Rushed, garbled message;

Everybody's raving about Notability.

Beckermet and Westbrook are said to be solid contenders
in the 3.00.

Hello JIB,
Top draw from the Racing Post.
Low to middle tend to enjoy a distinct and often crucial edge

Where the winner came from.

Low stalls 1-3 62%

Middle 3-4 33%

High 8-10 5%

Very difficult to argue with those stats although the winner last year was drawn 7 of 15.

Westbrook Blue Won 15/2

Bond City 3rd

A 16/1 winner and a 15/2 winner from 2 races rated that is what I have had but of course I have dutched on both of the races.

Well done Gummy

I never backed Westbrook blue,Stuck with beckermet

I haven't looked in for ages but well done with this gummy

Well done Gummy - lead the way!!

Bloody hell what are all these people doing here.
I hope you all took your shoes off before entering this holy place.

I think everybody feels at home here in this land of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Investor and Ectoo walk out at least once a week, but they can't seem to stay away for long.

Actually, some good priced winners and placers posted PRE-RACE again today.

That must have put the cat among the pigeons!
( no reference to your goodself, Tuppeny).

Would the other VDW experts put up a nice little boxed presentation like Gummie's, please?
I reckon that's a great approach myself.

Well so far a profitable one in any case, welldone Gummy.

I've always said that the bugger "Dutched"

Without using all the tools though you are missing parts of the jigsaw, no one can afford to miss pieces because even with ALL of them it's still hard, with pieces missing, very bloody hard.

Ectoo,

The other day you suggested I should read a few of the threads on TRF. Today I was doing just that when I found the above, I thought it was a very good piece of advice. The strange thing is it was written by you, that in it's self isn't strange as much of what you say makes a lot of sense. However, I must ask why you can't/won't see this applies to VDW as well?

Be Lucky

Mtoto

For us ignorrent clowns - whoo - wat - werr - is - TRF ????

It's The Racing Forum here http://www.theracingforum.co.uk/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi

Well that is one hell of a shock from that site,Rico or Peter hunter who is a member of this site has passed away,So sad

Fkn hell, Rab!

I didn't realise phunter was Rico!

RIP.

TRF, like Gummies, is a good site and the lads there have been helpful to Rico's family. He was a great poster.

I think they want to name a race in his honour/memory.

Small world sometimes. And a cruel one.

I also only knew Rico as Rico and didn't know he was P Hunter I think he ran the Trainers 4 Courses website.
A big and sad loss for both Forums.
The thread about Rico can be found here
http://www.theracingforum.co.uk/cgi-bin/ikonboard/topic.cgi?forum=15&topic=7178

I have started a thread on the General Horse Racing Discussion Forum concerning Rico.
Could members please post about Rico on that thread.

Life goes on I suppose.

Here are the VDW ratings for todays 1.30 at Chester http://www.bettingboots.org/van_der.htm

This looks a very difficult race but I will be dutching on the 3 with the smallest stake on Bishops Court because of it's terrible draw.

I have'nt really looked at that race Gummy but the fav looks ok
