    :(

    Jolly won as he liked :D:D

    At least it don't count for stats :pac:

    Well done on the place. Why doesn’t your lay bet count for stats? Otherwise you’re just sugar coating and convincing yourself you’re doing better than you are.

    Well done on the place. Why doesn’t your lay bet count for stats? Otherwise you’re just sugar coating and convincing yourself you’re doing better than you are.

    Ta,

    Only bets that count for stats are straight win, and each way singles, Any other bets done or not done; if mentioned, are just opinions. No lay bets count. I mention some lay bets from time to time giving my opinion, which doesn't necessarily meet the thread criteria, nor does it go against it,

    Purpose of thread is to see If I can turn a profit to level stakes singles 1pt win or 1pt each way.

    Secondary purpose is to give a few that folks; if they like, can back blind for small money. I may also chew the cud vis a vis 'lay the fav for a place' , or back w/o jolly , or reverse forecast etc etc..

    I recommended an each way double a few posts back; which also didn't count..

    Am looking forward to getting a few of them 'ancillary' bets recommendations up, and not include for stats purposes.

    Besides, the SP is universal - different books offer different prices on place bets/ short priced favs not to win. Then again some books go 4 a fifth on 12-14 runner handicaps, and some just the 3 a quarter. Makes it very awkward too, as the belief may be that "he's only claiming he got 4 places a fifth just cos his pick came fourth". Plenty won't believe anyway, but I'll still post the stats based on my winners or losers.

    Leff

    A few more at Hexham with e/w claims.


    2.25 Espoir Moriviere 9/1

    Craig Nichol didn't exactly cover himself in glory there - dunno was he off the bridle 2-3 furlongs out, or was he caught on heels. Looked like he got caught behind one twice in the space of 100/150yds. He then met the last on a bad stride, and that pretty much done for the horse's chances. Thought he should have taken a bit of a pull myself, and put in a short one at the last; in the hope that he had enough horse left to make up the 1 1/2 to 2 lengths that would have cost him.

    Still, at least he was trying....

    2.15 Lingfield Amaretto 12/1 e/w

    Last few runs have been over hurdles, and this 5yr old is back on the flat today. With quite a few C & D winners in this race; from his berth in stall 7 I would give him a good chance here, provided he's on song. Over this trip Jim Boyle's horse likes to be close to the pace from out wide. A few up with the pace, and frontrunners in this, so getting a clear passage should be easy enough with most of the three on his outside having a propensity for going forward. With Amaretto's experienced 5lb claiming jockey Rhiain Ingram on top; I can only hope he doesn't cede too much ground by being too far wide for much of the race. He potentially has a few pounds in hand from his last win over a mile 2 at the course. A good each way bet imo, and I hope he has enough left inside the 2 pole to mount a serious challenge.

    Happy with today's selections, and am confident of a good run for my money today.

    Gluck all


    ^^^^^^^

    Unlike Craig Nichol's ride - that one was pure rancid. Jockey slow out the gates - manages to get within a respectable distance, and when 3-4 fs out when the horse was cruising, not a move from the jockey :mad: Waits until about the 2 pole to urge her charge onwards :rolleyes: Hadn't a chance at that stage...

    12.07 Taunton Berboru 66/1 e/w

    Only 6 go to post here in this selling hurdle; so only 2 places on offer. The top 2 in the betting at close to evens look like filling those spots, so this one is just a pure punt.


  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Taunton 1.42 Numero Uno 40/1 e/w

    The top 3 in the betting have a few question marks imo. Something at a big price could well make the frame in this, or even win. So I plumped for this fella, who's only 4, and, looking at his latest 2 runs I can make somewhat of a case at the prices for him in this race today. The trainer has also had more winners at the course since 2010, than the rest of them put together; so there's that too.

    3.17 Taunton Boagrius 11/2 win

    Latest run after an absence was pretty decent. Is a course winner, and Robbie Power is on board for the first time. Has seen some money - was as big as 10s earlier - but still alright at the current prices.


  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    7.30 Chelmsford Essgee Nics 6/1 win

    Last 2 runs over C & D were okay, but from high enough draws. Is drawn lower today. Another one that has seen money today, but still at a fair price. Is current third favourite, and I at least prefer him over the 2 ahead of him in the market.


