U.K. update Thursday.

Good morning to the CLAN and as we sit in sunshine, the UK starts with snow, rain etc, as they move into the jump season.

Racing tonight from Great Leighs, sure they show on tellytrack, racing International.

Lingfield today no fancies.

Over the jumps from Newcastle and Stratford, where I will take a small double with That's Rhythm after running 2nd in its last two outings and Bakbenscher, who can take a front seat.

good punting!

I've gone with a longshot at Great Leighs (Fly In Johnny in the 6.20) for the competition but considered a 50/1 debutante at Stratford as well: Ikorodu Road in the 4.20.

What a Science should win at Stratford

Woah, just saw my longshot (Ikorodu Road) finished 2nd @ 100/1!

Good call with Whata Scientist, won at 28/10.

Hope you played each way Sabre as that was a gold finder well done

Thanks.

Actually, I haven't done any betting for quite some time. Just following for interest sake and for the competitions.

That's the best way..as from Nov 1st I am stopping playing horses until 1st March. I will, like you watch and interact, but as far as gambling its going to be a break, then maybe I will be able to have a nice juicy steak now and again.
