Upwardly mobile !

Managed to play one game of poker yesterday using my laptop and a free internet connection at the sales ring in Newmarket - an STT on Betfair, just to make sure I qualify for a freeroll on there in December.

Not much changes - not that it is weeks or months since I played - as I was comfortably dominating the table until a couple of unlucky (for me) hands took me down and then out.

Tried to get the laptop to work in a pub with a wireless connection last night but it refused to let me log on so I've still got work to do there, but I can't say that I am missing not playing so no addiction here !

Money is being spent on foals by wealthier people than me here today - top price so far 350,000 guineas with a few over 200,000 and several over 100,000. In our breeding enterprise any of these prices would put us in dreamland but it is what keeps all small breeders going - the hope and possibility that you could just strike it rich with something your mare might produce.
