Any tips on the Kentucky Derby from anyone who follows horse racing?
Do you even care about the Derby on your side of the pond?

....I haven’t seen the race, and I don’t know the detail but I think Kemboy is my favourite horse in training. I went to Aintree when it won, came home and had a sizeable bet (for me) on it for next years Gold Cup.
As for Ruby, my daughter is a big fan and was a junior Dr on duty at Aintree A&E when his horse fell and he broke his arm in the first race the day AP McCoy won the Grand National. My daughter helped set his arm and sat with him and his wife as they cheered McCoy home. I always wondered why he continued so long continually suffering dreadful injuries.
Personally, I think he’s a bit of a miserable sod but he was clearly a great horseman. I wish him well, it’ll be interesting what he does next.

....personally, I know the great horses but Breeders Cup is the big interest. I keep meaning to go, I think @anjelikaferrett went a few years back and loved it.
We watch it. Went to Santa Anita for the Breeders Cup in 2016. It was an amazing experience. Saw the Arrogate California Chrome race. I've asked the other half who is far more into it than me He fancies War On Will - a 20/1 shot at the moment
....plenty of blue on Oddschecker for War of Will. NRNB with a SkyBet (paying first 4) so had a little interest at 20-1. Thanks for that.

I thought that with Dunwoody then along came Ruby. Both masters of the game who made it look so easy.
He says he is not going into training.
Concentrating on his media work.
He is the face of Irish racing on the Racing Channel (formerly Racing UK and which snatched the Irish racing from Sky Racing a.k.a. ATR in controversial fashion) and he writes for the Cork Examiner.
He will also help Willie out...presumably riding out and schooling.

I beg your pardon!
Sorry for putting a football bet in the racing thread, but...
Arsenal to win, BTTS, 5+ match corners and 40+ match booking points at 33/1 is some amazing value, right?
It doesn't say 5+ Arsenal corners. It clearly states MATCH corners. So that bet should be priced at around 6/1 (max) NOT 33/1.
It's on BetStars if anybody wants a bit.

No idea if it’s value or not as I don’t really do football betting, but if it is a mistake then it’ll be palped, and most probably your account restricted
Well, I don't like the sound of that. Do you think I should email them to confirm the bet? As I've got $50 placed on it and deffo don't want my account restricted.
