Just like buses, my cousin waits over three months for his second ride and then gets two in a week.

He's on Finlays Footsteps in the 3.50 at Market Rasen (2m 6f handicap hurdle) today. This is the one he was on when unseated at the last on Stephen's Day when six lengths clear. Has had two runs since then which were pretty disappointing although both were in muddy conditions and it's expected the good ground should suit him again. Cousin takes ten pounds off which is always nice

He's a young horse with a decent pedigree which should suggest bags of speed although how useful that will be over 22 furlongs is to be seen. The yard is in decent form lately and the fact that he has travelled so far with this horse gives me some confidence. They're based on Teeside and have travelled this far south with him, think it's at least a 500 mile round trip.

Unfortunately no big price today which is a bit of a negative but at 13/2 should still turn a small profit if he gets placed.

Racing Post says

SPOTLIGHT Struggled in the mud both starts since fluffing a winning opportunity when blundering and unseating this rider at the last (6l clear at time) over 2m4f on good ground at Sedgefield on Boxing Day; return to better ground may help and could see him runningwell

mike65 · 06-04-2008 11:25am

Off to check the form of the field

Mike.

Collie D · 06-04-2008 3:12pm

Absolute stinker. Had to be ridden after the first two flights, think he was 12th of 14 in the end. Don't think I could back him again, looks like a monkey of the highest order.

mike65 · 07-04-2008 9:31am

I did'nt as I was out of the house (prolly would have backed the Davidson ride though).

Good stuff. Felt a bit bad handing out a duff tip. I'm getting the feeling that he'll probably piss up at 20/1 next week now. Kind of get the impression that the trainer's a bit of a shrewdie/gangster - delete depending on your own feelings.

mike65 · 07-04-2008 10:45am

It always a gamble - look at Masterminded!

Mike.

will1977 · 08-04-2008 2:37pm

friend of mine talking to Michael Hourigan yesterday. El Jo at 1830, great e/w chance

patmac · 08-04-2008 2:50pm

Thanks will back it ew 25/1 with Laddies it's at 18.10 btw

nkay1985 · 08-04-2008 6:18pm

I see he came in fourth. Were they paying to four or only three???

will1977 · 09-04-2008 8:58am

Paid for the first 4 places

:)

patmac · 09-04-2008 9:12am

Nice one Will had a few bob each way @ 25/1, thanks for that.

Keano · 13-04-2008 3:53pm

Just got a phonecall about Gonebeyondrecall in the 5.45 at The Curragh

Tip from a friend of the trainer

Currently 4.6 on Betfair

Keano · 13-04-2008 5:49pm

Down the field... Sorry

mike65 · 13-04-2008 5:51pm

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

He was second fav at the off.

Mike.

conZ · 13-04-2008 5:57pm

This feckin horse.. That trainer is from Spancilhill. Wouldn't back any of his horses. Gonebeyond recall is "the best horse he's ever had in training,' - wasn't it bought at the Land Rover Millions and won the corresponding race last year? Trainer is quite the weasel. If i'd seen this post I would have advised you against it. Overhyped horses, not a great trainer.

Keano · 13-04-2008 5:57pm

Ya I seen that but I knew from 2 furlongs out he wasn't winning

patmac · 25-04-2008 1:42pm

Got a tip for Rinroe Punchestown 4.55 now 9/2 from 7/1

Keano · 25-04-2008 3:27pm

I'll take a trip to my bookies on the way home - thank patmac

mike65 · 25-04-2008 3:34pm

patmac PM me next time you have a horse! :pac: I'm sticking with Fiveforthree myself. Walsh/Mullins

Citizen Vic in the 6.30 is apparently worth a shout.

Mike.

bassy · 25-04-2008 3:56pm

rinroe 7/1 at the off

bassy · 25-04-2008 4:00pm

goodnight boys

mike65 · 25-04-2008 4:06pm

At least I had an insured bet (as I always do on big punts).

Mike.

Never got going, cheers anyways mate.

ian.f · 26-04-2008 11:41am

You lads should really consider getting an aftertiming lounge installed in this place

mike65 · 03-05-2008 1:54pm

DR FAUSTUS - Newmarket 5:10 HANDICAP 1m 2f 0y. Currently 2.25/1 which is tight but looks solid. Michael Stoute and Ryan Moore have just had a winner with Heaven Sent and take out Perfect Stride in the big one at 3.25

edit - came in by 2 or 3 lenghts.

Mike.

jameshayes · 08-05-2008 12:55pm

mike65 · 08-05-2008 1:22pm

I was on him e/w (small stakes) but I did'nt see this post (I reached the choice though my own random genuius!

)

Mike.

jameshayes · 08-05-2008 1:24pm

Well done - smokey storm in 2:30 looks good

mike65 · 08-05-2008 1:29pm

Hate very small fields. No room for error.

edit He didn't look that good! bad luck.

Saviles Delight in the 3.00 should a very solid guarenteed place bet option.

Mike.

Keano · 08-05-2008 1:30pm

james had you been away or something - haven't seen you around these parts in a while?

Nice tip - pity I only seen the thread now

EireEV · 08-05-2008 1:32pm

I've done an each way on the treble..

What are the realistic chances if All The Aces and Toto Skyllachy?

Had Championship Point at 12/1 - how did you get 18s?

jameshayes · 08-05-2008 1:33pm

Was 18's on betfair at one point

EireEV · 08-05-2008 1:33pm

So why have you picked the other 2?

jameshayes · 08-05-2008 1:33pm

Tip from a friend in the know - he's a statician(sp?)

mike65 · 08-05-2008 1:42pm

All the Aces is a very solid e/w option no question, got the form heading one way only, speed rating suggests wont stay ahead of the top horses but 11/1 is worth a go.

I've stuck a few euro on him.

Mike.

EireEV · 08-05-2008 1:42pm

any Irish radio station to listen in to the action?

jameshayes · 08-05-2008 1:42pm

He's 13/1 on BF at the mo, I'm placing him a 2-1

jameshayes · 08-05-2008 1:43pm

William hill radio will give you the race online...

http://www.willhill.com/iibs/EN/radio.asp

Vivaldi is throwing me - I think he might be strong too

EireEV · 08-05-2008 1:45pm

Thanks - tried that earlier but couldn't log on..

Lads seem to think DR Freemantle is the one...

EireEV · 08-05-2008 1:48pm

almost !!

mike65 · 08-05-2008 1:50pm

Nearly! Still I'll get a few bob back, jameshayes you did the wise thing.

Mike.

T-b0n3 · 08-05-2008 1:53pm

Yea I took the risk and put All the Aces to win! Nearly..ah well!!

Adam

jameshayes · 08-05-2008 1:59pm

Tudor Prince - Place @ 15:00

EireEV · 08-05-2008 2:03pm
