foxhunter (festival) also Katie Walsh will ride him in the race. Don’t Know about National yet?. Good Luck. John.
Hi CH ,Greg ,JK. Don’t know if you have a go at at the races Grab A Grand comp (it’s free). Look who won last week only seen it this morning
Hi Joe Raggs,
Wonderful Charm is not a definite non runner in National I know he is a 100/1 in places. The same could apply in the Foxhunter. You will have to check the racecards leading up to the races. Best of Luck. John.
To Joe, where can you get non runner no bet in National.
Hi John King, On The Fringe is past the post in foxhunters. Joe did well to get 16s Carter Mckay for bumper. I’ve backed it both times it’s won but not backed it for Cheltenham. Got 9to 2 On The Fringe with PP a few weeks back.
To John King
Hi John yes i have got one horse already backed at a good price as well
Its Carter Mckay in the Champion Bumper on the Wednesday
I had him early at 16s and is now 7/2 Fav and to be honest i cannot see anything even getting close to him
Greg
To Paul, well done with Alejandro, but where the hell did you get it from. It’s been going to win for ages but kept getting beat. I back about 15 horse a day and may be 4 or 5 winners but you have to be lucky to post the right one for the competition.Anybody seen Sandra, I can’t get to sleep at night for thinking of her.
Dear Joe Raggs,
Have you picked the festival horses yet. I am a great fan of P Nichools top trainer. I noticed Le Mercurey has bypassed the festival for the National April 8th . The 66/1 disappeared yesterday morning I am on today at 50/1 with (corals) He is off a mark of 151 allocated 10-9lbs a good weight. Normally humping big weights. He beat Bristol de mai 7 lengths also second to Many Clouds . Serious form If he gets the distance with a clear round should be in the mix. Prep race Kempton Sat 25th if he goes well the 50/1 wont be around for long. Best off Luck. John.

HI Paul Hindmarsh / Chasmon24
Just wondered did you get paid out your winnings on the tiping competition
Regards Greg
Hi JK
don’t know if you ‘ve noticed but all scores are 1pt lower than shown in boxes presume stakes not included.all the best.
Dear Johann .
The points remain the same as yesterday. so not fixed .Martin napped the same horse as me he has same points 6-37 . In our name boxes it reads 7-37. I would appreciate you to have a look again. Thank You. John.
Dear Johann,
Runasimi River won yesterday .Could you just check the points are correct 6-37 it shows on nap table should it be 7-37?. Okay Thank You. John.
tango, had a 9/2 winner today MEHDI.
and it is not on the leader board,
plus can you tell me if tango was second in the tipster comp,
as my internet was not working last night,
thank you
tango
To Joe Raggs Well done you won again good tipping. You run them Ragged(pardon the pun) . If you keep up that form the rest will be scrambling for the crumbs. And the golden eagle wont need Epsom salts. Joking apart some fantastic racing coming March the festival. Looking forward to it. Good Luck. John
Johann, is it possible to show peoples tips bfore they run rather than have to wait until the next day. We used to be able to see them but things seem to have changed. Not for the better in my opinion.
Dear Paul Hindmarsh,
Did you back harry?. No one on the site said they backed it. I guess because he was a short price but a winner is a winner.Old saying back a horse on a winning streak until he loses. I am glad I have followed that proverb . eight on the trot incredible form. Next the festival March. Win lose or draw harry owes me nothing. he has put a good few shillings in my coffer. He is now 7/4 Fav for the stayers hurdle. Lucky I got 20/1 and happy with that. Youknowwhatimean.The nap site seems back to normal. Good Luck. John.
Johann
the last time that the competition was updated was the 25th the results since have not been amended
Joe Raggs
Hi Johann
I have a winner yesterday in the 4-10 Fontwell LETEMGO that has not been added on to my score
When the league table is amended if the horse is a winner the selection changes colour to blue. If its a loser it goes pink . If its not updated it stays neutral.
i hope this is helpfull
all the best
Joe Raggs
aka Greg
Johann,
Welcome to the forum. Just a point but is it always going to be that results are only updated every three or four days!
Well done to those that backed Harry. What a exciting race to watch. When Cole Harden made his efford Barry was looking for dangers between his legs on the run in and just pushed out to win it. Six weeks to the Festival cant wait as I am on at 20/1 world hurdle. Youknowwhatimean. Good Luck. John.
Jason asked me to take care of the correctness of the results in the competition. If you notice some issues just post them in this forum here. Then I’ll have a look at it and fix them
Johann
*********UPDATE***********
Guy’s. I have some good news! I have hired our developer (Johann) who built the comp, to keep tabs on this page and the tipping comp. So if there are any incorrect results, missing results or anything else a miss, just post it on here and Johann will fix it it 🙂
This means we can re-instate the prize money and hopefully make this a more enjoyable competition for yourselves and get more people involved!!
Jason
Hi Paul
I did tell Jason last month that you had won Octobers competition and the runner up
I also gave him a reminder of Novembers winner and runner up and in his e-mail to me he said and i quote ” i can only process peoples winnings if i have their Paypal e-mail address. If they e-mail me with their details i will happily process the winnings as i have always done. ”
He also said in a later e-mail that he had not received anybody else,s details. So i would send him your details again if i were you annd any other winners
I have e-mailed him myself this week about the league table that has not been updated since 19/01/17 ive got other winners to be added and im sure other players have too. This is how it all went bandy last time .
Regards Joe Raggs
Greg
Dear Paul Hindmarsh,
The saying in the last moments of the game by Ken Welstenhome 1966. The boys near the top of the table will be hoping the golden eagle excretes a couple of nuggets at the end of the month as it is the final payout before he gets constipation . Good Luck. John.
When are the updated league positions being published. Saturday 21/1/17 has still to be updated.
Hi Colin
Yes i am having a good start to the month but it is only the start and i should really have had another three winners as well
Jan Smutts at 12/1 Smooth Stepper 13/2 and another one that won at 6/1 but i cannot remember the name of
Today im going for
4-30 Wolv PERSUN @ 12/1
All the best
Joe Raggs
Morning Greg [alias Joe Raggs], with the tips you have been giving lately you ought to be working for the Racing Post.Any chance of you putting them up on this page before they run and then nobody would be bothered with the competition to win £100, they could just have £10 each day on your nap and win £200 a month. All the best for the future Colin.
Morning all, Got my money this morning for December, so hopefully everybody else got theirs and everyone is happy. Don’t know what the future holds, so just watch this space.
Dear Joe,
I Guess if he said he is paying out for the 4 months hopefully his word is his bond. It would be nice if you had a payment date for something to work too. I backed youknowwhatimeanharry twice before Christmas and collected twice had a nice Christmas. I have him backed for World hurdle £10 e/w at 20/1 price now 9/4 March 16th Cheltenham. One thing for sure if wins or gets placed I will be surely be paid out with Ladbrokes. Backed him in the Albert Bartlett last year won I was on at 25/1 with Paddy Power.I wrote all this in previous e-mails before the races were run and hope you were on .Good Luck. John.
There is a old saying the night is darkest before the dawn. For those in waiting for the golden eagle to excrete. Some will be hoping he has Diahorrea . HA-HA-HA-. John.
Has anyone been paid yet for winning October,November, or December competition, Because Jason said if we gave him our PAYPAL E-MAIL ADDRESS he would happily send them their winnings . As of yet i still have not received my winnings and was wondering if anyone else had received theirs .
Regards
Joe Raggs

Hi Jason, I have just posted a reply but it might be too far down to see, so I will say again that I think I was among the winners in December and if you want to pay me out I believe you have my pay pal details from previous months.Looking forward to new installation.
Dear Jason,
I think it is your duty to reply to the competitors as you are in charge of the competition also the buck stops at you. We all haven’t arrived on a banana boat. As for paying out thousands of pounds for no return don’t make sense to any business men. What about the bookie adverts that are dotted around the site. Do you put them up for free?. As you say you created this competition for our benefit only. I think you created it for your financial gain. hoping punters will sign on to on line bookies. What ever twist to it no body works for nothing that is running a business. My points of view. John.
Ok, I better reply before you all put me in front of the firing squad!!
Firstly I would Like to put a few things straight! I don’t know what some of you think I am doing here! accusing me of ‘false advertising’, Getting paid sponsorship from bookies’..
‘Jason has not put up the site for his own health’
Well actually I did. This Tipping comp has cost me thousands to set up and run and I am not getting anything out of it whatsoever!! (apart from a headache)
No paid sponsorships or rubbish like that.
As for paying out winnings! I have always paid out winnings since we started. As I have said before. If the winners email me after they have won with THEIR PAYPAL EMAIL ADDRESS I will happily send them their winnings!!
I really don’t have time to monitor this page everyday, especially when there are only 4 or 5 people using it.
We have recently had our second child too which means my time has been very limited and unfortunately spending time on this page has not been high on my priority’s
There is obviously a lot of bitterness on here and I guess the fact that money is involved is creating this unease.
I created this whole competition for your benefit only!!
I have no technical skills for amending results etc.. and I have to pay the developer to do this!
I feel because of this and all the unkind remarks from Joe, I will be removing the prize money for the time being. After January there will be no prize money on offer as this is getting out of hand.
As I have said before. If you want to email me your Paypal email I will pay out any winnings. Im not sure what you want me to do regarding the month where results were incorrect.
Im sorry its turned out this way and I now realise why other such ‘Free’ comps have closed down.
I will re-install the prize money one day when I have the time to work on the competition and grow it into better things!
Jason
Hi gang
Shame they clearly have given up on this comp so if you have not joined and like free to enter daily tipping competitions the here’s a few i play
Racecaller.comTippinggames.stanjames.comBetdaqtips.racecaller.comSportinglife.racecaller.comandTipsterchallenge.com
Hope you ALL had a good xmas(including old gang Sandra-CH-Paul(guru)) and have a profitable new year,i remember saying when new comp started it was the end of the fun seems i got that right even if i can’t pick winners!!all the best?
Hi Everyone
Just to let you all know i have today sent Jason another message about the way this competition is being run or not depending on your point of view
I have mentioned about winning horse being classed as non runners ,Not responding to questions on the discuss page, Non payment to competition winners in October Paul and Graham. i can only assume that Novembers wasnt paid out either but i do not know who won in November so cant put up their names.
As soon as i hear from him (IF) i shall let you all know.
But lets hope he answers on here
Greg AKA Joe Raggs
Hi Jason
I still have not had my result updated for 22/12/16 in the 5-00 at Wolverhampton
I selected Pipers Piping that won at 25/1 paying 33s on the exacter
I do appreciate that it is the xmas period, but it has been almost a week since i first contacted you about it and i dont think that its fair that the other participants in this competition dont know what points that they need with only a few days to go .
I have won this competition before and ended up being unplaced because a few of my selections were not counted in that particular month
I do hope that this is not going to happen again because if it does i dont see any point in anyone getting involved in it if the final results at the end of the month are wrong. When i won it before i was playing under the name Greg62
Looking forward to your reply
many thank
Greg (aka) Joe Raggs
HI JASON I PICKED A WINNING HORSE ON 22/12/16 AND HAS NOT BEEN COUNTED AS A WINNER BUT AS A NON RUNNER. I DO BELIEVE GRAHAM PICKED THE SAME HORSE AS WELL IT WAS PIPERS PIPING IN THE 5-00 AT WOLVERHAMPTON
There is a old saying, you do not have to know anything about racing to tip up favs but when Willie and Ruby get together at Thurles I sit up could it be a four timer. Lucky 15 looks beckoning all favourites. Good Luck. John.
MR T,
I Contacted Jason three times but no answer about my points for the horse Clic Work which you say are short. Also the nap site is not up to date at the end of play 30th November Which I think should be updated by Midnight ready for December. As you Know many months ago I thought I finished 2nd but points problems.Anyway moved on from that. By not been given the correct points is a handicap and makes it difficult to compete for 1st-2nd places. I think I will give it a rest this month. andbet at the bookies the weekend no problems. John.
Back by no demand whatsoever, all 1pt E/W.(small loss £3.45 last year)
##Advent Day 1##
[Chelmsford 7:15]
Blimey it’s dark in here,behold our lord said,
nice trick might have been easier just to flick the switch !!
Great Day yesterday a lot of people were on from 7/1 to 7/2 uknowwhatimeanharry. I am on as well for World hurdle Cheltenham at 20/1 now 2nd fav 5/1 bookies running for cover. Next prep race two weeks at Ascot I think.Well done to everyone who backed him. nice to have the rub of the green now and then. Good Luck. John.
Well done John King,couldn’t believe I got 11/2 early doors,backed Harry every time his run. Had a great month so far but lost my way a little on the nap selection picking winners but making wrong decisions on nap.
Love November proper winter racing underway.
Best wishes and good luck Maurice
MR T,
Thank you for your help. I was not aware the points were incorrect, I have sent Jason a e-mail concerning the points . So will have to wait and see what happens, I mentioned you spotted the problem. He did say many Months ago for you to contact him if there is any queries with the system. Thanks again. John.
MR T.
Please feel free to state your opinion. If I placed a £1 win bet to win I would expect £13 returns in the betting shop on chic work who won at 12/1. But I guess returning at 1099 is decimal betfair odds so have to put up with it what we are given. Good Luck. John.
John King,
It is I, putting my nose in whereas I should leave well alone. Are you happy with what has been credited for your winner yesterday ?
Good Afternoon HarryGee61,
Youknowwhatimeanharry absolutely cantered up on a tight rein at 7/2 as I said I was on 23rd at 7/1 also on at 20/1 world hurdle Cheltenham can lighting strike twice?. What a horse a six timer incredible . Hope you were on?. A Champagne cork hit the ceiling the wife shouting lovely bubbly I said I will drink to that. Good Luck. John.
Graham,Fidlers Flight will be hoping for heavy going at Sedgefield at christmas.
Dear Jason,
Thursdays nap 24 has not registered on nap table it was Clic Work winner of the 2-20pm Taunton 12/1sp . If you could have a look please. Thank You. John.
Morning HarryGee61,
Our old hero is going tomorrow . Got on yesterday at 7/1 e/w (corals) .Could not resist a e/w for Ryan air world hurdle March 16th at 20/1 with (Ladbrokes) this morning .Best to mention before the event win/lose/or draw. Good Luck. John.

