Funshine in the snow!

A great winner from Tipping Legends at Southwell today with Mr Funshine, given at 20/1 but it was down to 16s by the time I got on. A last-gasp penalty for Lens meant a win for Football Elite as well, which was a real bonus.

It could have been even better if Equine Investments' tip, Jackie Kiely, had managed to get its nose in front in the 2.25.

Feeling a bit worse for wear today after a heavy night out last night. Ended up at the casino, where I managed to slowly and steadily build up a nice tidy 100 quid in over an hour at the roulette table, only to then lose it all, and another 150, in about ten minutes. Its incredible how often that happens. My mate and I were discussing why it is that you seem to either make a slight profit, which takes ages, or lose the whole bloody lot very quickly at the casino. A strange game.

Still, happy with today's efforts and those of the last few days, which have seen some of the dire losses from early December being slowly eeked back. Looks like that's it for racing for a few days now. See you later and merry christmas!
