Evening sportsfans!! well i come to my final blog of 2012,what a year its been,frankel quite possibly being the best horse i'll ever see in my lifetime & the highlite of a great year & you never know,his offspring one day may be as good,well we can dream!! the cheltenham & aintree festivals where both outstanding affairs & the machine known as sprinter sacre can hopefully do for NH racing what frankel did for the flat.at this time of year its always nice to spare a thought for the stable lads & lasses who are up at the crack of dawn day in day out to support the sport we all love & i doff my cap to every one of them. :-) with cheltenhams new years day meeting now abandoned the channel 4 cameras switch to musselburgh so as a one off new year special i've decided to put up a lucky 15 on the four telivised terrestial tv races.

BLENHEIM BROOK 1.05 MUSSELBURGH (7/2 betfred)
LOS NADIS 1.40 MUSSELBURGH (20/1 totesport)
DEFINATE APPEAL 2.15 MUSSELBURGH (14/1 bet365)

Evening sportsfans!! all i can say is OOOOOOOOOSSHH!! in goes todays nap advised at a tasty 6/1 under a superb front running ride from jimmy quinn.the #teamchoochoo trading club also had a blinder with final parchment trading at 1.01 i/r the highlite of the day.for those that don't know it's ran very similiar to a ltd company where we have shares that have a varying value on a daily basis depending on how well we've done.we started out with 50 shares @ £10 per share & our balance has grown to £854.75 meaning the initial £10 shares are now worth £17.09!! :-) out of our funds we're looking at buying a share in a racehorse which in theory would make all the shareholders racehorse owners!! we're currently gathering information on syndications so if anyone has any information that we'd find useful please get in touch.also anyone wishing to get involved in the #teamchoochoo trading club please do not hesitate to contact me & i will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.onto tomorrows selections & to be honest i've been studying for the past 6 hours & i'm starting to go cock eyed so i'll put the selections up now with the advised stakes & put my reasons why in the morning...

3pts win @ 4/1 DIAMOND VINE 2.00 LINGFIELD (NAP)
2pts e/w @ 8/1 ATLANTIC BEACH 3.00 LINGFIELD (NB)
1pt e/w @ 9/1 L'HIRONDELLE 3.30 LINGFIELD
1pt e/w @ 16/1 BEAUTIFUL DAY 2.30 LINGFIELD

many thanks for following & i hope some of you have found my blog helpful & informative.good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

Evening sportsfans!! we did slightly better toay with the NB getting chinned at the death but running a very gallant race,however as we all know,bookies dont pay out on gallant losers!! hopefully i've found a couple little gems tomorrow with the first being marco botti's 3-y-o GREY MIRAGE 2.10 LINGFIELD (6/1 william hill NAP) he did finish behind todays likely favourite george guru last time out but gets a healthy pull in the weights as the winner has gone up in the ratings where as the handicapper has been kind for a change & dropped ours a few pounds.he does like to make the running & whilst he wasn't hassled up front he never really had things his own way that day where as tomorrow will be a totally different ball game.his shrewd yard have also applied the cheekpieces for the first time tomorrow and here is another little stat,since this horses last run the stable have had 14 runners..yielding 7 winners & 3 placings!! yet the 14 runs prior to that run yielded... ZERO winners from 14 runners!! so that just shows you how the stable have hit form over the past couple of weeks.our NB selection goes in the 3.50 at lingfield in the shape of PUTIN.ridden by the very capable 5lb claimer leonna mayor who in all fairness woudn't look out of place on a paris catwalk!! if hayley turners nickname is the head turner then young leonnas nickname must be the crowd turner!! enough of the fairer sex & back to our selection whos just been touched off in his last three runs however i think hes far more suited to this 7f intermediate trip & seems to go exceptionally well for his young jockey whos 5lb claim can tip the scales in his favour although i dont think it will be to long before young leonna will have ridden out her claim to be honest as like most apprentices she doesn't get put on the highest quality animals but if there in with a shout she can certainly get a decent tune out of them.our third selection was at the now abandoned haydock.

ADVISED BETS:

2pts win GREY MIRAGE 2.10 LINGFIELD (6/1 NAP)
2pts win PUTIN 3.50 LINGFIELD (S.P. NB)
1pt win double

TOTAL STAKE: 5pts

it certainly is hard work trying to turn a profit at the minute & i took a real battering personally today on the laying front but we live to fight another day.i hope you find my blog interesting & informative & i wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

Evening sportsfans!! firstly may i apologise for yesterdays non update on the blog,i purely didn't have time but we're back in full swing now so hopefully we can find a few nice winners tomorrow.the first selection goes at newbury & it's MIDNIGHT HAZE in the 2.10.kim baileys gelding drops back into a C3 for the first time since his last win & comes here only 2lb higher than his mark that day.since that win he has had more than valid excuses running twice over cheltenhams x-country course & also taking in a stab at the grand national.he was pulled up in the listed beecher chase on his comeback & that should have blown the cobwebs away but he was pulled up on the run prior to his last victory so that doesn't worry me & back in the right grade is a must for e/w punters tomorrow in my opinion.forecast favourite PETE THE FEAT has to be a lay for me,he's improved for his switch to charlie longsdon but i think his run will come to an end here.he won a 0-115 last time out & every horse in this field is rated higher than the highest rated in the field that day so it will take a herculian effort for him to win tomorrow.last years winner rey nacarado rates a far more dangerous threat in my eyes & a small stakes saver is advised with a r/f/c as well.our second selection tomorrow is BARAFUNDLE in the 2.25 at doncaster,he does have the "bounce" factor to contend with but he's another that drops into his last winning class,all be it just over two years ago.he'll go on the ground no problem & as long as the bounce factor doesn't kick in then he should be in with a great shout.here are tomorrows advised bets upto now as i've only covered newbury & doncaster upto now..

1pt e/w midnight haze 2.10 NEWBURY (20/1 NAP)
(small stakes saver on rey nacarado)

2pts win BARAFUNDLE 2.25 DONCASTER (7/2 NB)

0.5pt e/w double

TOTAL STAKE: 5pts

i do still have the two other meetings at kelso & wolves to cover & i will tweet any findings.i have had a few requests as regarding the #teamchoochoo trading club over xmas so a brief explanation is that it works similiar to a limited company,the money is pooled & trades are selected daily which you then recieve via e-mail in the morning with the selections & then get a daily update at the end of the day to let you now how we've got on during the day & what our current share price is & you then have the choice wether to stay in & carry on with the ride or you can cash in at anytime & take your money.our target is to buy a share in a racehorse next year & all shareholders in the trading club will then be racehorse owners!! granted it will be a very small share but it will be theres & they can brag to there friends that they own a share in a horse!! obviously the more shares you own in the trading club the more of a share of the horse you own.we started out with 50 shares @ £10.00 each giving us a starting balance of £500 & we currently stand at £808.75 making each share now worth £16.17 from an original price of £10.00!! (proof is available) so technically for just £10.00 you could become a racehorse owner!! :-) some people have already sold some of there original shares meaning the shares they are left holding haven't cost them a single penny & are now also looking at becoming a racehorse owner for free technically!! we have 7 shares available at the minute & it's first come first served so if you would like to get involved in this innovative idea please contact me for further details & i will be more than happy to help.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

Evening sportsfans!! well if i'm honest a very poor return today on our three selections,maybe i was trying to be to clever & look to deep rather than at what was staring me in the face but we live to fight another day.on the whole though i'm not sure how literally you should take the form shown today,in particular the christmas hurdle which i maybe wrong but was a bizarre race tactically & future form lines that get thrown up from it should be looked upon with great caution in my opinion.the same really has to go for the king george to be fair,long run got up to beat a horse he had slammed 17l 2 years prior so that begs the question..has captain chris improved 17l or has long run regressed 17l?? i have my own opinion & i'm sure you all have yours!! :-) onto tomorrow & our NAP goes in the rescheduled peterborough chase...

FOR NON STOP 2.05 KEMPTON (9/4 ladbrokes)

certainly not the most original selection but from a value point of view i haven't come across alot tomorrow & as i said in yesterdays blog we are doing this to show a profit!! he was withdrawn from todays king george over ground concerns but i think they've had a look at it & over 3m in this ground might be pushing it & with 22k to the winner of tomorrows race its not to be sniffed at.when you look at his last run that now looks exceptional form trying to give 6lb to captain chris in light of that ones blinding run in the king george today.a head back in third that day was ghizao who reopposes again tomorrow on the same terms but there where two decisive factors that day,ghizao got a very easy lead & had things very much his own way in front & for non stop clouted three fences all at crucial times which stopped him getting into a fluent rythmn so the fact he did as well as he did is testament to him.our second selection is also at kempton in the form of...

BRACKLOON HIGH 3.15 KEMPTON (9/2 william hill)

we napped this one on his seasonal reappearance when he came to grief at the first fence so hopefully we'll have a bit better luck with him tomorrow!! he ran a fine race last time out but he was blowing very heavily at the business end of the race so he might well have needed the run more than first thought to be honest & technically that was his debut run this  season with him coming to grief at the first on his previous outing.he did finish runner up in his novice hurdle days on heavy so the ground shouldn't pose any problems & with richard johnson booked he'll get every assistance from the saddle & he was up for his last victory also.

ADVISED BETS:
4pts win FOR NON STOP (9/4 NAP)
2pts win BRACKLOON HIGH (9/2 NB)
1pt win double

i hope you've found my blog informative & if you think your followers would find it an interesting read then why not give me a R/T!! :-) i will be recording all advised stakes & results & reporting how we're doing on a regular basis so you can all see how i'm doing profit/loss wise through the month.i wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!

25/12/2012

Evening sportsfans!! and a very merry xmas from all at #teamchoochoo!!! :-) the blog is changing slightly from here on in,i'll still be putting up my selections along with my reasoning behind my selections but i'll be doing a staking plan along the lines as i would back them myself so now you have an insight into the world of a professional gambler & how well i do throughout the year.obviously there will be ups & downs but the target as always will be to turn a regular profit month in month out so without further ado lets get on with it!!! :-)

todays first selection will be my nap for tomorrow and that is..

MERIGO 1.45 WETHERBY (20/1 william hill)

this lad has stamina in abundance & will relish the heavy going & i can assure you he'll be powering on when others have cried enough. 
twice a winner of the scottish national hes not been overburdened with weight & with more questions than answers arising from his opponents he looks massive value here.both the front two in the market ballyoliver & cape tribulation look like lays to me especially ballyoliver who couldnt win a 0-125 last time out & now goes in a field where every horse is rated higher than the top rated in that field.now he is rising 12 & certainly isn't getting any younger but he always takes a couple of runs to get back into the swing of things.last season he was beaten 70l+ on his first two outings before going onto scottish national glory as well as taking in a C3 off a mark of 129.richie mcgrath takes the ride owing to timmy murphys injury & hes a more than ample substitute in my opinion.

GET ME OUT OF HERE 2.35 KEMPTON (20/1 paddy power)

at first sight you might think me slightly drunk for putting this one up but here goes...five runs back he finished 2nd to zarkander off level weights & he gave the 3rd horse that day,raya star,12lbs & he beat him a neck,knowing what we now know i put that performance at around 165 which puts him right in the mix tomorrow.he then followed that up with a massive run off 11-12 in the coral cup as i dont think he truly stays more than 2 miles.he then followed that with a couple of minor victorys before being pitched in against oscar whiskey at ascot.at first look you would say he didnt go on the ground but i dont subscribe to that theory.he pulled very hard for his head that day for more than a mile & was bang there until 3 out when i think his stamina gave way & he was heavily eased.if he flops tomorrow over 2 miles then you have to say he doesn't go on the ground but at likely odds i'm prepared to give him one last chance to show he's a decent tool.

KAUTO STONE 3.10 KEMPTON (8/1 totesport)

i've come to this one more by the process of elimination more than anything else to be honest.theres question marks over literally all of the field in one way or another but the ground is going to be the key at kempton in my opinion & at least we know he goes on it when ploughing through bog like conditions at down royal last time out beating first lieutenant on his first try over 3 miles.in light of that ones run off a mark of 159 in the hennessy you have to take the form seriously & hopefully the nicholls camp can keep it in the family with kauto stars half brother.

here are our suggested bets & stakes..

