Media Library Frenzy

Yesterday whilst I was on a cleaning whim, I decided to have a fiddle around with the My Dashboard functionalities here on WordPress. I noticed in the Media section that the images were beginning to take up a small percentage of one’s allotted free space. Being the technical dunce I am, I inadvertently deleted the whole library so archived posts no longer have any witty associated pictures with them now. Woops! I do however have 100% free space going forward.

Today’s selections are from Sedgefield:

2.10 Sedge- Devil’s Delight & Gavroche Gaugain (e/w).

2.40 Sedge- Saveiro (e/w).

3.10 Sedge- Riguez Dancer (win).

3.40 Sedge- Oniz Tiptoes (e/w).

4.10 Sedge- More Like It (win).

4.40 Sedge- Smudger (e/w).

In the Premiership tonight (7.45 pm), Bolton  make a short trip to Manchester City. I really feel they are way overpriced and from match to match you’re not sure which City performance you’re going to get. Therefore, I’m going Bolton (9.4 Betfair) and the Draw (4.3). Many will regard this as a home banker but I have my slight doubts.

It’s not long now off the start of the Winter Olympics, and I’m having my first pre-games bet. I cannot see any further than CANADA (2.32 Betfair) to win the ice hockey gold. This price will look like a steal once the competition starts believe me

I should be so pucky!

Enforcer time.

Dust

This morning I decided to have a spring clean of the clutter on the shelves above my computer. Racing books, printouts, files, manuals-you know the type of stuff. It all started well, mid-morning with a half hearted “flick” of the duster. One and a half hours later, I’ve got a black bag full of rubbish and the duster became a wet cloth-the dust was that deep in places. I’m coughing and spluttering like a 40-a-day smoker now with the window open wide to let out the particles. The oldest form prints out I found were 2003, so I haven’t done bad leaving that little task seven years to get around to

Hope you got the 12/1 winner I posted yesterday.

Todays’ fancies are from Southwell:

2.10 South- Sparkling Taff (e/w).

2.40 South- Mill Side (e/w).

3.10 South- Burton Point (win).

3.40 South- Hydrophonic & Golden Button (e/w).

4.10 South- Konigsbote (e/w).

4.40 South- Carrick Castle (e/w).

Dust?

Cough!

Sunday Service

I’m doing my Sunday blog on Saturday evening as I’ll be out most of tomorrow trying to qualify at bowls

Well Saturday brought some excellent winners on the blog with Gidam Gidam bringing the house down. The selection was readily available at 26.0 in the morning and was even bigger in running at one point. Ironically, the hit counter on the blog today was the lowest Saturday turnout in months. Hope at least one person got a few quid on

Sunday’s selections are from Fontwell Park:

1.50 Font- Causeway King (win).

2.20 Font- Vino Griego (win).

2.50 Font- No More Punts (e/w).

3.20 Font- Sebastiano (e/w).

3.50 Font- Ballymorn (win).

4.20 Font- Saddler’s Mot (e/w).

4.50 Font - Gallox Bridge (e/w).

Betfair is having a torrid time of it at the moment with the stability of its site. There is a crash of some sort every few days at the moment and I’m personally getting miffed off with it. I’m sure arcades, virtual racing and such nonsense can not be helping the stability of the platform. I’ve been on the site eight years and it’s probably the lowest confidence I’ve ever had with the Betfair product. Saturday’s -which I used to get excited about are becoming a chore as I fight against the clunky processing time. Firefox which used to be the best browser to navigate the site with is now unfit for purpose.

I’ve decided that from Monday, I’m going to play about 25% of my staking over at Betdaq during the week and on Saturday’s use Betdaq exclusively. I’m not chancing another Saturday on Betfair until I hear it’s functioning sweetly again, which alas I fear will be some considerable time.

I’m reclaiming my Saturday’s to make them enjoyable again!!!

Is the future blue with a bit of purple mixed in?

Best of luck!

Doncaster Devils

Phew! Just home in time after running some errands in town. Why are Saturday mornings always so manic?

