I thought Kelly was a decent CB, a has more pace than the others i know he picked up a knock but was on the bench most of time before that

I'd go with this Tomkins and Cahill. Thought he was ok after obvious error. Knows when to launch it/put it out. Got to work with what we've got and we need to settle on a pair. Obvious risk is injury.

Tompkins has a horse running tomorrow in Riyadh called Rohaan it has a chance I took 15/2. A bit of a fun bet I hope its not as fragile as its owner.

I remember back in 1997 & 1998 the fantastically named Selhurstparkflyer trained by Jack Berry winning the Wokingham two years running. I was on both times at 25-1 and 20-1 at modest stakes of a fiver each way.

Unfortunately Tompkins horse finished nowhere so I lost the bet. Edited by Badger11 (27 Feb 2022 12.31pm)

I I had a tenner each way on that 1997 win but had managed to get him at 33/1... I was 18 at the time so thought all my Xmases had cone at once with that win!!
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

Note it was a race on derby day not THE DERBY.

The horse also ran in the six furlong handicap at Epsom on Derby day a couple of weeks before. I think it was Derby day in 98 (I was there) that it p!ssed up in that race as well at odds of about 9-1. I stupidly backed something else and felt as sick as dog watching it lead from start to finish. A couple of Chelsea supporting mates had backed it and were battering me which made it ten times worse.

Blimey this thread has brought back memories. I was at Epsom that day and had £1 ew Yankee on a 9/2 winner of the first, High Rise at 20/1 who won the Derby another winner at 6/1 who’s name I forget. The last race was where SelhurstPark Flyer won. I unfortunately had back my mates uncles horse Go Hever Golf as 20/1. It of course came nowhere whereas SHP Flyer lead the whole race. I won just over a grand, but it Go Hever Golf had won it would have been over 25 grand, and if I had stuck SelhurstPark Flyer in it would have been over 12 grand. What might have been.

I don't follow the gee gees, but I'm sure I remember all this happening on the same day in 1996:- The Derby Not necessarily in order of importance!
