Best tip I can give, is get to the paddock before they go out and pick the horse you like the look of, then bet next to nothing on it, this way you get the thrill of winning, but not the disheartenment of loosing too much cash. The latter is enough to may a good cardi boy like me cry.

Easiest to nail the winners . But will have a go for you .

I don't believe in horse racing, I think it's cruel - growing people that small, and then making them wear satin. It's just ridiculous!
