Ana my only boyfriend who became my husband drove singer vogue.

Ana Wed 12-Mar-14 16:50:02

Well, at least he had a car, Galen. None of my boyfriends ever did!

Galen Wed 12-Mar-14 17:06:22

Why else do you think I agreed to go out with him. He had also just graduated and HAD A JOB WITH MONEY grin

Nonu Wed 12-Mar-14 18:21:47

Was watching Cheltenham Festival this afternoon , very entertaining indeed !
however, must remark on how Tania has spruced up , she had on a very fetching yellow jacket, black trousers and a trilby set at rather a jaunty angle !
Looked good , hope she keeps it up !!

You'd be surprised what we get in the Cotswolds Glammanana !

rosesarered Wed 12-Mar-14 19:51:13

mainly rain grin

I've aunts who live in Cirencester. I do like The Cross at Ampney Crucis. Haven't been tree fore a bit.
Don't think it compares with Petes relaix du sports though!

Anne58 Wed 12-Mar-14 21:18:39

If I had had a real bet today, rather than just marking my choices in the paper, I would have been about £28 to the good from £1 each way!

Galen Wed 12-Mar-14 21:41:28

Did you go there! I gather it was a good day. I'd love to go.

Anne58 Thu 13-Mar-14 12:56:43

I did well yesterday, just a shame I didn't actually have a bet on!

I'm not sure I will be able to watch THE race today, might have to hide behind the sofa!

Anne58 Thu 13-Mar-14 12:58:08

No Galen wish I had, I would definitely have had money on!

Nonu Thu 13-Mar-14 13:11:21

Will likely be nerve wracking !
Heyho !

Anne58 Thu 13-Mar-14 14:18:41

McCoy doing well, despite being in obvious pain.

Galen Thu 13-Mar-14 14:20:15

Pete! PETE are you there?

Nonu Thu 13-Mar-14 16:59:59

PHO , well that was a shock result ! still can"t quite believe it !
I think it is the right thing to do , to retire Big Bucks , I thought Paul Nicolls seem a wee bit emotional , still that is to be expected isn"t it ?
It was very nice they paraded him in front of the crowd , his just deserts after all his wins !

Nonu Thu 13-Mar-14 17:05:46

I was very well pleased McCoy brought home Colour Squadron, must have been a hard ride for him . Good on him .
You could see earlier in the dressing room wincing as he was walking .

Anne58 Thu 13-Mar-14 17:29:12

Yes, no disgrace for Annie, she did well. It was Big Buck's lass I felt for, did you she her crying as she led him in?

I wonder if AP will be spending the night in the freezer?

Nonu Thu 13-Mar-14 18:27:57

No I did not see her, AP will have to be icing his back ready for tomorrow ![

Anne58 Thu 13-Mar-14 18:33:59

What do you fancy for tomorrow then Nonu?

Nonu Thu 13-Mar-14 19:01:28

Well till I have studied the racing post in the morning I can"t really say , although I do favour the favorites frankly [wimpy I know} , the way I look at though I would rather win Something , rather than go on complete outsiders and get Nothing.
You set your sites on anything?
Bobsworth has to be worth a look though eh ?

Anne58 Fri 14-Mar-14 11:23:37

My usual formula worked on Whisper the other day, I marked him when he was 20/1. Second last time out, won over the distance (preferably course and distance if possible) reasonable trainer & jockey.

For events other than Cheltenham I sometimes factor in how long since they last ran too.

Anne58 Fri 14-Mar-14 11:24:43

PS Always do each way, so favourites don't always work for me, although I have a friend who consistently backs second favourites.

Nonu Fri 14-Mar-14 11:33:14

get back to you later , not had time to read R.P yet , busy with doctors about Hubby !

glammanana Fri 14-Mar-14 12:01:22

Looking at Cheltenham weather report and it looked very misty indeed but sure to clear for the afternoon,it's the same here and the fog horns have been going all morning on the River.
Nonu hope hubby OK sweetie,will put some Champers on ice in the bar for to-night I've not treated myself for a while and deserve a bit of pampering so will share a tipple with you. grin

Galen Fri 14-Mar-14 12:41:48

shamrock just to try it out!
