Was in the Lion earlier, laughing about "betting". Long story short: 
Paid £2-20 into a "Yankee". Was told about "doubles", "trebles"....etc.
Got confused (easy done) so in the end we did 4 horses on a 40p Eachway Yankee.

Simple question:
1 Horse won, 1 came 2nd, 1 3rd and bloody Ken's Girl is still running.

Do we have anything to pick-up or do you need 4 "places" ?

    you have 3 placed horses but get nothing extra for the winner, that horse is treated as a 'placed' horse .. so it looks as though you have a place treble and 3 place doubles (that is horses 1 2 and 3 for the treble, 1&2, 1&3 AND 2&3 for the doubles). Your return will depend on the starting prices, usually e/w you get either 1/4 or 1/5 of the odds, depending on the type of race & the number of runners. Don't spend it all @ once.

    I know nothing about horses but love Kingsgate Native as I won over £500 on him a few years back.

    It depends how many runners were in the races where you had your 2nd horse and 3rd horse.

    As long as there was 5+ in the "2nd place horse" race that counts and as long as there was 8+ in the "3rd place horse" race that also counts.

    Really fancy Harris Tweed in the first and Green Destiny in the 3rd at Goodwood tomorrow.

    Done a double and 2 singles.

    Just saw the result online at work, well pissed off, Did he do his usual front running tactics?

    Harris led all the way until the last 5 yards, Fallon on Drunken Sailor (owned by the Brighton F C owner) did him on the line .. no doubt on the right horse, Fallon is the best ever. Green Destiny was nowhere and looked a tired horse.
