        • I'm already getting plenty of stick off my mates, who (maybe correctly) point out that she is a better punter than myself. If recent form is anything to go by then they are right!

                    Get her to do two months of form studying, watching replays, reading preview evening reports and get her to write down 28 winners then leave her would be my advice....

                    • To be fair it's great so many women are interested in racing but Cheltenham, and its' 65k spectators, is hard work if you have a wife in high heels hanging off your arm

                          • I remember a few years ago , I took my Daughter to work with me , gave her a Racing post to read, and later that day, we went to Lingfield races , She had the first 4 winners then a 3rd , while i, eventually got a winner in the fifth race. she did very nicely that day I seem to recall.

                            • My main bets for the Nash are:Vincente & Pleasant Company. Small bets: Thunder & Roses & Bishops Road.
                              I have to say I'm not that confident so have staked accordingly. Not a meeting I'm mad about.
                              Good luck to all today.

                                She missed out on BOG with Bravery because she placed the bet on Friday night with Corals and BOG only comes into effect on day of race with them - that'll cost £10k+ if HL wins, which has annoyed me somewhat!
                                Go on the LODGE !!!!!!!!!,
