    ...that I'd never be posting any "insider info" on here anymore...and I meant that, I really did. However, ahemm...one more for the road eh. Today's racing look's like a typical puzzle...I mean little ridge should win the 4.30...and Mark Equal should win the 4.10....but I'm not going to go into there chances now.
    I got an email from a trusted friend of mine from England. He says, and I allow you all to roll your eyes at this one, that he spoke with Roger Ingram (The trainer of this horse that I know he knows) and he said that his horse BOULE D'OR should walk the 5.05 contest in NAD AL SHEBA today. Now God himself in the clear blue sky only knows why I keep setting myself up for these falls but when I told my mate of my shame of passing on that Down Royal one yesterday he told me that I must make ammends to everyone with this one.
    He is currently 4-1 joint favourite to win this race and to be honest I think he has a super chance myself seeing as though he's already won one race over there. After this I'm gonna go back too writing mini essys about why I think certain horses should win, that way you can all make up your minds for yourselves...

    It certainly is the stand out horse in the race. A lot of english All Weather Types in this, the only really decent horse in the race is Privy Seal and he hasn't run since September.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,639 ✭✭✭[nicK]


    could somebody please explain how an "each way" bet pays out when your horse comes in 1st? (example.. 100each way)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,937 ✭✭✭fade2black


    :) Im happy now. Well done all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,475 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    100 each way means laying 200

    you get 100 as a win at the full odds and 100 as a place at 1/4 odds

    if its finishes second or third u lose the first 100 and get the second at 100 at 1/4 odds

    Ok as you probably know, 100 each way is 100 win and 100 place.
    ok - lets say the horse is 4/1... you get 500 for the win part (400+your stake back) and 200 for the place part (1/4 the odds which is 100 +your stake back). Which gives you a total of 700..

    fair play fade2black - had €30 win on her!
    makes up for the shiiiiiiiiiite day I had at work :0


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,080 ✭✭✭Crumbs


    Did you notice that there was a horse called Bailador in the race along with Boule D'Or?

    After the race, as I'm trying to work out how much I win from €2,500 each-way, I realise that I've backed the wrong horse!! Gah!! :eek: Damn dslxseyai!!

    Not really, of course. I'm quids in. Thanks fade! It took some balls to post that after yesterday's bumper at Down Royal.

    And speaking of balls, Boule D'Or has two of them - it's a he people, not a she. Sorry, I'm just pedantic when it comes to the sex of horses. Annoys me for some reason. (*Represses even more memories of being called a girl at school*)

    So in future I'll just try and filter through the bull**** from the good "info".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,937 ✭✭✭fade2black


    You're right though about that horse Bailador, I kept on thinking it was our one which was fine because he seemed to be in a better position all the way around. If you'll notice at the start of the race Boule D'or was shuffled back a load of places so did well to win in the end.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,807 ✭✭✭chump


    It came through very well though... excellent tip, cheers

    Good call there fade, I wonder if we'll see it run again before the carnival ends. It won very easilly and was by no means flat out so it would still have a great chance turned out again even with a 6lb penalty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,077 ✭✭✭joe.


    any more tips there fadetoblack??

    I think he's out again on the 25th, only word from them is that they're expecting a big run. We'll have to wait until closer to the day lads

    He's pricewise's selection in the big race at Lingfield today. Rang my mate and he said that the horse has changed stables since Dubai and he thinks that horse's best days are behind him, back at Nad Al Sheba.#

    *Ran a great race in fairness...just touched off into second.
