Ludlow Race 4 ..Ruby Crown...Whats going on???

Good morning Pirates, this 2 hour time difference catches me.

I did feel that summer cup day was on the upswing,[from an SA perspective] but this was toatally different, would be difficult to compare, for a start no Horse Chestnut, Empress Club or Divine Act, in addition the "jumps" have a different following and Dessie and now possibly Kauto are held as heros over here, the magic of the jumps is difficult to explain

It was just the crowds, the place was packed, but it gave me goosebumps,so I guess we are far away from this? but did have a good feelings when the above local champs were at the track.

What can I say, I try to enjoy life everyday and some are more special than others, and thanks again to the Betfair team, for a day the family will never forget.

Good punting

SCOTIA

Also the day after boxing day 2007

i am the bookmaker in shelly beach my name is clive unsworth and i invite anyone to inspect my field sheets for 21 dec 2011.
i did not operate for ludlow yesterday it was not covered by tellytrack i bet on the following venues only kenilworth happy valley wolverhampton and kempton so i think andy should get his facts right by the way i have been a bookmaker for 23 years here dont think i would still be here if i was what these experts andy and easy have to say about me why dont the two of you come to my rooms at the entrance to the shelly center but i suppose you prefer to take cheap shots from behind your emails and thankyou to rob faux for his comment on my business bookmaking is are hard business and after 23 years i would like to think i treat all my clients with respect and integrity anyone who would like to do business with me can get hold of me on 039 3157247

Just spoke to clive, seems like a nice chap and has invited me for a beer.

on the 30th december 2006 i was in his shop, i backed a horse called limerick boy @ 7/1 when the horse was clearly 10/1 on the screen shot/feed from the uk.

That is a fact, what also appears a fact is that clive is a decent bloke and runs a good business in tough climate. Sadly for him though when betfair finally arrive in sa he and the others will struggle.

Cheers Clive and thanks for the post and make no mistake when I am in the area I will pop in and hope the Clan will do the same (tu)

Clive nice to see a post from a bookie who defends his interests,and who has been around for a long time.I noted that Scotia could pop in sometime,be gauranteed that if he does ever pop in you would be out of spirits.
