    You gonna post selections anyway XP?

    You done well today.


  • Moderators Posts: 8,932 ✭✭✭x PyRo


    I'll stick up a few mate, won't get to see them run though. :(

    Didn't do too badly - staked 7pts, returned 16.62pts with a profit of 9.62pts. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick! I always do crap the day after making a profit so it may be best to lay anything I put up. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,408 ✭✭✭ft9


    Are you going away for a while or whats the crack?

    In other words, am I gonna miss out on your selections for Wed and Thur in Galway :D?


  • Moderators Posts: 8,932 ✭✭✭x PyRo


    I'll be partying hard at a function (:pac:) tomorrow night. I highly doubt that I'll be fit enough to get things up on Wednesday, but Thursday will be covered. I've little else to be at!

    A day without looking at a race will do no harm anyways, the oul' brain is fried into a million pieces at this stage! I'll definitely be cheering on Canford against Frankel. Can't wait for that, should be beyond epic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,408 ✭✭✭ft9


    Can't wait for it myself, but i'll be roaring on Frankel!! Hope he takes off like a train again

  • Moderators Posts: 8,932 ✭✭✭x PyRo


    If he takes off like a train then I'll eat my own leg off if Canford can't catch him. That would be playing into CC's hands big time and I doubt it'll happen. Although every way I look at that race I fail to see how Frankel can beat Canford.

    I'm blinded my monetary love though. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,408 ✭✭✭ft9


    Yeah, restraint is key on Frankel this time, I just love the sight of him bolting on though. Should be class!

    Fingers crossed it goes a little better than the king george, devestating stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,408 ✭✭✭ft9


    Ya might get a chance to do a bit of investigating into the plate for us XP


  • Moderators Posts: 8,932 ✭✭✭x PyRo


    Anyone wanting my advice in a NH race should be shot! Bar that hurdle winner today, I just can't pick 'em. Will take a look anyways.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,408 ✭✭✭ft9


    I never said I'm gonna back them, I like to take your views, and other tipsters and mash them up against my own and maybe take 1 or 2 reasonably confident bets for the day.

    I wouldn't have asked ya only look at your poxy start today! :D

    Galway

    5:05 - RaggleTagglleGypsy

  • Moderators Posts: 8,932 ✭✭✭x PyRo


    +9.62pts yesterday after a 9/1 winner in the first, followed by 20 & 25/1 places in the next couple. The other four were poor enough.

    Same thing again, either 1pt win or 0.5pts e/w. No time for reasoning (thoroughly studied all the races though, God help me), although a couple of the Goodwood ones are posted in my challenge/log thread.

    Goodwood

    2:00 - Spanish Duke - e/w @ 22/1, 4 places
    2:35 - Hurricane Higgins - e/w @ 28/1
    3:10 - Red Jazz - win @ 8/1
    3:45 - Miss Work Of Art - e/w @ 16/1
    4:20 - Wolf Spirit - win @ 10/1
    4:50 - Viva Vettori - e/w @ 16/1, 4 places
    5:25 - La Fortunata - e/w @ 14/1, 4 places

    Galway

    5:05 - Raggletagglegypsy - win @ 8/1
    5:35 - Sarteano - win @ 6/1
    6:10 - Dusty Trail - e/w @ 16/1, 4 places
    6:45 - Lightening Stricks - e/w @ 14/1, 4 places
    7:15 - Skipping this one
    7:45 - Footprint - win @ 8/1
    8:15 - Also skipping this, fav should win but terrible price.

    Looks like a bookies benefit day for sure.

    Good shout on Namibian lads. Hurricane Higgins went out early and was in second but couldn't stay the pace the last couple of furlongs unfortunately.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,103 ✭✭✭Derek!


    Third place, brilliant :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,882 ✭✭✭✭kippy


    Great call on Requinto Lads!!
    "invested €100 today on a selection of the tips above (that was the first race I bet on) and got 73.60 back!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,335 ✭✭✭✭UrbanSea


    I make a small profit if my double loses. Waiting for the second part of it,if it wins I earn myself a fair few squids :D

    I think 'Miss Mary Mac' @9-1 in the 5.35 is good e/w value.