  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    8.00 Chelmsford Valletta Sunset 10/1 e/w

    A few in this that cases can be made for. This one is a bit of value; as I feel on form, and price, that he has solid win and place credentials. Latest run; which was at Lingfield over 2fs shorter, was his first on the AW. I feel he has some scope for improvement. First time blinkers too, and I only view this as a positive, though the pundits generally like to differ - they can't hurt anyway.


  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    1.50 Newcastle Notre Ami 14/1 e/w , Madam Scully 40/1 e/w

    Notre Ami is topweight and down in grade, and could be capable of a bold showing.

    Madam Scully is the bottomweight, and a big price, but is not out of this imo. Mare has only had 9 outings over hurdles, and her run at Catterick in January could well see her go close here.

    Gluck :)

    5.30 delayed - Zahirah win 4/1


  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    6.30 Chel Invincible Larne win

    Only 5 in this. Think this fella will be favoured to win here; provided the step up to a Class 4 isn't too high a grade, - has only won 2 Class 5s before - as he's been running well at the course lately. I think he's capable of putting in the fastest time today. Price smaller than I normally put up, but I think he wins today.

    5/2 and bigger currently - might wait a bit to see if he goes a bit higher. Still counts for stats tho :pac:

    7.00 Chel Global Art 9/2 e/w . Lucky's Dream 12/1 e/w

    A trappy affair with only 6 going to post, so I'm going to chance 2 in a race where the topweight and fav Power of States could be vulnerable. Not for stats, but a combi forecast with jolly as well :D

    Also, to add; I'm not liking the fav Bushypark here. Ground supposedly goodish. Races he won impressively recently were on soft and heavy going. That would make him a solid place lay for me at somewhere around 1.25, but I'm not on the exchanges, so won't be doing him myself.

    I hope the ground stays the way it currently is described as good to soft, as that would favour my selections.

    2.17 Doncaster Doctor Dex 20/1 e/w

    Ran okay - looked like threatening about 4-5fs out; but faded alas in the last 2 1/2fs, or so.... Got a bit of a run though, so there's that.. 'A run for our money' is part of this craic too - won't be collecting, but I don't expect any returns from at least half the selections... Many more to come, and hopefully get a few shouts (albeit muted :pac: - damn apartments and looney neighbours :mad: :(:D :P ) in; plus might get a winner again yet... :)

    8.15 Heer We Go Again 8/1

    At the prices I think Bruyere, and Heer We Go Again are the picks of the bunch. Goddess Of Fire in the 5.45 is the most interesting one; especially if she sees any money.

    ref this one for future: 1056rkbrdld

    Hopefully can collect on 1 or 3 :)

    I see Micky's at it again - another Hammond plunge in the 4.45 Wol with Burnage Boy into 14s from 40s... Am not seeing the angle myself - very poor form, and I think it's the jockey's first ever ride.

    Was trying to make a case for Al Ozzdi myself, but couldn't.

    Had another look, and at a big price I went for AMOR FATI 16/1 e/w. This one is a bit hit and miss, but is a 3 time course winner, and can get involved here with a decent late run. Gina Mangan; who claims 7, takes the ride. Trainer David Evans is in form as well. The combo have had a recent winner with Siavash (who goes in the 5.45 under Charles Bishop this time) last month. Can make a case for a few in this from an each way perspective, but apart from Amor Fati, they are too short imo...

    2.30 Southwell Dame du Soir 22/1 e/w

    Bit of a punt this one. I think the second and third favourites are vulnerable; either owing to the ground, which is soft (Nordica Bleue) , and the trip which may be too short at 2m (Shantung). The selection is mainly a chaser, and, in her few hurdles bids she has only prevailed once. I'm hoping she can take a lead, and at least be still in contention before the taps are turned on.

    Not at all confident about this one's chances, but at the prices I can't resist having a bet all the same :P Saying that though, if one or two at the top of the market don't run as well as expected the door could be left open for a bigger priced one to get a place.