1pts e/w MERIGO 1.45 WETHERBY 20/1 (nap)
1pts e/w KAUTO STONE 3.10 KEMPTON 8/1 (nb)
0.5pt e/w GET ME OUT OF HERE 2.35 KEMPTON 20/1
0.5pt e/w TRIXIE

total stake: 9pts
returns: 

i will update the returns after the days racing & will be keeping track of our points bank to advised stakes & also our strike rate.hopefully i can give you an insight into my life & how i make my money & show a profit regularly.i hope you've enjoyed reading my blog & any comments you have i would love to hear & if you like what i have to say then why not give me a R/T!! good luck with whatever you decide for you money & happy punting!! :-)

13/12/2012

Evening sportsfans!! well this is a bit bizarre... i find myself writing my next blog without todays results being in so keep an eye on the 7.00 at kempton this evening & we'll report the result along with todays on tomorrows blog :-).here are tomorrows thoughts...

2.30 CHELTENHAM

i'm not going to go into depth fully on this race as i have wasted so much time this week with abandonments & non runners & i see theres an inspection planned for the x-country course in the morning however i do have a strong lay in the race & thats the forecast sp favourite uncle junior.he goes here off a mark of 158 after being put up a massive 20lb from his last win & must surely struggle under the welter burden.it's a career high mark for the 11-y-o & he has twice been beaten off a mark of 2lb lower over C&D in his younger days.this is however a very specialist track & we're going to turn to the 14-y-o A NEW STORY for our back selection.he's another on a career high mark but he is now only 3lb higher than when 3rd behind sizing australia at the 2011 festival & his record around here reads... 3-4-7-1-3-2 which is exceptional to be honest & he wasn't completely embarresed last time out over hurdles which will have put him spot on for this.

LAY: uncle junior

BACK: a new story

i will be adding more races as i do them during the evening so keep an eye out for tweeted updates!! :-) as some of you will be aware i team up with three other twitter tipsters @glennphil2010 @tmcj & @thegambolar who are collectively known as #teamspeedo!! :-) our aim is to provide a big priced e/w lucky 15 for the following days racing & the guys are all very good judges.i will be posting the lucky 15 on my blog every evening however the selections aren't normally up until around 8.00pm so i will update the blog this evening.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

regards
ian

12/12/2012

Evening sportsfans!! and a warm welcome to my new look blog!! instead of putting up single selections i will now be targeting a race that i will be playing in myself & giving my in depth view on the race & hopefully finding a decent lay & a strong fancy to back so without further a do lets get onto tomorrow... :-)

7.00 KEMPTON PARK

we'll start of with our lay & it has to be the 4/1 forecast favourite kingscroft owned by the the good doctor koukash.now then if retaining all his old ability he could quite well win this off his mark of 89 but he has been slightly regressive in recent months & had to be dropped into a C4 to get his head in front for his last victory & he's now at the top end of his handicap rating which will make it very difficult to win this in my opinion.so onto our back selection & our nap goes here in the shape of hughie morrisons VALENCHA. shes been tried in alot higher grade than this on her last 6 runs mixing it in listed & group races but this is definatly her grade & her record in C3 races reads.. 2-4-2-1.she ran a blinder when we tipped her up at salisbury back in september when she was very badly hampered finishing a length behind baheeja which led to the now infamous racing uk rant from her trainer.shes far happier over tomorrows trip of 7f & has been placed on the polytrack in her younger days so the surface shouldn't prove any problem & is a confident nap tomorrow.

LAY: kingscroft

BACK: valencha 

i will be focusing on more than one race a day but this is the only race i'll be playing tomorrow & hopefully as the weather improves we'll have a few more races to target.i hope you find my blog informative & if you like what i've written why not give me a R/T alternativly if you disagree with my findings tell me as i'm always open to some friendly banter!! :-) many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

ian

11/12/2012

Evening sportsfans!! no joy today i'm afraid & at first look tomorrows racing doesn't look full of value if i'm honest but i've managed to squeeze out a nap amongst the rubble!!lol

KEY CUTTER 2.10 LEICESTER (NAP)

we're going back to an old friend to see if he can do us another good turn tomorrow.we put this one up @ 14's last time out & he re-captured his form running a gallant second & getting a 7lb pull with his victor that day he must go close tomorrow.he stays on the same mark & denis o'regan stays loyal & so am i!! :-) he'll also be helped with the forecast better ground & a bold show's forecast.
4pts e/w @

just the one selection tomorrow but to be quite honest theres not alot else that gets me excited from a punting point of view.the #teamchoochoo trading club is powering on & we've shown gains of over 70% upto now with some cracking trades recently & anyone interested in this innovative idea which will hopefully lead us into the winners enclosure with our own horse please e-mail me on im1973@hotmail.co.uk for full details.that just about wraps things up so as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!!! :-)

10/12/2012

Evening sportsfans!! another nap punted off the boards & another no show really,onward & upward as they say...

CHJIMES 2.00 LINGFIELD (NAP)

connor dore's tough gelding is now 5lb below his last winning mark & ran a blinder last time out over C&D.he's not the classiest animal you'll ever see but he has his level  & this is it to be honest & looks a solid e/w nap for followers tomorrow.
3pts e/w @ 9/1 (bet365)

MORESTEAD 3.40 FONTWELL (NB)

Brendan powell's gelding goes back hurdling tomorrow & on a 15lb lower mark than his chase one has got to be of interest.he does also seem to love it round fontwell & his record in at the track reads.....  1-2-2-1-2-2-3-2 & when you narrow that down to class 5 races it reads.....1-1 !!! enough said really....
3pts e/w @ 8/1 (bet365)

not really sure where we're going wrong at the minute if im honest, three days running the nap's been punted like defeat isn't in the english language & yet no return's.. :-( lets hope tomorrow brings a change of fortune but as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

regards
ian

9/12/2012

Evening sportsfans!!! well we're back after a 24hr break to freshen up so lets get straight onto tomorrows thoughts...

