I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very short career, skills that make me a know it all🐎

I don't want to alarm anyone but it appears we broke the 9k barrier in the follower department! Thanks again 1 and all for the support! Welcome all new followers! Feel free to engage in the comments I always try to respond to everyone! Lets hope we can continue where we left off!
There's no proper handicap chase over the regular fences that you will see with so many involved between the last two fences. They've just made a complete joke of the race now to appease the unappeasable the game is gone
@sam_angelina22
Nothing wrong with the game here. We see the BHA ruining the sport trying to please those who will never be happy until the sport is gone. Risky game always was always will be. A shame but that's how the game is. Looking for stories where there is none. Long live Irish racing
A 1,2 in the County with Absurde beating Leau Du Sud! Hopefully a few took note of what I said about Paul Townends only handicap ride of the week and he's given it a peach!
6 winners out of 8 races we will take that won't we?

No screenshot unfortunately but who else remembers the peak Blogger moment where he was claiming to be eating a 5 star breakfast think it was the morning after the Arc but was exposed as stealing the picture off of TripAdvisor have to love this place sometimes just magical
Just another winner for the aptly named Flooring Porter in the Guinness Kerry National and called on Monday night with

Great news for Iroko's antepost backers you dont have to wait until March to rip up your docket you can rip it up in November! 1 of the great perks of Antepost betting! Backing losers for March that are gone in November gives you the chance to do your money 3 or 4 more times yet!

Great to make a good start to the week with Slade Steel winning the first! Much the best horse in the race and we play with bookies money early! Get in!
She's only gone and fucking done it! Influential Lady benefits from a great ride off Kieran O'Callaghan sitting off a strong pace and comes and mows down all rivals at a massive 33/1! Get in!

Can't understand why the Aintree Hurdle is priced up as if Impaire Et Passe hasn't run this season. He disgraced himself at the DRF. Couldn't back him with stolen and no way in my mind that he should be fav
At some point this evening we pass the 5,000 follower mark. Thank you each and every single one of your for the follows likes and comments. Anyone who has been following for years will know there will be a mammoth write up to come for Cheltenham in a few weeks. Keep eyes peeled
Official made it! Gone podcast global! Should almost retire at the top now! Thanks

Not been a good day for Jane Mangan on RTV at Naas firstly mixing up the gelding Limestone Lad and the mare Solerina and then claims Noble Yeats won the bumper on this card 3 years ago when in fact the only time he ever ran at Naas was when pulled up in the Grade 3 Novice Chase
It's been an incredible start to 2024 so far for the follower count as I've gone from 4000 ish to 7000!!! Thanks 1 and all for following and engaging with all racing content! Keep an eye out on Sunday for a craic filled pre Cheltenham

And the Oscar for best actor in a short film goes to
@JohnnyDineen
for Upping The Ante!
@DavidJenningsRP
was nominated in the best supporting actor role but didn't collect the prize!
Crisis averted everyone the last few followers to get to 11k have been found alive and well and a few more with them! Great result thanks to all involved!
All I have to say about this show is
@JohnnyDineen
has been the breath of fresh air previews, podcasts and punditry has been crying out for the past couple of years. No airs and graces speaks his mind stands by his opinions and honest as the day is long! Oh and brilliant stories!
@IrishNHTips
You say that all the below have zero chance:
Maximilian
Maskada
Corbetts Cross
Sandor Clegane
Sir Gino
So how about, for every one that wins, you donate £250 to charity.
If none win, I’ll donate £250
Is there anything better than John Mullane on commentary on RTE Radio 1 on waiting for the Munster Hurling Final to start as he reminisces not only about winning his first Munster title in 2002 but having backed Ronaldo to be top goal scorer in and Brazil to win the World Cup!
Anyone tuning into racing from Punchestown today take note of the opening 3yo hurdle. Its often used in recent years to debut a few Grade 1 stars with the likes of Espoir D'Allen and Quilixios. Winners of this normally go on to run in the 3yo hurdle in Down Royal in a few weeks.
May we all just take a moment to reflect on Harry Cobden saying Burdett Road was the best Juvenile he's ever ridden! As I said at the time what good Juvenile has he ever ridden 🫣🤣

The greatest Cheltenham preview/racing promo/ craic filled 2 hours anyone could want! Like I said this morning if you weren't listening in do you even like racing?
Only plausible explanation for me to why
@icyestretro
and Icy Spaces suddenly disappeared mid sentence tonight is CAB have obviously raided the place! There will be a fire sale in Goffs next week and the missus sister will be Lot number 1 and will make more than Caldwell Potter
Luck was on our side today in Galway and we all know it's a hard place to get out infront. 4 winners on the day kicked off by Bubbling 13/8, Lucky Out put up at 7/2 returned 7/4, Reidh put up at 4/1 returned 100/30 and Clear Quartz put up at 20/1 (some 22s about) returned 12/1!
I am delighted to announce that my Cheltenham blog is full of more waffle than ever and after 9 days of putting it together it should be up later today! Normally I would have done 4 separate blogs 1 for each day but in an unusual year I've rolled it all into 1 long painful read!
