The Jim Crowley Log

mike65

Indeed. I've never understood why some races (and not particularly high profile ones) get priced early and others don't.

MyStubbleItches

No joy today. Having pints so I'll do tomorrow's tomorrow.

Prohibit not running in the Temple on Saturday unfortunately. Source of my biggest ever win last year under Crowley in the Kings Stand. Disappointed.

MyStubbleItches

Two tomorrow at Yarmouth.

3.55 Putin €5 e/w @ 10/1

4.30 Hayaku €10 @ 7/2

MyStubbleItches

Putin second and Hayaku fourth.

Good book of rides today. Hopefully we'll get a winner or two as the bank would be severely hurt if not!

Good day.

Montaser won, Spirit Quartz was third and Phonic second (14/1).

Balance €351.85

You've just saved me a load of slow, hungover typing - thank you!

I actually backed two that were available at 12 o clock last night and I as drunk as a skunk.

The logging of your drinking habits is most intriguing!

MyStubbleItches

Just sharing the pain Mike!

Only Esprit De Midas returned anything with third place.

5.45 Cheylesmore €10 @ 9/2

MyStubbleItches

I only figured out last night that Jim's boss, Ralph Beckett, is having a very poor run lately. I suppose I was blind to the fact because I'm just backing blind anyway. He has a few at Epsom in the next few days and if his form doesn't start to turn around there then I will be reducing stakes on any Beckett horse until fortunes improve as no doubt it has reduced the profitability of this log in a big way.

MyStubbleItches

Those lovely folk at Paddy Power have given me a €5 free bet so I just put it on rossom's selection in the 6.15 at Sandown, If You Whisper - €2.50 e/w @ 33/1. If there are any returns I'll most likely withdraw them to keep things honest.

MyStubbleItches

Double for Jim on his first two. Sweeties!!

MyStubbleItches

Boston Blue and Autarch win.

Balance €400.35

MyStubbleItches

Big day at Epsom tomorrow.

1.40 Night Lily €2.50 e/w @ 33/1

2.15 Pivotman €5 e/w @ 12/1

3.25 Moone's My Name €5 e/w @ 8/1

4.05 Colima €5 e/w @ 16/1

5.25 Compton €5 e/w @ 14/1

MyStubbleItches

Compton was a NR in the last to return the stake, best performance of the day.

Going to reduce my stakes on any Beckett horses after tomorrow to €2.50 total until there's a change in fortunes. Moone's My Name was quite poor today, granted he had a horrible draw but I still expected more.

Balance €365.35

MyStubbleItches

Epsom

2.05 Mossgo €2.50 e/w @ 33/1

4.50 Seaside Sizzler €5 e/w @ 11/1

MyStubbleItches

Lui Rei wins at 9/1.

Balance €411.60

MyStubbleItches

Forgot to say that Mossgo was a NR.

MyStubbleItches

He went to Dusseldorf to ride Electrelane today and won. Hopefully that might help Beckett's form.

2.40 Devoted (Beckett) €2.50 @ 5/1

3.15 Derfenna Art €5 e/w @ 8/1

I'll hold my hand up and call myself poxy before anyone else does!

MyStubbleItches

White Flight looked a very awkward ride and Crowley ended up nursing him home.

Balance €497.10
