Great day betting wise at Fairyhouse with Zaidpour and Hurricane Fly going in with E/Ws coming back on Head Of The Posse and Kempes, Third Intention at Newbury winning as well just wish I had taken the 25/1 outright but nevermind.

Sad day for Twist Magic one of my favs

good to see that Mikael D'Haguenet is okay.

Exeter 12.50 Mizzurka 4/1 and Overnight Fame to place @ 7.4 - won its P2Ps well and went okay on hurdles debut I know CP likes this horse alot

Looks good on its bumper form winning 3 of them the best being a Class 1 the 2nd in that Risaala has boosted it with two good hurdles runs, Mizzurka was well backed at Aintree when last seen but seem to be something a miss and pulled up, AP booked.

Exeter 1.50 Sports Line 3/1 and @ 5/6 - no Royal Charm

Ex Mullins horse going for first run for McCain, was thought alot of last season and well backed for the Arkle an came 3rd to Captain Cee Bee in the Ryanair Novice chase at Punchestown should have great chance if ready.

Wish this frost and snow would feck off, tomorrows Long Walk/Ladbroke card bites the dust for the second year running.

Still got the old Barry & Sandra Kelly Memorial Hurdle as was at Navan today Andy.

Sad news in the past week too that Lambourn trainer Julia Tooth has died aged 41 and also Lucy Normile's husband Alan aged 37

Aye Navan is certainly the pick of the bunch. The 13.50 looks particularly competitive, the novice chase before that though I think should see the cards fall the way of the favourite who should be even better for the step up - Hidden Cyclone I think it is.

not much today

johannesgray .2.05 southwell should go well but shorter price and 7 runners temper the e/w bet



blackburn can win in the footie today

Tony McCoy wins the BBC Sports Personality ... What a result ...

Honestly, cant find anyone more deserving than AP.

Superb year for him

Yep, very well deserved.

Body on the line day in day out without any hint of 'Big Time Charlie' from AP.

Brilliant news for AP - massive congratulations



No UK racing today so a through the card job at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in the South of France.

12:00 - Tonkina @ 33/1 (SJ)
12:33 - Royal Ultamatenia @ 3/1 (Bet365)
13:05 - Belle Des Carnette @ 14/1 (General)
13:35 - Viotti @ 9/2 (VC)
14:05 - Toque Rose @ 3/1 (VC)
14:35 - Maravilho @ 66/1 (General)
15:05 - Mister Fixit @ 16/1 (General)
15:35 - Akira D'Auteuil @ 25/1 (General)

Bent Italian game tonight.

Serie B.

Albinoleffe Vs Piacenza

£2.3 Million matched on Betfair, £2.2 million of it on the draw which now trades at 1.44. Ladbrokes coupon were going 15/8, checked their screens and they had cut to 4/11.

Yes, 4/11 for the draw.

1-1 Correct score is just a shade over 2/1 too.

You couldnt make it up in all fairness.

happy ap mccoy got the sports personality

walked it with the votes (and my two

)

keeps my acca going.. 3 out of 5 now

(kauto king george and big bucks at chelt left)

The forecast is more encouraging nearer the weekend for Kempton....

Wish i had the money to make that bet profitable!

Anyone opposing Kauto on Sunday?

Hills standing out with 11/10 at the moment, with a best price guarentee throughout the week.

Crap cards but had a go on one which is overpriced I think.

Eradicate @ 5/4 Kempton 14.50

A winner in a Grade 2 over hurdles but has also run to RPR of 108 on the flat which is well clear of these, was also beaten by 6 lengths on the flat this year in a Group 2 over 2 miles, Bass takes 5lbs off.

I backed Long Run before its first run of the season @ 6/1 also backed it @ 4/1 - no Kauto though.

If your going to back Kauto do it now IMO it will go off 4/6 fav.

Kempton 1.20 Spanish Treasure @ 4/1

Won its bumper very really and the time was quicker then the better class bumper before it on the same day at Punchestown.

Further update on the Bent game last night... finished 3-3.

£5.1 million matched on Betfair, £4.8 million on the draw.

Even when the home side went 1-0 up or the away side went 1-2 up the draw price still never went any higher than what it started out at pre match.

Im surprised Betfred hasnt voided all bets again if he was betting on the game a la the bent Accrington Stanley game a few years back which was investigated but never proved to be bent.

I'd rather take the possible odds-on price on the day if I back Kauto than have an antepost bet which the weather could easily ruin by the morning.

would of thought the bet would still stand for when its rescheduled if it was to be called off

All Ante-Post bets are void if the race isn't run at Kempton on 26th or 27th December.

Looks like even the AW action at Wolverhampton on boxing day is going to fall victim to the weather. Boxing Day down the pub + no racing = FML.

Kempton to be abandonded on boxing day has gone from 2/1 to 1/4 over the past 24 hours, so it dont look good.

Suppose theres always darts tonight to have a go at.... or the cricket on Boxing Day morning.

kemptons big meeting rescheduled for monday...
