Alan Thomson has put all his eggs in one basket at Southwell on Easter Sunday
Southwell 4.11
SAMMY SUNSHINE (4.11) can make a winning return to Southwell, this time over a longer trip in the 1m 4f handicap.
Ralph Beckett's top weight scored readily here over a mile but is bred to stay middle distances. Kabuto had Space Kid a length adrift in third when chasing home Ladywood here last month and makes a quick reappearance after registering a well-beaten second to Realist at Chelmsford City two days ago.
In December 2020 we sadly 
Got collared by the daughter today, making me put skirting boards down in her house so didn’t see much action…..probably just aswell!!!

Thanks DC. Just looking at the cards myself, I also really like the chances of Royal Illusion in the 3:20. Only got 6/1. BOL
No worries postman needs good ground and I think most would prefer softer conditions.
Hoping Glen’s of Antrim doesn’t win so she will still be a Novice next season and will target the Novice Mares at Cheltenham
Grand Paradis NR
Will go for Gentlemansgame instead
2:26 plumpton – buckos boy 5/2
3:10 market Rasen – Aye aye Charlie – 11/2

2 small duff singles in the US but 2x main singles(*****) and (***) landed and 3/4 in my Yankee will do me nicely,especially after a good day thanks to DC,Deb and Alan T.
First scorer for Villarreal started the proceedings to a a fine days betting. 😉👍🍀🐎⚽️
Last dig and a tough race but at a good price…
R10 Santa Anita…Pray Fir My Honour. 9/2
Bed time!
Could have stuck with jockey frim last race but at 4/5 and a small bet it wasn’t worth it!
2x singles and a double for me..
Echoes in The Rain(sorry to go against use gents)
Gentlemensgame
GL all
Just that horse at Oakland done my Lucky15 from you recoba still nearly doubled my money.
It had to be the race I couldn’t watch lol can you watch Oakland?
Yeah Windmill… it ran a stinker but my others that didn’t make the cut lost anyway so was destined for 3/4.
You can watch Oaklawn on Bet365,they show every meeting and have prices up the earliest too.
Added El Bara at Plumpton for a Trixie.
*Fairyhouse 1.50.
Not Plumpton
Sad to see Richard Johnson retire on Saturday, how many winners would he have got if Mccoy hadn’t dominated with pipe down the years, mind you 3800 winners not a bad haul and glad he hung around to win the jockeys championship.
His win on native river in the 2018 gold cup will never leave me, probable in the top 3 best races I’ve seen, 2 horses neck and neck the whole way round and so glad he won that battle.
Testament to a great jockey and a thoroughly decent bloke that he chose a Hobbs horse to bow out on as Hobbs has been loyal to johnson for a long time.
Enjoy your retirement #legend 🏇🏇🏇
Good write up Elvis👍, Johnson was runner up to McCoy 16 times in champion jockey, I’m glad he won it in later years, his hard work did pay off in the end!
Am surprised Elvis he didnt wait until Aintree and possibly go out after Native River.
You can see at his age why hes going his main stable seem to be in a sharp decline and hes not getting any younger.
Great to see him retiring on his terms though fit & healthy 👏👏
As Elvis said great jockey and decent bloke As his timing proved said he had announced this now rather than the end of the season as he didnt want his his retirement to overshadow who ever became champion jockey. true champion.
Jeans maite 11-4 win
Red allure 1-00 southwell 15-8 top 4 finish (Paddy power).
It’s 12-1 sp right now which looks big considering his recent course form.
—————————————————————————–
Makalu 1-36 southwell 6-4.
Already had a run so maybe experience will count, always betting against the unknown when most haven’t seen a racecourse so won’t be lumping on.
——————————————————————————-
En coeur 1-56 plumpton 3-1.
Finished 2nd and 1st on his last 2 runs here.
Ran shit at Leicester last time out though.
———————————————————-
Diego de charmil 3-26 plumpton 7-2.
Drops in class and will enjoy the drying ground.
Natural history is the danger if he has got over his last effort in a better race and gets a weight pull.
——————————————————————————-
Sauce of life 4-15 market rasen 6-4.

Ew pick
Politicise 4-05 cork 25-1 ew 5 places (Paddy power)

