My horses came in 1st @22/1, 4th and 6th.

Anyone else bet on the gee gee's today?

I saw someone on the telly with a betting slip for the winner. £5000 at 16:1

Nice to have that much to risk

Congratulations on your win. Was it that much?

only £220. Better than a poke in the eye.

I dont bet enough for a 5k win. Bit too serious for me.

I always used to stick a tenner on the most outside chance - 100-1 minimum. I knew it was dead money but nevertheless I enjoyed my yearly gamble. Then one year my horse (pablo's boy I think it was called) was running a fantastic race, 3rd then 2nd and then I believe even 1st, when he was pulled up. In my innocence I was quite pleased - it must be be a good reason and no harm comes to the horse. The tenner was a lost cause anyway.

I must say I was somewhat miffed when my girlfriend at the time, who I may add was seriously into the horse scene, told me it was probably a bookies call to pull the horse. If the horse had won then the bookies would have lost big time.

I'm an outside chance better. I don't expect to win, but if the chance is removed then there's no point. After being told that I never put money on a horse again.

Nevertheless congratulations on your win kevlegs

I thought the bookies liked an outsider to win. They lose lots when the favorite wins. There won't be many smiling bookies this evening.

His was a £5000 stake with an £80K win
