Hi, My name is Tom, enjoy many sports, especially Horse Racing and Football. However I am one of those people that probably watch most sports that are on the telly. I support Fulham, hence the user name, used to be a season ticket holder but had to give it up due to the expense of having four kids I set up this board in response to the closure of BBC's 606 boards and hope it can continue to grow and be enjoyed by many people who have an interest in Horse Racing as well as other sports. If you have any requests for changes or additions to the board, then please message me with your ideas and I will see if I can can get them incorporated into the layout for you

Hello, I'm a Brit in Italy, miss horse racing terribly, support Genoa CFC here and Leicester City in Blighty. Like virtually all sports except basketball and synchronised swimming. Hopeless mug punter to boot.

Welcome , lameduck, have seen you do ok on Talking Horses comps Hi Deggsy, I have done OK but never really pressed the button. Did you ever do the Sporting Life Tipster Comp? They saiD it would be coming back in 2011 but it has never resurfaced. Always wanted to win that one, got near-ish once but that's racing! Anyway, this site looks interesting, let's hope it takes off.

I did used to do the Sporting Life Tipster Comp , got in the top 10 once, one month and that was it, dont know why it didn't come back like it said it was going to do in January? thought it was going to have a new format and everything. I've got some of the comps I run on here, but when 606 finally finished will be bringing all the comps I run onto here

Yes, they said it would be coming back, it's a shame it hasn't reappeared. I used to enjoy it, plugging away all month then someone would cream it with a 66/1 shot in a plater at Hexham.

Heyo all, I'm Rory, a.k.a Zarkava off've the ol' Beeb 606 sites (yep, the annoying teen with the rubbish tips!) Hopefully, most people will know me from there, but to anyone new, heres a bit about moi: I'm 18, sports-obsessed and prefered sports to watch are Horse Racing and Football, but not as much as i have been anymore. i've been into Horse Racing for three years now, thanks to my grandad (who passed away two months ago, massive hole in my life). In the future, i hope to be a Sports Journalist, preferably on Horse Racing and i have accepted a place at Stoke (Staffordshire) University on a Sports Journalism course. So excited and nervous.... So yeah, thats me!

Hi all I heard about this site on BBC 606. Im a keen racing fan and i wish to join you all in making this site a good community by contributing my tips. I am a big fan of following a system when backing selections. I tend to just try and stick to 2 or 3 bets a day. a NAP, a N.B and maybe a longshot! Well i hope to speak to you all at some point and get stuck in posting them winners on here

Hey Tom. I'm new to this online stuff. Never heard of this 606 place you spoke of, but it sounds like some kind of paradise that's turned into a deserted, stony desert. I too love to watch sport on tv. I once heard that to get the best from my 42in set, it's best to sit about three feet from the screen. So I've set my computer table next to the tv. I get wonderful entertainment, but the bloody headaches are a right pain in the bum.
I'm not really into the round ball game, I think it was designed to give women something to do while their men folk played Rugby. Love motor racing, athletics and fast food. Can't stand kids or that stuff they call music. I have strong opinions on everything, if others don't agree with them ... they're wrong. My favourite non sport tv shows are Macgyver and My Favourite Martian. Bill Bixby was a wonderful actor. The Marlon Brando of tv. I live on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and spend most of the week down by the sea, where the Pacific Ocean pays homage by lapping at my feet. But enough of blowing my own trumpet, I'm sure that others have plenty of wonderful things to say about me.

Hello lads. My name is Dexter and i have migrated from the old 606 fella. I enjoy golf,8 h'cap,cricket,footy and racing most of all. Enjoy punting,albeit selectively,and spend a lot of time poring over the form book and watching race re-runs,especially maidens and large field h'caps...not working mind you!! Support the fabulous Athletic Bilbao (i'm one quarter Basque) and go to the matches around six times a year. Love going racing,both here and in Ireland and enjoy nothing more than to persiflage on all matters racing related! Cheers Guys
