Monday 7th May - Bank Holiday Bonanza

Morning, what a weekend huh? I don't think there is any doubt about it, that was my worst weekend ever tipping/betting. I actually left Newmarket with nothing but shrapnel in the pockets! Don't panic though it didn't all go to the bookies, the bars and foodstands got their fair share. Mrs B managed to back Izzi Top, my biggest mistake was my plan to dutch the Godolphin pair in the 500, in the paddock I favoured Kailani over Lacily, but on route to post Kailani travelled like a shit and even dumped Mickael off up the top, so Guy being a clever dick placed all his money on Lacily!!! It was a decent day out though, I enjoy the races. The only sour point was the loss of Gray Pearl, it became quite an eerie atmosphere. I saw Charles Hills and his wife shortly after the race, I didn't speak to them, they don't know me, they were discussing with another couple, I was eavesdropping. They were absolutely distraught, my greatest condolences go out to them. Anyway we have to move on. Before you stake too big today just remember the old adage that Bank Holiday racing is just Monday racing in a nice dress and heels. The card at the Curragh is nice. I won't wax into why I've chosen my selecs today as there are a lot, I might tweet a few if i have time, I probably will, the bookies aren't hugely busy on bank holidays, it looks pretty bright out today so the wives will probably wield the whips.

No TREBLE today.
