Sandown, Doncaster and Perth are the venues for today's ITV7, which carries a jackpot of £10K. First leg is the 1.50 at Sandown.

A cursory glance shows there are 4 handicaps within the 7 races, so a Patent or L15 should be attainable.

Got myself a RRobin up with Betfred, last night; Rich Rhythm, Smokey Malone and Cavalry Call. And thanks to the prices changing a tad (took 5s for the first which drifted to 15/2), bet realised £396.

Hoping the luck carries on to today;

1.50 San;  Thunder Wonder @ 7/2

1.58 Don;  Harswell Ruby @ 15/2 - 4 places (£2 win)

2.05 Per;   If Not For Dylan @ 6/1 - 5 places (£2 Win)

2.40 Per;   Heard That @ 13/4 - 4 places

20p L15, 2 x £1 e.w. accas. 4 placed = £32, 4 winners = £2,897.

Done a £2 Trixie on Arabian Crown (7/2), Lead Artist (10/3) and Windlord (5/4) for a poss £170.

Above selections in ITV7 with Windlord omitted from £1 e.w. acca.

Best of luck, all.

Took a screen shot of the bet and have been trying to post it on here (just for the non-believers), to no avail. Yet i managed to do it with an email yesterday?

Couple of decent winners for you there, Togo, and the e.w. acca. Good arrers.

I've also had a little double up (one with the £2 win attached). Just a pity they weren't paying 4 places for the 1.50.

[Ken4155]

Begging yer puddin, Togo. 3 good winners in the e.w. acca and another in your trixie, with Windlord to come.Fingers crossed for you, bud. 🤞

[Togo]

Ooohh  ... close to a big un. Will settle for just under £100 on top of what I have filched in the week. Into the holiday fund it goes. Did you read the Skelton piece in the Sp.Life Ken? I will post the link in case you didnt.

Interesting read, Togo, and i sincerely hope Skelton does it. However, i've just given tomorrow's Sandown card the 'once-over' and in one race, Mullins outnumbers Skelton 4 to 1, and in another, NINE to 1!!!

He's taken the scatter-gun approach again, which was ever so successful in the GN.

[Togo]

Yes I know. I have a feeling that the race going crowd are beginning to view the ploy with a certain amount of disdain. I certainly means that the BHA must be looking again at the entry rules if sportsmanship is not a consideration I would think.

The 2.25 is another example Ken 3 runners to 1 with the first 3 places paying £45.5k, £17k and £8.5k. Can British horse racing afford to let this sort of dosh be bled out of the sport with no commitment from the takers?
