-15.50 before today yes?

Is it real money you are betting with or just keeping a record of how much you would win/lose if you followed him blindly level stakes?

kryogen

No better jockey from the front!

As its very early season (never back seriously in April they say with reason!) I'm just doing a very small stakes Lucky 15 type bets. If it looks like he is going to have another good summer (+150 to level stakes in 2012!) I may get more serious. We'll see.

Slow enough start to the season.

kryogen

It does actually seem to be a very slow start alright, but his horses came good a little later in the year last year iirc so wouldnt rule him out yet for having a big summer

Im watching him myself but have only bet on 4 of his horses so far, if he starts to hit form I will probably be having a few serious bets on him over the summer myself. Thanks for doing this log, it makes it really easy for me to keep track of his results

mike65

I just went through his 2011 campaign, 5 wins in the first 10 rides when he returned from Meydan. Of course one never knows when the good and bad spells will happen a few Blue Buntings at 16-18/1 would be nice though.

Mickael Barzalona mounted rides returned +90, something to keep an eye on.

Followed on this one Mike. Was very impressive.

mike65

ha! I didn't back him "apprentice rider, no chance!" :pac:

MyStubbleItches

If connections could trust him with a 950k horse I'd take my chances with a few measly bob each way!!

mike65

I know, still glad he prevailed, the win rate is starting to pick up.

When did he start firing last year Mike?

Is the weather going against him?

mike65

He came flying out the blocks at Meydan but in Britain it was mad - he was firing in winners left right centre in April 2011 Summer was actually very quiet. So I'm going have to hope that the winners are waiting to happen!

I doubt the conditions are helping, that said most wins came on both good-soft and good-firm.

Game on!!

MyStubbleItches

Interestingly, both Crowley and Barzalona each have only one ride at Windsor. Current best odds - Barzalona 12/1, Crowley 10/1. That gives us both a saver I reckon.

No rides tomorrow.

I dunno if there is trouble at mill but the number of horses sent out so far this summer is rather low.

MyStubbleItches

Does he have many going at Ascot?

mike65

19 horses but with 2/3 entries in the early declarations, I'd say 10-11 will actually race at most.
