    Agree nobody is forcing anybody to punt these...
    The only question I would like to know the answer to is why Jerry regularly puts up EW bets in races with really crappy EW terms? I am genuinely curious as to what the thinking is, as far as I can see they are long term losing bets whatever way you look at it...

    3.35 Cantango 2pts e/w 9/1 4 places powers 1/5 odds

    Cantango comes back down to a mid eighties mark 85 and gets nearly perfect racing conditions this afternoon,
    soft ground, class 3 handicap.
    R. HORNBY rides the horse for the first time today, he has had five winners in the last month so keeping his toe in the water.
    A.Balding was very sweet on this one a while back but he ran no sort of race.
    Today he says
    Contango has been really disappointing this season so I have tried the visor on him at home and they have certainly woken him up. If he translates that to the course today he would be a very well handicapped horse! Could run a big race.

    P.S
    Regarding going back to having a bet almost everyday, that's not for me I'm afraid as I like certain horses at certain prices so I will hold my fire until the good national hunt races start.

    Jerry

    4.25 boric 100/30 3pts win


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭del roy


    4.25 boric 100/30 3pts win

    Over the last five years trainer Mr S. Waugh has send 30 runners to Sedgefield resulting in five winners plus 4 placed horses.
    Boric has only raced twice at Sedgefield, one race being this race twelve months ago where he finished 2nd (3LB lower today) and another 3m plus handicap chase (10 runners) which he won.
    Boric ran second to Belmount (winner again since with a 6LB penalty) at Perth last month, he was also the winner of the Highland National at Perth.

    I do realize he is only 4/29 in all jump races however he has not been out of the first two when racing here and when he has things in his favour like today he seems to run very well.

    Dundalk


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭del roy


    Jerry just sent me this.

    8.30 ar saoirse 2pts e/w 20/1

    D.Marnane has quite a decent strike rate at Dundalk for a small trainer. He is 9/64 in the winning and 17 of his other runners were placed.
    The jockey he has booked has ridden four winners from seven rides, the horse has placed form at Dundalk when 10LB higher in the ratings so really he is not a 20/1 in my book.