Latest news entered Friday at Newbury. See how he goes to see if he is World Bound. Good Luck. John.
15:50h Ludl Lac Sacre (FR)
Dear HarryGee61,
Just a quick update to tell you what is going on in the real world. Bishops Bling wont win the triumph hurdle as he is not even entered. The irish horse is FAV Landofhopeandglory 10/1. The race is 17th March ST-Patricks day. I think some EE-GIT was coddin you. Youknowhatimeanharry is entered in the World Hurdle ante post price 16/1 it is 113 days to Cheltenham. I think a bit early to be getting Cheltenham bets on yet. My opinion only. Good Luck. John.
Dear HarryGee61,
Bishop of Bling did not make the frame maybe needed the run. But as you say 7/1 for Cheltenham race March very short price at this stage I would not be running up to the bookie to get on maybe 33/1 would be the right price as over three months to Cheltenham. Every Saturday I do three l15 50p (12 horses ) the top trainer P Nicholls also Ruby Walsh Eire . Yesterday 1st L15 blank 2nd L15 Lets Dance 4/6- Tagrita 6/1- Haymount6/1- 3rd L15 one win Life boat mona 3/1 pprox about £90 to come .Youknowwhatimeanharry all been well will be going to Cheltenham Not sure which race yet?. Good Luck. John.
Hi John King,
No luck yesterday but lets try again.Heard a good word (from the stable cat) so if it loses dont blame the messanger,the horse is Ex 3.00 Bishop of Bling.They are talking about theTriumph Hurdle at CHELTENHAM in March.Its around 7/1so will have to win to be good enough for that race.Good luck. Harry.
Graham,you should be working for FBI when you can crack such difficult codes and John there is more than one John on this planet. Graham get your facts right. That horse has won 8 times, 7 at a mile and a half.I’ve come to the conclusion it’s peed off with the game and will win when least expected, and without any of my money weighing it down.Good punting everybody. I’m finding plenty of winners but not in the competition.
Graham,
Thank you for your reply sorry I am not fully versed with the slang lingo. But I agree you would want your Norton firing on all cylinders . Why don’t CH put up the name of the horse he keeps talking about .Like Jarold otherwise boring conversation. CH a Jaffa?. Iguess it means firing blanks out of your organ .I am thankful my three piece suite is fully functional .Good Luck. John.

CH hope this is’nt to personal (sorry if your offended by this question) but are you by any chance a “Jaffa” ?
also notice since 48 hour declarations Racing Post has adjusted ratings so it’s not top rated any more, now 2lbs lower than top rated!!!
Colin,
I don’t know what you are talking about that I will be giving Fray Bentos a call. They are a worldwide corned beef factory in Uruguay what do you mean.? Most people put the name of there tips on web page. But you and your sidekick keep talking about this horse with no name utter nonsense maybe it is MR ED the talking horse you are on about HA-HA. And who is PP you signed ?. The mind boggles. John.
– 17:45h Newc Visitant
Sandra, I haven’t got the best of draws and my favourite jockey has opted for something else, but I’ll still be trying my best, If I can’t get in the first three I think John might be giving Frey Bentos a call.Cheers PP.
Dear HarryGee61,
Are you still in Eire?. A fantastic Saturdays racing up Ascot/Haydock. Uknowwhatimean has 11st-12lb to carry a tough task but he is a class act. The owner JP has two other runners in the race .Iwill have a e/w on him he won me £300 in March so win-lose -draw he don’t owe me anything. Best of Luck. John.
CH & S Racing Post has him top rated for the race,no don’t laugh,really !!!

Afternoon Sandra, if you pick this message up, I’ve been to see our old friend today.Although he’s had his last chance he told me he was feeling great and he was sure he was going to run a good race on Saturday.Thanks to a new bit,cheek pieces and his favourite jockey he felt he would do much better. I am hopeless with this tipping lately. Classic case today, i’ve waited for the last two races and backed Agamemon won at 10/1 and posted a stupid loser in the last at Lingfield.

Good luck!!!
Dear HarryG61
Modus just got touched off ran a cracker in defeat. Not getting the rub of the green. Drew a blank at Cheltenham Saturday. Yesterday done 3 lucky 15 50p win. Cheltenham one win le- Prezien 8/11. 2nd lucky 15 double lakaik 9/2 navan-Ariel 12/1 3rd lucky 15 -More Bucks 3/1 Peak toPeak 4/1 double again. So made a small profit over two days. How did you get on?. Looking forward to Saturday if he runs you knowwhatimean. As modus came up the Cheltenham yesterday I was shouting C-mon-Arry -C-Mon Arry. It was great racing the last weekend. Best of Luck .John.
Dear HarryGee61
Cheltenham is a tough meeting .Sunday is going to be difficult with the ground going soft to pick winners. I fancy the nichools trained Mc Manus horses Movewiththetimes – Le Prezien- Modus .Modus ran well recently at Ascot getting stopped but finished 3rd . Harry Cobden claiming 3lb he should go close. The last horse for the L15 is Brams de clerment 3-40pm. Best of Luck. John.
Hi John King,
Great days racing but just a couple of bets for me. Done UTT 4.00 Old Harry Rocks got 7/2, was a eyecatcher last time out and got a good chance today.My other bet is an E/W at Cheltenham 1.50 Shotgun Paddy,10/1.Also done the e/w double. It wont be easy to get winners at cheltenham with the big fields.Good luck with your bets today. Harry.
Hi my points for the win at 2:15 Chepstow yesterday have not been added, but todays losing nap has been taken off owed 2.4 points I think it was. Ta
Dear HarryGee61,
I don’t know where (ROI) is?. Youknowwhatimeanharry is entered November 19th Saturday Fixed Brush Hurdle. Early doors 6/1. But might be best to bet nearer the time as he could be a non runner. Name sake tomorrow Harry Hunt 7/1 at presentNewbury 1-30pm should be fit from the flat could be a e/w chance. C-MON ARRY C-MON ARRY Two. Best of Luck. John.
Dear paul Hindmarsh,
You have been plugging away all year with big price winners . So you are not winning out of turn. A clear winner. Well done and good luck. John.
Dear Harry Gee,
Youknowwhatimeanharry non runner Sat . He has a new owner John P Mc Manus. So will be interesting to follow N/H seson .Let you know when he is running in the future. Good Luck. John.
Brilliant stuff PH. I appreciate the last one was your mate Gosden’s, but you seem to drop on the right ones. I suppose the first one was down to the lucky pin I was on about at the beginning of the month, but still well done. I’ve had too many hard luck stories this month and I am in Spain until the 4th, so with no access to any form I’ll post a few silly ones till the end of the month and start again when I get home.
Dear Harry Gee,
How are you.? I think youknowwhatimean is entered at erby Saturday 29th 2-45pm. Hope he continues the good work where he left off in March The biggest priced ante post winner I have had this year 25/1 .It is wetherby price at present 7/2 C- MON- ARRY C-MON-ARRY I will be on will you?. Best of Luck. John.
Hi Colin .youve got to move it! I got the twitch and your in my way , good luck SANDRA.
Question/explaination !. Does anyone know why there were approximately 90 names on last months web page with the letters N/A beside there names which I presume means not-available. This month there is 200 names same again N/A beside there names. If they are not participating in the competition what are they doing on the page?. I think a waste of space on the web page. John.
Paul, I think you have had your pin out already with todays tip.Picked Mad Endeavour in that but only for small stakes.
Only a neck Colin , tough luck, but I did do it EW, so a small profit not a loss , good luck to you for Oct comp , Sandra
Hi Colin, 1600 Pont another silly one but maybe a winner good luck , Sandra
Hi everybody,I see there are no comments lately and only John and Graham had anything to say in the last 3 weeks. Is this a sign that everybody is losing interest in the site.Regarding the competition, I think it’s great that so many people send their tips in. but more I think about it. it’s more of a laugh than a serious competition. People start the month off ok and then after a few days without a winner they get the pin out and send silly tips in. these happen to connect now and again and win at silly prices leaving them to win the competition with 1 or2 winners and about 28 losers. Next month somebody else gets their pin out and does the same. I’ve always said you can’t win without finding some outsiders. Genuine racing men in the Racing Post tip horses between 3 and 6 to 1. None of these tipster would win our competition, even Hugh Taylor.We have a 33/1 limit on tips and I would like to seea 10/1 limit which would then invite players to send in genuine chance horses with the best man rather than the luckier ones winning.Only a suggestion, but I think a good one.
Graham,
Batman says to Robin I have put the champers back on ice. Robin replies it will be vintage by the time you have a winner. The Dancing Lord last. Will a winner ever come?.
Graham,
Leicester 5-30pm the Dancing lord. Will he quick-step into the winners enclosure ?. Price 10/1 six horses to beat handicapper has given him 9-10 pounds a tough task for a selling plater but who knows?. Adam West hopes for the best. Robin says they can forget the rest.
Dear Graham,
Not Gotham City but Chelmsford City 9-20pm Burning Love will he scorch the track . Placed in a claimer for Adam West.Double carpet at present(33/1) will you be on it old chap. Thursday Night. Holy Smoke. Said Robin.
Colin , hope you have not got the cob on , down a class and 1m 3f should do it , give it a good shot but no staying POWER, Sandra.
Jason,
There is something wrong with your BSP. At the start of today, I had +2.8. My selection today won & according to the Betfair SP on At The Races, paid +5.64, so with the 1 pt deduction this would have been 4.64 & my total should have risen to +7.48. However my total is showing +11.9.
Please correct. Thanks.
Sandra, The Power is going on Monday.Had a corn in his foot, so no excuse this time. Give it a last chance.
Sorry two e-mails the same . first said word error I thought it had not gone through anyway two is better then none. John.
Dear Jason,
Winner today Colibri 2-30pm Brighton not Registered on League Table?. Would you have a look. Thank You. John.
Dear Jason,
Colibri won Brighton 2-30pm today but has not registered as a winning nap on League Table .Would you have a look please. Thank You. John.
Hi Sandra,in Blackpool for a couple of days and not had chance to post today but I’ll probably find something at Galway. Who cares anyway,just had a lucky 15 while we were out. 7/1 5/1 4/1 and a non runner so I reckon a nice little £755 pick-up.Who needs the September competition. I’ll still give it my best shot now I have got a foundation.
Sandra, what was your post on the 27th all about.Just looked at our standings for the month and thought maybe on the 27th I was lying on top of you or vice versa. On a serious note I’ve had acrap month with a few placed at big prices plus one winner at twelve to one that I couldn’t get on in time.Hope we both have better luck next month.The person that won for August was a bit warm towards the end of the month.
Graham
You said Donal Nolan the trainer two winners in I 10 years and his horses wore white blinkers that is like waving the white flag (I surrender) I think Donald Duck would have been quicker and you would have heard him coming QUACK-QUACK .The Dancing Lord finished last beaten over 100 lengths in 5-25 Epsom yesterday if there had been a race after that he would have won that. I think his horses are selling platers or class 6 or they should be put out to grass. That’s been polite.
Graham, My noble Lord will you be placing a wager on the dancing lord 5-25pm Epsom.? The Batman& Robin are wearing a bit thin so I am going to give them a rest and hope Adam West has a winner soon and you back it I guess it will be at a big price as his horses are not world beaters . A bit of laughter now and then is the best tonic. Good Luck. John.
Graham’
Batman backed the horse at 10/1 it finished at ten past four.Batman said to robin I was hoping to nip down the jug for a few pints but disappointment again all the horses have duck eggs beside there names .Robin says gee batman I have a idea as we train in Epsom why not put some Epsom salts in the horse feed it might make them run faster. Good idea boy wonder batman replies. Robin says holy potty pooo-ss
we would be all in the Doo Doo,if (guru) PH had stayed loyal with Robbie Roo Roo !!…hope you had a bit on PAUL…
Colin don’t tell everybody please 1545hrs,
Jason,
Can you check my nap for Thursday 25/08
3-10 Leicester Rosebride it hasn’t been added to table.
Thanks and best wishes
Maurice
Graham,
Robin says to batman may I come around for a drink as I am broke due to the horses losing?. Certainly batman replied I have Adams Ale on tap. Robin replied HOLY- WATERFALLS.
Graham
Batman & Robin were pushing the batmobile after the races no money for bat juicer the two horses lost. Robin says to Batman I hear Cat women has taken a shine to the Penguin. Batman replies not surprised they both stink of fish cat women was around last night sitting with her legs open saying frying tonite. Robin replied. HOLY CATFISH.
Looks like he should have stayed salmon fishing with his brother,(early days)

