As you probably know different people have different problems depending on which browser they use. In my case I use Firefox and don't get the spell checker with my "tools". So is it a software problem or a problem with the browser you use ? Frankly I haven't a clue, what I am sure of now is I much prefer the old forum:cry:

So as usual great racing, a few nice winners and the bookies took a bashing though not from me, at least not at Ascot ! Chris

Bonkers:D

A decent Saturday, nice winner for Frankie at Haydock with the well backed Ezdeyaad returning at 11/4 and a sneaky "after tip" for me in Ocean of Peace, lucky . Sorry:D Who needs tipping services, my email inbox is inundated by them Cheers, Chris

Not quite such good prices but 2 winners for me in I'm A Dreamer and That'll Do Nicely who won in very good style ensured I made a small profit which for Saturday is most unusual. Typically these were the 2 horses I didn't post any analysis on Back to the mundane tomorrow though still have the Saturday evening racing to catch up on though just Prince Of Sorrento and Ocean Of Peace going for me tonight.

Yes Duncan ran well as expected but also as expected Harbinger an easy winner so going ew paid off, should have done the forecast ! Martyr also rewarded ew support but aside from the obvious Harbinger it was hard to find winners despite going very close, Society Rock......if only Chris

Ah memories, I have pm's going back 3 years!

It is faster, at least on my non steam-driven PC TBH !

In fairness it takes some getting used to and writing posts when you are taking quotes from elsewhere can be a problem as the quote appears exactly as the original, showing things in bold type, different colours etc, which you may not want and I don't believe used to happen Even the size of the quote may need to be adjusted so it takes longer than before though fair enough the facility to alter colour, font, bold type is there of course.

It's got it's own thread now !!

The point as made by Dune is a word repeating itself having only been typed once though fair to say the original post as it appears now and as quoted DOESN'T show interested twice! So that may be a red herring and Dune may be going doolaley but I do get the point even if the evidence doesn't actually support it !!

Indeed, I'll buy you a crate Smart move on my part, nice tip on your part. Oh and Suited and Booted as well !! Chris

Very sad, RIP Andy.

Oh good, someone noticed

Ok Frankie since I'm by no means sure about the 2.30 I'm relying on you to get me off to a flyer in the ATR tipping challenge Duncan and Noverre to Go we both like so I have a glimmer of hope! 14:30 Chesham Stakes (Listed) 15 points to win on Zaidan at SP 15:05 Hardwicke Stakes (Group 2) 15 points to win on Duncan at 13.5/1 15:50 Golden Jubilee Stakes (British Leg Of The Global Sprint Challenge) (Group 1) 20 points to win on Showcasing at 7.6/1 16:25 Wokingham Stakes (Heritage Handicap) 10 points to win on Noverre To Go at 16.5/1 17:00 Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes (Handicap) 20 points to win on Martyr at 10/1 17:35 Queen Alexandra Stakes 20 points to win on Sentry Duty at SP Good luck to me ! Chris

Haha, thanks Frankie. As is clear to see I'm back and crazier than ever ! Wretched PC ! Good luck today, Chris

Just one winner on Friday in Lillie Langtry plus ew return on Kingdom of Fife, no selections at all on Thursday as I was busy messing around with my PC/Internet Connection Sadly I'm back for what I expect to be the normal Saturday rubbish so might as well use some rubbish idea to help with selections ! 2.30 Not a great start though at least only 13 though that totally blows my plan to go for stall 14 if in doubt which will certainly appear later. So as 1+4 clearly equals 5 then stall 5 it is and Eskimo for AP O'Brien is by no means without a chance with Ryan Moore on board. However, I really like King Torus who created a good impression on Leicester debut, green initially but then staying on powerfully to score by 5 lengths. Should stay 7f and no surprise to see him on the premises in this stronger race. So King Torus @ 100/30 Eskimo ew @ 10/1 ( Stall 14 plan revised) 3.05 Again no stall 14. Harbinger could be a class apart but at odds on Duncan may be the value call at 12/1 generally though I got 16's on Ladbrokes early doors. Very consistent type who looked like winning on seasonal debut but hung slightly. William Buick is a jockey I like a lot and Duncan seems sure to run a good race as always. Harbinger to win Next best Duncan ew @12/1. 3.50 Another very trappy race but Showcasing is a horse I like and since he is in stall 7 I can simply divide 14 by 2 ( rather than go for the rag in 14 Balthazars Gift) and eureka I have it! So: Showcasing @ 8/1 ( stall14 plan re-revised version) 4.25 Noverre to Go ew@16/1/ Damien (Stall 14 plan) ew @ 25/1 Nooooooo, it gets worse ! A 29 horse cavalry charge, sticking to my plan and backing stall 14 the unlucky horse this time is......Damien at 25/1. Not totally without hope for the Hills partnership it must be said. However, just a tad of analysis points me towards Noverre To Go. There is only one natural front runner present, despite the size of the field. However there is plenty of prominent early pace drawn high and Noverre To Go looks likely to go well from stall 27. He has improved with every outing this season and, although five pound higher than for winning at Newmarket last time out, the runner up went very close in the Buckingham Palace here yesterday. The selection has seen the backside of Medicean Man on a couple of occasions this season but he is better drawn than that rival today. Noverre To Go ew@ 16/1 Next best (Stall14 plan) Damien ew @20/1 5.00 I hardly dare look to see what this race has in store, could it be lucky stall 14 again ? It may have to be, Shamali too short at 3/1 but Becausewecan who has little chance anyway at 33/1 is in stall 14 so instead I'll go for 2 in stalls 11 and 17 which of course is 14 x 2 so that leads to : Martyr ew @ 10/1 Mystery Star ew @ 14/1- lucky price ( Stall 14 re-re-revised plan ) 5.35 Finally......I really don't want to look. Reckon this is almost certain to be another minefield. Lol, Star of Pompey at 500/1 ! It's stall 14 time again which leads to the excellent Baddam, another 33/1 winner looms ! But really I can't be backing seriously that so I'll go for number 14 on the card which leads to a decent bet in Sentry duty. So: Sentry Duty @ 5/1 ( Stall 14 revised again plan ) Baddam ( Stall 14 plan, though 50p ew only!) Good luck all, go lucky 14 ! Chris