DISHY GURU 3.40 LINGFIELD (NAP)

mark blanshards gelding has been on the go since march however they have given him a bit of a break since his last run (44 days) which is the longest break he's had since he started his 3-y-o campaign when winning off this mark over C&D.he wasn't totally disgraced three runs back when only 2l behind brave echo in a C4 off a 5lb higher mark than he races of tomorrow & i'm hoping the short break will have freshened him up sufficiantly to put on a bold performance here.
3pts e/w @ 10/1 (bet victor)

RAMBO WILL 3.10 LINGFIELD (NB)

John jenkins charge has been a model of consistency this season being placed on no less than five occasions & can gain a deserved victory here.he was only a head behind rash judgement off a pound higher mark here in august on turf & the booking of graham lee certainly catches the eye tomorrow.
2pts e/w @ 6/1 (bet victor)

LOYALTY 2.40 LINGFIELD 

i couldn't let david shaws gelding pass without giving him a mention as he's tumbled so far in the weights he's going to hack up sooner or later at a decent price.wether todays the day is a bit of pot luck but a small e/w investment could pay dividends at fancy odds.
1pt e/w @ 16/1 (paddy power)

three selections tomorrow to get our teeth stuck into & it's quite competitive if low level racing tomorrow.this is my first blog since sprinter sacre destroyed his field in the tingle creek chase & i really think we've seen a very very special horse who i can only hope & pray stays sound in order to fulfil his awesome potential & if he can do half as much for NH racing as frankel did for flat racing then it will be a welcome shot in the arm for the sport.that just about wraps things up so as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

MANY THANKS FOR FOLLOWING!! :-)

7/12/2012

Evening sportsfans!! not alot i can say about today to be honest,two seconds & then the outsider of the three getting backed into 4/1 from 25's & then soundly beaten!! :-( traders had a field day but thats no comfort for backers im afraid so onto tomorrow & hopefully ive found a couple of juicy priced winners!! :-)

REBEL DU MAQUIS 3.20 AINTREE (NAP)

paul nicholls' gelding comes here on a winning mark & could well lead these a merry dance tomorrow.since his last victory he's contested the galway plate & then ran in listed company so they can be forgiven in my opinion.last time out he was behind nadiya de la vega at cheltenham & i'm prepared to forgive him that run as i'm not so sure he's at his best there to be honest as he's had three runs round the prestbury park track to no avail upto now & tomorrows flatter track will play much more to his strengths i think & must have solid e/w claims here.
3pts e/w @ 12/1 (william hill)

POKER DI SIVOLA 2.10 AINTREE (NB)

Ferdy murphy's grand stamp of a chaser looks on a fair mark to me & can run a big race at a nice price.this lad stays longer than the mother in law to be honest & i think staying's going to be the name of the game in this marathon in the forecast underfoot conditions.
2pts e/w @ 25/1 (boylesports)

well we'll see how we get on tomorrow now we've dipped our toe back into the NH arena,hopefully it will be a triumphant return to the scene!! :-) the #teamchoochoo trading club really is going from strength to strength & we have now shown gains of over 60% in the first month! maybe our dream of a share in a racehorse isn't as far away as first thought if we keep this form up!! :-) anyone wanting to get involved in this innovative idea please e-mail me on im1973@hotmail.co.uk for further details.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

Evening sportsfans!! another nap that gets punted off the boards & then produces a no show...starting to become a bit of a habit that needs breaking...and sooner rather than later!!!!

LUJEANIE 3.05 LINGFIELD (NAP)

nice & simple the first selection,last years winner coming here a pound lower than last years win & on the back of a decent run last time out in a claimer behind drawnfromthepast.he looks decent nap material & we'll take him to stem the tide tomorrow.
4pts win @ 9/2 (BETFRED)

SAKHEES PEARL 1.55 LINGFIELD (NB)

Jo crowleys mare comes here on a winning mark & you have to take head of the booking of ian mongan to be honest as he rode the mare to her last victory & it does seem to be when the moneys down,mongies the man they turn to.
3pts e/w @ 7/2 (paddy power)

STREWTH 3.40 LINGFIELD

now this one is interesting,he comes here a pound below his last winning mark & also drops back into a C6 for the first time since that victory & george baker also takes over the reigns again & he could well pop up at a tasty price.
2pts e/w @ 25/1 (skybet)

again i'm sticking with the a/w tomorrow as the weather seems to be playing havock at the minute with delayed inspections & all sorts going on at the jumps fixtures.the #teamchoochoo trading club had its best day so far with some tasty trades landed & after our first month we have produced gains of over 50%!! :-) anyone interested in this innovative idea & the chance to own a share in a racehorse please contact me on im1973@hotmail.co.uk for full details.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

Evening sportsfans!! another near miss today with the nap filling the runners up berth behind another improving 3-y-o but im not down hearted as at least we're nearer the mark!! :-)

LADY MANGO 12.55 LINGFIELD (NAP)

this filly takes a welcome drop in grade tomorrow & can get her head back in front i think.shes now dropped to her last winning mark which was in a C5 & luke morris takes the ride who gets on well with the filly.she does have close form with a couple of runners here & is weighted to turn the tables in my opinion.
3pts e/w @

just the one selection tomorrow but i've only had limited internet access today so form studys been a bit difficult to be honest & i'll be studying until the early hours tonight so i may be doing a blog update later as i've only covered lingfield upto now.

ian

4/12/2012

Evening sportsfans!! well i'm starting to lose the will a bit slightly if i'm honest.today our selections we're backed off the boards then a no show,frustrating doesn't even come close but well keep persuvering!! here are tomorrows thoughts...