Graham,
6-40pm Kempton park Wednesday Pinwood 28/1 the Penguin is not riding he eats too much fish and fishcakes also wobbles across the track said Batman Robin replied HOLY MACKEREL.
Finally posted a winner for August but it’s the only winner so far today that Bsp is shorter than official Sp. If your luck is out it’s out and mine is this month.
Graham,
I think the next entries for the horse are Chelmsford city or Gotham city. Robin wants to put a monkey on it. Batman said I don’t care who is on it except the Penguin otherwise we will have to pay his riding fee in fish and we don’t trust him. Robin replied. HOLY MACKREL. John.
Graham,
Robin said to Batman would you adam and eve it (believe it) .I had a bet on the horse. Looks like that bet gone west as your name sake Adam West. Holy Smoke. John.
Graham,
The bat mobile was outside the post office Batman said to boy wonder why have you got your pension book in your long johns Robin replied I like to feel the benefit. I did not see the bat mobile outside the bookmakers as there horse finished nearer to last then first. John.
“HOLY COWPATS” don’t know if anyone else as seen “BATMAN” has started training (Chepstow 3:55 # 3)not sure how long he’s been at it!!..but “To the Bat Mobile, Robin!”..
Dear Sandra,
What ever you say. The jokes I put on the web page you will find are old Ken Dodd- Jim Bowen jokes. Nothing personal to anyone . John.
Dear Sandra,
You have not offended me or insulted me in any way. You are entitled to your opinion like every else. So when you make a statement to other contestants you do not have to use me as a excuse for your comments. John.
Sorry Maurice, didnt want to get John going again, and to see that DEAR to start with gets me going , whats up with HI THERE ! or maybe SORRY !!! Sandra
Sandra,
What happened yesterday I would have backed you to be on Sandras secret
Maurice
Collin,
Thanks for enlightening me on Captain Beaky’s previous win.I don’t follow every months tipping competition although I’ve been close a couple of times myself.
But I would like to say one or two of you regular posters show some nice monthly profits.
Keep the good work up.
Maurice
Well done Captain Beaky.
You have been knocking on the door a few times in the past
Good luck for this month
Maurice
Congratulations to the July winners
1st = Captain Beaky winning £100
2nd = Colin Holder winning £50
Please email me with your paypal address so that I can process your winnings
Well done
Jason
The reason we brought the price cap in to place was not to stop people going for the 50/1 shots, but to stop inflated prices.
Our results are calculated to BSP. So if a horse is 20/1 in the bookies, it is likely to return much higher on Betfair. So people were picking 20/1 winners and getting credited with 50 or 60 points because of the bet fair price!
Then everybody else was out of the competition so to speak
Jason
Jason, just to repeat what I said earlier in the month, the rules state there is a 33 to 1 limit on winners.This means a BSP of 34. As I said before my 33 to 1 winner should have credited me with 33 pts but I only got 32. I hope you have this in mind if the 1 point is needed at the finish.
Regarding the limit I agreed with it before as people were getting different prices for the same selections, also original prices if there were non runners later on, but as everybody is now getting the same price, I would be in favour of doing away with the limit. If anybody fancies a 50 to 1 shot, good luck to them.Anybody else got a view on the limit.
Hey up Paul H, What was wrong with Gosden today.
Hi John , did you get on my winner WAR DECREE, WHAT A JOKE 6/4 YOU COULD SEE IT COMING COULDNT YOU ! THATS RACING FOR YOU , Sandra good luck
Dear Harry gee,
Good winner.Gereaghty fell at the last fence brought down henryvile also my hourse when running on would have got a place at least yours won very easy. Aidean o brien said at the races yesterday he fancies Dick Whittington 3-05pm the curragh today 9/2 I have napped it. Best of Luck. John.
see what i mean C H Obrien at curragh today wins it with outsider
I think this must be a tip for John { Newbury 1610hrs horse 14 } good luck !
Dear Harry gee,
I napped Monsieur Gibraltar on 3rd July finished 2nd at 7/1 had a big weight going Saturday Market Rasen 2-45pm got a feather weight 16/1 at the moment could be worth a small e/w. I am backing it. Best of luck. John.
Sandra,
If you are a male why are you using a female name (Sandra) I reply to Sandra not Sandra2 on e-mails the mind boggles .I can read between the lines on some e-mails this site it seems one person is using different names/different e-mail addresses. All the e- mail addresses are private so you cannot contact anyone. Anyway I said to the wife your breath smells fowl she replied I had a chicken curry last night I said that is a game. John.
Sandra, sorry broke a blood vessal and pulled up.The horse not me.
Jason, Regarding my post the other day. The rules state there is a maximum cap of 33/1 on winners, therefore anybody tipping a winner above 33/1 should be credited with 33 points not 32. You owe me a point which could be important in the final reckoning.
Sandra,
Iheard a knock this morning, looked out of bedroom window and saw a post office van outside, I said to the wife quick get your bra also your things on the post man is at the door, she replied I expect he has seen many knockers in his time and wont worry him. That odds on favourite you gave me war Decree Saturday is it still running? cant be any worse then my jokes. John.
Sandra, I hope you took that 12/1 that was freely available on 365 last night.
Hi Paul, at least I picked it out myself and not like you, having to rely on Gosden. Only joking. When I saw your big priced winner last week, I thought to myself it must be Gosdens, but why pick that one, but when I checked it was his only runner that day.Just like your 90+ winner from a few months back.
Been out snookering and got in at about 11-30 and then watched the racing from Thirsk and couldn’t believe my eyes when it was time for the last race and Tan Arabiq was going off at 80/1. I couldn’t believe them again when it won as I had sent it in for my tip during the afternoon and taken 35/1 on the exchanges for £13. I will have to count myself lucky as if I’d seen it at 80/1 I would probably have left it alone.Believe it or not the BSP is 269.72. I think I deserve a gold medal.I do have a slight complaint in that there is a 33/1 limit, but I have only been credited with a 32/1 winner. Are you taking note Jason.
Sorry John, I keep getting seconds today , just had 4 on the trot , don’t like it, think I will stop for today , Sandra xx
Dear John take no notice of Sandra 2 she is my husband having a laugh , you have a good win on WAR DECREE 1600 N/M , all the best Sandra xx
Dear Sandra,
You sure caught me out on that joke very good. John.
Dear Sandra,
If the horse falls out of the stalls or runs .It has come under starters orders so not a non runner. John.
Dear Sandra.
When a horse comes under starters orders .It is classed as a runner if it walks or runs makes no difference. Does that answer your question?. Backed a horse at 10/1 finished at ten past four ( old Tommy Cooper Joke) Ha-Ha. John.
I backed a horse at 10/1 the other day it finished at ten past four. John.
Jason,
It is now 9.22pm and my selection ran in the 8pm but still no update on the Nap Table. Why is taking so long?
The last comment on this page was 3/7/2006 you sad lot of punters ! may I wish you all the best and good luck for July you really do need it , Sandra
Hi Harry,
I tipped up Friday night penglai pavilion at !6/1 ,Saturday morning line ch4 Tom segal tips it backed from 16 to 9/1 . the old saying putting the mockers on it. My poor excuse for a loser just out of the money fifth place yours finished 4th both ran well in defeat. Ch4 racing on TV Tuesday Newmarket. Good Luck. .
Hi Guys
The league standing for June is showing:
1st – Pete French 27.23pts
2nd – Captain Beaky 21.33pts
Everybody happy with that?
Jason
Dear Harry G,
What do you fancy in the old newton cup at Haydock 2-50pm. I have backed Pengali- pavilion £5 e/w at 16/1 lunch time today for tomorrow . The horse finished 5th in the arc three years ago so I thought it might have a e/w chance at a big price . Best of Luck. John.
If there is any justice on league table then Pete French should be paid out last months winner also he won fair and square a few months ago and was not paid out because technicalities which were nothing to do with him been paid unfair I think. John.
Sorry again, Beaky not Bleaky.
Hi Jason, from the figures you are showing, it would appear to me that Pete French is last month’s winner with Captain Bleaky the runner-up. This is subject to anybody else having a complaint. I told you days ago that Roland tipped Itlaaq on the tenth. It was 25.36 but it finished 6th not 1st. I think it did win later, but it didn’t win on the day Roland tipped it. Trying to be fair to the ones I think were the genuine winners. Nothing personal against Roland. I don’t know him from Adam.
**Update
Hi guy’s, I’m going to be finalising results for June over the weekend, so if anybody spots any incorrect results or wrong points please list them on here and we will get them amended.
We think we have ironed out most of the bugs now including the non-runner problem, although some of you may have non runners that were deducted a point so please let us know!
Jason
Hi Jason,It’s the last day tomorrow and you are still showing Roland 25.36 points too many.I told you two days ago and it still hasn’t been altered. There will be a lot of people that wont bother tomorrow as they’ll think they have no chance when in fact they will.I can’t believe nobody has commented for five days. Is it because we are out of the EU? I hope we can still be friends. Don’t be paying out on the present standings.
Has everybody gone on holiday.
Sorry it’s Roland not Jarold.
Jason, why does your helper keep putting silly scores on the leader board and confusing everybody. Jarolds Itlaaq was25.36 on the tenth but unfortunately it didn’t win so a small adjustment is needed to his score.
I have tried to answer Jasons questions/remarks but my e-mails blocked. John.
Dear
Colin , we had our chance yesterday , only two rides , 40/1 & 50/1 , I looked at both and only backed Dark Diamond 40/1 , he won on the 50/1. tough! Sandra xx
Colin where are you , stuck in the mud or traffic at Glastonbury , I am sorry if I upset you , please get some winners on that board I`m feeling lonely up here , its getting toward the end of the month now, Sandra xx
Jason ,tell me , does one get a point deducted for a non runner, I think I have had two that have not been deducted,
Guys!! As I have always said, if you spot any incorrect results, just mention it on here and I will get them resolved. I simply don’t have time to go through everybody’s tips and check every result everyday, hence the reason why we started an automated competition!
I will of course correct the results mentioned below.
John, What do you mean by ‘who has had the prize money’, has it gone in your back pocket’???
I think you are forgetting that I stump up the cash myself out of my own pocket, this is a FREE to enter competition, you are not paying an entry fee, so how can you possibly say that I am pocketing the money!!!!
MR T, the new developer will sort out these problems, if you make us aware of them..
Jason
345 Salisbury 7/6 /2016 entertaining Ben won its showing it lost thanks Mr T
Dear MR T.
I have no objections against helping fellow punters by tips or advice. It is when you object to fellow players getting paid when it is the system that is at fault not the players fault. No one has been paid last two months. Who has had the prize money.? Can you answer that question. Has it gone in your back pocket?. John.
Can you look at league on Sunday because I don’t understand the drastic change in league placing cheers
Ashy24 – are you saying that any of your results are incorrect?
I was top of the comp yesterday checked this morning and I’m sixteenth yet I had a winner noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hi Sandra
What is the other horse that should be marked as a win?
Harry G
Last day Ascot. I said earlier in the week I was following Ryan Moore also irish horses. Ryan moore did not have the rub of the green Ascot also soft ground which ruined my lucky15 bets also single bets. Had a lucky 31 50p win today at Ascot. I fancy The Happy Prince 5-00pm at a big price. Sandra Botticelli- Sir Isaac Newton- Gold Fun-Simple verse . Have you backed anything today Harry.? Best of Luck. John.
Sandra, please elaborate!! What is ‘playing up’?
Jason
comp/position playing up , check score sheet.
Afternoon Harry,
Put on convey early yesterday at 10/1 one hour later it poured down . I knew then my bet had gone up the swanny . Watching football shortly England will be hoping the Welsh don’t put the kibosh on them. Will have a go ascot Saturday providing weather stays good for races. Good luck with the betting. John.
Evening Harry,
Well done you were spot on with that tip .I done a lucky 15 long shots no good also single bet on convey backed from 10/1 to fav the ground again stopped him . I am going to wait until Saturday until next bet as I am out of form at the moment. Hope the ground dries up by Saturday and my luck changes. You are in good form and may long it continue. Best of Luck. John.
Hi John,
Thats £200 up on the 1st race. Trying a E/W next race 3 5 Madam Dancealot. Also an E/W on my nap 5 00 Mr Owen + E/W double.
Sandra, DD is running today, but i’ll wait for Ripon.
Morning Harry.
The ground drying out should be better today. I like convey 5-00pm Ascot but will include in lucky 15 .Left a bit of money with the bookie yesterday hope to get it back before the week is out. Paddy Power are doing best odds all day Ascot meeting instead of 11am to 1 pm. Best of Luck. John.
Hi Harry,
Not making excuses but the soft ground has gone against our horses but the money is down mine is now 6/1 from 10/1 got a lot of weight soft ground. Yours is 8/1 now would have liked good to firm. Got a lucky 31 on as well . Best of Luck. John.
Sandra, been to see FP this morning and he tells me his legs got cut last time,but he is going to try and make the running and can hopefully be still in front at the 2 marker but whether or not he can hold on is another matter,but he says he’ll try his best otherwise it’s blinkers next time.
,Hi Harry.
Had quiet a bit of rain down here looks like more on the way . I live in Surrey 7 miles from Ascot .Going good to soft hopefully no more rain it ruins the chances of the cream of the crop. A brave bet Harry in the Coventry £20 on the nose it looks a tough race same as the ascot stakes I am on e/w 4places at 10/1 £20. I will be following Ryan Moore this week also irish horses the yank Wesley Ward he usually pops one in. Lucky 15s .It should be a great week Ascot racing/euro football a sportsmans dream. Good Luck and hope we have winners. John.
Hi John,
Put one bet on for Tuesday at R/A 3.5 Mehmas.Frankie reckons he will win
on this one but its racing and anything can happen. I put £20 on the nose @ 13/2
and hope for the best. Harry.
I do miss you lovely people putting your thoughts and secondary tips on this post – page like we used to , there must be many tips for the comp you don’t know which one to use or good price fancied horses worth taking a chance on , spice it up! make it more interesting, lets have some long shot tips to have a bit of fun with and MAYBE just maybe like Colin we can hit the bookie with a BIG win from a small stake, Sandra good luck to you all .
Evening Sandra, just realised what you meant now I’ve seen the results.Good shot of yours the other day. I’ll sleep ok thought as you are well out of my reach and not directly on top of me.Listen to this what i’ve had today. 2 50p lucky 15s plus 50p accumulator. 28 10p 6 folds, 8 10p 7folds 1 1.40 8 fold. Stood to win over a million. They were all about 9/2. 6 winners [ 3 in each lucky 15 as usual].When I’d had 5 winners and I was waiting for the last one for a 10p 6 fold worth £1800 I had a brainwave and did the first cash-out of my life for £454. The last one won. Have I been lucky or unlucky? Better safe than sorry, so I suppose lucky.
Presumeably Jarold and Roland’s figures will be rectified shortly.
This league table is becoming nonsensical now.
John, Haydock is tonight, but thanks for hoping I have a good day. Sandra, I don’t understand what has put the cat among the pigeons.
Hi Harry gee,
Thank you for your help. Your advice worked the web page is fine and upright. Were you on the Ryan Moore winners yesterday 3 winners out of 5 at Haydock. He was due some winners he had been getting the odd one here and there last couple of weeks and a lot of seconds. Thanks Again. John.
Colin , that put the cat amongst the pigeons din it !
Colin,
Hope you had a good day at haydock and took the hint Ryan Moore e/e-6/1-7/4 three out of five should have made profit .Anway the tips/advice I have put up on this site have all won so I hope it has done people a good turn and not a bad turn over the previously months.Managed to get the nap on late but lost as the nap site was playing up this morning . Good Luck. John
System now allowing me to select a Nap. At least there are two English meetings still to choose from tonight.
Sorry John Smith, It should have read Joe Sime. I dont know where Simon came from.
sent tweet 3 hours ago
@Betinfo24UK- i’m sure you are aware of the cock-up selecting nap’s today ??
reply
Looking into now Graham.
Colin,
Has Ryan Moore gone up to plunder Haydock Park this afternoon 5 rides there should be winners among them. John.
Still unable to place a nap at Beverley. Click on the race and only two horse names appear with zeros at the side in brackets.
Please can you look at the system again.
Thanks.
Jason.
Tried this morning to place my nap but when you click meeting/time the blue marker slides across and only two horse names appear with zeros by there names no prices, Could you please have a look. Thank you. John.
M R T,
I have clicked everything on the web page but it is still upside down even Tweeked the wife she did not move. Colin says you are not going to haydock races tonight as Joe Simon wont be there he is a disc jockey (be okay for a few tunes ) .Doug Smith is dead. Edgar Britt is over 100 and in the hall of fame in Australia.If Steve Donoghue was there I would go .The king of Epsom Downs he could ride winners like a dose of salts.Only Jockey to win triple crown twice. ,Derby winners ,Champion Jockey Hall of fame.Will you be in the hall of fame M R T with the all time greats?.
I THINK YOU MAY FIND THAT ITS NOT !
THE LEADERS ARE STILL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST
Table/results updated and hopefully problem fixed! Is everybody happy with the league standings so far??
Bit late, but does any body fancy Haydock tomorrow evening.I have a free spare ticket from racing uk.I asked Mr T but he didn’t fancy it. I think it was because Joe Simon, Edgar Britt and Doug Smith weren’t riding.
The only two prices I can see wrong at the moment are Cliffhangers price for Marty1357 should be 33.31 not 23.32 and Maurice and Sandra’s Roy’s legacy should be 8.67 not 21.Sorry Sandra darling but i’ve always been a snitch.
Dear Jason,
It shows on my webpage .Jack Bentley !st- Barney 2nd- Pete French 3rd -Minus 5 points. They should be in the bottom three. So site still upside down. Can you fix it from your end?. Also Graham sent a E-mail with the same problem. Thank You. John.
Guy’s
The table is NOT upside down!! Yes it was for the first 2 days, but that is now not the case. The table looks perfectly fine.
Colin, we are not manually entering the wrong odds!! Yes we can clearly see that they are wrong so we need to find the root of the problem which we are doing now.
If you would like to help us out and speed up the process, please post the results which you see are wrong. We can then run diagnosis checks for the previous days to see why it has happened
Thanks
Jason
John King,
When you say that you are seeing the league table upside down, I presume that you have pressed the up symbol next to the column heading. Just a thought.
After today i’ll hopefully not have to mention prices again as things will maybe get sorted but i’m not holding my breath. I see yesterday WibbleWobble tipped Congressional It was 5.94 but he was crdited 16.98. Getting back to Blaine which was 8.4 and Graham was credited with 33. Surely anybody with a 1/4 of a brain knows that a 4/1 and a 8/1 can’t have a BSP of 16.98 and 33 respectively.Come on Jason get things sorted before the month is too old.
Jason you said you paid out a lot of money for new site .Why did you not get your engineer to run up the site to view any problems before the public get to see it. Surely any one can see the league table upside down did you not notice before you paid out a lot of money. It is not a good recommendation for your engineer either. I was a heating engineer and would have to run up the systems to iron out problems airlocks etc before handing over the system to the clients. If the system was not working right they would not pay as simple as that. But as you have paid out a lot of money I hope he fixes it for you. Good Luck. John.
Yes they are! but they have not been done intentionally
The software obviously has a few glitches which we are looking into
Jason, call them what you want, they are stupid prices. Graham should be on 23.9[I think] and is showing 59. If that’s not stupid, what is?
Colin and everybody else. We have NOT applied ‘stupid’ prices. The system has taken these prices directly from Betfairs API, so there is obviously a problem there somewhere. I’ll get our developer to look into it.
It’s easy for everybody to criticise and say this is stupid and that is stupid, but as I keep saying, getting this thing to run correctly is not as easy as it sounds! obviously I have spent a lot of money on this so will try and get it working correctly.
Sandra, we have started a fresh due to inaccurate results. I know there are still problems but we want to get it right
Jason
go back to the old days where you place one or two tips and a little banter, much more fun comming on this site
jason L
Non runner on Saturday one point deducted. WHY???
What has happened to my monthly totals . My ratings only show the last four naps for this month I should have ratings for several months now . Please can you look at the system and sort out my ratings .thank you.
As I said before June it is better to travel in expectation into June then arrive in disappointment but sorry to say it is the latter .Colin has spotted the points problem which is the crucial part of the competition as it forms the league table positions .To coincide with other sports Football etc the league table should read the leaders at the top with high points and the ones with less points at the bottom of table. Not the leader at the bottom of the table also the wrong points crazy. It is not professional and for anyone looking at the league table it is a laugh. John.
Just a few price updates. I have already told you the price of Smugglers Moon was 19.5 not 30.The price of Blaine is 8.4 and Graham has been credited with 33. No wonder he is a mile in front. Cliffhangers price was 33.31 and Marty1357 has been credited 23.32. And most importantly Roy’s Legacy’s price is 8.67 not 21 as this wll put Sandra in her rightful place ie somewhere under me.If things dont improve you may as well shut the shop.
Diabolical.Where are you getting these silly prices from. They are not BSP’s. I would also like to mention that I have not slept all night as Sandra was lying on top of me. Please alter her price to it’s proper mark as she should be under me.
What a shambles,everyone looking forward to a great site that was promised by
Jason.Ican see plenty of complaints this month until things get sorted out.Good
luck to all and happy punting. Harry.
