Oh. My. Lashes.

Yeah, OK. Three posts in one day. What the hell!

After just about getting my money back on the Gold Cup bet I made yesterday, I thought I'd have another flutter today. I had a look down the Ascot races, but I was tripped up on the main race of the day. There were two horses I liked, and I couldn't choose. So I asked Principessa to choose the jacket she liked the most. Then I thought, let's just put a twist forecast on the two horses I couldn't choose between.

Wouldn't you just know it, the twist forecast came in! How chuffed am I? And all because I could make some tenuous connection between the horses - Lush Lashes and Infallible. Connection? Make-up!

*Dances round the room while wishing I had put a fiver bet on instead!*

Woohoo!

I thought I'd have a flutter on the gee-gees today with it being Gold Cup day. So, I bet on one horse in each of the six Ascot races. The first three came nowhere. Bugger. I had given up getting anything back. But then, a tennis-associated named horse - Fifteen Love - went and won it's race, coming in at 28-1! Yay! That'll do me. I'm just hoping that King Of Rome doesn't come anywhere, because I didn't bet on him in the end.
