#Pointers password
Starting tomorrow (Fri 24th May) the #Pointers will be password protected, due to hundreds reading the pages yet very few people actually interacting with me or showing appreciation. To those who do appreciate my efforts I have big respect for you.
Everyone is free to ask what the password is (don’t ask until the Pointers page is online please), I will then DM it to you.
I provide these pointers free of charge to narrow the field and try and help people. As an average it takes over an hour to do one meeting and they’ve produced lots of winners and big priced places.
2200 Followers looks good, but really it’s about 30 as it’s the same loyal few who make any effort (and I don’t mean just with the pointers). Same with the photos, they don’t even get 5% of my followers looking at them.
And those wondering, this Blog’s admin page tells me how many views each page gets etc…
It was the same last month when I gave winners of the big races at good prices, which I actually gave as tips rather than pointers…. hardly any response.
Thank you for reading this.

Not sure what day to expect today, sorry for mentioning a lot of horses, but there’s a lot to go on, and some races have big fields.
