4.10 Ripon

Osteopathic Remedy 16/1

This race is Osteopathic Remedy's main target every year and he boasts an absolutely superb record in it winning it 3 times in 2012, 2010 and 2008 whilst he was also placed in the race in 2011 and 2009 and given how well he has done in this race I am stunned to see him at such a big price. Now a 9 year old, Osteopathic Remedy's ability and enthusiasm has not wavered despite his age and he comes here attempting to win this race for the 4th time off a mark of 90. His highest win in this race came off a mark of 87 (twice) and his victory in this race last year came off a mark of 85 but he was successful off a 1lb higher mark last year so I have no doubts that he has the ability to win this off his current mark. He proved his well being with a very good 2nd off this mark 2 starts back at Ayr and although he was a fair bit below par in the Thirsk Summer Cup on his latest start he finished down the field in the same event last year before bouncing back to win this again. The excellent Connor Beasley takes the ride and a very valuable 5lb off and he partnered Osteopathic Remedy to success at Ayr last year and was on board when a fast finishing runner up 2 starts back. Trainer Michael Dods has had a terrific season so far and remains in really good form and you can guarantee that he has Osteopathic Remedy spot on in an attempt to win this race again. The draw has been kind as Osteopathic Remedy as he has bagged a great position in stall 2 and I am sure another big run is on the cards. His current price tag of 16/1 is absolutely huge in my eyes and it would be fantastic if this gelding can score in this contest for the 4th time.

Stormadal for Ishmail Mohammed looks a good bet in the next at Newcastle. 8/1

ROSSOM, You are a F*cking genius.

My first winner for 3-4 weeks.

Thank you so so much.

Adam Scott last night and now this ?

I don't know what to do with myself.

Well done Ross and to anyone that got on. Great winner.

Obviously I didn't hahaha

What a legend of a horse! Thats the 4th year in a row I've backed him in that race and 3rd time I've collected. I cannot fathom how he was 16/1 last night and another superb piece of training by Michael Dods to get him to peak for this race. Cracking ride by young Beasley as well.

Glad a few of you got on

Got on at 10/1 with the money I got back on Stormadal. Thanks Rossom. Chuffed with that.

5.45 Newcastle

Mission Impossible 25/1

He's got to back bounce from a few poor efforts but Tracy Waggott's 8 year old grey is now only 1lb above the mark he was successful at Thirsk back in April and he has a really good record at the track. His last 4 runs have been quite disappointing (including over C+D 2 starts back) but I am hoping that the reapplication of cheekpieces (can win with them or without) will spark him back in to life having been left off for his last 2 starts. He was definitely lucky to be drawn on the right side when winning at Thirsk back in April under Patrick Mathers as he scored by a neck but he beat an improving sort in runner up Chester Aristocrat that day who has won twice since and is rated 16lb. His 4 subsequent outings since then haven't been great but he has fallen 4lb for those runs and has quickly come back to a mark that looks very workable. In addition to cheekpieces being reapplied, I am very happy to see him back at Newcastle where he has a tremendous record of 3 wins from 6 starts and whilst his run over C+D 2 starts back wasn't great he was only beaten 2L on his visit to the course so he has 5 great runs from just 6 starts at the track and clearly loves it around here. The booking of Dale Swift very much catches the eye given he is 3-10 for the yard I am definitely buoyed with optimism of a return to form. Tracy Waggott has had an excellent season so far and her and Swift teamed up for a winner in the last 14 days and with ground conditions fine if bouncing back I think Mission Impossible could put in a big display today.

Usuallly have a look at what you have to say Rossom and if I like the look of it have a wager , this horse certainly looked over priced , only a small wager of 12e ( low -stacked on a Monday ! ) but 120e in the arse pocket very nice ! great tipping and thank you Rossom !

rossom

No worries Mocha Joe and Chips - glad you were on.

Mocha Joe

Maybe just because I have some money to play with but like Mont Blanc in this race at Newcastle and Angelic Upstart in the next at Epsom. Small stakes on each and very small double.

rossom

Fairly lacklustre performance from Mission Impossible. He'll get better handicapped and will win again at some stage but probably not for a while.

Morgans

Brilliantly reasoned Rossom. You might have had bigger priced winners but you have made fewer more convincing arguements than this one. The logic behind the bet was brilliant. You deserve even more credit than normal for this one. Bravo!

Outstanding tipping rossom, I'm in awe of your ability to keep track of so many horses so effectively.
