My first ever trip to this event yesterday.  I really enjoyed it.  Great weather, great atmosphere, great craic and it wasn't too packed.  I have never scrutinized details about horses before to such an extent and I don't know why I did as I hadn't a clue what I was looking for.  I opted to go with "expert opinions" for the first few races...no joy at all.  I then went for the more fruitful decision to put each way bets on jockeys in claret and blue.  The day gave me a loss of £70, I was expecting far worse.

I will go again next year. 

Does that mean you bet on Buena Vista yesterday ?

Well if there is anything I've learnt this week it's that I know fuck all about Horse Racing.

32 horses picked this week - 2 winners.
