    Hotspur88 reacted to The Equaliser in Racing Chat - Tuesday 6th April   
    Yes, I feel that trying to find even a few winning favourites out of any day's racing is a tough job.  Even at Exeter today there were only two 10/11 favourite winners with a 4/9 shot being beaten.  And, who could have guessed the 50/1 shot Itsabouttime? Well The Star tipped it but I don't think that many people would have backed it.  You are very brave to have quite a number of selections throughout the day.  I feel that the ideal way is to consider a number of fancied runners from the next day's racing and then to eliminate the weaker ones and only back the ones that appear to have the strongest chance of winning a race bearing in mind their nearest rivals in the market.  If they all lose what the heck but do not then settle for the second best options, they rarely come good imo.  There is always another day in racing where one's skill and judgment will shine through and counteract earlier disappointments.  Good luck ?

    Thank you very much. Had a profitable day yesterday and between the two days they counteracted the horrendous day I had on Sunday when I was down 17pts. 
    Just started looking at tomorrow, looks a tough day so might play it safe.

    One more added due to French winner, liked this last night but wasn't sure what to do. (Wonderful World) has experience on side and should take all the beating.

    I think anybody who bets at SP these days doesn't really understand betting. There are so many other options available compared to when I first started betting.

    I would be surprised if Canelo actually runs.
    Alan King has actually gone on record saying that he hates the Grand National and won't even attend Aintree on Grand National day.
    Its a race he just doesn't agree with. So unless he has real persuasive owners, I would cast doubt on its participation

    I was willing the winning jockey to get over excited and fail to weigh in. I had the second and third in a forecast!!!

    I got it wrong about Before Midnight; luckily my recovery bet won.  Anyway, no damage done as my net profit was £1.49.  My new balance is £539.63 (Bank £500)
    May focus on Exeter tomorrow as there is more stable form over the jumps atm imo

    Run Wild Fred 14/1 e/w @ William Hill
    I've been given this and I know it's a National but I've had 1pt e/w (2pts total). 
    Was fancied at Cheltenham and then pulled with maybe this in mind. 
    Passing on in good faith ?