NOBLE SILK 3.00 LINGFIELD (NAP)

at first sight lucy wadhams gelding isn't the sort we'd normally go for but we're back to basics now & winners are the priority.the recently gelded son of sir percy will relish these extra 2f tomorrow after winning his maiden here over 10f.he had a couple of stoute & cecil inmates behind him that day & on only his 5th racecourse start he's open to any amount of improvement & he could well turn out to be alot better than the mark of 77 that he goes off here.
4pts win @ 4/1 (paddy power)

TITAN TRIUMPH 1.30 LINGFIELD (NB)

this old boy really is a course specialist with no less than 7 course wins & 7 placings to his name.to be quite honest i'm absolutly gobsmacked at his price as his record in C5 races on polytrack reads... 1-1-1 !!!! yes thats right,three runs in the grade & three wins !! he's now a full 5lb below his last winning mark & wasn't totally disgraced last time out over an inadequate 7f in alot better race than this & i think he's a cracking e/w bet tomorrow.
3pts e/w @ 25/1 (bet victor)

i think i might have found a couple of tasty ones tomorrow gang & the sooner we stop this rot the better to be honest.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!!

3/12/2012

Evening sportsfans!! another day,another N/R!! seems to be the story of our month so far! :-( i thought we'd be safe sticking to the a/w but again a no show so here's hoping we at least get a run for our money tomorrow!!!lol

KNOWE HEAD 1.40 WOLVERHAMPTON (NAP)

this is quite a drop in grade for this lad & i think he can make the most of it tomorrow.he's not been totally disgraced against better class animals recently & has twice ran off a mark of 72 in the past and....TWO WINS!! :-) he also seems to have a favouring for the dunstall park track with two course victories & five places to his name there.now i do have a bit of a theory with this one as he's by high chaparral & if you have a look at his a/w record in C5 races & below over 9F & further it reads... 1-3-2-2 and on the back of that is a solid e/w nap for us.
3pts e/w @ 14/1 (ladbrokes)

ZELOS DIKTATOR 2.50 TOWCESTER (NB)

i must admit i quite fancied this one first time out this year however his record after a break doesn't read to well so i let him go & he ran well for a long way before fading 2 out & now he's dropped another 3lb tomorrow he looks an absolute e/w gift to be honest.now i know we have a short priced favourite but i think that wants alot further than tomorrows trip in all fairness & looks vulnereable in my eyes.
2pts e/w @ 14/1 (william hill)

well fingers crossed we might actually get a run for our money tomorrow as i really do fancy these to be honest.theres a few other things that i like tomorrow including royal sea in the 5.10 at wolves as he could be anything & the race itself is absolutly awful to be honest & they couldn't have found a worse race if they tried for his handicap debut.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

2/12/2012

Evening sportsfans!! not a bad day today all things considered the nap getting 2nd & the nb a non-runner however there we're savaging R4 deductions but hopefully followers managed to eek out a bit of profit on the day :-).i've decided to stick to the a/w for the time being as the ground is going to be pretty desperate the next week or so on turf...

NO MEAN TRICK 2.30 WOLVERHAMPTON (NAP)

this tough as teak gelding's now a pound below his last winning mark & can get his head back in front tomorrow.he weakened out of the places last time out over an inadequate 6f & this trip is far more to his liking to be honest & i expect him to blast out from his low draw & make all for #teamchoochoo.
3pts e/w @


COLOURBEARER 1.55 WOLVERHAMPTON (NB)

milton bradley has a knack with these old sprinters & this one must surely be due to go in soon off his current mark.he's also a far better horse on sand than turf these days & wasn't totally disgraced last time out just over 4l behind the rapidly improving gung ho jack in a slightly higher grade than he goes in tomorrow & on the back of that we'll have him on board tomorrow :-).
2pts e/w @

quite competitive a/w action for a monday tomorrow guys & there's also the NH card at plumpton however i'm not sure if any inspections are planned at the minute.a quite day for the #teamchoochoo trading club today as i refuse to get involved in "jumpers bumpers" purely on principal,i'm not saying there not useful for trainers but from a betting point of view there a swerve in my book to be honest.over at kempton there are a couple of things that i fancy including green earth in the 4.20 & i may have a few shillings e/w on beggars belief in the 2.20 on the chance he may be able to rekindle some old form at a course he loves.that just about wraps things up so as always many thanks for taking the time & effort to read my blog & good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!!! :-)

1/12/2012

Evening sportfans!! not the greatest day today again guys blog wise however sometimes it is difficult to relay the thoughts for the day the night before so alot of things i fancy i tweet during the day, those that follow me on twitter @ianmallard will know this but if you follow me & fancy sharing your thoughts your more than welcome!! :-) i've got a couple of selections for tomorrow however i'm not sure wether racings going to take place at leicester so i wont go into depth but here are the blog selections...

KEY CUTTER 1.50 LEICESTER (NAP)
3pts e/w @ 16/1 (bet365)

CHASE GATE 2.55 LEICESTER (NB)
2pts e/w @ 20/1 (bet365)

hopefully we can get the month kick started with a couple of juicy priced winners guys!! for the life of me i can't get interested in the "jumpers bumper" card to be honest so if leicester falls foul of the elements i'll be taking a back seat until monday so i'll bid you a fond farewell & wish you all the best until then. :-)

regards
ian

30/11/2012

Evening sportsfans!! more frustration today however tomorrow see's a new month & hopefully a fresh dawn!! i will be changing things slightly this month as i sort of got way layed with the results part of the blog this month & hopefully we can turn a profit!! :-)

MICHAEL FLIPS 3.40 NEWBURY (NAP)

Andy turnells charge gets a welcome drop in grade & can make it count here.he's weighted to turn around recent form with gus macrae getting a 9lb pull for just over 9l & that was also his seasonal debut so is entitled to come on for the run & we can excuse his run last time out behind al ferof as he was rightly outclassed but in this C2 he'll be far more at home & won't mind the underfoot conditions either.some of his form towards the end of last season was out the top drawer & he's a confident nap tomorrow.
4pts e/w @ 10/1 (bet victor)

CARRUTHERS 3.10 NEWBURY (NB)

we'll give our old friend carruthers a final throw of the dice tomorrow now he's had a couple of starts to sharpen himself up.he comes here just a pound higher than last years victory & he'll also relish the underfoot conditions.the one horse that i can't have on my mind at all is the favourite BOBS WORTH,i think the RSA chase he won was below par for the race & the form he has with grand crus has far from been upheld & the ground has to be a concern on his seasonal debut & how fit is he?? far to many questions to answer in my book even allowing for the bright start to the season the second season chasers are having & i'll be taking this thing on win & place til the cows  come home!! :-)
2pts e/w 28/1 (stan james)

hopefully we can get out the stalls a bit sharpish this month & start to build a solid foundation for some healthy profits!! :-) this also see's the end of the first month of the #teamchoochoo trading club & all told it's been a roaring success increasing our starting balance by over 40%!! hopefully there's another profitable month in store & our dream of a share in a nice horse may not be so distant after all!!
anyone requiring information on this innovative idea please e-mail me on im1973@hotmail.co.uk for more information.the only other thing that will be carrying my money tomorrow will be chasin rainbows in the 7.50 at wolves as i think this has a stand out chance.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

ian

29/11/2012

Evening sportsfans!! well absolutely woeful tipping today guys if im honest,if they run well you sort of don't mind but when they run like they have done today you do start to worry a tad so i've spent the whole day in the form book & found what i think are two value & winning selections that can turn this around...