Well all the dissatisfaction with the site that’s gone on over the last couple of months we’ve ended up with this.Cant see anyone’s selections when logging in on i phone.Touch screen and you end up anywhere other than were you want to be and the 33/1 cap where has that come from you would not accept it off your bookie and as far as I am aware the racing post don’t operate it either
Maurice
Dear Jason,
Not been funny , but why is the league table upside down.? Winners at the bottom losers at the top don’t make sense. I napped Pink Ribbon price at time I napped was 9.25 it shows on my league table 7.25.I have read since your engineer stated these prices are a guide at the time you nap. I think this is a recipe for disaster. Colin has picked up on this winning naps returning at different prices. Which will no doubt lead to contestants disagreeing at the end of the Month and it is not there fault also result in prize money not been paid out again. Good Luck. John.
Jason, I am back again,just to say that you have credited Pauluk with 9pts for a winner with BSP of 4.7. I haven’t time to check any more but I suggest more care is needed on somebody’s part.
Jason. good morning, this site certainly knows how to cock things up The two leaders on the board have been credited with 30pts for Smugglers Moon and the BSP was 19.5. I have been credited with 14.2 for Blue Top and the BSP was 20.9. Can somebody get their finger out please or are we going to have another month of problems. Please sort it now or it will be showing false positions until it is sorted.
The wife said will we have to go to Australia as the site is upside down.I said it would be nice to see silicone valley she replied it is in America. Isaid to her I always thought it was the gap between Pamela Andersons breasts at Bay Watch. John.
Jason,
Posted a winner 20.9 at 8-30. Not registered at 9-30. Is it going to show? You asked to report any problems.
Sandra, the 5 minute man just came up with Blue Top.
Sandra, you might be grateful for a 5 minute merchant sometime in the future. 5 minutes is plenty of time to sort a winner.
Hi Mr T
If you can find as many faults as you can this month so Jason don’t have to pay out 1st-2nd places if you are nice to him you might get a brownie badge at end of the month. John.
Hi Guys, How is everybody finding the new version so far?
Everyone ok with the league table?
Jason
Mr T,
There is no one called Ruskin in the nap league table. Maybe you got confused with the author Ruskin. Enclosed a quote from (The stones of Venice) To banish in perfection is to destroy expression to check exertion to paralyze vitality. John.
Found myself just below waynecurtis,things are bad.
I’m lost… i cant find myself in the new league table, i know my tips have been bad this month,one winner and countless runner ups,hope betinfo have not introduced a relegation system.Anyone else disapeared.
Hi Mr T
I selected My Nap for 1st June But 1st nap no price-2nd said database failed 3rd nap registered.At the time I was not aware that the new system was not working until Jason sent a update e-mail later on saying the system starts the 2nd of June. As far as I was concerned it started the !st June as we were previously told by Jason and had not heard otherwise.I hope that clears matters my end. Ist day naps should not be counted as the system was not working properly as I had 3 nap attempts. John.
Could somebody point me in the right direction for the new league table, please.
When I go in it just shows members with one selection from yesterday. Well at 3.42pm on the 2nd June I am sure members have selected in early races today.
Hi
I see that todays selections are not shown on each tipster, will that be the case as tips will be in secret? As I follow a couple of tipsters and I can not back their selections.
cheers paul
Jason,
Two points,
1) In your message of June 1st you stated: “Obviously todays results won’t count for anything. but after today the new software and new league table will be in place”, yet I notice that people have been credited with wins/losses from yesterday . Are you saying that those results will not count as I for one did not select anything in view of your message.
2) This is no way aimed at John King but I notice that your new system allowed him to make three selections yesterday! I hope this is just a glitch in the new system which will be corrected.
Sandra, all my bets are made in the last 5 minutes If you care to e-mail your mobile I will text you some good winners.
Colin precious less of the chit-chat and get some winners on that board, John King is getting two bites of the apple every day so what is going on there!!
Jason, I hope the new competition goes well but as I said last month, the snag with BSP is you get your stake back twice. Anybody who wants to tip a 1 to 20 horse would be credited with about 1.05 instead of 0.05. I suppose it’s the same for everybody so not to worry.
John,no Sandra is not my better half, but we go back a couple of years with chat ups and wind ups.Shes happyly married to Peter who also sends tips in.I don’t even know where she lives but she’s told me it’s miles from me She knows I live in Yorkshire so she’s probably a southerner, maybe from your neck of the woods.Could even be near Woking.
To Colin/Jarold ,
All quiet on the western front. Keeping your powder dry for tomorrow. I notice Irish racing has been added to the site. The wife said is Colin the other half to Sandra .I said could well be but who knows.? I come in late last night the wife threw the clock at me. I said to her time flies. John
Sandra, Desert Strike wins often when He is dropped in the weights and has to be drawn low because it has to lead. Keep putting a couple of quid away for Dubai Dynamo next time it runs at Ripon. I had to change that one yesterday. I thought it would just put me in front but I miscalculated the fact that i’d had a loser the day before.Anyway I thought you had fallen out with me and got pally with John.
**UPDATE**
The new comp will officially launch tomorrow, I was supposed to launch today but had ‘power cut’ so can’t launch half way through today!
Obviously todays results won’t count for anything. but after today the new software and new league table will be in place
Jason
Jarold, you didn’t post until late, so why did you bother and then you would have been second. Although, as I said this morning Sandy Black has two losers that haven’t been deducted.
Posted Desert Strike at 9.2 this morning and then realised I was going to be a fraction short so I channged my nap. I probably would have been second but I didn’t want to be second so I went for the 13/1 shot this afternoon.Not to worry. all guns blazing tomorrow.Hoping the competition is going to be better, as promised.
According to my calculations, the leaderboard going into the last day should read:
Ziltiod 50.6
Jarold 42.9
Sandy Black 41.2 [3 not registed, 2 losers and a non runner]
Colin holder 41.44 [ winner at 10.5 not registered]
Harrygee 38.2 [ winner at 11 not registed]
thepilgarlic 36.78
Best of luck to everybody today.
When I first met the wife she said hello handsome do you know where the opticians is I said yes took her there she said to optician I am short sighted he said come outside and look up and tell me what you see she replied the sun he replied how further do you want to see.Anyway I came in the other day she said have you been following the horses again I replied I thought you were short sighted she replied but I have a great sense of smell. John.
For those that might be interested ch4 are doing a pick6 Saturday (morning line) 9am free to enter £10.000 prize money also consolation prize £1.000 runner up placed horses without getting 6winners .Next pick6 winners is the 3/6/016 on ch4 .A women won it last week she was on television collecting cheque £10.000 .Anyway a wise soft ware engineer said it is better to enter into June in expectation then arrive in disappointment. Good luck for June also to Colin/Harry who are in contention for prize money 1-2places. I posted thismessage earlier but it was removed strange. John.
Morning Harrygee, IF AND WHEN, IF AND WHEN, IF AND WHEN you get your 11 pts and I get my 10-5 pts we have the makings of a good contest over the last four days. I should be just leading and you should be 4th, but a lot can happen by the end of the month.
The wife said give the nap contest a rest until June. The site will be fixed then. She said carry on following the horses and we will have the best veg, roses, rhubarb this summer. Isaid to her it is not a job to be sniffed at in this hot weather. John.
Hi Sandra,
hope you had a nice holiday.I expect that cost money.? Yes you are correct it says in the bible money is the root of all evil. The bookmakers who fund this site make millions profit Annually . Betfair are Worldwide make billions profit. It is not the little punter. If anyone enters a competition for a trophy or money .EG Lottery-Darts-Pools-Horse Racing Etc. They would be lying if they said they did not want to win. Also it is the principle of Study .Form skill, judgement to pick winning naps for approx. 30 days then you find a technicality which stops you winning that is not your fault. Annoying. John.
Hi Harry Gee,
you have heard the saying flogging a dead horse. that applies to this site. Jason has said previously he is not a software Engineer so he cant fix the errors that occur which leads to arguments. I guess that is why he has not replied to anyone. So we have to grin and bear it . Until the new engineer has fixed the site next month. If it ever happens I wonder these problems are going back to Christmas and you have to get through this month. And for the winner/runner up will be wondering are the going to get paid as no one has been paid for April. Anyway. Good Luck. John.
Hi Jason,
Same problem as Colin 11.00 winner yesterday not marked up.Harry
The wife said to me not much luck this month bottom of table. I replied one thing for sure I wont be involved in any arguments regarding the winner/runner up position this month. I shouted down to her I have slipped up on a bar of soap in the shower she shouted back that’s lifebuoy. John.
There have been 15 days in May and I have posted each day, unfortunately one hasn’t registered and it happens to be a 10.5 winner. I pointed it out last week but there hasn’t been any mention about it. Greg62 says that I wont get it, but come on, you can only win this competition with big priced winners but to have one dissallowed is not acceptable. I, along with others have said it’s only a bit of fun, but to serious enthusiasts, it’s serious fun. If I get assurance my 10.5 points will be added later that’s ok but if they are not I wont be happy. The selection is there for anybody to see so can I have an answer to my query, please, Jason.
The wife said yesterday I was unlucky I napped euro Charlene 29.0 yesterday caught near the line but I backed her at 20/1 e/w. which was good .The wife said I liked when you followed the horses on a regular basis. We would have the best Rhubarb, Also Vegetables and Roses in our garden in the Street. Those were the days I said Darling. John.
The wife said I know you don’t like fast food so she said I am cooking you French Food tonight . I said what is it .? She replied Escargot (Snails) . I said it sounds compatible with this site slow. John.
Colin
It wont make any difference. If your points dont register then they dont count .
I know its not right but thats the way Jason has decided to play it. Wrong i know but hey there you go. Well thats what i was told and i gave plenty of notice that 3 of mine never registered
You will also be told its only a game and to give Jason a break as its his money that hes paying out.
So what i suggest you do is get the prayer mat out and hope that all the players above you have points that dont register as well
All the best
Greg
Dear Jason,
It says at the top of web page monthly prizes £150 so the winner/runner up should be paid. I note December winners not paid. I know if one of the competitors objects to the winners it gives you a excuse not to pay out. But if there is a fault with the system you are responsible for that not the competitors . Thank You. John.
Morning Jason, not much correspondence on the site lately so you should have time to sort my Tuesday winner out, that hasn’t registered. I need 10.5pts adding to my score. Another suggestion regarding your super competition starting in June You should be deducting one point each time someone tips a winner as under betfair prices competitors are geting their stake back twice. For example if, in a 30 day month I tipped 30 winners at 1to 2 I would expect a profit of 15pts but with betfair prices I would get 45pts as I get my stake back and dont get charged for my stake in the first place. This is happening in the current competition and is obviously wrong.
Jason,During the time of this competition, today is the first time one of my selections has not registered. I am telling you now rather than the end of the month, so that you have plenty of time to sort it. Preferably sooner, rather than later.
This is about my eight or ninth attempt to reply and I have even asked Jason to look into why I cannot post to you CH. I will keep this brief in case it is something in the content of my mails that the site does not like. For the time being I will have to decline your offer, the reason should become clear once Jason sorts it out, but thank you for the invite.
Once sorted, there may be a raft of mails all similar which will make me look silly.
Mr T, where is my reply regarding Haydock on June 9th
Jealousy is a terrible thing it ruins everything it comes in contact with, DONT let it ruin this lovely game you will regret it!
MR T,
Maybe you are deluded to thinking you are in the A team or a wrestler. As far as I am concerned you are Mr t with a capital T T for trouble .Are you Jealous because you cant get into the first two in the league.? So you keep finding problems with peoples sites to annoy them which has nothing to do with you. There is a lot of white segments on peoples sites which players can not do anything about. It is a fault with the site. it is not rocket science. John.
Not that much can be done about it, but the frailties of the competition tend to surface when the leader tips 4 winners at 2/5,11/8,1/10 and1/4 and gets practically 8pts credited for his great tipping.
Jason
Considering you paid out last month and the month before that and the month before that and so on ,it seems only fair that you should pay out on 1st and 2nd as it stands and not include wins that have not been registered .
Dear Jason
We hear every month as far back as Christmas the site will be better next Month .I read a e-mail months ago saying shut the site down until it is fixed so the winner runner up has to suffer this nonsense every month. It is not the fault of the players it is the site at fault. You say you are reluctant to pay out. Pete and I are first and second past the post. You previously paid out on this to past winners. It is like asking someone to play cricket with a broken bat they cant win its not cricket. I would like to know what conclusion you have come to regarding paying out Pete and myself for April. As we have not heard any reply since April the 4th. Thank You. John.
I thought I was streetwise regarding racing, but can somebody explain to me what is Bsp and how does it differ from Sp.
Mr T, if you read this, are you interested in going to Haydock 9th june[Thursday evening]. I can get 2 tickets from racing UK.
Just noticed Ziltiod has found a couple. Better for competition.
Anybody wanting to win May competition will have to find a big priced winner as the leader is hanging on to what he’s got. He is tipping short priced favourites and hoping to hang on to his lead.This is his right obviously, but someone needs to find something to open the competition up.
Dear Jason, I have seen the three options concerning pay out. I think you should pay 1st most points also runner as you have been doing. Or maybe put it to a vote as there is approx. 100 contestants who have voices. MR T spends his time poking around peoples sites trying to find problems so they don’t get paid . EG My lil pony September winner MR T lodged a complaint against him saying he did not win also me know. If he is not working for Betinfo 24 .What has it got to do with him does anyone know.? April Pete !st most points me runner up.Thank You. John.
Hi Guys
This is exactly the reason why I am reluctant to pay out whilst the system is not working correctly, there are going to be unhappy people which ever way I go about it.
I have been paying out the 1st and 2nd according to the table, but as we all know, its not always accurate.
So my 3 options are:
1) Pay the winners that are showing 1st and 2nd
2) Pay the winners according to Mr T’s calculations which take into account unregistered results
3) give the money to charity
The good news is the new competition plugin will be ready to use after this month, so after May we will have a much better functioning comp with accurate results!!
Can’t wait for that!!
Jason
John,
As your winners are also in white it is not the systems fault if it ignores them along with the losers. After all, in your words the competition is only a bit of fun.
Dear Jason,
I would like to point out I have finished in second place .Two horses not registered on league site. Vincente-April 26th Ayr-23.0 -We are ninety-Chelmsford city 4pm April 25th points not registered 25.56 on these winners added to league figures 6.65 gives a total of 32.21.Which shows I am in 2nd place in league table. Thank You. John,
That’s an interesting scenario in the Naps League. The person in 3rd position mh2015, made his selection while the site was down ( in that it was showing all selections as ‘0’). His selection won which could have put him in 1st position. How will Jason address that?
Hi Jason,
Many Months ago .I read a post someone complaining about the decimals you said we have to use Betfair equipment. Another post was kick them in to touch. I apologise for the comment that you are funded by Betfair if it is untrue. I thought you were financially involved with them as you are using there equipment. The new site sounds good if it can provide the basics horses win/lose to register correct points also correct positions in league table like the football league table. So every one knows what position from day to day. As I have got points not registered the table shows I am in 13place in fact I am in1st place at present .Good Luck with the site. John.
Quick update guys, the new software is coming on well. So shouldn’t be too long before we implement the new comp. We will be thoroughly testing it out first though!!
In the meantime I can only apologise for unreliable results! It will be a great comp once we iron out the bugs! our new developer will ensure it all runs smoothly.
To answer some questions. yes we will be using BSP rather than the price at the time the horse is selected!
and yes, we will be putting a cap on prices, somewhere around 33/1
John, we are certainly not funded by Betfair
Jason
Jason,
When your new developer implements the new version will it still be calculated at BSP or will it be SP?. Also, will you be implementing the cut off at 33 pts as was discussed some time ago.
I have read the thoughts of our learned friend Keith. If you don’t like the competition don’t join it .Which might be good advice for people who are about to join. But for the people who have been it for months it is like saying shut the gate after the horse has bolted. This site is funded by bookmakers adverts also Betfair. By reading the e-mails the points not registered which has lead to arguments among players also players who have not been paid. When the site is fixed I cant see Jason paying out twice. I know some bookmakers pay out first past the post and pay out if there is a amended result. If I had finished in the first two last month I would have had the same problem with points not registered.Yesterday winning nap 23.0 not registered.I look at it as a bit of fun but to other people a competition is a competition. John.
Harry Gee 61,
Had Vincente at 20/1 also Vivaldi Collognes at 5/2 lucky 15 double .The e/w shot got pulled up but still made a nice little profit. Don’t know when Youknowwhatimeanharry is racing again but will let you know. Good Luck. John.
Harry Gee
Hi Harry,
Ayr National I have put up Vincente in tipping league also in lucky 15 and a outsider £2-50p e/w Straidnahanna at 40/1 best odds paddy power happy hour this morning 5 places pay out. Good Luck. John.
Greg, As I have said, I can not amend the points, I am not a programer and until the new developer releases the new version there isn’t much I can do.
This is the reason I was reluctant to pay out because results are not fair at present.
But I’ve paid out from the league standings! If I didn’t pay out I would get a load of grief
Im sorry if results were not quite right and if you feel you should have been paid out instead. Once the new version is released we won’t have this problem
Regards
Jason
Hi Jason could you check the points again for March as i do believe that i came 2nd with 78.27 points
Many thanks
Greg62
My Lii Pony
Ive just looked and you only got 74.58 and thats including a 38 which really should only be counted as 33 (max points allowed ) i think and as i got 78.27 i do believe that that is more than you got
Greg62
Come on guys this is a FREE comp and Jason is paying this out of his own pocket !!! Give the guy a break !! If you don’t like it DONT join
March Results
1st = Captain Beaky £100
2nd = My lil pony £50
Prize money has been paid out
Hi,
Anyone got any good information for The Scottish National tomorrow. See Barry Geraghty is at Ayr today to ride one of J P Mcmanus horses (Full Shift) could be a tip in itself?. I also fancy Valyssa Monterg 4.45. Harry.
Greg
I havn’t received any emails from you!!
As I keep saying, yes the system has glitches which I am not able to fix as I am not a developer!!
Results are not exactly accurate but I will still pay out 1st and 2nd. March winners will be paid out today! Please remember this is just a bit of fun.
We have a new developer working on a new version right now, so hopefully in a couple of weeks it will be launched and the league standings will be accurate! and prize money can be paid out fairly.
Please remember it’s a free competition that I am paying for out of my own pocket for the benefit of you guys! £150 per month prize money over 12 months is £1800 then I’ve got to pay over £1200 for the new software to be built then I’ve got to pay for the developer to keep tabs on everything and to be on hand to change any incorrect results.
It all adds up!
Im sorry that some people feel it has been an inconvenience but I assure you that we are working to make this a great competition, and once the bugs are ironed we will hopefully get more people joining in and prize money will be paid on a set date every month!
I’ll keep you updated
Jason
STILL NO RESPONSE FROM JASON !
Jason
You say that you will respond to all queries within 24hrs. Well ive contacted you on numerous occasions now with no response.
Can you tell us what is going on with the prize money From March and December.
You have taken time to tell us about someone new starting for you, working out the prices and so on, but are ignoring E-mails that are sent to you.Why?
Greg
Quick update guys
I have sourced a new developer and he is completely re-developing the Tipping Comp to iron out the glitches, once it is done he will also be on hand if there are any incorrect results. Hopefully we should have the app ready in a few weeks. Once the new app is launched we can start to work on creating other comps and league tables and venture into football and other sports 🙂
Jason
ARE YOU STILL ALIVE JASON?
Went to post Ten Trees but too late so had to put a rubbish one in and cross my fingers.
Hi Harry,
Well done you had a good National Day also top of the nap league and to get the National winner as well is some feat also get placed horses in race is Fantastic tipping. I had no luck myself. All the best. John.
Hi John,

