Horse Racing

80p profit. Had about 6 runners in it, and one of my 2 'get your money back' runners won it.

 

Good race, favourites never in it which is often the case with the Cup.

 

The reaction of the Heartbreak City owners to coming second was hilarious.

 

Never seen it. Had to hit the sack 10 minutes after it was over.

Vautour broke its foot in a "freak accident" and had to get put down

 

Aye, gutting man. Beautiful horse and a real star. Mullins lost 3 over the weekend in different circumstances. Very sad for all connections....not to mention Freddie Tylicki suffering paralysis from that horrific accident.

 

Any tips welcome, as I can't pick my nose lately.
I'd kill for Joey the budgie from ' Carry on ..'

 

Classic film. Id kill to be in that world, at that time and at a decent age.

 

Had some luck today. Wins of £50 & £60.
Last one, going for 'will othe west' in 15:00 @ Chelt.

 

Many Clouds beats Thistlecrack then snuffed it after the race, quite sad but some way to go out.

 

Sad about many clouds top horse. Hopefully he died doing something he loved.

 

Yes, really sad for all concerned, not least the gallant horse.

 

Aye i think he was doing a bit of rock climbing.

He will be well chuffed.

 

aye dont no what he was doing at cheltenham maybe got lost.

 

He was at Cheltenham racing.

 

true that.

 

Jockey was shocking on Cue Card there swinging all over its back for ages

for me today, hoping to boost uni funds by gambling

 

Anyone provisionally interested in (I dont graduate until 2 years from now then got my teacher training for a year) potentially owning a racehorse? This is something I've always wanted to do.

I've Looked around at everything ranging from the Rolls Royce, deluxe type options (and also close to me) like training a horse with Mark Johnston (Classic winning trainer, £75 a day,pricey but includes everything) to the more cheap, all weather experts or local track specialists (Chris Grant or Richard Guest, usually £30-£35 per day)

When I'm a teacher, it'd be nice to (I again stress in the mid future) club together a few Celtic fans and call a horse 'The Boys of 67' or something like that racing in Green & White Hoops Silks

Keith Dalgleish who is based in Scotland and has won Group races is £42 per day.

You can buy (with a bit of luck) a decent horse for £10-£15k. I remember Imperial Commander who won the 2010 Cheltenham Gold Cup (which I was there to see) cost between five geordie lads, £10k = £2k each.

Has anyone ever owned a horse or been in a syndicate before?
