Oisin Murphy Lands Thrilling Chester Cup

One furlong from home in yesterday's Chester Cup - Mark Johnston seemed sure to have first and second. However, Oisin Murphy thrust outsider Montaly through near the line to claim victory for Andrew Balding.

A frustrating result for me as I have backed Montaly two or three times before in staying handicaps without success.

Mark Johnston might go one better in the 3.0 at Chester today

I HAVE FOUND PUNTING NIRVANA IN PAPHOS

By chance yesterday I dropped in at Aces Bar in Paphos

Turned out to be punting nirvana

Full racing and sports betting coverage

Excellent coffee/ beer and cocktails on tap

The landlord Spiros is the bookie and is brilliant Craic - he will also take a proper bet without whingeing.

Don't miss it if you go to Paphos/Cyprus
