Doubled up in placepot, through scoop6 and another cash winner
The first of many shit betting days for me this week 
How long does it take for PP to pay out on the money back specials?
Quevega to win. EW on Swing Bowler. I've banked the rest of my winnings so this could be the last bet of the day for me.
Doing much better in-running as always. Every year my bets come no where and my in-running flows like a dream
Cock. My online slip is showing Arabella Boy is a non-runner? So now that has changed to a win only on the favourite. If that fecks me over (provided Quevega places) I may cry.
That'll do. The favourites are keeping me in the green. On the other hand, you suck, Swing Bowler.
That has got to be ride of the week.
Got 6 perms up in the placepot. Need Carlito Brigante for the place money in scoop6 now too.
placepot will be over 5 races, the Cross-Country is void, so I've won some money 
Placed a €11 bet, and got back €125. Happy days!

fecking PP site has crashed so I have no idea whether my last bet registered.
What the feck happened to Paddy Power?
Any tips for day 2?
My placepot today is:
Back In Focus
Pont Alexandre
Unioniste
Sprinter Sacre
Hollow Tree
Saphir Du Rheu
put some of my profit from yesterday on it.
:EDIT: I've done a second one, but with not alot on it.
Tofino Bay
Rule The World
Houblon Des Obeaux
Sprinter Sacre
Master Of The Sea
Blood Cotil
Back In Focus
Pont Alexandre
Unioniste
Sprinter Sacre
Hollow Tree
Saphir Du Rheu

These are not tips as they are my picks. You'd have to be a mental to follow them. If yesterday is anything to go by it will be three wins and three losses.
1:30 Godsmejudge
2:05 Pont Alexandre
2:40 Unioniste
3:20 Sprinter Sacre
4:00 Master of the Sea
4:40 Bordoni
Not difficult to work out where two of those three wins will come from.
Of course I'll most likely be throwing any money I make on long EW bets throughout the day anyway. They've hooked me.

Id a poor day yesterday. Had a 50/1 2nd. fecking Quevega. Had a great winner in the first in Wolverhampton which helped.
Ah well can hardly complain....another day in the pub beckons...

Had a poor day also yesterday
In the 2.05 I have hot fav Pont Alexandre in a couple of doubles at 11/4 but he's short now. He should win and The New One is my idea of a future star in the chasing game. I'll be backing him for the RSA next season.
In the 2.40 I've been on Boston Bob for a while and he's still backable at 5/1. He's a stayer pure and simple and the 3m will really suit him today. He's overpriced because Ruby has chosen Unioniste instead. That doesn't bother me as he has barely sat on the selection in the run up to the race and as a staying chaser Boston Bob is hardly going to work on the gallops like a Frankel is he.
Sprinter Sacre is obv nailed on in the Queen Mother.
The 4.00 is extremely difficult but I like Barbatos each way (5places) at 20/1. He's only had the one run this season on unsuitably deep ground and his form last year (where he ran well against Fingal Bay and Simonsig) gives him a shout.
Back to yesterday, the Supreme was a superb renewal and Jezki especially caught my eye with his run. He stumbled over the last and didn't have a perfect prep for the race having not run since Dec so a 20/1 quote from the sponsors for next year's Champion Hurdle were out of line. Hurricane Fly will be 10 by the time that comes around so we'll be crowning a new champion.

Thats a v interesting shout on Jetski Nearco...loved the way he jumped in the main yesterday...
I've done another L15 on Mr Ando's first four. Also done a double on Unioniste and Pont Alexandre.
Pipe says Budy Bolero is his second best chance of the week, the best coes Friday.
just uploaded this myself - go forth and multiply

Covered myself with Back In Focus. Another strong finish from a favourite.
Don't eat yellow snow. But that's a good tip for any day, not just day 2.
Very bad start to the day for me.
No cover bets for my next three. Gotta be some good times there.
I knew that one
No idea what I'm doing on the ponies, but I know I've won a few quid on Back in Focus.
If Pont Alexandre wins now it's steak for tea for the next 5 years
Good start for me there, sweet.
This is the race the day hangs on. If Pont Alexandre fails it's squeaky bum time.
Oh, that has absolutely ruined my day. No obvious recovery from here without going massive on Sprinter Sacre.
My 2 place pot bets hanging in.
I haven't lost anything yet despite Point Alexandre not winning. Don't know whether to spunk what I have left on on the favourite in the next race before I go to work. Can't say I'll be that arsed if I lose it all
Annoyed with that. Still got a treble, three doubles and three singles hanging on, and regarding the each way everything's still on. Need Sacre and Unioniste to win though to make anything out of this day.
If Sprinter Sacre fails I'm going to need to find a tree to hang from.
As for this next one, I'm all at sea. Gotta stick with Unioniste.

Come on Unioniste or you're going in my burgers.
Well that was shite. Looks like I've got a horse to murder.
Coulda been worse, s'pose. At least my money wasn't on Boston Bob. I'd already be swinging if that had cost me.
Cock. My day is done!