Today’s fancies are from Doncaster:

12.50 Donc- Iolith & Dan Breen (e/w).

1.20 Donc- You’re The Top (win).

1.55 Donc -Sonowyouno & Divers (e/w).

2.25 Donc- Mad Max (win).

3.25 Donc- L’Orient Express & Leo’s Lucky Star (e/w).

4.00 Donc- Gidam Gidam & Stagecoach Diamond (e/w).

4.35 Donc- Penylan Star (e/w).

In the Premiership today, don’t forget to back Bolton at home (2.24 Betfair).

Mighty Whites can bite!

Rarrrr!

Bowls update

Darren Burnett wins the Welsh Open semi 2-1. Hope you got the odds earlier today.

Weighed in

Didn’t we have a lovely time

…the day I posted tips for Bangor . Some nice little booms again yesterday at Towcester so I hope this form continues into the weekend.

1.50 Bang- Fabalu (win).

2.25 Bang- Noun De La Thinte (win).

3.00 Bang- Drumshambo (e/w).

3.35 Bang- Red Onion & Marsool (e/w).

4.10 Bang- Asturienne (win).

4.45 Bang- Leac An Scail (e/w).

It’s the Welsh Open Bowls semi finals today, and in the second semi at 11.45 a.m I fancy DARREN BURNETT (1.72 Betfair).

Gravy?

Sizzling hot!

Towcester Towbars

The wheel finally fell off the Leeds United FA Cup bus last night, naturally on a night when I tipped them. However, if you followed them every round you would have made a handsome profit so it’s not all doom and gloom.

Yesterday the blog enjoyed some nice winners  and those selections formed the basis of a tasty return on the Placepot too (£410.50).

Today, my fancies are from Towcester:

1.40 Towc- Ashley’s Lad (win).

2.10 Towc- Mr Ironman (e/w).

2.40 Towc -El Distintivo (win).

3.10 Towc- It’s A Classic (e/w).

3.40 Towc- Kahsabelle & Sendinpost (e/w).

4.10 Towc- Hinton Thunderbolt (win).

4.40 Towc- Argentia & Educated Evans (e/w).

It’s not so often I tip up golfers, but the past few weeks I’ve been doing pretty well with my golf naps.

On the PGA Tour this week (Northern Trust), I’m with R.Allenby (21.0), A.Scott (38.0) & C.Howell III (44.0). I shall be trying some win and place bets with those three players.

In the hole Charlie!

Four!

Exeter Express

Some nice booms! on the blog yesterday, topped off with an excellent Crystal Palace win. Did you see that crazy hat-trick?

Today’s fancies are from EXETER:

1.55 Ex- Players Please & Jenny Potts (e/w).

2.30 Ex- Rebecca’s Choice & Gouranga (e/w).

3.05 Ex- Newbay Bob (win).

3.40 Ex- Anay Turge (e/w).

4.15 Ex- Copper Bleu (win).

4.50 Ex- King Billy (e/w).

Tonight is the FA Cup replay between Leeds and Spurs, and until my luck runs out I am going to place the same bet again. Leeds (4.4) & The Draw (3.75). Kick off 7.45pm GMT.

We can snog grass!

Gola!

Taunton Tallywags

Ummm, …….we’ll put yesterday down to experience. Moving swiftly on, my horse selections today are from TAUNTON.

1.40 Taunt- Cuckoo Lane & Posh Emily (e/w).

2.10 Taunt- Robber’s Bridge (win).

2.40 Taunt- Quartz De Thaix (win).

3.10 Taunt- Whistlejacquet (win).

3.40 Taunt- Voramar Two (e/w).

4.10 Taunt- Buck Mulligan (e/w).

4.40 Taunt- Rock On Ruby (win).

They might be in administration but I fancy CRYSTAL PALACE (2.6) to win at home tonight in their FA cup replay. They were in excellent form on Saturday and tonight the atmosphere will be electric.

Glad all over!

Super Eagles!

Up the Dale!

A cracking little derby takes place tonight at Gigg Lane as highflying Bury take on league leaders Rochdale. As a Rochdale dweller I am going to follow The Dale (2.56 Betfair)tonight to nick a win in front of the SKY cameras. Kick off is 7.45 pm GMT.

In the Welsh Open Bowls first round take Kelvin Kerkow (1.43 Betfair) to beat Tim Stone (starts 1pm GMT).

Sadly, National Hunt racing has fallen victim to another freeze today, so there will be no racing fancies from me as I’m pretty clueless on the All Weather.

Ker Pow!

Jack high!