MATUHI 3.15 NEWBURY (NAP)

David pipe's gelding takes a welcome drop in grade & trip tomorrow & i think he can get his head back in front.since his last win he's primarily been campaigned at G3 level & hasn't been totally disgraced but this is much more his bag to be honest but his best run this year was in the victor chandler at cheltenham when just over 4l behind the classy calgary bay & now back in his company can make his presence felt here.
4pts e/w @ 14/1 (paddy power)

RIO GAEL 1.55 DONCASTER (NB)

this is another taking a drop in grade who i think will go very well at a nice price.he's not been disgraced at a higher level & ran well for a very long time last time out behind the paul nicholls trained shooters wood.the stable had a welcome winner today & this lad can continue there good form.
3pts e/w @ 12/1 (betfred)

well i think we're on somewhat of a reputation recovery mission after the last couple of days & i'm very confident on these two i must admit.sometimes you just have to hold your hands up & say "i got it wrong" it happens i'm afraid.all you'll get from this blog is honesty so if you expect the usual "jockey cost me" & "clearly wasn't fit" excuses you won't get them from me but i'm confident we'll be back tomorrow with some smiley faces!! many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!

ian

28/11/2012

Evening sportsfans!! as regular readers know i'm not one for excuses,if i get it wrong i hold my hands up & move on... however i must say we paid the price dearly today with having a 3lb claimer on top,he came that wide he had to get a bus back to the course & was only beaten a length at the death but it was all in the form book beforehand so on we go & here are tomorrows thoughts...

QEETHAARA 5.35 KEMPTON (NAP)

mark brisbournes mare looks on an extremely attractive mark tomorrow & can make her way back into the winners enclosure. with her young jockeys claim shes a full 8lb below her last winning mark & with four course wins (three over C&D) to her name she looks primed & ready for action from a stable that like a punt so it might pay to snap up the early value.
4pts e/w @ 12/1 (bet365)

SHARE OPTION 1.55 UTTOXETER (NB)

this is another that has tumbled down the weights recently & now looks on a very attractive mark.the key thing with this one tomorrow though is that he handles heavy ground which is imperative tomorrow in my opinion & also has decent course form to his name at the midlands venue.
2pts e/w @ 25/1 (bet365)

i think the jumps meetings are going to be quite perilous over the next couple of weeks and what the ground is going to be like is anyone's guess to be honest.i would say we'll concentrate on the a/w but southwell is now closed until the new year owing to flooding so it's a bit of a nightmare fixture wise at the minute although i must credit the bha for quickly re-arranging the abandoned fixtures to nearby courses.there's not alot else to report from here to be honest & the quite time has given me a chance to catch up with things some what & i'm now ready for the coming jumps season with far more interest than i have this last couple of weeks to be honest.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow.

ian

27/11/2012

Evening sportsfans!! well what a load of bollox today turned out to be!! the nap running like a three legged mule then the nb finished second...all be it crawling over the line 64l behind the winner!! :-(
our end of term report reads..."must do better!" so onto tomorrow & we have some quite competitive a/w action in my opinion & hopefully we've found a bit of value for tomorrow!! :-)

HATTA STREAM 1.30 LINGFIELD (NAP)

this lad looks particularly well handicapped tomorrow & we'll take him as our nap.he comes here a pound above his last winning mark & ran a most encouraging race last time out at big odds.his young jockey takes a valuable three pound off his back & i think that can tip the scales in his favour over a C&D he clearly loves.
4pts e/w @ 9/1 (bet victor)

BAJAN TRYST 7.00 KEMPTON (NB)

Kevin ryans gelding comes here on his last winning mark & i think he could be the hidden gem tomorrow.he has been quite busy this summer without really setting the world on fire but they where in some pretty hot handicaps including the portland & stewards cup to name a few.graham lee knows him well & i think they could run an absolute blinder tomorrow.
3pts e/w @ 16/1 (bet365)

HEIGHT OF SUMMER 4.30 KEMPTON

now we do have to take a bit of a leap of faith with this one but at likely odds is well worth a punt i think & we do have to put our trust in steady ted durcan which is never the greatest of ideas but even he has to have the odd winner!! she comes here on a winning mark at least  & does like it here so at the prices she'll do to complete the #teamchoochoo patent tomorrow.
2pts e/w @ 16/1 (bet365)

after the recent famine we've got some quite competitive a/w action tomorrow to be honest & at first glance it looks like theres quite alot of well handicapped horses running tomorrow,how many of them are trying though is a totally different ball game!!lol with the recent bad weather the #teamchoochoo trading club has been a little bit quiet but we'll be back in full swing tomorrow guys!! :-) many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

26/11/2012

Evening sportsfans!! very disappointing run from todays nap,never in contention,must do better!! :-) i think i might have found a couple of nice things tomorrow...

