Duncan........make your garden grow.

Highland Glen for the Queen and scotia!

Hibby did you not have a 60/1 treble there??

I was busy having my few bob on a few hottie's to pay for the local damage!

Well done tipster of the week. plus Hibs beat Hearts, you lucky B*****d

wheeeeeeeeeeeel barrow required..might even have a celebration!!!

Good man Hibby so you won't be feeling "The Reel Credit Crunch"?

I checked out the prices of cars in SA. I am shocked as i remember when you could buy a brand new Japaneses vechile for 18. Now you cant get anything half decent under 50. Why are cars so expensive nowadays

Joe Jo Star sprung a 16-1 surprise in the feature toteswinger Swinton Handicap Hurdle on a mixed card at Haydock.

Richard Fahey's charge was relatively unconsidered for the £75,000 event, despite finishing third in a competitive handicap hurdle at Aintree's Grand National meeting on his most recent start.

However, he made a mockery of his price as he moved up sweetly on to the heels of long-time leader Ellerslie Tom two flights from home.

Brian Hughes then sent him on after the last and he had the measure of Ellerslie Tom, triumphing by half a length.

Hot Diamond came late and fast to finish a head third while Danehill Willy ran a cracker on his first start in 568 days to claim fourth.

That was a nice winner Hibby, well done!
