Love the old tales :-) nice to hear the losers too but the winners are best to read :-)

I’ve been going to the derby for over 20 years now so concentrate on that a lot. We had made our mind up that Reference Point and Steve Cauthen were a good thing so backed him accordingly every payday. Come the day he was napped up by all and a very short evens fav on the tissue! We always arrive at between 10 and 11 trains dependant so couldn’t wait to see what was on offer, 11/10 and evens was the best offered so we made our way on to the middle of the course and to cut a long story short one bookie went 6/4 so I badgered him to get better until he offered us 2/1 but the minimum was £500, well we had 2 coach loads and they all wanted some so the book came out and we got £1800 so we added another ton each and the bookie took the £2000 bet, the rest was down to Steve and what an awesome ride from the front :-)

Great stuff GDC I remember Louis Freedmans colt well I had a lovely double on him at 10/1 with

Miesque

at 16/1! Happy days! :lol:
