Is this a good rule?

Have you ever bought a betting system which tells you to look at the horse’s most recent finish position? I bet you have. Heck, if I dove into all the betting systems I’ve seen over the years, I reckon more than 60% of them would have that rule. But is it a good rule? Does the fact that a horse…

The Donkey Ride

When I was young I used to go to Spain with my grandparents, for my summer holidays. One of my favourite day trips was to go up into the mountains and do a donkey ride around Mijas. Back then, I didn’t even know horse racing existed, and if you’d asked me if I thought I could have won a race…

Weekly Eye-catchers – Horse Racing

Last week’s horse racing kind of passed me by as I was down with the winter ‘vomiting’ virus that has been in the news for last few weeks. I have to say it’s the first time I have suffered from a virus like that one and I hope it’s a long time before I do again. Well, at least I…

Did you ever watch the Indiana Jones movies? I love them! In fact, I have a game on the PS4 (yes I still play computer games when I have a moment) which is all about hunting for hidden treasure.
