A quick trot through today's betting as we've barely got home and got through our Chinese and have Musselburgh tomorrow so we're having...
Ayr Scottish Grand National - 12/4/25 - All The Young Dudes
A delay in getting this out nearly as long as watching Amazon Prime stream via a 1980s copper wire. It's still half time on the telly as...
Aintree/Newcastle 6/4/25 - Let Down/Paranoid Android
Radiohead double header for what was a CairnBet double header and I simply had no other band option this week, as me and the infinitely...
Musselburgh 21/3/25 - Groundhog Day
I may have used this title before but, let's be honest, it would be apt if I had. Though the headline could just as easily have read...
Cheltenham Gold Cup 14/3/25 - Shaking Through
Another year over (and a new one just begun - or at least it will in a couple of weeks for tax purposes...) An awful lot written re crowd...
Cheltenham 13/3/25 - The Times They Are A Changin'
We're always happy to do requests hence the title of this week's blog. And a) it's indicative of our day and b) unsurprisingly it's the...
Cheltenham 12/3/25 - Jimmy, Jimmy
As is the case with festivals, we are on a quick turnaround and it's a case of out of the door at 8am, bet all day, crawl out of the car...
Cheltenham 11/3/25 - Money for Nothing
As is my festival wont, I am writing the preamble the night before so I have no idea, at this point, how we've done. I do know that,...
Newcastle 22/2/24 Fade Out (Again)
Last year we didn't take enough to make this a workable meeting. Newcastle weren't playing that day until 8:00, if I remember rightly, so...
Premierisation Half Term Report - The BHA Bobble
I used to play footy quite a lot in my younger days. I had a mate who played a lot too - great guy, my best man in fact, and, despite...
Musselburgh Student Day 2/2/25 - Filling The Void
I like student days. There, I've said it. I like student days. I totally understand why regular racegoers are less keen and avoid them...
Musselburgh 1/2/25 - Paranoid And(roid)
It's been a month. You forget stuff after a month. God knows how we ever traded that first meeting after Covid if you forget stuff after...
Musselburgh - 1 January 2025 - Like The Weather
The more observant among you will note the complete and utter absence of blogs from Kelso in December. We have, reluctantly (some more...
Newcastle Fighting Fifth 30/11/24 - Laid
Anyone that's seen anything we've posted on Twitter in the last couple of days will know this blog title was 1.01. Great song, though for...
Kelso 9/11/24 - In The Morning
Just when I thought the well was running dry on appropriate song names the BHA come along and give me an absolute gift in the shape 1990s...
Kelso 26/10/24 - Don't Look Back Into The Sun
The Libertines make there long overdue CairnBet bow today in appropriate and, when you get to race 3, highly disappointing fashion. It...
Kelso 6/10/24 - Weezer
Kelso returns along with the onset of man flu, both inevitable with the changing of the seasons and the falling of the leaves. Saturday...
Hamilton 22/9/24 - Don't Talk (Si will listen)
So we don't normally do this fixture but the RBC site (bookmakers' administrator) teased us with the prospect of 750 students on top of...
Musselburgh 14/9/24 - The Rule of 4
Rule 4s are not in the bookmaker's favour. They're just not. Google it. Or ask our friend SD. The deduction never covers the chance of...
