A Joyful Mission

Following my post on trackers, mine has highlighted Joyful Mission in the 5.10 at Wolverhampton tomorrow. Its currently 33/1 and seems to me worth a small e/w investment - not that I like tipping.

There was a small bit of roguery

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this RTE podcast about a great greyhound gamble centred on Mullingar dog track in 1978. It's described as a 'coup', which is not entirely accurate as ultimately it failed. It's wonderful charming story, really well told with interviews with the surviving organisers. The basic plot was to have an off course gamble at bookies across the whole of Ireland at tote odds on the classy stayer Ballydonnell Sam, while at the same time ensuring noone could bet on the favourite on the tote on track. There were 5 Tote windows at Mullingar and the team blocked these for the 15 minutes prior to the race by having really slow, complicated bets on all kinds of combinations other than the favourite, and making 'mistakes' so bets had to be cancelled and reissued.

Mixed day on Thursday. Could not decide who to back in the 1.00 at Lingfield. 4 runner race and I fancied Sgt Tibbs and Breakfast at Tiffanys (nothing to do with Audrey Hepburn, although what she saw in Cary Grant in Roman Holiday was beyond me).  There was no each way option so backed them both, and put them in a forecast - they finished 3rd and 4th. Sgt Tibbs pulled too hard and in a bigger field where he settles better might be worth sticking with. But my salvation came from Gometra Ginty (4.35 Musselburgh). My notes said "Dodger but co...

Blog suspended

I am working too much and prefer writing in a written (i.e. paper and pen diary), which I have done for the last 4 years on non-punting matters.  They are all in my loft (it is very dusty) and if there is no fire you can read them when I die - please do not hold a minute's silence. An hour's drinking chatting about what an idiot I am/was will be much more fun. Cheers!
