Hi
The Uncouth if you do want a flavour of what to expect then you can easily watch older versions on youtube.
was there ever talk of bigger priced horses that weren't mentioned in the same breath but thought to have a chance.(off camera talk).
This is precisely what I wanted to know and made up mind about going.The first time i went, Richard Johnson was very popular with the crowd as the previous year he had tipped up a big price winner.

An excellent adage and resulting template for us all. I especially liked the advice " Practice the ones that appeal to you ".You would be better off though developing your own method of selection and plenty of examples,on the forum how to learn to fish for yourself.
there is a saying “Give a man a fish and it will feed him for that day, but teach a man to fish for himself and he will be able to feed himself for life”
Learn to fish by reading the methods that members arrive at their selections, practice the ones that appeal to you. Fairly soon you will be selecting your own bets and then you can pay it forward and teach others to fish for themselves
I find this aspect the most important - depending how you go into it and what you want out of it - its a complicated thing at its best - the experts make it look easy but that's because they have practised over and over - when I add something new it takes time to integrate it into the existing and even now If I leave of for a week or so the first couple of races I am still trying to catch up on what I have done and thought previously - not having the librarian or clerk type of mind - I need notes to remind myself but that's never going to happen - got loads of old spread sheets that have records of winners and losers on them. but cannot now fathom what I was actually scoring them on - good reason for recording all in profiling type of way and posting them to be reread as and if required .Practice
There is a lot to be said for that Mark. I hate coming back to spreadsheets that have been working 'hands free' for a long time and having to re-learn/understand how they work before I can make changes to add something new to them.good reason for recording all in profiling type of way and posting them to be reread as and if required
I often email my self for same reason the record is always there - laziness really the old clerks can find all on card index in quick timeThere is a lot to be said for that Mark.
