April Results - A full breakdown for April which finished +10.8 Did myself out of points with the switch from here to substack. Everything archived. https://t.co/PaLBhdY2iR

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

Substack not doing it's job again.... Yellow Mission 11-1 2pt win 18:51 Sailsbury.

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

Dontspoilasale goes off 100-1, the yards other runner goes off 66-1 from 18-1, and misses a place by a nk and a hd. Would probably chuck a few quid at both next time, especially the one I stuck up, as they're going to be gambled in the near future imo.

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

A slow month betting wise due to a lot of personal issues, and will be more of the same for a while, but 28-1 up for Windsor.

Kevin Keegan was never aloof, the fans were never a hindrance & he always explained to us what he was trying to do. Thousands of fans knew Kevin from watching training at Maiden Castle, those were special times.

Born in 92, and away from Leeds, that great Newcastle team were the first team that really made me love football. The open training sessions he held at Durham were unreal for a 4/5 year old kid to be able to watch them all up close. Some fella, RIP

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

Some sad news to bring you.

Former England player and manager Kevin Keegan has passed away at the age of 75 after battling cancer. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

Ouch. Star People probably should have won that

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

Not sure I'd have the two so far apart in the market here at Ayr. Burke's could be anything, and probably is very smart, but a decent standard to hit on debut based on Star People's 5th and being gelded after. Would have to be seriously smart to justify 1-4.

For anyone trying to contact me on Whatsapp.... I wasn't aware that the mother of my child was the female version of Rob Heneghan, but there we go. DM if needed.

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

@PaulJackson123 Yeah but JG is far too shrewd to entrust that job to him. I like KS, but he's nowhere near the level. So you have to ask yourself why he did...

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

Unpopular opinion, but personally think Shoemark was a huge fall guy for a poor crop for the Gosden's. He shouldn't have got that big a job, but there's a reason he did imo.

[Racing Post ⭕️ @RacingPost]

Kieran Shoemark on the hardest three weeks of his career

🗣️ "I lost the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket; I lost the French 1,000 Guineas in the stewards' room a week later; Lead Artist, who I'd ridden in all his starts, then went and won the Lockinge [under Oisin Murphy] and then a week after that Field Of Gold won the Irish 2,000 Guineas [with Colin Keane on board].

"If things had gone my way, there were four Group 1s literally within a month, but none of them are on my CV. There was a reminder every week and it was quite brutal, but it happens.

"When I lost the job, the amount of goodwill messages I received from owners and trainers was mind-blowing. You feel like you're wanted, but all of a sudden the music does stop and people get on with their lives. The messages stop and you're left with no horses and that's when you have to go to work."

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

@OTBCjayden He did get rides wrong, but it was very easy to just say oh it's him rather than look at what he was riding. Common sense tells you Kieron Shoemark wouldn't have got that job on talent alone, for all I think he's a perfectly competent jockey

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

@DjmPre That's not to say he didn't get rides wrong, he certainly did and I don't think he's the level for that job, but I think certain people knew what they were doing

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

@DjmPre I think Gosden, overall, had a fair weaker crop of talent than his usual high standards. Someone like Shoemark, who was never going to turn that kind of gig down, was an easy person to blame ie it was him butchering the horses rather than them just not having a good squad

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

@Ew21087 @LufcApl An absolutely massive upgrade. He is possibly the only player that we could have got to majorly upgrade, hence the fee. He's elite

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

@StevieR60 That's true, but also the same as everything else. I could save 50 on a Leeds ticket, my takeaways, my booze, whatever hobby you have. My point was more if you do gamble, you will make bad mistakes before learning your limits

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

Why isn't it accepted that you have to do your bollocks in gambling to learn? The same as drinking, you don't start off knowing your limits. We've all done the lot, myself numerous times 🤣, and most learn. Sadly, some won't. That's life. Checks are ridiculous

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

I don't pretend to know much about seemingly obscure signings like this generally, but he's someone I've held an interest in for a couple of years and he is elite. I'm amazed that we have got something like this over the line. 49ers have pulled off a coup here

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🟡🔵 Exclusive story from Saturday, now confirmed: Leeds United agree deal to sign Tarik Muharemović, here we go!

€40m package fee to Sassuolo, Juventus get €20m as sell-on clause. 💸

Muharemović will travel for medical and contract signing at #LUFC.

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

@seandw14 Hahah I got the notification for this thinking have I asked about something?!

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

It's only something minor, but this sums up the standard of 'journalism' in racing, doesn't it? They see Morris Dancer in godolphin blue and just say fuck it, must be Appleby's 😂 https://t.co/zs4KDQM0m4

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

@charlie_deluchi Did the starter or dessert deliver for the prowler?

[Mathewforth @Mathewforthh]

@Matthew77361240 But I'm not talking literally losing your home, debt etc. I'm talking having a hundred quid and chasing in the last, betting on the TV footy game etc. everyone starts off clueless and you learn from your mistakes
