chancer_007

why u backing victoria on fri night sizzler?
won what looked an ordinary handicap last time out.
handicaps are hard to win derby weekend at the curragh..

Genco

Didnt really fancy anything today so did a treble at 125.6/1 ...... pity it was only for €0.50 stake but if K Burkes horse actually comes in I will owe you a pint or two.

Just hope he had a bath this morning

15:40 Salisbury - Win Market - 12 Hello Roberto (Won)
16:20 Newcastle - Win Market - 5 Fort Churchill (Won)
21:00 Hamilton - Win Market - 1 Imperialistic (Not settled)

Was that an After Timing Alert Pighead just heard?
Oi Genco-No!

Tis not the worst thing in the world Genco and we're all mates here...I will say this though...When you have a treble or something similiar and you tell people the first two winners...the third will always lose.

Well lets just say I backed it the last time because I *cough* fancied it

Seriously though, if its good to firm tomorrow night (hoping the ground doesnt soften up too much tonight) then shes in will with a real chance, she won her last race easy and same distance again, bottom weight and after seeing her draw (2) she has to have a real chance.

It is a big field though and you need a hell of a lot of luck to win a race like that ,but I'll be jumping on each way, hopefully shes around 10's at least.

I wouldnt post if I didnt genuinely fancy a result

fade2black

I think Distant Piper may still be on a fair enough mark for this.

And that was one of my previous tips :eek: Makes my selection all the tougher but ye might just have to take a leap of faith on this one

fade2black

Tell me more you sizzling sex beast you.

Genco

Still new to all this so I have no clue what after timing or after offing or whatever is ..... posting the pic below and bookmarking it as a reminder to keep my trap shut in simiar situations in future.




Thanks for the words of advice guys. Trust me, the lesson was well learned !


EDIT
To try to resize pic so Fade (or anyone else) can point me in the right direction if I ever forget todays lesson.

fade2black

Unlucky Genco mate (can't make out the pic)

Genco

oops looks like I overcompensated :eek:

Way past my bedtime to try to correct it again. She who must be obeyed tells me I need all the beauty sleep I can get !

Will revisit the thread tomorrow to resize if I can.

chancer_007

Sizzler

The official going ois firm today at the curragh so NO MORE RAIN please

She opened up at 14's...and is now availabkle at 12's in some places...10's everywhere else....wonder how that happened LOL

I believe one of the tipsters in the sun has tipped it, that better not be the kiss of death!

fade2black

12s with PaddyPower and offering 5 places for the e/w. Might have some myself. Tis a big field tho.

Hello Roberto wins when I go nowhere near it. This is typical I tells ya!

Genco

Nothing really stands out in the aftenoon cards for me and not much time for research or selections at todays meetings. Guess I will stick small stakes on the each of the selections with 50% of any winnings going on the next runner and so on.

First three selections win and last two are each way following the staking plan above.

15:10 Market Rasen Arctic Cove
16:30 Folkestone Bullseye :mad:
18:30 Newmarket Logsdail :mad:


19:15 Newcastle Sierra Vista
19.35 Newmarket Winds of Change

Any winnings at the end of the day to go on Victoria Night for kicks and giggles.

DeadParrot

got a call from me brother, his mate works in a will hill and told him that Goose Island running at 6.30 in the curragh is highly fancied tonight
at 10s in PP and 12s in Will Hill.
Has a decent form when the going is Good but hasnt run since october finishing 6th
Cause its me brother I stuck €10 EW

fade2black

For a second there I thought you said he worked in a wind mill

DeadParrot

well he does,
you see a mouse had gotten itself stuck in among the barley at the mill and was due a terrible crushing death until me brothers mate rescued it.
This was no ordinary mouse, indeed it was magical and upon rescue stood up on its hind legs and proceeded to speak in an uncommonly deep voice for a mouse.
Back Goose Island at the curragh this evening fair sure and thou shalt be rewared for thy actions.
Upon which the mouse disappeared and a Racing Post fluttered down from the rafters and opened on the page containing the curraghs racecard.
Needless to say my brothers mate was stunned nad proceeded to let my brother know.
He in turn told me and I am spreading the word of this mystical rodent

It's probably a more reliable source than where most tips come from!

I've noticed a lot of LSD induced gibberish on this forum recently.

DeadParrot

I just think we've all opened up spiritually since the birth of the System™

fade2black

You could be right.

scojones

Embrace it my friends, for LSD was a vital part of our evolution.

Ding ding ding! Get this man a pint!

Got a couple of tips for tonight.

Firstly at 6:30 Goose Island is strongly fancied to be at least placed, this comes from one of my more reliable sources.

The second one I don't really know what to make of as it's a new source and the tip is Miss Maximus at 6:00 to be placed, it's a 50/1 shot so I think It'll be a watching brief for me, I just thought I'd post it just in case.

He's there alright...a bit of a strange one that. I'm on the favourite though.

That mouse lie to you as well?
Goose Island No-where, Im never helping an animal in danger again

fade2black

haha...there's a mate of mine who can't tip his hat but he continues to text me anyway. Every time he does though I reply with a mesage.

"We're sorry but the number you have texted has blocked a number of words that appear in your text {"tip", "win", "whisper"}. Subsequently the entire message has not been received"

He text me with a tip for Goose Island tonight...I couldn't get on in time to warn you MasterK.

Well anybody who came with me is probably counting their losses :mad:

All I can is sorry folks.

samo

Ah sure, was worth a shot!

Had it as part of a treble with the 2 Tony McCoy horses that were pulled up so at least Victoria Night finished the course!!

samo

Am hoping Kieron Fallon on Hitchock in the 9.00 and Hypnosis in the 9.30 come through for me!

Genco

Keep em coming Sizzler. My selections didnt cover themselves in glory so most of my staking was lost on them.

Skud

god was a bad day for forums, down a bit of money also... Funnily enough the 2 days I follow the crumbs system and both days he doesnt win lol Might give tomorrow a break but I have money on Greenwhich Meantime at 4 - 1. No point in doing an each way, this horse on form latelty so he may place at least, but could be wrong Worth half of an each way double methinks...

Kiera

Not sure about Greenwich Meantime, drawn high and that first bend at Newcastlet comes very fast, although watched him l;ast week, looked good, bloody typical, not a cent on anything on Saturday and picked five winners from the six televised races

Shes out again tonight in a pretty average company handicap race (830), last run was too bad to be true so Im giving her a 2nd chance and at 16/1 with places down to 4th Im thinking why not !

Also, Fallon has a few decent mounts on what seems to be a pretty poor card so he should do well, conceivably he should at least get a treble !

fade2black

Hitchcock is out again tonight also.

RedPeppers

Was told to back these two. Absolutely Fabolous 7/4 in the 7.00 and Great Hope 4/1 in the 8.00.

The day you dont back it Sizzler, is the day it will win - probably at 50/1