Couple of nice winners there Elvis . Looks like a right bookies day today in general lucky we got you on boArd to keep us all afloat as well as plug today I got one more to go but I won’t hold my breath haha
SKYACE
ONLY 9/2
8/1 last night.
all the money coming for Skyace probably because of what the shark said at a press conference yesterday He ,Said Skyace will be his first grade 1 winner ,that’s what i was told ,i didn’t see it myself. .Like dc i was putting down wooden floors in my daughter’s house missed all the racing. too. Skyace have improved since Cheltenham so hopefully she will bring her A game to the track today .Skyace holds a lot of these on Cheltenham form, and Atlantic fairy wont like the ground. so best of luck if any of you back her.
IRISH NATIONAL
THE BIG DOG 10/1
The last time J .Codd was down to this weight was 17 years ago ,Tip in its self
On the big dog at 16s theplug 👍
Best of luck plug , I’ll be on that one 🤞
Hope you used a multi tool round the doorways haha 😂
My Uncle asked me to put Atlantic Fairy on for him and I’ve went with him at 4/1 ThePlug!
Nothing major anyway on my end but he had a few crackers yesterday.
Best of luck
Great stuff the plug!! 👍
Well done plug good work again 👍
Nice one plug…..they’re getting some return from that horse
Congratulations, that is some horse you have. Proud day for your owners 👍
Cracking shout bud 👍
Just watched a video on Twitter of the owners watching sky ace winning absolutely brilliant to watch
Nice one plug
Cork 2.30 Petit Mouchour 10/11
I know it’s short but hopefully at the weights this is just a point, shout & score job to double your money.
On ratings and form it’s a 2 horse race and Bapaume is all wrong.
PM is rated 1 pound higher than Bapaume who carries a 5 pound penalty + cracking young jockey Jordan gainford takes off 7 pound makes in my eyes Petit very well in after his great 2nd at Cheltenham. Distance & ground also spot on.
This looks his easiest race in donkeys 👍
African dance 1.20 mourne mist 2.00 ew giovanni change 2.10 ew exit poll 4.25 well done all winners yesterday

Morning all. Well done to all the winners yesterday. Plinth 4.05 Cork 66/1 and 28/1 down to 7th place. I know he’s 11 now but he’s dropped in trip and has won at the course, he’s also on a good mark. Worth a ew punt GL
Fancy anything on The Gatechecker – 16:35 Cork
Got to be worth an E/W punt haha!
Big well done to anyone who made it pay yesterday

Final answer?”
Will you take the swap?”
Go get yer balls and attack dat wall!”
Double is now a Trixie and cheers to Azz for letting me know African Dance is out I near missed it and I’ve changed to it from El Barra.
Just as well nobody follows me for these races! 😂
And just as well you’ve these options online,probably end up nowhere although more confident now we’re my money’s placed which is the main thing.
African Dance..1.20. 15/8
Echoes of Rain…2.50 5/2
Gentlemansgame..3.50. 7/4(**** single placed last night before Grand Paradis pulled out but now 6/4 for my Trixie)
Also went in a few £s with my Uncles shout Atlantic Fairy 3.20 at 4/1
GL
Pi$$ start I can see El Barra winning now! Lol
An El Barra does and then Echoes Of Rain(very impressive) romps home! 🤦🏾
Went full R-Tard with changing my Trixie there but single at 5/2 takes the sting out of it a touch with another to go.
£43 my 75p Trixie was returning so it could have been worse I’m usually a minimum of £1.50 or more but still somehow talked myself out it??
GL all and here’s hoping with my 3rd.
Horse they named after me just won at Plumpton 40/1
Im off in garden with a beer glorious day make the most of it.
GL ALL
Stinking after 2 glorious days up west of Scotland Busstop enjoy ya lucky duck!
Before I look what was the horse called A Total ……
😉
Should of checked your post time I knew that result,with African Dance getting humped in it!
40/1… Very handsome!
General Panic
southwell
ew
Easy work 👍✅💰
Nicely done bud 👍
thx ewt can pick em sometimes!!
had the first 3 at southwell with my scattergun tactics but not necessarily in the right bet or order as per the morecambe and wise sketch !!
bol
Triple Jaye @ 11/1 ew
Going to be a tough day at the office me thinks haha 😂
Looks like a follow Willie Mullins couple of days again, that’s three horses so far have won in a canter!!
You would nt want to bet against the old maestro!
Seriously impressive from Echoes in Rain.
Thedevilscoachman was rotten
Sure was,glad I stuck with that pick at least and Gentlemansgame at 10/11 now.
GL rest of the day
3:20 Fairyhouse- brave way 40/1
JAZZ LEGEND

