GETMINTED'S ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

It was exactly a year ago today that Getminted racing (formely known as the Paddock) began broadcasting to Sky viewers. You may remember initially the presenters were not on screen but just talking over the races. As 2005 moved on you were lucky or unlucky enough to see us guys as Getminted moved to a new London studio! Over the twelve months the game has grown with new owners joining us daily. We hope you're enjoying the show and want to say thanks for all your interaction, texts, calls, e-mails etc. It's you who make our show what it is. Please post your messages regarding our 1 year Anniversary on the Owners chat room section of the forum and Dan Wheeler and I will read them out tonight. Thanks again guys.

George Washington - 8:36 - 8/1

To be honest I'm not normally a lover of U.S. Presidents but I think George Washington could well rewrite the constitution in this level weight race for 4 to 7 year old colts. This black beauty from the racing slim stable has picked up 12 wins and 15 places in his 38 races to date and has a fine record on fast going.Indeed 4 of those 12 wins came on fast going and many feel this horse could even win tonight. The 4 year old colt has a good record in Level weight races and is a great each way candidate this evening.

Al Pacino - 8:48 - 24/1

Fantastic name here for a handy horse. This 2 year old grey colt from the Stato stable has been placed in all of his four races to date but has never been good enough to pick up his first win. Three second place finishes tells the story of a fine young talent on the up. He was especially unlucky not to win in his very first race on the 7th of May when he finished a third of a length behind the winner Cuban Pete. I feel he could land a big surpise tonight but the more cautious of you may decide to go each way.

Sexy Beast - 9:55 - 13/2

Well why not! Rumours that this 6 year old colt from the Punting Paul stable was called after me were greatly exaggerated!A solid old performer he's been out 106 times in competitive races. He has a poor record of 12 wins in that time but Sexy Beast also has had 43 placed finishes. In his last race two days ago on good in the UK he was unlucky not to notch up win number 13 when he was pipped on the line by Young Kancha in a field of 8. In a tight field its going to be difficult for Sxy Beast but I#ve a feeling tonight could be his night.
