The day had to come and it’s finally happened to me.

#AffordabilityChecks

Having won a modest amount yesterday, Not enough to retire on. But enough for a nice holiday would @WilliamHill allow me to withdraw it ??
NO.

Anti Money Laundering Checks.. 🙀🙀🙀 WOW

I have been Loyal to one bookmaker for over 20yrs. Literally put Thousands and Thousands in every year and have always been able to withdraw several thousand at a time NO questions asked.

My betting pattern is plain to see. Always only a single maybe like yesterday it was a double. One or two bets a week, Six to Ten bets at the most a month.

I stayed Loyal as they allowed me to place the sizeable bets I liked. prior to internet days I use to do it over the phone,
Never ever had an issue.

Previously I’ve provided passports and driving licenses As I was informed last night the most recently being my passport in 2023,
But the crunch last night to whoever was running the live chat I need to send in minimum 3 months Bank Statements from the account to which I deposit funds.
The very same account @WilliamHill I counted last night have made 9 deposits to this year No questions asked.

I will comply otherwise I’m smart enough to know I either won’t see my money whilst I argue and argue, with the end result being I will still have to comply.

But for years and years, The same name, The same Account, The same Bank.

Covid stopped me going to the racecourses to place my bets and I never got back into the routine.
Not once whilst placing a bet did the delightful bookmaker thinking about a steak dinner tonight ask. Where did I get these crisp £10 notes.
And although Hills won’t loose any sleep over my business this is the last business I ever do with them.

Before I get comments I triggered a threshold, I most likely did but my point is for years I’ve been able to withdraw funds to the same account it’s never changed but now they want to noisy into my last three months bank statements.. Hoping to see or find what?
#NothingToSeeHere

As I’ve read many stories in @RacingPost this an Affordability Checks Dressed up as Anti Money Laundering checks. Finally caught up with me ..

When is a hole more than a hole?

When it forces @haydockraces to abandon fixtures this Friday 29th May and Saturday’s Meeting 30th..

ooppppsssss…

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

The 5F Listed MaryGate Filies race @yorkracecourse has gone to @karl_burke first two year old winner of the season #LoveAGiggle who now makes it Two From Two.

The 5-1 shot didn’t quite run to Her debut winning time of 59.20 but she is fast clocking 59.85 on this good level galloping track..

That’s @CliffordleexLee 7th winner since returning from his serious quad bike injury last winter.

Post race when Mr Burke was asked about going to The Queen Mary he replied. “100% a stiff 5 will suit her why wouldn’t you”

1st Love A Giggle 5-1
2nd Armor Supreme 6-1
3rd Lover Girl 16/5
Time 59.85 slow 0.66
Going Good

Fav 5th Princesse d’Orange 3-1

Congratulations all 🥂🥂

I think @karl_burke was disappointed #RockSteadyBeat
Didn’t run better in the 6F Novice Stakes yesterday
🤔 One to mark for a tracker

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

All smiles as the stable staff led in #AlHudaiba 5-1 winner of the opening race on the card @NewmarketRace in my earlier post I mentioned this was the first 2yr old runner for both #CharlieAppleby & @ConnorPlanas (who just rode out his 3lb Claim)

This will be a welcomed winner for the yard as it ends a 21 day winless 28 runner drought.
In 2024 the yard won with their first 7 juvenile runners.

The race saw the expensive £880k Breeze-up #Mrair slow away from the stalls.
The 4/7 Favourite trained @GScottracing was beaten
One and half lengths.
The second beaten Breeze-up Favourite for the yard after #Anchiano was beaten at odds of 11/10Fav @Beverley_Races on Tuesday finishing 5th of 6..

Result
1st Al HUDAIBA 5-1
2nd MRAIR 4/7 fav
3rd IMPERIAL NATION 11/2
Time 1.12.02 slow 1.62
Good Going..

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

Twenty One days is a long time in racing and 28 runs later #CharlieAppleby is winless.

Totally out of character for the @godolphin trainer.
Who came away from the @NewmarketRace Craven meeting empty handed,

Although so far 2026 Mr Appleby shows a healthy looking 17 Wins From 72 Runs a 24% strike record.

Only 7 have been on The Turf from 48 Runs a 15% strike rate.

@godolphin have their First 2yr Runner @NewmarketRace for Mr Appleby and only their second of the season after #VictoryGold finished 2nd of 10 last Friday @Ascot in a 6F Novice for #SaeedbinSuroor

AL HUDAIBA runs in the 6F Class 4 Novice at 1.22 over on The Rowley Mile course and will take on five rivals,
Ridden by 22yr old 3Lb Claimer @ConnorPlanas who is also having his first Two Year Old ride of the year.