Outofthegloom
Skyace
Boooooooooooooom
Happy Easter everyone
Lovely when a plan comes together , nice work thanks for sharing with the thread 👍
Plug Big well done, fine tìpping👍
Crap from Gentlemansgame there??
Gamine the machine out tonight at Santa Anita in the US at a backable 1/9! 😂
Skybet go 3/1 to win by 5l over 6F?
Does happen in the US and if pushed out as expected as he’s building towards Kentucky after The Breeders Cup he could do but it’ll be a small wager just to watch and see how he goes.
Good shout ThePlug especially getting 8/1!
I’m going with ..
Asterion Forlonge in the 5.00 at 2/1
still worries me jump wise so nothing major but is the best horse.
Few from Cheltenham look tired as noted last year?
4:31 plumpton- kilganer Queen 22/1 on the nose with this one for all the eggs ! 😁
QUARRY GIRL
(4 – 4 – 1 – 5 – 6)
won in february for me at big odds so owes me nothing
😄
Going to jump back overseas where I had a bit of luck at the start of the day
Gulfstream
Race 2 – Maureen loves frank – 11/4
Race 5 – wild cat west – 11/4
Race – 6 – big band luzziann – 3/1
Race – 7- spinning kitten – 4/1
4 winners for you there boys and girls 😁
Going to back Maureen Loves Frank mate GL
Went with my Uncle on Atlantic Fairy at 4/1 for a couple of £s but did I go with him on Jungle Junction at 12/1? Course I didn’t! 🤦🏾😂
He’s an in shop old school man so I’ve became his bookie over the last 2 month as he refuses to open his own accounts (fair enough,it’s no sweat) and he had a 12/1 yesterday and that above today plus Joelinton first scorer today fir Newcastle at 12/1 too!
Both scudded that Moreno Gérard for Villarreal yesterday but getting a hat trick he’s one to watch th lads on fire (all in the name) an yes it’s football but i know most in here do both!
Although these days I hardly touch the football…crazy results at times!
Happy Easter all n enjoy the rest of your day!
Been a good Easter weekend for most I’d say.
It’s all fun and games recoba . Win or lose I love it all 😁
No arguments there Dazzman! 👍
Good watching in between ‘Simpsons Movie’ I don’t think I’ve seen since it cam out and going to crack a beer after I pick my US horses.
Maybe before 🤔 lol
Grease is on mind at 5:55 Chanel 4 haha 😂. Shame the pubs ain’t open yet but I think they will be crazy to begin with when they do . One of my locals has the racing channel on the big screen on all day which is a added bonus even if you do want to Chuck your pint at the screen sometimes haha 😂
Lol . Grease’ again!
Yeah we’ve a pub a very up to date one that buckled to the auld boys pressure and they get Racing UK and ATR on 2 screens in a wee bit nice corner.
Good to sit n talk horses with them on a Friday after work and sometimes even take some plaudits. 😉
Be back soon mate I’m sure but like the last time will I need to shout at them 2 tables away?
I’ve had it but this crap wae C-19 passports sounds crazy but pubs aren’t part off it?
Good!
Marsac would have got off to a winning start at Gulfstream but at 4/7 it’s a no bet and opened at a best 4/6 👎
So usual Yankee and 2x singles all well spread out and I’ll be lucky to make my main bet Lol
Alarm on I think?
Gulfstream-R3…Flying Black. 9/4(***)
R8…Shakeem 7/2
Santa Anita -R8…Kelani Kim 7/4.
Golden Gate – R8….Maggies Dream(*****) 6/4
GL all and Santa Anita R3 fit Gamine is worth a watch 🇺🇸🐎
GL all
Barry guy on ATR has just bunged his tips up and likes Flying Black(***)
Guys good at times as unlike the other fella at times he will back a favourite rather than name the winner but back against it fir value?
That’s not to say he doesn’t come up with a few.
2 from 2 for that barry bloke (atr)
!!!
Didn’t even notice,yeah he’s good.
First was a PK but as I said at least he backed it and says it’s a short price but it’s the clear pick.
An here’s hoping he’s 3/3 after the next.
Louisiana Downs-R1…Lucky Blue. 3/1(*)
Tight race but I’ll take £4 on it with trainer doing very well with horses in there 2nd run.
So I’m reading.
One of they rapid 1f races that are good to watch but big betting would skin you ASAP I’d say.
About 8 horses in a row there fir 2nd! 😂
Crazy ass racing that!
Good old seconditus ! You don’t mind when it’s a 30/1 e/w or something haha 😂
4 out of 5 main bets win, 3 wins and a place only winner.
2 each way picks pretty awful, that’s why they 33-1 and 66-1 😁.
Good day overall though.
PLUG
loved your skyace tip and write up 👍🏇.
And the price of course …
Living the dream Elvis !
Lengthen the odds Skybet…
Santa Anita-R2…Gamine to win by 3L or more EVS(**)
Will win less it’s been eating cheeseburgers lastv3 months but by how much is up to the Jockey,it’s a run that’s needed so hopefully pushes it out.
5l at 3/1 is a bit much fir a 5F race but it wouldn’t put it past him. Trainers runs the top 2 horses.
An that’s the last..Few beers on the agenda!
GL
They been feeding it Easter eggs today so I would watch out 😁
Chocolate is that not good for horses ,much like dogs?
Gulfstream -R7. Digital Footprint. 9/2.
good price for a horse finishing like a train on it’s last run after a Wesley of a start.
Neve mind the *s it’s £4 for me in a tough race but I can’t leave him out
Wild Cat West wins Dazzman I see well done at a nice price. 👍
An Gamine 1/14 now!! 😮
Thought it was a repeat of last run with Digital Footprint (frustrating as) but well done that jockey.
Looks and acts the machine Gamine!
That could have easily been 5l at 3/1 and could have been more if Vazquez even gave him a squeeze but definitely 3l at EVS….easy $s
And well done you with digital footprint supprised you went for one that big a price haha 😂 think I might quite before I give to much back . Let’s see what torment and tears 2 Moro will bring !!! Ha
