I was tempted to pick Whyso Mayo
because it's an awesome name. But Honourable Spider was even better :D
Can I do worse than yesterday..

I don't know, can you?
I see Judgey is waiting to see what we've picked so he can use our pearls of wisdom in his own selection.
Well,
I have had more bets today than any other day this week. And so as not to jinx it, none of them appear in my selections
Ok
14.00 Katchit
14.35 Hairy Molly
15.15 Monkerhostin
16.00 Patches
16.40 Ground Ball
17.20 Kawagino
Trust you to pick a horse whose name sounds like 'cat shit'
:-/
It was Hairy Molly that bought a smile to my face
and that is the second time in my life I've found myself saying that
*snigger*
Yeah, that is a good name.
yep
I went for names not outfits today
And
Why Patches? Its recent form looked a bit rubbish from what I could see on RacingPost's site. I was confused by how high in the list it was.
Not
an easy one to answer, really. That is one race where I have backed a different horse already, but Patches should certainly get the trip judging by previous performances and definitely has one of the better jockeys in the race, which in a race like this can mean quite a bit
Ah yeah
I couldn't see where the jockey was listed on the horse info on the RP site. Not that I know jockeys but one of my choices had only come first with one particular jockey so I couldn't see if it was a good choice or not...
i reckon
i should be starting on a top weight of -£15 after the primary school mathematical errors i made in the totting up yesterdays totals. Thus i have had to enlist the help of 'Crime Traveller' Michael French who assures me that these are the winners of the races today. Hopefully he doesn't have the numbers upside down...
2.00 Punjabi
2.35 Black Harry
3.15 Kauto Star
4.00 Patches
4.40 Borora
5.20 Arcalis
I loved Crime Traveller
^ cock in hand
while looking up
crime traveller on amazon i happened upon the greatest boxed set ever released - http://tinyurl.com/2wgbbg - The Complete Box Set of Bugs! - four discs of joy.
My aim therefore has been shifted from winning this competition to making £41.97 of real money from my £5 free bet (code is FRIDAY for all those using Coral) so that i can buy this box set.
All help/tips appreciated.
I never liked Bugs. Only Crime Traveller
I think there are a couple of DVD releases but I didn't like it enough to buy a DVD.
not sure why its on 4 discs but
http://tinyurl.com/2c7wcn
quite expensive though
