I merely meant Your Majesty that one seemed to be saying that one had been backing big priced winners, but making the announcement after the equines had won ie backfitting.

Your Majesty is surely aware of this phenonemon on the various Newsgroups concerning The Sport of My Husbands for example:

I hereby state that I indeed wagered 100guineas on Hoof Hearted and it verily romped home at 16/1. I do agree my fellow gambling men, that maybe I should have posted this before the race... but I care not, for I am now a deal richer and only back winners. ;)

Aye..there was this bloke on The NG that used to do it all the time..posting his selections after the f**kin races!! Always saying that they were before...but it was a problem with the servers clock or summat.

Howvever... I do commend thee on some astute picks over the last weeks, and I agree with you...f**k laying and all that Over/Under Plus/Minus shite.

Might have a few others just on the nod depending on how they do, probably the Racing Post Trophy at Donny.

They're not really tips, although I do quite fancy Whispering Gallery. Lanfranco would be riding him but he's at Doncaster so Disaster is on board.

Cheventon is second favourite (at 10's!) behind the well fancied Harry Patch (4's) but he got up really well under Dale Swift to win his last one a short time ago. The Racing Post reckons its too high in the weights and too slow a starter to beat Harry Patch - what'da them chancers know!

    • Sadly, the ticket map below screams rear 5 blocks not on sale or never have been on sale. Especially when you look at the blue blocks with rows of unsold tickets.   And I say all of this as a big fan of Muse.  
    • Personally, I don't think there will be any changes to the queuing system in place for the 2025 sale.  GFL will be aware that true bots are a risk, but they may also see large collectives of organised folks running multiple devices, containers or profiles to get an advantage as bots themselves, and then struggle to know where to draw the line without penalising folks who are simply more on the ball than others.   They will also be acutely aware that engineering tech to close those gaps will cost, and therefore eat into the money they are able to pass to the Charities, without passing those costs on to punters in the ticket price, which they will be cautious of doing especially after a 2 year break and the inevitable media coverage that will get.   This may all be naive and overly trusting of me though.....
    • went to their album launch show last night at the george tavern. it was fantastic! absolutely roasting in there though
    • I got mine yesterday but they sent the wrong ticket link, so had to email Ticketmaster and get the right one.    As for predictions, hard to see who else could do the Pulp/Sting/Byrne slot other than the Cure, and since they did Isle of Wight they maybe have an FR deal (Sting did both). It’s also the Cure’s 50th next year so imagine they’ll be doing a bigger tour. Pet Shop Boys or Kylie maybe?   Wolf Alice would be a dream. It’ll probably all be men again though. 
    • Probably a couple of months yet....last ticket sale announcement was 10th October 2024.