Harry Gee,
Hi Harry. Seen your tips for National. They are certainly good prices lets hope we can get one placed between your four choices and my two if not the winner between us. Good Luck for Saturday. John.
Hi, Harry, Backed two this morning William Hill-Silviniaco conti at 12/1 £5 e/w. But the one I like is the 11year old Boston Bob Three time grade 1 winner. Fell when leading in the Cheltenham gold cup two years ago unlucky.Got 10-10 weight for national also 11 year olds have a good record in this race. I have had £5e/w at double carpet (33/1) .The irish champion trainer Willy Mullins Also Ruby Walsh the jockey won it in 2000 papion and been placed a lot of times in this race which is a plus. That’s my verdict on the wagers.It is a race where anything can happen as every one knows. What are your tips.? Good Luck. John.
Hi Greg,
Well done 2nd you are in the prize money .I finished with 48.26 points I think that is fourth place .I am happy with that. Good Luck. John.
Hi John
Yes im The same 3 winners that have not been counted which total 28.15 if you add that to my score i do believe that ive come 2nd
Greg62
Greg 62,
I have placed 29 naps but it shows 26 on league table because 3 winners not registered on league table but you do not lose any points only on losers .The 3 winners that that have not been registered in points 21.06 total with registered winners is 50.26. I guess you must be near top of league as you have winners not registered.? Into the last two days of this month. Good Luck. John.
Colin , Rejaah was the one you have been looking for 25/1, what a winner!
Hi Harry,
Exeter won 5/1 to 7/2 Cheltenham 25/1 to 11/1 who says Lighting don’t strike twice. a lot of punters were on. my sister had £2.50p e/w at 25/1 total £80 .As a matter of fact uknow what I mean has won six times.Old saying back a horse on a roll until it loses .I think the next port of call could be Aintree national week but he will be a skinny price.If he runs I will be on again. C-MON – ARRY. Good Luck. John.
Well done to Captain Beaky.Had a great month, hope he is flying his aeroplane or sailing his ship next month.
17:00h Carl Long Run (FR)
I think there is still gremlins in the system. Nothing has improved from last month. I should have 39 winning naps it is showing 34 winning naps. This month I am two winning naps short . Presenting arms 3.70- youknowwhatimeanharry 15.0 total points short 18.70. The leader of the league table is not correct. I have sent Jason e-mails but no reply which tells me there is no one available to rectify the web site problems. I suspect there is other players with the same problems. John.
Having Belmont as a selected comp/tip and wishing to change it to snowed under ,it wont do it and it says I must be logged in, which of course I am, BUT it will allow me to select and log in any other horse in the race , is that not weird!!
Snowed In 4-30 Carl
Hi Sandra, you seemed to have this site to yourself until the Unowhatimeanharry gang got chirping in. That race cost me about £800 as I had a £10 treble on two 11/4s and Barter Hill at 9/2. Did you get the Cheltenham preview I sent you cos you should have made a few quid if you studied it. No sour grapes to John and Harry. Well done, you’ve been on about it since it last won.
John.
Go collect. Unowhatimeanharry…Payed for my cheltenham. Harry.

