Weekly Eye-Catchers – Horse Racing
It was certainly the case of famine rather than feast on the horse racing front last week. The action won’t live long in the memory. That said a bit of famine can give you the hunger for more top class betting action and for the rest of the month it’s going to be non-stop racing. It all starts this weekend…

Ebor Handicap Trends
For some reason as a child, the Ebor was my favourite race. Maybe it was because the great Sea Pigeon won the race in 1979. I don’t know? It’s a race I have had a bit of luck in recently too with three winners since 2011. Let’s hope that can continue in this year’s renewal. Since 2009 there have been…

The Big Mac of Bets
McDonald’s was started in 1937 but didn’t start becoming the global success it is today until 1965. Ray Croc, who used to sell the milkshake machines that McDonald’s used, bought the company off the family who started it in 1961, with a vision to make it the USA’s number one fast food chain.

Who wants a 12/1 winner?
Anyone for a 12/1 winner? OK, how about a 7/1 winner? If you’d been part of the Eycatchers revolution last month, you could have picked up both. As well as a whole bunch more! And probably banked an impressive old sum of ÂŁÂŁÂŁs. I’m booking a holiday at the moment and those two big wins have filled up the fund no end. Well, this week…

The log flume of doom
We went to a Center Parc yesterday, and it’s the first time I’ve been in a log flume since I was a kid. The one that freaked me out the most is the one which is small and you have to cross your arms and legs because it goes so fast. It’s not the speed that freaks me out, it’s…
