We start by skipping forward to the betting around race 4. A couple of issues with card machine and we were in "cash only" mode. The...

Evening meeting for us which always coincides with the start of The Fringe and, similarly, always coincides with a minimum half hour...

Family Fun Day at Musselburgh where the queue for the (free) ice cream generally outstrips the queue for the betting by a factor of 200...

"50+ man with light beard". Might be the happiest moment of the year, including Poniros being a skinner in the Triumph Hurdle. Simon, you...

After Friday's 4 race misery we looked forward to busier times today. 4 races in on Friday night and we'd barely laid 100 bets in total...

Not often we reference a film in the title but it's Tuesday as I write and, given what actually happened was 3 days ago, I appreciate...

It's Sunday, I'm still in jetlagged mode from spending 8 hours a day standing up in 30 degree heat on a tin tray when the only 30 degree...

The second in our Easter double header and, after the apathy of the betting on Good Friday we were expecting better things on Easter...

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...

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...

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...

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...
