I think I better join this bandwagon! :pac:

I'm actually amazed by how well its going to be honest. I just hope he can maintain the form through the summer. He's a jockey that seems to be constantly under the radar which is suiting just fine. Maybe doing this log is the worst thing I could do!!

mike65 · 12-05-2012 06:09PM

Well my De Sousa logs saw him end up as a retained jockey for Mark Johnston with the result his winning prices fell through the floor!

Swift Cat, 33/1. Beaut.

mike65 · 14-05-2012 06:47PM

I picked a good day to start following you following Jim!

Just a note to note that Swift Cat was gelded, he's not the first long shot winner lately to have got the snip and won next time out.

MyStubbleItches · 14-05-2012 07:13PM

Gald you were on Mike.

That's the wonderful thing about backing blind. I don't have to count how many nuts the horse has!!

daviddunne1992 · 14-05-2012 07:43PM

Thanks for Swift Cat

Nassau Storm won @ 8/1, the rest didn't do much. forgot to increase the stakes so will do from now on.

Balance €332.05

MyStubbleItches · 15-05-2012 09:43PM

Just one tomorrow at York. Looks a tough ask.

1.30 Right Step €5 e/w @ 9/1

Robinwood · 16-05-2012 08:26AM

I hope the next time they all rock.

MyStubbleItches · 16-05-2012 09:15PM

Tough ask it was, Right Step couldn't make any impression today.

Salisbury tomorrow and Newmarket in the evening.

Sal

1.40 Rosaria €5 e/w @ 12/1

2.10 Danube River €5 e/w @ 8/1

2.40 Ask The Guru €10 @ 10/3

3.45 Despatch €5 e/w @ 12/1

New

7.00 Jambobo €5 e/w @ 66/1

7.35 Signed Up €5 e/w @ 16/1

Bloodsweatandtears also runs at Newmarket but Crowley isn't on him even though he has no other ride in the race. Strange.

Edit: I mada a bit of a boo-boo by backing one of Eve Johnson-Houghton's runners on PP instead of Boyles so there is €2 more than there should be in play. (horse is Zingata at 16/1)

MyStubbleItches · 17-05-2012 10:54PM

Caught for time and will be tomorrow too.

Ask the Guru won today, no returns from the others leaving the balance at €303.38.

4 tomorrow at York. All backed e/w at 9/1, 14/1, 16/1 and 40/1.

MyStubbleItches · 19-05-2012 02:49PM

Electrelane placed yesterday to leave the balance at €279.63.

Hungover and going beering soon so all backed again today and I seem to have mistakenly backed one of them twice. Will hopefully make sense of it all tomorrow.

MyStubbleItches · 19-05-2012 02:52PM

Jaysus, just checked results and Pabusar got beaten a head by Palace Moon who has done well for Crowley before. 25/1. Feck retainers anyway!!

MyStubbleItches · 19-05-2012 05:11PM

Rhagori is the one backed twice at 10/1.

MyStubbleItches · 21-05-2012 11:03AM

Right, apologies to anyone keeping an eye on this. A mate is heading abroad for a few years so was on the beer for the weekend, hence the crappy posting.

I mistakenly backed Rhagori twice (internet was slow, PP site was slow and my head was definitely slow). Turned out to be a lucky mistake as he finished 4th with 4 places paid. I'd be a lot sicker now if that hadn't been the case!

No mounts today unfortunately. Back in action tomorrow evening.

Balance €279.63.

MyStubbleItches · 21-05-2012 09:17PM

Two tomorrow evening at Kempton.

8.00 Arch Villain €5 e/w @ 11/1

8.30 Loyal N Trusted €5 e/w @ 11/2

I'm bending the rules slightly by backing the second e/w at the current price.Three reasons, it's a hot race to me, I think it'll drift slightly and its 1/4 odds 1,2,3.

Arch Villian wins @ 8/1. Love Jim Crowley a very underrated jockey. Good stuff with the log

MyStubbleItches · 22-05-2012 08:59PM

There's some satisfaction in being right about the second race being tough to call, there's no satisfaction when it doesn't matter a f**k cos the horse was out of the places anyway!

Arch Villain did the business for Jim and his sis-in-law, going off at 8/1.

I feel a bit guilty having gone through today's results. He had two rides at Nottingham that I missed completely. A 33/1 and 40/1. Going on my current 'strategy', I should be €20 less. Looking at the prices though, I'd feel a bit of a fool for betting 'big' on such outsiders. I know he had a 33/1 winner in Swift Cat not so long ago but this would be an exception rather than a rule.

From now on, anything longer than 16/1 when I post up his rides will be €2.50 e/w. I'm using this log as an experiment as such for future following of Crowley. If I was using a starting bank of, say, €1000, I couldn't see myself in reality putting €25 or €50 e/w on any long-priced horse.

'Tis my log, Bull. :cool:

Balance €335.63

MyStubbleItches · 22-05-2012 09:17PM

4.30 Pucon €5 e/w @ 7/1

5.00 Aquilifer €10 @ 9/2

mike65 · 23-05-2012 10:26AM

Yeah, just did them in shop in singles and a €5 e/w acc. Would be nice!!

MyStubbleItches · 23-05-2012 07:22PM

Only Scottish Glen returned money but it means a profit. Won fairly handily at 7/1.

Balance €361.23

MyStubbleItches · 23-05-2012 07:36PM

He has one tomorrow at Goodwood and a few at Sandown in the evening. Goodwood priced.

It'd be right handy if they just priced them all up and be done with it. Its a right pain in the ass having to log in at 10 am to get the price early.
