In the early parts of this blog, I code named bookies with
women out of FHM’s Top 100 sexiest women of 2011. Why? Well, initially it was
to avoid giving away the bookie I was targeting, though in hindsight that made
no sense and the evolved reason was for the banter. Ordinarily I’d never be
able to write ‘I slammed Marrisa Miller today’ or ‘Rosie Huntingdon continues to
dish it out to me’, but code names meant I could! All it really meant was I was
taking more money from Paddy Power and Bet365 respectively. The combination of similar
words also meant the blog was visited by web users looking for some stud farm
footage.
I’m sacking off the hot chicks and focusing on business. This
week I took a MASSIVE step to being banned by William Hill. They are
restricting every bet I make to only returning around £60. Why? Well, of the
stonking £8,500 I made this week, Willhill coughed up £7,000. So, I’m now into the
final phases of completing this bizarre undertaking; most want to avoid being
banned by a bookmaker…
The Goodwood Festival is always littered with bad luck
stories and there were plenty again this week. Human greed means, that despite
my mini victories I still feel frustrated with some of the results. With the Olympics on I’m not
going to spend priceless minutes summarising the week but there are a few things
to call out. Johnston is clearly The Glorious Goodwood training hero. Hughes is
clearly the Glorious Goodwood jockey hero, although watch out for Darren Egan;
bright future ahead of him. The Fugue is now clearly the top middle distance
3yr old filly, and surprised the Arc isn’t on the agenda? Aljamaaheer is definitely
one to back next time out. Motivado was worth backing for the Ebor at 20/1, and
thankfully I did. And finally, Frankel always has been but further cemented his
place as untouchable. There’s a great article in the RP today describing why
perfection is not enough for Frankel anymore.
How insanely well are GB doing?! 18 golds. Amazing. And
Bolt. Why I ever doubted him! Lightening. Imagine, Frankel (roughly 42.5mph) vs
Bolt (roughly 27.3mph) over 200m. Now there’s a gameshow. Human v Horse.
