countdown to cheltenham!

with cheltenham around the corner, i've decided that because the track is unique
with a very testing uphill finish that the course of action is to lay all those odds-on
types. To win at cheltenham you have to jump at speed so as well as the gruelling finish
any mistakes are exaggerated.
Advice for cheltenham,
lay all those odds-on shots.
You never know you may finish cheltenham in profit!

Brazil look in great shape. 3pts @ 5/1 to win world cup.

Leonid scapegoated by Putin

MOSCOW – The head of the Russian Olympic Committee says he resigned in the wake of Russia's worst performance at the Winter Games.
Leonid Tyagachev said in televised remarks Thursday that his decision followed the "unexpectedly" poor results of the team at Vancouver.
Russian news agencies reported his resignation Wednesday, but the Olympic Committee denied it.
Russia placed 11th with three golds and sixth in the overall medal count with just 15 medals. That total was two fewer than its previous low in Salt Lake City in 2002.

Will he still get unemployment benefit so he can save for a haircut before the next olympics?
