14.40. Brian Boranha. 2nd. @ 5/1 . Silver Eclipse. 1st. @ 11/1.

15.55. A Theatre. 1st. @ 19/1.

Not to bad considering my normal lack of skill, although only 2 winners and 9 placers at reasonably high odds, better than 30% overall. Would have been quite spectacular had I used the BetFair Exchange but not enough cash.

* Peaches and Cream came 6th @ 28/1 but they didn't pay out, probably due to the 2 non-runners so I left some "feedback".

Let's have it right mugz no question some people have been waiting to cause trouble for g Elliot. With Cheltenham round the corner. The timing of this makes sense now. As the image was from 2019 . And g Elliot had some very well fancied horses going.nothing surprises no more.

Well done H4C i`m just gonna start backing your picks .

You scored a perfect game in bowling 300. Nice work horses4courses :up:

Congrats H4C. Nice total.

Great ride there by AP.

I always felt that having AP on your horse gave you what felt like a 5 lb pull against any other rider.

Warrior in a finish.

Lord glitters won but the greatcollection 4th didn't finish the race off. Think that needs to drop in trip. A furlong. Winner won well .

Think 2 I'd be interested in today are lord glitters 2.20 that's if tudhope gives it a positive ride. The other is the greatcollection 2.55 this is running a lot better this year. Both will come late as that's their style of running. I can't bet as most know but thought I'd let you know good luck on your betting today as always.

I think the punishment is fair and thankfully his staff will remain employed.

I would like to think he is sincere in his statement after the hearing and he has learned a valuable lesson from this.

This may have set us back re the horse welfare subject but I have every confidence that this is a isolated incident with him.

What we must consider now is Gordon's well-being mentally because this must have placed a huge strain and pressure on him with all the publicly be it in the press, television and social media.

I do believe he will learn from it and indeed be a better man/trainer for it in the long run.

JT

I dont think GE is an abuser of horses, and as to what he gets up to in his private life thats his business and should not affect racing. The story behind the photo may never be verified, and thats for GE to sort out.

I think theres a lot of stuff that happens in he world of emergency services which if made public would cause outrage. However these people are doing extremely difficult and harrowing jobs and providing they keep things private I think whatever way they find to cope with the stresses is acceptable. I'm not saying that GE's photo is acceptable but these people have to deal with death of horses on a regular basis and as such have to find ways of normalising it so they can keep going.

I think the ban is reasonable, not excessive, and a lesson has been learned for everyone in the industry.

West Ham
What a season the Hammers are having currently in the Champions League places and not by luck. won 3 of their last 6 only narrowly losing to both Manchester clubs in the cup and League.
To be honest it's one team I haven't followed much in the Premiership as I always thought they would of dropped out the top 4 and possible top 10 but they are proving me wrong big time.
Beat us 2-1 at our place and probably deserved it. both goals from set pieces with headers.
Something we have to watch as these are really strong on set pieces I think the best in the League.

Team News - Leeds United




Team News - West Ham



Prediction
I don't know why but I fancy us to win on Monday don't ask me why I had the same feeling at Villa earlier in the season. I think they will come out thinking they are better than us with a swagger and we will quietly put them to bed.
Injury news seems to be getting better Rodrigo - Bera - Poveda all got 45mins in todays 2-0 win at Wolves in a u23 game. Rodrigo netting both.
Expecting Rodrigo to get a place on the bench at West Ham. Phillips didn't start but I'm expecting him to play He's match fit he doesn't need u23 games. I think if training goes well this week he will start.
Koch & Shacks are back training even Forshaw is back in the group.
So things are looking up.
Going to stick my neck out here and say a 2-0 win for the boys. Reasons I just feel the game will play out ideally for us.

Gluck Lads go get them!!!!!!!! MOT!

Impressive figures for all involved

Spring in our steps!
The brighter starts to the day, warmer weather, lighter evenings and glorious sunshine can only mean one thing - Spring is finally here!

This seems to be bringing an improvement to the ground which bodes well for our 6-time chase winner WAIKIKI WAVES who has been patiently waiting for better ground. He races at Taunton tomorrow (04/03.) He has been in great form at home & he tends to go well fresh - we can't wait to see him back racing!

Another HOTSR horse who is in flying form of late is 3-time hurdle winner RUBY YEATS (above) who ran with such credit in a competitive Class 3 hurdle race at Ascot recently. Her main target looks to be Plumpton on 15/03 which is the race she won in emphatic style in 2020! Some rain would be welcome for Ruby.

Both of these horses have won for their Owners already this season which was a much needed lift given what we have all been going through in the past 12 months & it really meant the world the world to them. Hopefully they can do it again before the end of the NH season!

Really good jockey.Unfortunately when my money's down she doesn't win.
Well done ,Holly.

Fancy a few here tonight.

See if I can get a Super Yankee up.

Kempton 18.50. Highland Avenue and Oo De Lally. 5/4 and 9/4_ good luck

I have a few fancies tonight but let's see if I can get off to a flyer with Shackabooah

Shammers, I agree with you the stupid screaming at the merest touch rolling around as if they are being hit by a tank
I now record ALL matches firstly the pathetic kneeling
I am also able to carry out my own VAR.
The slightest wave of a hand in the face is greeted with a display as if Tyson has slapped them
Running into the penalty area and getting knocked over by the wind i could see a gap in one European cup game had to replay it to try and see contact but none at all Sadly VAR said there was contact.
I'm glad i don't drink in the clubs they use they would be falling everywhere as soon as the door opened

Tuesdays efforts: three winners 2/5, 11/2, 11/4 and five placers 3/2, 10/1, 10/1, 3/1,8/1.
I might come up with some very short notice f/casts and reverse f/casts which may not leave much reaction time but that's still some way off.

Totally agree JT, was just clarifying what happened following Peregrines comments about a trespasser or snooper!

Seas Of Elzaam

Odds on the drift at the moment.

Course and Distance winner here at Newcastle.
Drawn well tonight and I think will have the edge on these tonight. :up:

JT

It is irrelevant who or indeed why someone posted the "photo".

The issue is the "photo" and the portray of this image.

This image has caused outrage, disgust, disappointment and sadness throughout the racing industry.

No one wants any of Gordon's staff to lose their jobs but sad to say it seems this may happen and I for one despite my disgust in the image would be sad to see this happen.

JT

Thanks gambler but that just shows the consequences of this chap are huge.just think of all the stables livelihoods and others involved gone. I hope he's happy of the trouble he's created. Really he should have had it out with g Elliot. It just shows how people just don't think things through. Yes g Elliot shouldn't have got involved with the chaps lass but their is two sides to every story as they say. And I doubt we might not get to hear it.

The 'grass' is supposedly a lad who took offence to Gordon having it away with his girlfriend!! So, not a trespasser, just someone who took offence at GE having his girlfriend!! Wrong again Mr Elliott IMHO
