There is little to no traffic on the fly and sea fishing sections. I don't think you're going to get going t garner much interest here. Personally, I haven't put a bet on a horse race in 20 years - and that includes the GN.

I have a horse in training with a couple

Of friends withPhilip kirby phil is a customer of mine won 3 times 2nd twice both times he was second he was 14-1 this was over the last year just had his 3 month break and is back to it but the lads would shoot me if I told everybody when he is going to win all I can say is he loves Southwell and seems to revel there .

 

I could allways pm you Martin when he is ready to have a go and maybe hopefully win £

One winner there and thats the bookmaker.

Nor me nor I neither. I've never set foot in a bookmakers shop. Very occasionally I buy a lottery ticket.

We had two Horses with Paul Felgate in the 90's.

 

Highborn & Double Splendour. They Won a dozen or so races apiece & placed many times.

 

We had some great days out, one of the highlights probably with Highborn winning the Queen Elizabeth All Weather Handicap at Wolverhampton in 1996. (from memory) & being presented with a rose bowl by Her Majesty.(I had £50 to win at 7/1)

Both ended up with a rating of 100+ Not bad for horses which cost a mere £3,000 & £4,000 each as unraced 3 yo's.
