She's 12-1 now just put a fiver on her hate to see it win an not be on it.

It lost but was leading for most of the way maybe if the jockey would of hold it back and let it go at the last two fences he may of won...anyway one to keep an eye out for in the future.

A win is a win. But I'd stick with Andy's tips. He's good at spotting value. Just don't wager silly money or chase losses.

I don't bet on horses myself, or any other sport. Mainly because I know fuck all about horse racing. But I can sure play a solid game of poker, unless I have had a few too many beers.....

It was a sound effort even the joe jockey looked like he was trying to win - Always a danger when Alan Kirby is on board a lazy horse on the all weather - Kirby and George Baker seem to have some sort of right to nick races in any circumstances on the All Weather.
Tea in Transvaal was outclassed by the geldings and colts.It will be interesting to see if Evans persists at the same level ( Class 3) I think he should she is only a four year old and was run out of it by the steroid brigade and while many good horses are born not made plenty of other horses have been trained to be better than their breeding suggests they should be and Tea in Transvaal looks a likely sort

[joefrombradford]

Any predictions for tomorrow's National Hunt, Andy?

[andy]

Just watched a stunning effort by Ryan Moore at Keeneland on Hit it a bomb - Have to reconsider all his other rides on that showing it was out to 14-1 in running and rising yet he won on a not particularly good horse.

Any suggestions for a little each way treble for tomorrow?

Newmarket 14.05 Rioca

7-2 return - modest enough when set against the 140 - 1 for a full house - All apparent afterwards - Back to the Breeder's Ryan Moore on the wesley ward runner in the 5f looks interesting at a massive price that said if atzeni can do what he did at Newbury today I'm backing Moore to do it tonight at Keeneland

I meant to post this last night on Friday 13th but for some reason it slipped my mind.

At dawn on Friday, 13 October 1307 (a date sometimes linked with the origin of the Friday the 13th superstition) King Philip IV ordered de Molay and scores of other French Templars to be simultaneously arrested. The arrest warrant started with the phrase: "Dieu n'est pas content, nous avons des ennemis de la foi dans le Royaume" ["God is not pleased. We have enemies of the faith in the kingdom"].

Claims were made that during Templar admissions ceremonies, recruits were forced to spit on the Cross, deny Christ, and engage in indecent kissing; brethren were also accused of worshiping idols, and the order was said to have encouraged homosexual practices.

The Templars were charged with numerous other offences such as financial corruption, fraud, and secrecy. Many of the accused confessed to these charges under torture, and these confessions, even though obtained under duress, caused a scandal in Paris. The prisoners were coerced to confess that they had spat on the Cross: "Moi, Raymond de La Fère, 21 ans, reconnais que [j'ai] craché trois fois sur la Croix, mais de bouche et pas de cœur" (free translation: "I, Raymond de La Fère, 21 years old, admit that I have spat three times on the Cross, but only from my mouth and not from my heart").

The Templars were accused of idolatry and were suspected of worshipping either a figure known as Baphomet or a mummified severed head they recovered, amongst other artifacts, at their original headquarters on the Temple Mount that many scholars theorize might have been that of John the Baptist, among other things.
