Hi Michael,

We\'re very broadminded about gambling in the UK so I can\'t imagine you\'ll have a problem. It\'s only the Colonies which bar people from having accounts with bookmakers and those new-fangled exchange thingies.

Cheers,
George

True George, but thanks to Frank Stronach, we\'ve become very progressive.

We have \"The Horse Wizard\".

hahah...... i used to love betting in the UK. each bet i made came directly out of my checking account, and if i won, the proceeds would go right back in. too bad they can\'t do that here. it\'s also too bad i couldn\'t handicap worth s..t using timeform and the racing post (i think that\'s what it\'s called). i will be there this w/e, and don\'t want to miss the donn from GP. hope the site doesn\'t have any restrictions over there...... thanks.

Michael,

I don\'t know where you\'re staying but GP should be shown on Attheraces which is Channel 415 on the Sky Satellite service. It\'s a free channel so if the hotel/apartment has Sky it should be available.

Cheers,
George

do you know if they show the entire GP card on the attheraces show on sky? looks like the best card of the year, with six graded stakes races. i would hate to miss this racing.

Michael,

They show the whole card but there\'s usually 4 or 5 US tracks being shown so it\'s pretty rapid-fire stuff. Attheraces.co.uk will give a listing of the tracks being covered.