Colin what is the odds of picking FRT racing tip out of all the hundreds of runners on a sat , that is some odds !!!
So that has told you Colin
Sandra, i’ve just realised why you can’t find any winners. You get up at silly o’clock and your brain is still tired. You should be in bed until 9-30, have a relaxing breakfast and then go get the Racing Post. Then you sit down and have a look at all the betting and then decide on your strategy for the challenge ahead.Instead you look at little earner and all the tipsters who know nothing[except Hugh Taylor] and get all confused.

Hi Harry Gee,
Did you write the e-mail in invisible writing or was it a illusion yesterday .Anyway it is only a bit of fun also conversation to be friendly.I know people take it serious but not me for prize money of £100-£50 . A poultry sum. Anway if you don’t want to converse that’s ok with me. Or you haven’t got a sense of humour.John.

I know lord Lucan disappeared but also Reggie Perrin went able from sunshine desserts your nap might be in there.? Left his kit on the beach and swam away over the horizon.
Day 1 and already it appears that the system is in trouble
I posted my nap yesterday and then posted it again today at a better price and what do you know its done a Lord Lucan and disappeared ok it was only Volunteer Point and i only got 1.46 for it, but at the end of the day a winner is a winner
Maybe it will reappear later but im not holding my breath
Sandra, your anniversarrie could be due soon as she’s been for a wind operation today.
Colin did you bet your name sake, a gift @ 2/1
Hi Harry Gee,
Did you read my e-mail 28th February concerning Gosport.Portsmouth the navy bases it was half way down the page. It was a just a bit of conversation. March today a couple of weeks to Cheltenham .I will be watching ch4 and having a bet for the four days.Good Luck with this months naps. John.

Hi Harry Gee,

I see by the post the golden eagle excreted I bet you were hoping he had diarrhoea and a delivery by pigeon post great. You were right about Quasser beating Amanto four races ago also 2nd tonight.These two horses are smart in there grade 5 also 4 otherwise the the top trainers would not keep them in training p Nicholls etc .Uknowwhatimean has improved with every race now a grade 2 winner next race acid test grade 1. if it stays soft must have a chance.The wife said to me have you a measure .?

I have nothing against Dailywinner but I hope he doesn’t finish in the prize money[top two] as he is only using someone else’s tips. The competition is meant to be a bit of fun using your own pickings.

Joke it should be spelt hair. John.
Harry gee,
Good news you got your money for January. I still think it will be a palaver at the end of this month as some players winning naps are not registered on league site. I have 2 winners not registered so far I don’t know how many more with the same problem. March 17th Cheltenham one thing for certain the Guinness tent will be busy hope you have some winners.As you are coming as leprechauns .Don’t tell Ken Dodd the diddy men will be there. The wife said you would need a magician to pull the winners I said they can pull rabbits out of there hats. I said to her I knew a man who went greyhound racing he could pula hare out of his a–e. The craic is good. Happy Days. John.
Guys
I am happy to pay out Januarys winners if you are happy with the final standings??

