About Me

Wayward Lad: Brighton, East Sussex, United Kingdom; Life-time lover of horse-racing and gambling in general. I remember the days of the extel commentary in the bookies. I grew up bunking-off school to watch the likes of Nijinsky win the Derby (in 1970). Was there myself to watch Dancing Brave in 1986. Then lived in Hong Kong for a while (1990-97) and produced my own form-book and ratings there (as the local form was written in Cantonese); that meant I learnt a lot about horseracing there. Signed-up to Betfair (was with Flutter before that) in Dec 2001. Should make more money at racing than I do, but have tendency to waste winnings on silly wagers. I have moments of inspiration but never the conviction to follow them through.
