When I first started frequenting the bookies as a 16 year old the first thing the old guys told me was never back Eddery's horses each way! That was when Dettori was starting as an apprentice for Luca Cumani!

….really enjoyed this Derby commentary from Oisin Murphy, great sportsmanship given he was ‘jocked off’ the winner.

Yes mate.
The switch back to Towcester I didn’t expect to be fair. The early rounds were murder betting wise, and i punted some odds on shots that would have made @Eggs wince.

You backed anything ?

My lad got them last week, just a bit of a heads up if you're buying a ticket off someone ,he had to fill a covid form in for him and his mates might be a problem if you Don't get the tickets directly

I have never backed horses, but in the office back in the 1960's, I used to listen to the guys who did. There was one jockey, can't remember his name, who they reckoned had the strongest forearms in the country. They say that he once 'fell off' his horse when leading and getting near the winning post. Very popular with owners who wanted to give their horse a run out but improve their odds for a bigger race.
