15 Minutes backing outsiders at Chepstow Races!

Ah – the pounding of hooves across lush, green turf, the tumultuous roar of trackside punters and the tumble of english sterling into the pockets of lucky gamblers. The lure of Horse Racing has always been great for me… But it was with some trepidation that my Bank Holiday 15 minutes of Infamy took me to Chepstow racecourse, with the sole intention of picking up loads of cash for paltry stakes – simply by backing the outsiders.

For sure – it is a madman who solely trusts the prices, (after all how often does the favourite in the Grand National win) but this was flat racing, and armed with no more knowledge than a quick scan of the Racing Post could furnish me with, I picked up my warm, flat pint of £3 Fosters – and set to work gambling away on the long shots… A great day out!

But was I successful? Place your bets now and take a look at part 3 of my 15 minutes of infamy blog – or perhaps Bert’s Horseracing Blog for some real advice (he won my friend a fortune at the bookies in August).
