Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 25

Here we are then, the final day of the first ever Luck vs Judgement Trixie Challenge, and barring something special (two winners would do it) for Luck this afte...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 22

The Sun is shining down from a cloudless blue sky and I recline on the lounger with barely a care in the world. I add the word barely because, of course, I do h...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 21

Ah those heady optimistic days. Do you remember them, things were better, brighter, hope seemed to lurk everywhere. Clouds had their silver linings, eggs were b...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 20

Crikey, what a day that was?! @happyaslarry did pick up a place with The Road Home, but one place as they say, is never enough. Especially when you’re on a win ...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 19

Percentages baby, that’s what I’m talking about. The percentages are where the money is all at. On the trixie’s the percentage chance of a win is extremely smal...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 18

Ah, well, you win some and you lose some, as the saying goes, and last night there was a gigantic win for Luck and a disappointing loss for Judgement. For once ...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 17

A day that promised so much ultimately led to nothing yesterday as both Luck and Judgement failed to capitalise on winning starts. Mininggold took first place i...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 15

Yesterday was another of those frustrating days in Trixieland. The first two ’Judgement’ selections rolled into places and all eyes, well both of mine at least,...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 14

I am apparently an ‘over-brusher’. The dentist told me this morning, her soft Irish lilt reprimanding me as her light blue eyes burned into my soul. I’m sorry, ...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 13

What a week to be alive. The sun is shining, the evenings are getting longer, summer is on the way and I am in the last throes of my latest London sojourn. From...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 11

And so the final day of London working has arrived. It’s been six weeks, roughly 240 hours, three different films, countless tube journeys and more Tesco meal d...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 10

Controversy exploded at Luck vs Judgement last night as it emerged that @happyaslarry had been consulting odds information whilst making his apparently random s...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 9

Another disappointing day for both Luck and Judgement yesterday as the competition went past the one-third-market. Neither selection method has covered itself i...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 8

An interesting day then, yesterday. Luck had no returns at all but it was Judgement’s best day of the competition so far. A win, a loss and a non-runner making ...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 7

Five more days, that’s all. Just five more days of film restoration, of the dark, silent, windowless office. Five more commutes through central London, squeezed...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 6

Oh, Lady Luck, what a fiendish and confusing companion you most surely are! Yesterday Luck took the upper hand over Judgement in this Trixie Challenge but was @...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 5

There have been a couple of hollow victories this week and none feels more lacking in substance than the one I enjoyed yesterday. Yes, for the first time on Luc...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 4

Funny how these little patterns can emerge in such a short space of time. Yesterday, for the second day in a row, my first horse rolled in and @happyaslarry’s f...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 3

So there was a touch of the Groundhog Day for me yesterday as my first horse ran into a place, only for the other two to fail miserably scuppering my hopes for ...

Luck VS Judgement - A Trixie Challenge - Day 2

Whilst neither ‘luck’ nor ‘judgement’ were able to return any money yesterday it is fair to say that ‘judgement’, that is to say me, can regard the day as a poi...
