I think I better join this bandwagon! :pac:

I'm actually amazed by how well its going to be honest. I just hope he can maintain the form through the summer. He's a jockey that seems to be constantly under the radar which is suiting just fine. Maybe doing this log is the worst thing I could do!!

mike65

Well my De Sousa logs saw him end up as a retained jockey for Mark Johnston with the result his winning prices fell through the floor!

Swift Cat, 33/1. Beaut.

I picked a good day to start following you following Jim!

Just a note to note that Swift Cat was gelded, he's not the first long shot winner lately to have got the snip and won next time out.

MyStubbleItches

Gald you were on Mike.

That's the wonderful thing about backing blind. I don't have to count how many nuts the horse has!!

Thanks for Swift Cat

Balance €332.05

MyStubbleItches

Just one tomorrow at York. Looks a tough ask.

1.30 Right Step €5 e/w @ 9/1

Robinwood

I hope the next time they all rock.

MyStubbleItches

Tough ask it was, Right Step couldn't make any impression today.

Salisbury tomorrow and Newmarket in the evening.

Sal

1.40 Rosaria €5 e/w @ 12/1

2.10 Danube River €5 e/w @ 8/1

2.40 Ask The Guru €10 @ 10/3

3.45 Despatch €5 e/w @ 12/1

New

7.00 Jambobo €5 e/w @ 66/1

7.35 Signed Up €5 e/w @ 16/1

Bloodsweatandtears also runs at Newmarket but Crowley isn't on him even though he has no other ride in the race. Strange.

Edit: I mada a bit of a boo-boo by backing one of Eve Johnson-Houghton's runners on PP instead of Boyles so there is €2 more than there should be in play. (horse is Zingata at 16/1)

MyStubbleItches

Caught for time and will be tomorrow too.

Ask the Guru won today, no returns from the others leaving the balance at €303.38.

4 tomorrow at York. All backed e/w at 9/1, 14/1, 16/1 and 40/1.

MyStubbleItches

Electrelane placed yesterday to leave the balance at €279.63.

Hungover and going beering soon so all backed again today and I seem to have mistakenly backed one of them twice. Will hopefully make sense of it all tomorrow.

MyStubbleItches

Jaysus, just checked results and Pabusar got beaten a head by Palace Moon who has done well for Crowley before. 25/1. Feck retainers anyway!!

MyStubbleItches

Rhagori is the one backed twice at 10/1.

MyStubbleItches

Right, apologies to anyone keeping an eye on this. A mate is heading abroad for a few years so was on the beer for the weekend, hence the crappy posting.

I mistakenly backed Rhagori twice (internet was slow, PP site was slow and my head was definitely slow). Turned out to be a lucky mistake as he finished 4th with 4 places paid. I'd be a lot sicker now if that hadn't been the case!

No mounts today unfortunately. Back in action tomorrow evening.

Balance €279.63.

MyStubbleItches

Two tomorrow evening at Kempton.

8.00 Arch Villain €5 e/w @ 11/1

8.30 Loyal N Trusted €5 e/w @ 11/2

I'm bending the rules slightly by backing the second e/w at the current price.Three reasons, it's a hot race to me, I think it'll drift slightly and its 1/4 odds 1,2,3.

Arch Villian wins @ 8/1. Love Jim Crowley a very underrated jockey. Good stuff with the log

MyStubbleItches

There's some satisfaction in being right about the second race being tough to call, there's no satisfaction when it doesn't matter a f**k cos the horse was out of the places anyway!

Arch Villain did the business for Jim and his sis-in-law, going off at 8/1.

I feel a bit guilty having gone through today's results. He had two rides at Nottingham that I missed completely. A 33/1 and 40/1. Going on my current 'strategy', I should be €20 less. Looking at the prices though, I'd feel a bit of a fool for betting 'big' on such outsiders. I know he had a 33/1 winner in Swift Cat not so long ago but this would be an exception rather than a rule.

From now on, anything longer than 16/1 when I post up his rides will be €2.50 e/w. I'm using this log as an experiment as such for future following of Crowley. If I was using a starting bank of, say, €1000, I couldn't see myself in reality putting €25 or €50 e/w on any long-priced horse.

'Tis my log, Bull. :cool:

Balance €335.63

4.30 Pucon €5 e/w @ 7/1

Yeah, just did them in shop in singles and a €5 e/w acc. Would be nice!!

MyStubbleItches

Only Scottish Glen returned money but it means a profit. Won fairly handily at 7/1.

Balance €361.23

MyStubbleItches

He has one tomorrow at Goodwood and a few at Sandown in the evening. Goodwood priced.

It'd be right handy if they just priced them all up and be done with it. Its a right pain in the ass having to log in at 10 am to get the price early.