The #DarkAngel homebred will have to be very ready and streetwise if he is to make a winning debut. For both Connor and to start to stem the winless run for Mr Appleby.
Currently trading at 3/1,

The @GScottracing trained MRAIR is trading slightly odds on at 10/11Fav, This Whopping £880k son of #Mehmas breeze-up was by some way the @GoffsUK Top Lot from last months auction.
To be ridden by Champion jockey @oismurphy the £5.757.40 First place prize money will only scratch the surface of what @V_ForeverUK paid .. (formerly KHK Racing)

Other Runners..

Imperial Nation A Balding
Jiro D Ivory
Lion O K de Foy
Rocket Boots J Owen

Good Luck ❤️

@yorkracecourse MaryGate review to follow. Will @amoracingltd come up trumps in this 5F Fillies Listed Race with Either #LoverGirl or #LadyBlanche or will @karl_burke other runner #LoveAGiggle prevail??

Barry I think you can answer this without asking it.
I saw in an earlier post you said it was £322 to stand at Hamilton for a day .
I’ve no idea what grade of pitch that is or quality of pitch location .
But then you have travel costs . Staff costs . Bookies licenses and I’m sure you have insurance costs.
Just to take £2 each way and £5 win bets,
it just takes one bet of say £100 @ 9-1 to sink your whole afternoon if you haven’t laid any off.
How many jobs do you do ten hour days and not earn a penny?
I’m a gambler so I’d of loved to of done this years ago but not now.
The glory days of big hitting punters are far and rare .
Barry have you ever taken a bet where you think S**t if this wins I’m in trouble ?

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

You have to go round it because your right that bookies will find ways of not allowing you to bet, I survive but it is getting harder .
Do you fancy spending two hours visiting 30 shops and if your lucky enough to win , four hours picking up your winnings as every shop gives you the same safe time lock crap,
Bookies should have the balls to take your bet, and pay out if you win,

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

@RacingTV @RalphBeckett @Rossaryan15 Albany or Queen Mary, either run under a penalty or try The Listed MaryGate at York before Royal Ascot .
Either way looked a good early season filly

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

@John1986ire @VeloBet_Horse @RacingTV @amoracingltd @NavanRacecourse John you might of been better saying The Albany or The Queen Mary as she is only a Two Year old. Amo need some luck the amount they’ve spent with not huge returns,
One for next years 1,000 guineas?? Hey John

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

Tony if you happen to catch racing tv. Dr Amy Hawthorn The Head Veterinarian came on and explained that the horse sustained his injury from the take off and not the landing. This was well over two hours after the incident.
She had reviewed footage and listened to vets in the following convoy.
Who sedated Thistle Ask within a matter of seconds of arriving to avoid the horse being in pain whilst assessing the injury , which was a broken front right humerus bone, which she went on to say sadly is a non treatable injury so the horse was euthanised.
You may well say she says it has nothing to do with the ground it was just an mis judged take off position ..

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

At least I do all my own legwork to find this out, printing off thousands yes thousands of sales documents, emailing trainers, finding out names , @DanBriden works tirelessly to produce his fantastic 2yr old guide every year, if your going to use his work at least show some class and credit the guy..

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

But like the Flat fixture list is 52 weeks a year , except for the now welfare breaks.
Although the jump season officially ended yesterday the summer jumps season runs from May 4th -31st August. Again except for a welfare break. So both codes are 365 days a year.
I see your point as in the winter the flat is floodlit all weather mainly.
Whereas the jumps overlap daily with the flat,

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

Many many a time .. A fool and his money are easily parted .
Richard Hannon wins The Brocklesby with A Bear Affair his next four Juveniles all back into favouritism all four lost.
Unless your in the know or know about their stable work I’ll be your bookie any day backing juvenile favourites first time out .

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

So the Jockey club has 15 tracks and my local one is Haydock it’s looking tired and dated.
Whilst Epsom has had the mother of all pushes to get The Derby meeting back to yesterday year.
Lots more viewing space, Entertainment, Food and Deink stations . As well as rearranging a couple of the races.
If Kempton is sold off how evenly will The Jockey Club Distribute its Half Billion ??

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

@tony_calvin @BHAStewards Well at least it was clearer than this farce from Cheltenham in January

[Race-Facts-2Yr Olds @flat2020tips]

Annoys the hell out of me trainers just before the off,

Well today’s a learning curve , look he’s been off six months so he’s a little ring rusty, but he will come in for today as today’s not his target.

Where’s my slip rip it up now . That sll code for Not fit today but gets a run in him and some prize money…
