Getting a tip for a horse in Ireland can be expensive,especially when Elliot has the 1st and 2nd favs but I have been told Samos Island will run well in the 4.35 at Punchestown.

This will prove a good bumper imo,several well backed and gamble landed on the winner,i put them all in the tracker and will watch with interest when they reappear.

SAMOS a big drifter in the face of strong support for the winner,not knocked about and should be of interest when next out.

8.00 vitesse du son 8/1

Who where is this

Wonderful Tonight 2.30 ascot is well suited by soft.At 9 to 2 is a safe ew bet in Powers who are going 4 places.

I stuck Wonderful Tonight and Cape Byron 12 to1 with the two I have already backed in an optimistic ew lucky 15.

Zimmermania . Great picks today.
Well done

Kirby gave a master class on riding a hold up horse in the 7.10,or was he just lucky to get the gaps getting through on the inside?

a text this morning for Actuary in the 4.35 GP, both Keane and Foley wanted the ride but Keane got the nod. Second Fav at the moment.

Zezenia was pulled up when saddle slipped last time,likes it soft and can win the fillies handicap 3.20 Newmarket.

Shane Foley has never once ridden for Twomey so that wouldn't be true.

Might not be true but it won

Positives for punters in lockdown?

Punting is a very minor thing with what is happening all around us now but life goes on albeit in a tototally different way and perhaps with the betting shops closed for the next 6 weeks we can all look at how we bet on horses and how much we actually put in the pockets of bookmakers.

Now we have nowhere to hide,our online accounts will tell us exactly what we win or lose over the next 6 weeks,no forgetting the odd score ew when we slipped into the betting shop and bringing on losses from one week to the next.

I am going to look at the bets i place more carefully and while betting on horses is a hobby for many of us we should try to ensure the hobby costs as little as possibe,many will be surprised by the amount we bet when its all added up and we will see clearly the type of punters we are.

I am more or less an ew punter,i like big handicaps that are difficult to solve and i spend a bit of time on them most weeks when i have time.

I also bet on group and condition races and occasionally one can get exceptional value but normally prices are tight and the top yards mop up.
Addeybb was a rare exception last saturday when near the top of the ratings and better than ever on ground he loves he went off at 9/1.

That was unusual but it does happen,we have accept that we will back a lot of losers if we chase the winners of the big handicaps week in week out but with the form well established and finding one laid out for a race,getting on at a good price and seeing the horse come home in front is very satisfying.

Whatever method we use use we should now try to look coldly at our betting patterns and use this period to improve.

JUMAIRA BAY has run some good races but only has a maiden win to his credit,wore blinkers last time and they seemed to help.

It is probable that he is genuine enough but the blinkers may help him to concentrate.

Roger Varian may have found the right race for him in the 4.oc at Newbury and as we know he handles soft ground he is worth backing.

I have a feeling the money will come for this fellow tomorrow.
