Well done Fred. You are doing a great job with these nags. I am going to place £4000 on Night Crescendo. virtual as usual, and want to know what my winnings were for Gypsy George please.

£150,000 + your £40,000 stake back , less betting tax.

Two races in a week?? I'll have a virtual bet again then as she did well last time! Another £10,000 I think

Ooh..well done Ratty!

*Yes, well done to you too Fred! Much appreciated*

Will Barrys Ark sink without trace?

(sorry, couldn't resist the pun...)

Barrys Ark came third at 25-1. Not at all bad!

Yes not bad Barry, the race was won by one of our musicals, CODA AGENCY at 9-2, and we had another winner in CLASSIC FIDDLE at 4-1. Newcastle meeting was abandoned, so two of our runners never ran..
The other forumite horse JILLY WHY started 4-1 fav but only managed eighth.

Not a lot today:-

ROYAL ENCORE (Wolverhampton 16.10) 3-1 fav
MIKADO MELODY (Folkestone 14.30) 9-2

MIKADO (Wolverhampton 15.40) outsider

One 'Moderator Horse' for EdStJ THIS ONES FOR EDDY (Wolverhampton 16.40) 10-1

I think that I'll place a virtual £6000 on Jubilant Note today.

JUBILANT NOTE came second at 8-1, bad luck Petra (unless it was an each-way bet). ROYAL ENCORE was also second at 4-1 fav.Todays musicals:-

SONG SUNG BLUE (Hereford 15.40) 5-2 fav
BAHAMIAN BALLAD (Southwell 12.20) 8-1

OLTVA stable:- I CERTAINLY MAY (Lingfield 12.30) outsider

Forumites:- WHAT KATY DID (Lingfield 13.30) 2-1 fav
BEN (Southwell 12.50) 16-1

I believe that it was.


And today's virtual bet will be an each-way 0f £2000 on Song Sung Blue and another of £5000 on Magical Song.

Only one left to run, and complete failure from all horses today. SONG SUNG BLUE is just running now...

My virtual bet today goes on Barbers Shop who is running ar Sandown Park, just £40000 on him, and a more modest £3000 on Drum Major. Go boys!

Well the afternoon runners have finished, we just had a second from MERRY MUSIC at 11-1

Petras BARBERS SHOP (not in my list but I guess can be musical) was also second at 6-4, but wouldnt have been worth betting each way on !

This evenings runner and forumite , I will post result on Monday.
