Great Day Today

Great day today. Got a few tips from my usual dodgy tipster that for once came in. Had a €15 double on King Rama 4/1 in the 6.50 in Tramore with another horse an hour earlier called jawad at 13/8 so my returns will be just under €200 so ya gotta be happy with that although i did have 2 losers earlier in the day.
Small bits of info today darts wise was info on the Bob Anderson classic which was to be held in October is cancelled. It was cancelled some weeks back but only got write up on it today. Bob, in fairness worked hard on trying to keep on track but the "money putter uppers" seem to back off and thus anyone who had hotels are anything booked or entry fee's paid may be only slightly out of pocket.Bob would love to have kept that going but such is life. He got to the final of his own tournament some years back but lost 8.1 in the final to Terry Jenkins so that tournament was good to him....until now.... Next year please Bob.Bob is heading to Tokyo in November with a Unicorn tour so that makes him well pleased.
On about people out of pocket and so forth. I know one top player who will not be out of pocket in the future.Heard today that one of the worlds top 2 ranked players(not Taylor) has increased his appearance fee with immediate effect.Laughable really when ya stop and think about. With the competitive prize money next year expected to exceed £2 million (sterling) increasing exhibition fee's by a couple of hundred is a tad bit on the greedy or taking the piss side to be honest and we'll see how that developes in the future.
If he was at the peak of his career i'd say something but he's not so thats what makes it laughable.Maybe beating Taylor on TV would warrant something like that.
Anyway, i'm off on my holidays tomorrow and i have to be up at 1.30am as our flight is at 5.25am. We are going to Italy so if i see Materazzi while there i'll be sure and head butt him in the chest. A big hello to Materazzi from Zidane and Diarmuid Mc Carthy.
