In support of my Wimbledon St Leger bets...

...I've bet the same dogs in their heats tonight; here they are:

2 points win Fabulous Sophie at 1/1 Coral
1 point ew Droopys Leah at 10/1 Coral
1 point ew Dark Hondo at 5/1 Coral
1 point ew Chobham Star at 25/1 Ladbrokes

I had to bet the last one at that price even though I rate it at 12/1 to win the heat. I've bet it mostly because, if by some fluke it won, I would kick myself if I didn't have a bean on it!! So much for form.Eh...

As I haven't much more to put on my blog I thought I might as well put on a snap I took of my tele whilst the William Hill Grand National was on. You will see that it is a picture of the Sky Sports Predictor with the ratings of the dogs.

Now, I always thought that the predictor was probably a computer generated programme using some computer mumbo-jumbo, which I found quite impressive, but I noticed the dogs positions were very like the graph I had produced for my blog.

On taking a closer look, and comparing the predictor ratings of: 99, 89,83 etc with the ratings in the Racing Post...they were exactly the same!

So there you are - you don't have to wait 'expectantly' for Sky Sports to give you a few seconds glance at the predictor (at a time when you probably couldn't get a bet on, anyway) you just have to buy a Racing Post; or better still read it in the bookies for nothing...!!

Come racing!!