My 2 winners are 9th Feb CLAUDE GREENWOOD 12.0 on the EXC and 13th Feb SCOTTISCHE at 21,0 on the EXC
If no one else has got horses that have won and not put up then this should put me in in 2nd place if my sums are correct

I see Jason answered your question why no one has been paid out. Inproper Results Dec/Jan .I notice no one has made any remarks about not been paid out. Have they walked away with there tails between there legs.? Incidentally have you asked Jason why these two winners have not been registered on site that you claim.I t is best to keep site up to date then everyone knows where they are in league. Especially at the end of the month. To stop confusion/arguments. John.

It looks like the golden eagle wont be excreting for a while. Due to the perpetrators who have been tinkering with the nap results. Why don’t they come forward and put there hands up. Anyone else who win or runner up will be thinking if they are going to be paid. After all it is only a bit of fun. Not playing for a £1,000000. John.
14:35h Sthl Tombe Girl
I admire the tipping skills of Ian, John and Franny but i’m afraid this competition is only won by tipping outsiders. You three might be one, two and three if it was SP but you get a bonus of about six if you can find an outsider. If you want to catch Graham you will have to spread your wings a bit wider.
Guys, I understand your frustrations!
I know the comp still has glitches and I know that some days results have not been recorded. The problem I have is that I have no idea about programming, therefore I can’t make amendments and fix the glitches.
The guy that kindly offered to build the comp for us no longer has time to work on it due to other work commitments. Therefore I’ve got to find somebody to employ who knows what they are doing!
We need somebody with skills that include Java, Javascript, MongoDB, Ajax, etc… and also has an idea about betting!
This will take time and money
Please remember that this comp is free and is a bit of fun, but I do have plans to make it much better and expand it to other sports and types of bets. We just need to find the right person to develop and manage the comp on a daily basis.

15:15h Warw Saint John Henry (FR)
Harry,
Your December/January prize money you won fair & square. Maybe there is a stewards enquiry into other activity on site . EG. placing naps after race to gain winning advantage over other players .Jason mentioned last month about after race activity in one of his e-mails .I hope they have not killed the goose that lays the golden eggs be no eggs at Easter. John.

Well done Graham, nice to see you back in business. Can’t get going this month. I’ve been a bit unlucky with a couple, but you can only post one. If you sort 5 winners and 1 loser and post the loser you can’t do much about it, so you have to be a bit lucky sometimes.Getting a bit worried that things aren’t as they should be. I’m not sure December’s competition has been finalised and I haven’t heard anything about January’s winnings.Fingers crossed.

MR T,
It is all very well to say give betfair a kick but you could be biting the hand that feeds you as they are funding the site also other bookies as well the site needs fine tuning/tweeking like voilon strings and fiddles. john.
Anniversary good chance but darent post.
i placed a winning nap yday–bosham at 8.2 odds cfd for the 6:40 race -this was not recorded under simplysmartbets-

You really are going to have to give Betfair a kick before you lose more members. According to the table, if you set the parameters to yesterday only, nobody made a selection and I think the same is happening today.

Every clock is geared to gmt computors etc. The person in question race time was on the hour no nap was placed five minutes after race nap appeared in red but was a winner I checked and credited to this person after race time. The rules state before race time or on race time not after race. Which is common sense .Mr T You would need a shed load of computors to monitor every player and about 100 men to watch when they place naps at different times not practical but it has opened avenues for the voilon players.I hope you have some winners book in to the Hilton hotel much better then the retirement home beds and a bottle of wine in room. john.
Who does John King keep talking about. I hope it’s not me as I know nothing about computers and quite capable of keeping my head above water without wanting to cheat. Surely anybody who is fiddling should be barred for life.I know I don’t post till late, but I have to see the betting before I post.
I think Jason should do away with prize money and present the winner with a used Stradivari voilon (new one very expensive) the crème-de-la-crème of fiddles also the winner could make a few extra quid busking with it .(old saying) many a good tune played on an old fiddle. John.

I know the wife has booked my bed in the local retirement home because of my memory [ joking ] but I have no idea what John King is telling me. I do not check what people are napping all the time but I have not noticed anything suspicious with today’s naps.
MR T,
I think it is a make up your own rules site.There are certain voilon players on this site known in other circles as (fiddlers)athe rules state your nap has to be placed before race card timeor on racecard time not after off time naps should be void same as betting shop rules.Also people using a couple of e-mail addresses to gain nap advantages. I sent the above statements to Jason a while ago he said he is aware of after race time activity but done nothing about it.The name johnbetking is nothing to do with me on nap site.There are a lot of statements/ideas on discuss page from napsters I hope Jason replies to them.John.

Hi Jason, Everybody knows by now that the only way to win this competition is by tipping silly outsiders that might pop in at silly prices. All the previous competitions have been won this way. A lot of serious players have advokated SP but you say it’s too awkward. Well here’s another idea I would like you to try for February. Select one difficult handicap each day and we have to sellect the winner.Do it at SP and everybody gets the same price. The winner has to find the winner at least 5 times in the month to qualify and the league table isn’t shown until next day.[ Then nobody knows who’s tipping what]. Anybody interested.It would be nice just to concentrate on one race’ and would find a good tipster.

I have still not been credited for my nap on Jan 1st

My horse was Aguerooo Bsp @ 3.85
somebody explain please?
Well done to Waynecurtis (brilliant tipping) I just had a tenner on his nap and my nap for a great double. Just at sp but cant complain at 9/4 and 14/1.
Mr T.
I think if you move away from computer for a few minutes to make tea etc you can miss the best price.I think you are right you have to keep your eye on the ball to observe price movements and be glued to the computer. I managed to get 2.56 on value at risk but unfortunately fell at 2nd fence the bubble burst from 3 winners in a row luck run out for 4 timer today that’s racing Thank you for your replies. John.

I napped stars at night on Monday evening at 2.34. Today the price got bigger to 2.46 so I restated my tip to 2.46 I looked at wayne Curtis nap same nap as me price 2.46 up until off time 2-00 lingfield the horse won but his return price was bigger 2.66 mine 2,46 there was no movement in price before the off.Is there prices in running after the off. John.

Surely this is another reason to change to SPs.
9 times out of 10 i do my horse the night before and a rank outsider as been as low as 4.1 when ive done it but gone off at 69.1
At least with SPs everyones on a level playing field
I know there was a vote for a change to SPs or keep as is and i thought that the SPs won it
Greg
Something doesn’t appear to be right with Waynecurtis’s tipping as the last four days have shown remarkable winning tips of 6/1,4/1,9/1 and 16/1 for which he has been credited with 3.5, 3.00, 1.16 and 2.56. I don’t know about previous days but I can only assume he is posting in running which can’t be right. Answers please.

Morning John King, welcome to December. Hope we can both put yesterday behind us and hope for the best this month. Only thing that narked me was you stating my inability to find winners. I have to admit i’ve been rubbish these last two months but I have lost interest with these fancy betfair prices spoiling things. You probably don’t know but I have won this competition once and been runner-up twice so until you can better that don’t knock me. I promise I will make a better effort this month and try my best to show a bigger profit than you. all in the best of friendly rivalry. Cheer Colin.
210 wolves. Lean On Pete. Mine for 1st Dec.
Colin, John & Graham,
To clear this up I sent an e mail to PP asking if I went into their shop & placed a Lucky 15, would they pay me out three times the odds if I only had one winner.
Their response is yes they would but this only applies to retail bets, bets placed over the phone or online do not qualify for this
Graham coming thick and fast I don’t know what woki ng has to do with this betting as all the big bookies are nationwide and have shops in every town the big4 .They will only pay a bonus minium 4 wnners L15 .Paddy power do not pay any bonus on L15/31/63. Paddy power suits my needs good offers paying 5 places on races etc .There are so many people on this site hiding behind alias also false e-mail addresses But that is life I use my real name and e-mail address.What I put on this site is to help not to cause arguments and a bit of fun. John.
###BLAST FROM THE PAST###
hi ya first time i kooked at page since started nice to see you all getting along !!!
to throw my experience in to the equation last friday at wolver ONLINE (not woking) 3out of 4 lucky (very)15 10p e/w
temple road sp 25/1 -ad vitam sp 22/1 -heila’s buddy sp 8/1
paddy power £663.93/ both stan james/bet365 £859.61 / bet vic £944.72.
same bet with all four only ppower paid the basic payout the others had BOG+bonuses.
and yes that was the reason for replying just to shout out my luck,not that it happens that often !!!!
Colin. You have gone round the block with this argument .I have never ever mentioned telephone betting or internet. If you read my e-mails it says paddy power shop betting once again 3times the odds lucky 15 one winner same betfred.Rather then argue check it. When you write a statement it has to be correct otherwise I will look an idiot in front of everyone that reads the e-mails There was no one ever born that knows everything and I certainly don’t .There is no financial gain in it for me just trying to get fellow punters better deals.John.
Toys out of pram. Ha Ha
Poncey bankers in woking not that I know of glad there not fantasy wankers .john.
Dear Colin Maybe you want to get your facts correct then you wont have to come to woking to bet .Paddy power nationwide also Ireland .There Freephone number is 0800 565 275 if you cant understand simple English also there deals are on lineThere is a old saying if a tradesman cant do a job he blames his tools a punter who cant back awinner he blames the bookie also to be conscious of ones ignorance is a great step to knowledge.In my experience I find paddy power one of the best bookies.for deals my opinion only.Latest happy hours best odds 11am to 1-00 everyday.John.
12:55h Wolv Nolecce
Dear Colin.I don’t understand how you got caught out with paddy power if you go in the shop they will tellyou the rules also there offers 3 times 1 winner L 15 I go in the woking shop every weekend forlast 2 years and been paid 3 times the odds(woking shop) L15. There is a lot of people read this site you want to make sure what you write is correct. What you wrote above is nonsense.Hills pay L15 ldouble odds/Ladbrokes/corals betfred 3 times (woking Shop) also L15/31/63 bonus .I post these offers for punters on this site to get the best deals as it is hard to get winners.Maybe your bookmaker is on another planet. I live in the real world. John.
To anybody that is interested I napped alibi de sivola 12-50 Carlisle last night at1.91 approx. 10/11 I again backed in paddy power happy hour 11-30 to 12-30 igot 7/4 best odds guaranteed it won at 5/2 which I got.Betfair undercut prices on fancied horses but outsiders the sky is the limit.Paddy power 3 times the odds 1 winner lucky 15 also best odds morning and evening race cards guaranteed.If you can get the winners it all helps also a bit of banter and a laugh.Makes it enjoyable. good luck John King.

Yes Jason. I think your ideas are on a level playing field . As colin says picking outsiders that lose everyday can be soul destroying hoping for a miracle. I like to study form and when they win you feel satisfied rather then going the pinnstickers guide that the once a year punters use to pick the grand national winner. Good luck. John.
I agree John, and the overall winner after 6 months will not necessarily get their own tipping service as I will have to analyse the overall results because as you say, if the winner has just landed the odd 95/1 shot a couple of times, it won’t make for a good service!
So I will be taking into account P+L, SR and consistency!! We are looking for a genuine tipster.
Also, more than 1 person may get a shot at their own service too 😉
Ill stick with a gosden treble
3-35 Southwell Best Tamayuz
I vote yes but still maintain this completion is a game of chance a lottery no skill attached to picking big price winners as 99per cent are no hopers sticking a pin in the racecard and hoping for a big winner.For people who study form to get winners at short prices on a regular basis it can be annoying.The overall winner in six months time will have his site but would you subscribe to a tipster with a couple a winners a month and 28 losers a loss for certain further more do you risk your money at the bookies on these long shot naps .? I guess not. I would like to hear the views of the genuine napsters. who live in the real world.John King.
yes
yes
Can we have a vote please guys, just a yes or a no
Are you in favour of capping the BSP at 33/1 to prevent huge winners being landed?
(So if your horse wins at 60.00 it will automatically go down as 33/1)
In the last month I have backed the 16 year old claiming jockey 8/1 14/1 yesterday 6.2 today 100/30 harry cobden he can ride a horse and knows where the winning post is one to follow as he is still claiming 5lb for those interested in the sport also the gambling side. john king.

Hi guys,
Is it working for you now? I have just selected NAP no problem, prices showing!
Also, is there anybody that disagree’s with setting a 33/1 price cap on winners??
Can’t pick nap for today program not allowing me to pick selection . No prices showing on race cards .
Hi Jason, I will agree that capping prices at 33/1 or SP whichever is highest would be a good idea and could be worth a try ., I would come back on those terms. Last month’s winner did tip a 50/1 shot so he would get 50pts if he could do it again..If you are going to change post it sometime.Nearly forgot, your idea of the person with the best strike rate winning is no good as a person could tip long odds on shots every day to get the best strike rate,
Hi Jason don’t seem to be able to post any naps, not even any prices coming up

Colin, John and everybody else on here……
Firstly, I understand that the comp has not run completely smoothly and this has to be expected, I did say from the very start that we will run into a few glitches, but we have been sorting them out and the comp is getting better.
Colin, Im sorry you feel that Im wrecking the comp but please be aware that we have put a lot of time and effort into this to bring you guys a better and bigger competition.
It wasn’t fair that somebody had to do it all manually before. We are trying to improve all the time and we feel an automated comp is better in the long run.
I know there have been issues where winners have not been recorded and sometimes winners were given wrongly, but we are ironing these problems out!
I am also very aware of the fact that some people are just getting lucky with a huge winner at BSP and winning the comp, which I personally don’t think is fair, so I am also looking at ways to prevent this.
Problem is, it’s easy for people to say ‘just use SP instead on BSP’ but it’s not quite so easy. Our software uses the Betfair API to gather results! we can’t use a bookmakers API, so we have to use Betfair.
Now here are some suggestions which we feel may help and we would appreciate your feedback….
1) Split prizes between the P+L points winner and the ‘Strike rate’ winner
2) We could introduce an artificial price cap, so any horse returning above 33/1 would get reduced to 33/1 (Or whatever price we agreed) This would prevent 72/1, 95/1 winners etc… which wipes everybody else out of the comp.
Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions and please be patient! We will get there
Also, if you spot any incorect results, just drop me an email and we’ll investigate them.
How has everybody found it this month?

Dear Jason.
This decimal betting from e/e to 20/1 by betfair seems to be shorter then the other bookies odds above 20/1 the sky is the limit if you are betting on horses with little hope of winning like last months winner a 65/1 nap I would say that’s a flash in the pan. But it won the league table which makes it very difficult for the rest to compete .I nap horses that have a realistic chance of winning.John King

Jason,
My nap has not been recorded as a winner on October 20th.
Jason, can’t you see that you are killing this competition. Nobody is interested. If it wasn’t for Jarold there wouldn’t be any comments at all. Loads used to comment regularly, but they have all vanished and they wont come back unless you alter the set up. Namely kick betfair prices into touch and revert to SP.

Wow what is going on with this site it just doesnt seem to be working very well does it?
Horses win then its taken off the next day, surely it would be better as a few others have said and restart it with the points awarded on the SP only.
The way it is, its turning out to be a bit of a joke . People being awarded winners when they havent won ect
The competition can only really be won by picking a massive outsider with luck

Jason,
May I make some constructive criticism about the Nap Table. Please suspend it until you can sort out the discrepancies regarding the recording of the results. We have one player who has suddenly appeared amongst the leaders who has not selected a winner this month but is showing as having one winner.
We have another player who has had 23 naps but we are only on the 20th !!!!.
There are players whose naps have lost but the selection is showing in white and has been classed as a winner.
There is at least one player playing under two names.
The September winner in my opinion was wrongly declared.
It may be better if you paid somebody to do it manually at SP prices as I feel your present way of settling is letting a good idea down badly.

A good tip for everybody. You can only win this competition by tipping outsiders. Fancied horses are no good to you. I will probably retire after this month.

This is the last time I will be complaining about this competition but I am trying to explain why it ought to be sp as against betfair. As Paul says it’s the same for everybody,but I don’t agree because it doesn’t suit the keener element like it does the happy go lucky type of person.In an imaginary competition in Oct tipster A might give 20 winners averaging 2/1 along with 11 losers. At the end his points would be about 55. Tipster B tips 30 losers and 1 winner at 33/1. This could pay 98/1[like Paul’s did in Aug] so he ends up with 65 points and wins the competition, but come on who’s the best tipster. If you tip a horse less than 5/1 that’s the odds you’ll get but if you tip a 20/1 you could get any silly odds. It suits me in that I can show a profit every month under the current rules but I still say it’s not a level playing field.
Jason, You asked me for my e-mail address[which I suppose you have] so you could give me the £50. I was on holiday at the time, but I sent it to you as soon as I got back. If there is a problem, send me another e-mail and I’ll take it from there. Cheers Colin.
Hi Jason This comp is brill as it is same for everyone and FREE keep it same.
Hi Jason, i am annoyed at the faults so far on this competition, it gives false points readings, unfair price returns on selections, and on non runners, i thought i was in 2nd place, but no, and now a new leader/winner from no where, please can you make sure that the facts are correct on here for everyone, it is a nice comp to enter, just want it to be fair,
Many thank,
Meachies.

I hope, but somehow don’t expect it, that official starting prices less any rule 4’s will be the order of the day from tomrrow. It’s not sour grapes or anything, but both competitions so far have been won by the winner tipping a horse that paid a silly price on betfair.
Will compete anyway and hope last month’s winners have better luck at getting paid than I did last month,

What is happening to the Naps League?
We still have the problem with Meachies who has been awarded a winner when the selection lost & we now have Barrowchris1 who has somehow been given an extra 8 points!!!
Also, my selection from August 31st is sitting on the fence, it has not been declared a winner or a loser.

*** We understand there maybe a problem with selecting your NAP. We currently use the Betfair API and they have restricted our access to their systems. This is something we are looking to resolve a.s.a.p. In the meantime the NAP comp may not be running as smoothly as it should. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Morning Jason, you said you might get teething troubles to start with, but the spate of non runners are turning your competition into a farce. People are tipping the same horse and being credited with different amounts. Hugh Taylors tip yesterday was apparently about 12/1 early yesterday , but the short priced favourite was taken out and it started about 11/4. To credit people with about 14 points is ludicrous. You are supposedly looking for the best tipster so there should be a level playing field where everyone’s return is what they would receive from a betting shop for their pound. ie Starting price less any rule 4. In my opinion you should start this in October.Another point is non runners. I had one on Monday and was deducted one point. No doubt others have suffered the same and finally I haven’t seen my £50 for August yet.

Said yesterday that I liked nurseries and said what I had done after they had won so i’ll mention before racing that they look tricky today. In the 1-55 at donny Nemoralia won eased down and Alpine Dream[Hugh Taylors tip] won after being slowly away but the two I like are Unlit and Lavinia Rose in that order. The two at Chepstow involve bad horses but something will win and I would be tempted[only just] with Valiant Faith in the 2-50 and in the 3-25 Senza Una Donna has a decent chance.

To Mr T, Hi there I know I haven’t corresponded much with you before but I have been away this week and the wifi was hopeless where I was. I missed a couple of days altogether and was very limited with the two I posted. I wont be back on song until Monday as i’m away until then in Lancashire.But Mr T mark my words there will be something drastically wrong if I dont climb up that league.I’m only an ordinary bloke but I know enough about racing to keep my head above water as I proved last month. I have made a start today.Cheers Colin.

Did well today 100 -1 Arabian queen took early price
jumped in early today due to one thing and another. If I had waited, I would have gone for Dance King in this 4 o clock
Checked closing time for 2-15 and 2-30 and could have backed in running [ at in running price] so I don’t know what to think about yesterday when I was a bit peed off to say the least.
Hi folks first time tipping on this site hopefully all goes well and i never nap odds on shots always nice decent value naps, the ones you only need one to win and that’s the week payed for so to get 2,3or 4 winners in the week and it’s profit for the whole month and I’m aiming for at the very least 2-3 winners every week at decent prices.
Well that’s me said my bit GOOD LUCK ? AND HAPPY PUNTING PEOPLE ?
17-40 closed. none in stalls. Would have taken Yare Hill
when is the closing time for posting one’s nap. i wanted to post Gavarnie encore when there were about 8 to go in the stalls but i couldn’t post.
Not only have I not been able to select another nap it has also put my void nap down as a loosing bet ????
My nap was void earlier today but the system won’t allow me to pick another horse.
????
Colin laptop broken, cant email but can receive , sorry all the best for the comp, go for it, you can do it , your good with big price winners , Sandra xx
Colin—YOU made my day, I do miss your special hummer , your tips should now be winners as I cant bet on them , but you do deserve all the luck in the world, missed you Sandra xx
Wow!! Great NAP today from Paul Hindmarsh. Massive odds of 95.00
That’s going to take some catching!
But please remember guys, we are adding 3 month, 6 month and 12 month totals so keep your discipline!
Soon we will be able to see everyone tips and past results
Got sorted now and coping ok.Sandra and Graham I do miss you two for your snidy[is that a proper word] comments. This competition suits me fine as I don’t have to rush around like a blue arsed fly in the morning and I can post when I want and when I wish.At the last count there were about 235 posters but I have every confidence in myself not being far away at the end of the month. If Graham offered me 50/1 I would snap his hand off.

at least it was 12/1 when i backed it this morning .fingers crossed !!
i agee with steve, miss the banter too
Morning ?
When will you be adding the new features ? slightly frustrating seeing joe blogs nap 5 wins out of 5 ” no profit / loss or showing there’s or his selections next to there name. Allowing others to follow if they desire. Some people may be napping 1/3 shots whilst somebody may be banging in 5/1 and 10/1 winners
– would just be great see other tipsters selections next to there name… Good luck to all those taking part ?
I know it’s a free competition but I would like to take part but the system just won’t let me it keeps on telling me I am not logged in when I am so come on betinfo24 please help.
Hi Jason,
My horse Thursday was a non runner but is still showing as a loss on the table.
carnt seem to post nap not logged in?
Keep selecting a nap but the system is telling me I must be logged in to pick my nap but I am logged in
why dont you put irish racing up as well
There are no horses or meetings showing up and the league table isn’t there!
Danny
Good morning, guys,
I’m just back on holidays
Good luck
Having a slight problem selecting this morning. Chose Hot Mustard at Sandown but system kept responding ‘must be logged in to NAP’ but I was logged in. I was able to select a different horse at a different meeting tho?!?
Well done Colin, not a winner but at least you have mastered how to place a bet on the new system. Sandra & Graham will be glad their partner has not given up.
i mean there are a lot of stuff from 2014 under a few headings,
make it easy for a oid man like me
where can i find the tips from the competition? too much old stuff on your page
does any one has any fancies for windsor racing….?New to this site hope you members dont mind sharing…thanks
I just keep hitting a brick wall,so I’ll just have to forget about it.
Had a winner today but I’m not on the league table?
Hi
I had Napped Arcanada in 2.10 but has not come up. It said it was fine. I done it on mobile phone. Not sure if this is reason. I have done another but is mobile been an issue
Lltfoa67
I have given 2 naps and both have won but you have got me down as only 1 nap. I picked balmoral castle on friday night when at odds of 13/1 .
Is there a way of finding what everybody has napped ?
If you change ur mind and select another nap later in the day does it automatically cancel the first choice ?
My bet couldn’t be placed but I wrote it on blog so what happened ???? Won’t let people enter nap ??????
Is there any way of checking your nap cos I posted last night then changed my mind today. I reposted another nap which won but the table shows me at a loss. Surely it would be good if the site showed the tips daily so we know it has been selected.
posted my nap last night 220 thirsk ASTLEY HALL cannot see it on the league standings??

I’m going for a big one today. Artic Feeling is a former class 1 winner, it may have been back in 2010 but he’s to only class 1 winner in the race and I think at a price of 60/1 he’s worth a go
Your nap comp registration keeps telling me my email address is wrong! It’s the email address you use to mail me.
New page won’t let me post my nap for today
Never entered this comp before looking forward to see how I can do
NAPs posted on here will not count

Fast track 2.00 goodwood NAP
Couldn’t post to the old page, so today’s tips produced just 1 winner from Gino @ 9/4, well done mate.
That leaves the winners as:
1st Graham +23.75pts
2nd Jarold +8.11pts
I’ve emailed the result to Jason.
Good luck to all with the new comp, will be able to have a go myself as well.
Rules:
– 1 Entry per person only
– Select just 1 NAP per day
– NAPs maybe changed up until the race
– NAPs are win only
– Losing NAPs deduct -1pt
– ‘No NAP’ has no affect on your overall points.
– Prices are calculated to BSP
– You MUST make at least 15 NAPs during a given month to be eligible for prizes.
As this is the first month of using the new software there are bound to be a few bugs and issues that arise. If you spot anything or have any concerns just drop us an email to let us
Good luck!
Jason
