I’ve mentioned this before, but when it keeps happening to you, you start to question yourself and your methods! On Saturday, we saw both Doc Hay and Dungannon win, 2 horses I backed last time out and both whom I didn’t back on Saturday. And yes Mr Hulmes text me to say thanks. It is unbelievable isn’t it?… Read More »
“Let the sun shine, let the sun shine”, are words from a song that must have been sung by all the bookies this week, as the unseasonably warm weather has scuppered lots of well laid plans! Our big hope Chapter Seven needed rain and soft ground and instead got sunshine and firm going! These are the perils of… Read More »
Well, Chapter Seven tuned up perfectly for the Cambridgeshire last Saturday with an excellent second at Newbury. That race will have put him spot on for the big one this week. Now in the words of Tinie Tempah “Let it rain, let it pour.” There’s a guy who’s been coming in to Tony the Bookies’ shop for 5 years now,… Read More »
“Just a quick one today”said The Good Lady, (as opposed to a marathon session) as we entered the shops! Super, the Kerry National is on in about 10 hours and I’m likely to be stuck here trying on 17 versions of the same top in 10 different shops and then returning to the first shop to buy the… Read More »
Mr Hulmes once told me he had a perfect system for backing horses. Now no-one can have a perfect system I know, but well I’ll explain. According to Mr H. any horse I back, is worth backing next time it runs. See, I don’t like to make excuses for the horses I back if they get beat and… Read More »
Down to business straight away today, the tales of Mr Hulmes and Helmet in Doncaster town centre will have to wait for another day. But I will say 1 word about it – Messy! I really fancy Viztoria in the 3.15pm. This horse needs ease in the ground to be at her best, so conditions should really suit today. The… Read More »
Champagne corks were popping in the hotel last night after Clon Brulee had landed us a good touch. Well, needless to say, the busty blonde from the previous night found a new affection for Helmet and was right over. Now Helmet being himself, couldn’t see through this rouge and was delighted to be getting some attention, from what can only… Read More »
Helmet and I were in the hotel bar last night enjoying a couple of ladyboys – Partridge style of course – when in walked a busty blonde. Now Helmet fancies himself as a ladies man and so after he stopped drooling, approached the aforementioned young lady. He casually slid over, sat next to her at the bar and… Read More »
I’m looking out of my hotel window here at Town Moor and it’s not very nice at all. When I checked the Metoffice report yesterday morning, no rain was forecast for this week. Guess Gump must be the Weatherman as it’s persistently coming down now! Anyways it’ll take more than this rain to dampen my enthusiasm for a… Read More »
“Feast or famine with you,” The Good Lady tells me on a weekend, “we either eat Steak and drink Champagne as you’ve had a good Saturday or we’re suffering from the Gump effect!” And people you know how that works. Anyway I’m hitting the ground running for tomorrow with 6 beauties for us to get our teeth in… Read More »