Crazy Chris is back after an enforced absence, was only able to use Internet Cafe so no time to post. Had a good few days so I'm thinking not to post on here but hey ho here I go Newm 14:45 Top Bid @ 5/1 : Takes a step back up in grade after winning at Nottingham over five furlongs last time out. That followed an easy win over six furlongs at Hamilton on his reappearance and he has obviously returned in very good heart. Had a six week break to freshen him up and he was originally assessed higher than this as a three year old. Looks worth siding with in his current form and with the yard continuing in decent form. Newm15:20 Im A Dreamer @5/2 Newm 15:55 Magical Macey@7/1 Ran better than his finishing position suggests in the Reg Griffin at York last time out where he was forced to race wide of the main action. Reverts back to five furlongs over which he was an impressive winner in his penultimate race at Doncaster. Races from five pound higher here but has the potential to improve further and may not need to find too much more to get involved. Represents last years winning stable. Ayr 17:45 Thatll Do Nicely @9/4 19:20 Back Prince Of Sorrento@ 7/1 : Only been seen six times and showed a reasonable level of form in his first four outings, all on the polytrack. He started off this season on the turf at Sandown and, after finishing last, produced a much better performance at Newbury last time out, where he only gave way late on. Down another two pounds he could come on again for those two outings and it's likely there's better to come. Could be suited by a return to a tight turning track. Good luck, Chris

A couple more at Kempton tonight. 8.10 Hurricane Spirit ew @8/1 8.40 Saute @ 9/2

Ok, my fancies for Day 2. Nothing ultra strong but here goes : 2.30 Red Jazz ew@15/2 Shakesperean small saver @4/1: Barry Hills won the Jersey Stakes 12 months ago with Ouqba and has claims of doing so again with his representative RED JAZZ, who was a good second to Field Of Dream in the King Charles II Stakes at Newmarket last month, and he can go one better today, making the most of the weight that he receives from Free Judgement and Shakespearean though I have had a small saver on the latter who looks sure to go well under Frankie Dettori. 3.05 Strawberrydaiquiri @ 4/1 : Progressive grey filly needs to improve to take the spoils in the Group 2 Windsor Forest Stakes but the word from Sir Michael Stoute’s Freemason Lodge yard is that Strawberrydaiquiri is champion jockey Ryan Moore’s best bet of the week! 3.50 Twice Over @11/2 : In truth not a race I can really find anything strong. Byword might well be tough to beat but Twice Over finished 4th in this race last year and might well improve on that. Really one for the ATR tipping challenge! 4.25 Mull of Killough ew @ 16/1/ Lovelace ew @25/1: No way, no how do I expect to find the winner of this race but unfortunately for Mull of Killough and Lovelace my pin picked them out. That said the track should suit Mull of Killough and the Spearing stable are at least finding some form. Pleased to see Hugh Taylor is using the same pin and has gone for Lovelace also but at least the 25's are still available at Ladbrokes and Bet 365. Ballarce Nov is another who is not without a chance at 25/1 and just for good measure I'll throw in Riggins at 14/1 who is a talented horse though not sure the trip will suit. 5.00 Meow @9/2/Swiss Dreams ew @10/1 : Meow might give the Irish something to shout about. Showed promise on debut before winning last time out albeit in a very poor race. However, may well still be progressive and likely to go well. David Elsworth has produced a few surprise winners over the years and lo and behold runs Swiss Dream here. Significant reports of a special juvenille were forthcoming about the selection long before the season began and any losses ( due mainly to a bad draw at Windsor ) were more than repaid at the 2nd time of asking. Was some ridiculous price on the exchanges overnight ( 36/1 I think) but 10/1 still looks a fair price. 5.35 Sweet Sonnet ew@14/1 : Having finished 3rd last time out on her reappearance this Godolphin filly may well go close in the very capable hands of Frankie. Good luck all ! Chris

Kempton tonight : 7.10 Buffet NAP : Not a great price, 6/4 at Skybet but looks to have every chance in the hands of Kieron Fallon. Highly progressive horse, Mawaddah for the Hannon/Hughes combination may pose the biggest threat.
