the doktor better be right cos i've just lumped every penny* in my online betting account on it...

*all 148 of them

Dom recommends not travelling anywhere in or near Cheltenham this week, but he has no choice due to current contract being located there. 3 hours to get to work? Lovely.

doktor spiggy, you owe me £1.48

The most sensible betting tip I ever heard was "keep your money in your wallet"

I did say sensible, not useful.

It's like those adverts you used to see; "Cut your electricity bills to zero! Send us £10 and we'll show you how!"

You sent off your tenner and got a little leaflet which said, "Phone up the electricity board and ask them to cut you off"

It would work in theory, but no-one would actually do it.

So, is The DoKtor sat in a pub laughing at his jolly jape or drowning his sorrows?

I just don't see the appeal. The whole "sport" (if that is the right word) revolves around gambling, there is next to zero spectator value for those who aren't gamblers - blink 'n' you miss it.

I have nothing against "Horse Racing" on the flat but when fences are involved, in particular the "Grand National" its just plain "Sick"

Horse's actually "die" at these sort of "sporting events" - perhaps its a deal between Dog/Cat Food producers and The "Insurance" industry

So have a flutter or ignore it. I tend towards the latter, because I prefer bets that win me some money.

Prefer greyhound racing anyway. The races are over more quickly, the atmosphere at your average dogtrack is less up itself and no-one gets upset if you bet with tiny stakes. See you at Romford sometime.

isn't there enough to worry about in this f**ked-up world of ours without whining on about the odd dumb horse falling over a fence and taking a bullet in the head to alleviate its suffering? if only we treated our fellow man with such compassion...

Possibly not enough bullets in the world...

Nothing against horse racing on the flat? Yet this sanctamonious one towards NH? You want to do some research on how many horses are disposed of on the Flat Racing scene. I would actually wager there's as many shot in flat races as in NH racing.

There is nothing more exhilerating than watching an animal at speed whether it be a horse, dog or whatever. These horses are generally pampered and treated like kings (there's far too much money at stake not to do so).

There's more horses that DON'T die jumping at speed.

I jumped at speed once. Knocked the bloody table over. Wasn't popular.
