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 afternoon it looks very much like Judgement is

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 have cares in the world and today they revolve

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 broken but an omelette definitely seemed to

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 only trixie in the first place. Meanwhile

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 small, however the rewards for that win will

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 though I am not talking horses but football.

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 in the 16:00 at Southwell for Luck but sadly

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, were on Star Ascending in the 18.30 at

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, so so sorry. As an adult the dentist is the

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 a sports point of view there is also much

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 deals than I wish to reflect on. This is the

Controversy exploded at Luck vs Judgement last night as it emerged that @happyaslarry had been consulting odds information whilst making his apparently random selections. The scandal, that they are calling

Another disappointing day for both Luck and Judgement yesterday as the competition went past the one-third-market. Neither selection method has covered itself in glory so far but there is still plenty

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 for returns of £2, a break even day. More

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 into a train either barrelling beneath the

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 @happyaslarry lucky or was he the opposite?

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 Luck vs Judgement, there was a sighting of that

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 final horse did the business. The other four,

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 profit. It was a similar story for @happyaslarry

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 points victory, albeit a hollow one. Indeed,
