That is very moving Bert.
I'm backing the nag too now.
It will be like him carrying an extra 2 stone though.

NotBert Fri Dec 27, 2013 10:29 pm

Tidal Bay is an ornery fucker, Tone. He'd run well just to piss you off...

NotBert Sun Dec 29, 2013 1:44 am

Well, small win for place money but fuck me, I was ready to blub like a baby approaching the last three. Not a fan of a jockey giving away ground on heavy going (you can give weight, you can't give ground) and had he been slightly handier a mile out, well, who knows.

You won't see many 13 year olds with a live shot at the National but if he stays in training, I have no qualms about going back to that well.

Guest Sun Dec 29, 2013 10:37 am

I forgot to back him.

NotBert Sun Dec 29, 2013 5:21 pm

Get it back at Aintree, Tone

NotBert Sat Mar 15, 2014 2:38 pm

Only posting this because of standout prices with, of all people, Ladbrokes

Lord of Scotland 25/1 2.55 Kemp Pulled up lame in running, travelling well when going wrong Mad

Emperor's Choice 16/1 3.50 Utt Beaten a way out, ground probably quicker than expected/noted

EW singles, half stake EW double, highly speculative but 16s and 11s elsewhere

NotBert Sat Apr 12, 2014 1:00 pm

Speculative fancy EW singles and double today

Charles Camoin 330 Nby
Tidal Bay 350 Ayr

Both upwards of 16s

NotBert Sat Apr 12, 2014 11:56 pm

6th and 7th in big field handicaps. FML

NotBert Sat Apr 19, 2014 1:01 pm

Two today

Cloudy Too 2.05 Haydock - good enough to run in a Gold Cup, down in class today and should go well, welter burden or not.
Frasers Hill 3.30 Kempton - against some hardened types but Varian is a master at getting a horse with problems back and competitive. Been gelded which although bad for the horse tends to change its demeanour

Usual singles, quarter stakes EW double. Have a fancy for Hold Court in the 2.40 as well

Petit Robin 3.10 Asc 25s is huge 2nd, 25/1
Falcon Island 3.40 Asc by Turtle Island, should be less inconvenienced by the ground TO COME
Bakbenscher 1.45 Hay 100% (3/3) on heavy ground, liked its comeback, discounting last run back at 2m 4f WINS 4/1, was 5s at posting
Cannington Brook 2.15 Hay to repeat last year's win WINS 9/2 was 5s at posting

EW Lucky 15 and EW singles at 5x Lucky 15 unit stake

Cause of Causes up top of the weights at Fairyhouse in the Irish National today. Ran well without getting there at Cheltenham, going further today with better handling, have taken this over Goonyella, the horse that missed its run by one at Aintree. Cause of Causes it is.

That would have been a fucking bet and a half even without the last runner, still a fair sketch running on

Absolute cunt of a ride IMO. Finished twelfth having not given up the back of the field to anyone. Big field staying handicaps are all the same; you can give away weight but you can't give away ground. They run for four and a half miles around Aintree and your winner is never found in the back half of the field all the way round. The Scottish National is usually won by some fucking thing that seems to deny all odds and is in the front 4 all the way. The Irish National is no different. Sitting at the back and hoping you're riding Pegasus is never going to cut it. Melt.

NotBert Sat May 10, 2014 3:07 pm

On a fucking awful streak at the minute - if I threw my hat in the floor I'd fucking miss. With that in mind

Swing Bowler 3.30 Hay
Loving Spirit 3.50 Asc

10s or so and 12s or so. Usual staking

Swing Bowler 3.30 Hay - 5th of 13 runners
Loving Spirit 3.50 Asc - 23rd of 25 runners

NotBert Sat May 10, 2014 11:52 pm

Swing Bowler got a cunt of a ride from a cunt of an apprentice (Mikey Ennis is not well thought of and for good reason - you can give anything away except ground, especially on the soft, and he gave the fucking back up for no-one)

Loving Spirit was beaten a fucking mile out. It was over 7f. You can smell my current run from wherever you are in the world.

Two sprinters today

Barkston Ash 2.05 Hay
Kingsgate Native 2.40 Hay

Usual stakes. I like Chatez on the same card later as well

NotBert Sat May 24, 2014 2:10 pm

Barkston Ash second, up the fucking near rail and twatting the two that went with it when the action was on the far. FFS

Two places at better than Evs a place and doubled and a 7/1 winner mentioned in despatches.

Have had worse days

Guest Sun May 25, 2014 1:09 am

NotBert Mon May 26, 2014 2:03 pm

Ennistown 4.15 Redc
Rebecca's Choice 4.30 Cart

Usual stipulations but have bit of an itch today that these will both drop in. 13/2 and 9/2 guaranteed

NotBert Mon May 26, 2014 8:03 pm

Rebecca's Choice a second, never having got to the front running Jurisdiction.
Ennistown sat out back, mild effort and stunk out Redcar, which is a particularly good trick as the place reeks, apparently.
