What Ho,
I have just returned from a very splendid 24 hours of quietly understated all-round excellence. I have drunk well, eaten brilliant food, sat in the company of kind and charming friends, been cossetted and pampered, and generally come back feeling loved and needed.
What better way is there to start a New Year?
I shall give you a full report of Raceweb’s annual performance and how, after two complete years, we still have money in the bank from our original 1000-point deposit. We have had thousands of bets over the year, and whilst we haven’t made money, we have lost in such a way that no harm could possibly be ascribed to our hobby – whilst always suggesting that we might yet walk away with a huge pot.
Talking of the triumph of hope over experience… these are my suggestions for today, which I have done in Doubles and Trebles in the hope of being able to walk into the rest of 2024 with an early profit.
