Only a couple of dog shyte all-weather meetings, and keeping powder dry for first meeting at Cheltenham tomorrow, but a couple of smallish bets at Leafy.

Lingfield:

3:50 Johannesburg Cat 1pt win
4:20 Kabeer 2pts e/w
4:50 My Princess 2pts e/w

Total: +43.45pts

Big outlay today at HQ, but I like a few of these and sure the winner of the second will come from between these 2. Whilst Ofarel d'Airy & Gungadu have the potential to be very smart.

Betting £480 today...could do with some racing luck!!

A huge day! Cannot believeAreyoutalkingtome was allowed to go off at 33/1. That's the kind of value you can only dream about, and in hindsight I should have had more on, can't complain though. Really got me out of a hole, because all of my other strong fancies let me down.

Spectacular performance, Hwjb! Congrats.

Nice job on the record-keeping, too.

--Dunbar

Cheers Dunbar...hopefully can keep on going in similar vein at the BC and then throughout the jumps season!!

Got ****y, some really childish bets there. I'm still very susceptible to putting too much on to horses I'm not at all 100% sure about after I've enjoyed a big success, one of the worst aspects of my game!

Successful night. Ouija Board the emotional winner. Sleeping Indian slightly frustrating, although would never have beaten the winner. Also thought for a second that BTN might get past Red Rocks, but no complaints as Brian Meehan is a thoroughly decent guy.