LADY WILLA 1.00 LINGFIELD (NAP)

mark gillards canny little mare can get the day off to a flyer for #teamchoochoo i think tomorrow.she comes here on her last winning mark & has won on heavy going in her younger days so the underfoot conditions won't pose any concerns.she's had a couple of runs to put her right this year & i'm expecting a massive run tomorrow from this one to be honest.
5pts e/w @ 8/1 (ladbrokes)

PESNETT BAY 3.00 LINGFIELD (NB)

we'll take jo hughes' charge to try & give us a nice double on the day.he ran a blinder on his return off this mark finishing just over 6l behind time for spring which will have blown the cobwebs away & he can make a welcome return to the winners enclosure here.
5pts win @ 5/1 (bet365)

2.5pts e/w double

we're down to the bare bones again tomorrow with just one meeting but at least it's half decent if not overloaded with quantity to be honest.a quite start to the week for the #teamchoochoo trading club but today yielded yet another profitable day. :-) anyone requiring details of this innovative venture please contact me for details on im1973@hotmail.co.uk many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

ian

25/11/2012

Evening sportsfans!! not alot to report to be fair with the weather playing havoc today & tomorrows a/w card at southwell already falling foul of the eliments.we've got a selection but wether the meeting goes ahead is another matter!! :-(

RIFLEMAN 3.20 LUDLOW (NAP)

Richard lee's veteran has dropped to a favourable mark here & more importantly handles testing going which is going to be vital tomorrow.he was runner-up on three occasions this year off a higher mark before struggling at a higher level but he did show signs of resurgance last time out & we'll take him to carry on the stables good recent run of form.
3pts e/w @ 9/1 (paddy power)

like i said it's a very quite time at the minute & theres not alot else i can get excited about tomorrow to be honest.the #teamchoochoo trading club had a great day saturday & we have now grown our bank by nearly 50% in the first month!! :-) anyone requiring information on this innovative idea please contact me on im1973@hotmail.co.uk for details.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

many thanks for following... :-)

23/11/2012

Evening sportsfans!!! we're back after 24 hours off & i think i might just have found us a little bit of value for tomorrow...

VICTORY GUNNER 3.40 HAYDOCK (NAP)

now at first look the first thing you think is that at the age of 14 he'll be over the hill but i'm prepared to give him one last throw of the dice tomorrow.the one thing that is gauranteed is that he won't mind the going as i think it's going to turn into an absolute bog & you'll probably see them strung out all over lancashire at the death to be honest.he also stays the trip well & he is on a winning mark all be it nearly a year ago so the three together make him massive value imo

2pts e/w @ 33/1 (widely available)

again we find ourselves with small fields & not alot of value to be honest even for a saturday.i must admit i haven't covered the a/w cards yet & if i stumble across anything i'll do a blog update.the one thing that i will be taking on tomorrow is long run in the betfair chase,i cant believe how short he is to be honest & i cant help but feel that this one might have his glory days behind him to be honest.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

21/11/2012

Evening sportsfans!! all smiles here at mallard towers after todays NB goes in advised at 8/1 on here last night!! :-) we then had two finish fourth at big prices so quite a fruitful day all told...

ENDEAVOUR 3.40 MARKET RASEN (NAP)

well it's only taken til thursday to find a decent NH selection guys but hopefully it will be worth it.the jumps scene has been woeful at best so far this week but i'm quite happy to get stuck into diane sayers gelding tomorrow as he comes here on a winning mark & more importantly goes back in a C5 for only the second time since that win.the other run was last time out & we can forgive him that as i dont think he stays 20f to be honest.
4pts e/w @ 9/1 (bet365)

FANTASY GLADIATOR 5.40 KEMPTON (NB)

this lad looks on a decent mark to me & i cant believe how big he is in the betting to be honest.he was only beaten around 2l off a 4lb higher mark three runs back over C&D and with graham lee taking the ride tomorrow i think he's massive value to be honest.he's now dropped to a mark 4lb below his last turf winning one & off bottom weight tomorrow could well give the market leaders plenty to think about on a course where he has three wins to his name.
3pts e/w @ 25/1 (bet victor)

now then followers we're going to go a bit leftfield here as i've had a request from a very respected member of the twitteratti @bigtamthebam_12.a friend of his has a little boy with F.O.P. which was recently brought to light by a channel 4 documentary titled "the human mannequin".they are trying to raise £125k for much needed research & anybody who can help please go to fopaction.co.uk for donation details how ever large or small it all makes a difference. :-) many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

20/11/2012

Evening sportsfans!!! well you just don't get any closer than today guys,the nap getting chinned literally on the line at a massive s.p. of 20/1 & the other two selections ran absolute blinders at big prices but both just missed the frame but i certainly wouldn't lose faith with either selection to be honest when they next appear.at first glance again tomorrow the NH scene looks worse than dreadful so we'll stick to the a/w in our quest for riches..

CATIVO CAVALLINO 1.30 LINGFIELD (NAP)

we go back to a previous nap to do us a favour tomorrow with this ultra consistent gelding.his record in C6 events round lingfield reads..1-1-1-4-2-3-4-3 and he was running on well last time when he was placed for us at a tasty 16/1.now i know we won't get anything like that price tomorrow but he should still be a backable price & he also drops another pound in the handicap tomorrow which is always helpful!! :-)
4pts win @ 9/2 (bet365)

STORM RUNNER 2.00 LINGFIELD (NB)

george margarson's runner comes here a pound below his last winning mark & can get back to winning ways.he hasn't been totally disgraced since & has run a couple of decent races in defeat off higher marks & the booking of graham lee also catches my eye.
3pts e/w @ 8/1 (bet365)

SEEK THE FAIR LAND 2.30 LINGFIELD

now there is a bit of a leap of faith involved with this one but at likely odds is well worth a second look to be honest.he's on a winning mark but is drawn out in the car park so i'll be keeping stakes to a minimum but hopefully he can repay our faith.
2pts e/w @ 25/1 (ladbrokes)

KAMES PARK 3.30 LINGFIELD

Richard guests veteran is now 2lb below his last winning mark & can regain the winning thread here.he's been primarily campaigned at a slightly higher level than this & the drop in grade can make all the difference tomorrow fingers crossed!! :-)
2pts e/w @ 12/1 (bet365)

1pt e/w lucky 15 (all 4 selections)

like i said in the intro the NH card's tomorrow look woeful at best so touchwood the a/w can throw us up a decent return.the #teamchoochoo trading club continues to build up a head of steam as we had two 2nd's today both @ 20/1 to give us yet another profitable day.anyone wishing to get involved please e-mail me on im1973@hotmail.co.uk for details.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

19/11/2012

Evening sportsfans!! bitter disappointment todays nap to be honest & i'm not sure that i didn't misjudge the going in all fairness.no excuses from these quarters though & i've decided to have a good go at the a/w tomorrow so here are my thoughts...

