A week to go... what do you do?

I always hope Segal hasn't picked something I have backed, whereas I do place value on Kealy's opinion.

This. I get depressed if I see Segal has picked one of mine, it means I've got it wrong. Like Javert last Saturday.

Haha this. He is a joke and an unprofitable tipster. I despise his attitude towards why he finds tipping more difficult.
 
Which days are significant this week regarding entries? Is there a 7 day entry stage or is it 5 days?
 
Lads, how do you delete a post? I know you can edit but I can’t see how you completely delete a post but I’ve seen others do it? I’ve posted some nonsense or posts I’ve found the answer too straight after but my post remains?? The FFP is one, I didn’t realise it was the At the Races podcast I’ve been listening too for years until straight after posting but my post remains!’
 
Book a holiday in the sun for a week.Opps already done that :highly_amused:
 
I'm not as excited as previous years, and I can't figure why?

I had a bad year 2 years ago where I only had three winners all week (at an amazing 7/4, 7/2 & 2/1) which massively dented my confidence. Last year was fine without being incredible, but I went two days and I just felt....nervous during every race? Couldn't enjoy the spectacle at all until afterwards (perhaps cos Blow by Blow and Le Prezien were nice ways to round off the week).

Right now, I've a decent position in the graded races on the ones I fancy. A lot of multiples that I don't have a great deal of hope for.

I've then got a warchest for the handicaps (keeping stakes low as I have a fetid record in them), gaultstats and the betting guide and will attack with some final singles, trixies and through the card life changers each evening.

Now to decide what wine to get in and what I'll have for lunch each day
 
Need to settle down and do some work :grumpy:
