My main bet today is AP in the first, have also stuck a yankee on with 4 of Ferdy Murphy's horses so if he has a good day so will I!

Good luck fellow punters!

Hi Swansea,

Good luck to you for today and to anyone else who's betting.

I can't believe it's Thursday already! I was originally against extending the Festival to 4 days......but I'm glad now, otherwise it would all be over after today.
I was concrned the quality of the racing might be diluted if they had to fill an extra day, but that hasn't seemed to be the case.

Anyway......happy punting everyone! : )

Get in AP, took 9/2 - C'mon Ferdy Murphy now

Lol! I posted on the chat thread at exactly the same time.

Wel done Swansea!

Steveo, I just missed the 5's mate, was that price on the screen but by the time I marked out my other bet it was 9/2 but hey ho a 9/2 winner is good enough for me.
Would love to see Emma lavelle winnin the next but its 33/1, Pause & Clause - not havin a bet

What looked an easier day than Wednesday didnt quite pan out that way.Nice start for Swansea with AP lifting Noble Prince home but Buena Vista and Holmwood Legend at 20s and 25s spoilt the party.Albertas broke my heart again by denying Kalahari once more,think Graeme got a bit far back and slightly outpaced coming down the hill but as usual he stormed home,alas to no avail,placed again.Big Bucks proved himself the best staying hurdler weve seen with a super display,lovely tactical ride by Ruby and hes just class,fullstop.
Didnt have a wager again though i was tempted by KK when he went 7s.As for the info i put up on another thread well the less said about it the better,Ferdys at Hexham was just never going at any stage and our mare disgraced herself by refusing when well clear at the last and bringing down the only challenger--void race.Sorry if you followed it but im only the messenger,i pass on what i hear.