DUNASKIN 12.20 SOUTHWELL (NAP)

i think i'm going to give richard guests veteran one last chance tomorrow now he goes over 12f.he's now dropped to a rock bottom mark & wasn't totally disgraced last time out over 14f,a trip which i dont think he stays.southwell really is a specialists track & theres not many in this that can boast track form although my good friend @glennphil2010 has put up honest strike,who has at least won on the track & if ever he's going to win another race then surely this must be it but i'm sticking with dunaskin to do us a favour & get the day off to a flyer for #teamchoochoo.
3pts e/w @ 16/1

STEEL CITY BOY 12.50 SOUTHWELL (NB)

now we've got to take a bit of a leap of faith with this one but at the price i think is well worth it as i dont think it's coincidence that he's re-united with apprentice george challoner for the first time since there win over this track in december last year.now that day he went off a mark of 54 with young george claiming 5lb,tomorrow he goes off 56 with george claiming 7lb...do the math!! :-)
2pts e/w @ 16/1

MULLINS WAY 3.20 SOUTHWELL

Jo hughes' charge has dropped to a seriously dangerous mark here & on some of his form could pick these up & carry them to be honest.it is imperative that you watch the market with this one as miss hughes is the partner of southwell "legend" paul blockley,who was warned off not that many years ago & the stable do like a punt.on breeding he should relish the surface & this is the lowest grade he's faced to date so if the stable are ever going to have it off with this one then tomorrows the day in my opinion.
2pts e/w @ 33/1

tomorrows jumps cards at first sight resemble a dingley point to point to be honest,pretty low grade dreadful stuff,in fact thats a diservice to dingley as i've spent many a bank holiday monday at the leicestershire track & thoroughly enjoyed it.the #teamchoochoo trading club is really gathering pace at a rate of knots at the minute with boa landing the odds today @ a massive 25/1 for the club!! anyone wanting details please e-mail me on im1973@hotmail.co.uk & i'll be happy to help.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

18/11/2012

Evening sportsfans!! nothing to get excited about today guys,in fact if anything a bit of a let down to be honest.i'm not sure wether the nap had a much harder race than first thought last week so i'm going to reserve judgement for another day on that one so onto tomorrow and here are my thoughts...

SHADOWS LENGTHEN 2.40 LEICESTER (NAP)

having already had a pipe opener this season i think i'm going to be playing quite heavy on this one tomorrow.he comes here back on his last winning mark & could still be open to a bit of improvement to be honest as he's only a 6-y-o & jake greenall gets on particularly well with him & his 5lb claim can be invaluable.if it comes up soft i may have a few reservations as i'm not sure he's as effective with some give underfoot but i'll monitor the weather throughout the day & touchwood it will be an half decent surface for us.

5pts e/w @ 9/1 (paddy power)

a very quite start to the weeks racing i think although i do like the look of BOA & WARFARE on the a/w at wolverhampton.the #teamchoochoo trading club got back in the winning groove today & i have to say the first week has been a success seeing us add over 20% to our starting bank.anyone requiring information please e-mail me on im1973@hotmail.co.uk & i'll forward the details.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money & happy punting!! :-)

Evening sportsfans!! well the one thing i didn't anticipate today was heavy going which pretty much put paid to the nap before the off in all fairness but to be honest on decent ground i don't think he'd of been good enough as the winner was pretty impressive in my eyes & i think that will be the last time you see him in a handicap for a while.here are tomorrows thoughts...

PROSPECT WELLS 2.50 CHELTENHAM (NAP)

with ruby walsh over in ireland to ride hurricane fly i think it can do this one a favour as he now has the stables very capable 7lb claimer harry derham on board & i think the claim can tip the scales in his favour.he did win on soft ground at chantilly when trained by andre fabre in his younger days & usually when they describe it as soft over there its normally hock deep so the ground shouldn't pose any problems.on saying that though he's by the all conquering sire saddlers wells so he could quite well improve if anything on bottomless ground.on form lines with forecast favourite darlan i think he has the beating of the nicky henderson inmate & with the added bonus of a solid re-appearance last saturday he should be primed & spot on for this tomorrow.
4pts e/w @ 8/1 (william hill)

it will be all eyes on cheltenham tomorrow with the return of nicky hendersons stable star sprinter sacre but his participation must be in doubt with forecast weather conditions.i must admit i'm a flat man myself rather than NH but not since watching desert orchid back in the late eighties & early nineties has something made my hair stand on end like this one does when he takes to the track & will surely be contesting for major honours this term.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!!! :-)

Evening sportsfans!! well we might of hit the crossbar the day before but we nailed the bullseye today!! :-) swing bill going off a mammoth 16/1 s.p. to reward followers after a few tough weeks i have to admit.enough wallowing & onto tomorrows thoughts...

POQUELIN 2.35 CHELTENHAM (NAP)

Paul nicholls' grand stayer can draw first blood for team ditcheat in the first big handicap of the season.he ran well for along time on his seasonal re-appearance over an inadequate 3m at ascot a fortnight ago & that will have put him spot on for this.harry derhams claim is also a massive bonus as he's a more than capable big race pilot in my opinion.he won a G2 off a 7lb higher mark over C&D back in april last year & whilst that was a while ago there's every reason to believe he can get involved in this as he has five course wins to his name so clearly loves it here & when you take into consideration his young jockeys claim he hasn't raced off a mark as low as this since december 2009!!
4pts e/w @ 28/1 (paddy power)

well after today's monster haul of over 70pts i would imagine we're in front for the month however i've lost the notes that i was recording the results on so i will have to find time to go through the posts & jot them down again.i have to say i've only done the cheltenham card upto now so keep an eye out for a blog update either later on this evening or early tomorrow.the #teamchoochoo trading club suffered it's first slight setback today however we're still showing over 20% gains on the week.many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always good luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)
