Anyone having a flutter? Or any tips?

V-Neck - Excellent Jumper
Acrylic - Nailed on for a place

Seriously though, I am going for Niche Market for the win and State of Play for a place.

:-D

My top tip is not to bet. Ok say you may only stick £1 on now, but to win your pound back you put more money on the next race. Eventually you will end up spending hundreds of pounds a week in bookies and casinos, trying to win back that lost £1. Eventually you will move into the world of drugs and cheap whores, you will be for ever running from load sharks and bouncers. Is that what you want, 'cause that's what'll 'appen!

Not everyone will go down the path you chose ;-)

Two more horses die for the entertainment of racing fans. The winning jockey is banned for excessive use of the whip and the exhausted winning horse is doused in water and given oxygen immediately after winning the race.
Haven't we got any animal cruelty laws in this country anymore, or are they suspended for this race?
Disgusting.
