Royal Ascot 19/6/24 - Sale of the Century
A rather splendid curry at the Gurkha Chef means I've got about 10 minutes to write this before I crash. Brevity is good for the soul...
Royal Ascot 18/6/24 - Chaos Theory
I'm writing this preamble on Monday night so I have no idea how we've done but I do know what's happened on the trip down. We dropped off...
Hexham 15/6/24 - Meat is (Comedy) Murder
Firstly I'm not a vegetarian or vegan. So why the odd title? Well, firstly, it's a cracking album and if you're tempted to tell me The...
Perth 9/6/24 - Don't Go Back To Perth(ville)
Another blog, another mangled 1980s REM album track. Gold Cup Day which has always been a strong betting meeting. The predicted crowd was...
Hamilton 2/6/24 - Finest Workhorse
This was the final of our triple header of early season Hamilton jaunts which were all something of a reconnaissance mission. First two...
Musselburgh 1/6/24 - Dunno
Quick turnaround from Musselburgh today to Hamilton tomorrow so it'll be a quick trot through the betting action before I,...
Kelso 26/5/24 - CTRL, ALT, DEL and start again...
So the short lived Sunday evening experiment has been shelved. Interestingly because of a lack of increase in betting turnover-...
Hamilton 17/5/23 - It's The End Of The Card As We Know It
I know. I'm plagiarising myself. I've used this song title before but it seems apt today and it's a truly fantastic tune. In fact, I do...
Perth 16/5/24 - Lazarus
I appreciate that, nominally, you're here for the betting blog but, really, I know you're here for the latest instalment of the CairnBet...
Hamilton 5/5/24 - Slight Return
Where did we go? Thinking back we've not been at Hamilton since Covid I don't think. I mean, I've passed through it on the M74 but the...
Musselburgh 3/5/24 - Chance
Our 3 day (semi) epic jaunt through 3 meetings which are all marginal calls for one reason or another starts at Musselburgh on a Friday...
Perth 26/4/24 - And The Beat Goes On
I know you are only reading this to see how the big CairnBet v Pinno Golf Match ended and modesty prevents me from mentioning CairnBet's...
Musselburgh 21/4/24 - It's Oh So Quiet Shhhh
After the busiest day of the Scottish calendar we were back to normality. Or so we thought. Another desperately quiet meeting which was a...
Ayr 20/4/24 - Dreams Stay With You
A quick Kelso catch up from Monday first- apologies for lack of blog. Business dire, though the good news is that our Harry Potter run...
Newcastle 13/4/24 - Why Does It Always Rain On Me?
So here we are after an enforced hiatus as the rain beat down relentlessly, costing us a few meetings, particularly the very good Easter...
Newcastle 29/3/24 - Like The Weather
In deference to a couple of our very favourite bookmakers, we start by revealing where we were hiding when the storm broke after a late...
Newcastle 16/3/24 - The Boss
It's been a long day sorting stuff out so this will be a quick one. And a small homage to a lovely couple we met who read the blog, I...
Cheltenham 15/3/24 - American Idiot
Full disclosure, Green Day didn't do a song called "Exiled Scouser in Rural Perthshire Idiot" but, if they did, that would be today's...
Cheltenham 14/3/24 - There Goes The Fear
The journey home was a dilemma. For 20 minutes I could only come up with "Coward of the County" as the name for today's blog. And the...