  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    A poor day yesterday, and the majority of races I'm not liking the look of for trying to find a few darts. Hopefully the above can at least put up a bold showing. It's her second hurdles outing in a row on the back of her most recent two runs prior to that over the larger obstacles; where she unseated the rider in one, and fell in the other.

    Has had 1 win in both chase and hurdles, and they were over 2 miles, so it's interesting that Dame du Soir's latest outing over hurdles was over 2 1/2 miles. Could be the trainer was trying to get her to drop a few pounds to give her a chance in a race like today's, and thus give her confidence if and when she tackles the larger obstacles again.

    Her trainer David Bridgwater has a very good strike rate at the course with 13 winners from 62 runners over the past 10 years.

    12.55 Southwell Joly Maker 9/2 win , Nobel Leader 11/1 e/w

    Think Jonjo's is a massive price at 9/2; although it has drifted from 5/2. On form it has the best chance here no doubt. Am not understanding the drift at all.

    Nobel Leader at 11/1 I can't resist going each way on, as he's won at this distance before on soft ground. As well as that; 8 of the 9 horses have ran here before, and the 2 I've gone for are the only ones to have won at Southwell - both with a strike rate of 1 from 3.

    Also done a reverse forecast - just sayin....


    Gluck :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭pottokblue


    Good luck with Jolymaker I have it in my placepot. I also have a WIN bet on Mocremehas. I think that JP might have a couple of Sunday winners and Limerick to win the Liam Cup

    Yeah, that Mocacreme Has looks the likely winner... Not for me at 5/4 though.. His first run over the sticks was promising..

    The one I'd like to be on each way; as I only just looked at the race, and he is still a nice price is Balleticon at around 9/2. Might back him yet. Was a good run at Bangor lto in a Bumper, where he came a respectable 5th, not beaten far in a good time. First run over the sticks, and a long absence though.

    Not liking the second fav The Hoax at all, as he ran no sort of race on heavy in his bumper, but he did come 2nd lto in a hurdles race, but that was on good ground.

    Maybe back Balleticon e/w, or w/o jolly, or both :D Decisions decisions :pac:

    Edit to add I have done Balleticon win at 4/1 just now - for stats purposes

    Good luck all

    Rancid - jockey never gave him a chance. A pure crookery combo. What can ya do when a horse is almost twice the price he should be... drifters win too :mad: :( :mad::mad:

    Delighted with that - Nordica Bleue withdrawn at start left just two places with only 7 runners. Was touch and go if she'd get placed coming to the last.

    5.30 Kempton Purple Paddy 15/2 e/w , Casavola 28/1 e/w

    Will give this Purple Paddy another chance. Needs a smooth passage, and can come with a sustained burst at the end.

    Casavola is a punt job. 4 runs, and she's finished closer to the winner each time.

    7/12

    A couple I really like today, and one's a punt...


    4.05 Wolves Greengage 8/1 e/w
    I think 12fs at the course is ideal for this mare. She was staying on well at the course over 2 1/2fs less a couple of runs back. That was in a Class 5 - goes today in a Class 6. Drawn wide in 10 should be ideal for a hold-up performer. Is twice a course winner, and has won over today's trip before at Newcastle.

    3.55 Chelmsford Lady Alavesa 22/1 e/w
    Another mare, and performs best when held up. Only 8 in this race, so hopefully she won't encounter too much trouble when making a late bid for glory. Has been banging on the door the last twice she ran here (over C & D). I'm confident of a good run today at a juicy price.

    Plumpton 2.05 Mon Petit Cheri 150/1 e/w hope :p
    I was scrolling through the racecard, and "The Chase" was on, and just as I was glancing at this one a question about Tony Blair was asked by Bradders. Could be written in stars, and her trainer who is also a female has been among the winners recently, and Paige the jockey has feminine credentials also. This one is a filly, so in the same ballpark as the other two (confident) selections. Stranger things have been known to happen eh?

    Gluck :) Am due :D


    :( I've only gone and picked the wrong day to have a punt on this one, - I scarcely looked at any of the jumps cards today - she's after coming 2nd today at 200 to flippin one in the 12.15 Plumpton :pac:
