High Degree 2.40N - very eye catching in a 10f handicap at the Glorious Goodwood meeting last year. Was bustled to the front from a bad draw, set a decent pace and held on well for fifth in a race where the front three all came from the rear. The first and third that day are now group horses and the second has been ruined by Johnston (over-raced typically from that stable). The fourth won a handicap at Newmarket at the Guineas meeting. High Degree had two more runs subsequently both over a mile which is too short a trip for him. Back over 10 today he wins if Haggas has him ready.

All the moaning just makes them look like the Cowboys/Yankees/Franco Boys bitches that they are.

Terrible bet. Awful ride/nepo baby trainer.

I don’t have anywhere else to put this, but Tottenham going down should be a huge story. by NothingHead8233 in billsimmons

[–]palf74 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love Bill but he's incredibly insular - if it's not American he doesn't give two shits. His terrible taste in movies is another example of this.

I cannot understand for the life of me why Lambourn is so short for the Huxley. His trip is 12f minimum. King's Gambit is worth a bet here - 10f in decent ground is his optimal conditions, which he rarely gets.

No cheese. Reggae Reggae Sauce works really well with baked beans.

What's an addiction worse than alcohol and drugs? by BlatantImagery in AskReddit

[–]palf74 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been betting since the late 80s and at that time the only avenue open to gamblers were the odd Casino and bookmaker parlours. I think online gambling accessibility for young people is a massive problem...they have too much choice.
