Never been to the races before. Should be a good do.

Its ladys evening apparently, so at least there will be lots to look at! Even if its daft hats.

But more to the point is there any good tips from people who know more than me about Horse Racing. Which isnt hard

Yea - however much money you take you will spend (unless you have a big win) beware!

Just as work expands to fill the time available, bets expand to fill the races available.

As for tips, if anyone tells you they know what they're talking about they probably don't - go with your gut!

My post from RAWK - am off there tonight with work

My picks for Chester tonight - some horrible races out there to find the winners in (one or two definite 'stick a pin in it' jobs) but from my reading of the RP:

6.30 Feelin Irie
7.00 Invincible Force
7.30 Gallery Girl
8.00 Vale of Belvoir/Frisky Talk (unsure on this one)
8.30 Stotsfold NAP
9.00 Aahgowangowan NB

Will be doing the odd reverse forecast bet as well, so would throw in Safranine in the 9.00, Flying Clarets in the 8.30, Just Joey in the 7.00 and Mahrajaan in the 6.30.

Either way, it's all about the fun and the beer and the sunshine (of which we will have plenty) so I'm not that fussed if I don't win!

These aren't hard and fast, naturally, as I'll be having a look at the markets, and of course any withdrawals will shape things. The last two races, obviously, are the ones I feel more confident on, given I've saved my NAP and NB for them

There's not going to be much each-way value there tonight as most of the races are under 8 runners, so perhaps reverse-forecasts are the way to go (so check those prices on the Tote). It's all odds-dependent, as I might see better value elsewhere than my picks above, but hey, it's all fun

Oh, and if you even consider betting on Shaydreambeliever in the 5th then you need your bumps feeling!

Can't beat Chester in the summer for drunk slappers and cleavage.

Well I hope you were following me later on - can't grumble at having the winner in the last three races. Was pissed off that I didn't go and do the reverse forecast in the last, but I was half-pissed and the tote was too far away for me to be bothered!

Ah well, after buying all my ale, my food, a night out in town and a taxi home I ended up the night even, so can't really grumble

I got Aah gowangowan didn't bet in the fifth, lost all the other miserably.

I didnt bother with each way bets as the odds were so low. But in the end that would've more than broke me even. Instead i went home with -£15

Well done on your win/s
