    Re: Sandown 31/01

    3.10 NIGHT CRU 16/1 A bit surprised McCoy didn't get drafted onto this after Afrad was withdrawn. Was well backed fav lto. Worth a bet at the price imo. 4.20 NIKOLA 40/1 The drop back to 2 miles may suit this horse and looks overpriced at 40's to me.

    7 Bets per Day

    Re: 7 Bets per Day Todays Selections all from Sandown 1:30 - Optimus Maximus Backed this one LTO when disposing of a couple of smart rivals, Was part of a succesful foru-fold that day, with Mad Max, Planet of Sound and Zazamix. Looks highly progressive and should be able to score in this company, especially at prohibitive odds. 2:35 - Araldur Been very impressive this season, even if it has been a surprise, in beating Free World and Chapoturgeon. Will have to improve again against decent company but he loks more than capable. 4:20 - Good Company No reason for choosing this other than the AP factor. If he wins aboard Eric's Charm earlier in day, then he will have a great chance of reaching the 3,000 here. Scored nicely LTO fdrom I hear a Symphony, who re-opposes again today. Vinnix De Bessay could be a danger if recovering from a long time off the track. MY BETS 3 X 5pt Singles 3 x 3pt Doubles 1 x 6pt Treble 30 Pts Staked.

    3000 FOR Mr Ap McCoy

    Re: 3000 FOR Mr Ap McCoy Tomorrow at Sandown. 3:10 - Afrad, Now a Non Runner 3:45 - Eric's Charm RPF 11/2 4:20 - Good Company RPF 4/1 Couple of decent chances but for me others are preferred in those races. FONTWELL SUNDAY Quite signifcant he rides here, as Punchestown hosts a very good meeting with a couple of Grade 2's and The National Trial. 2:10 - Burton Point RPF 11/10F 4:10 - Blue Teal No RPF yet, but has to be respected in this company. For me, he can win both these races, particularly the first aboard Nicky Henderson's unbeaten horse (2/2)

    7 Bets per Day

    Evening All. Thought it was about time I tried something on here, and see if I can make a profit with my venture. Aim is to choose 3 horses per day preferabely from the same meeting, but will go across the cards to best suit the bets. Bets will be 3 singles, 3 doubles and 1 treble. 2 of the horses will be odds on (or as close to odds on as possible), and 1 horse will be hopefully 4/1 and above. Staking Plan will be Varied but will be minimum 7 pts (3 x 1pt singles, 3 x 1pt doubles and 1 x 1pt treble), up to 40 pts ( 3 x 7pt singles, 3 x 5pt doubles and 1 x 4pt treble). Stakes will be varied in between. Starting Bank will be 200 pts, and first bets will be posted tomorrow.

    The Truth About Grand National Top Weights

    Re: The Truth About Grand National Top Weights

    That is exactly the opposite of what I am saying RB, I think the stats suggest it is merely coincidence that a top weight has not won since Red Rum. Denman is (at the moment) unexposed at staying distances. With more improvement a distinct possibility. Will have a better handicap mark than around park courses too. Stays well, acts on good and soft ground, jumps well, big horse. What is not to like? Only negative being the possiblility of each pound being worth more distance at extreme distances. If he takes part before getting exposed has a great chance. Ginge
    I was referring more to this statement Ginge
    I've recently backed top weights EW in the race (Suny Bay and Royal Auclair). Not only can top weights run well, they usually run well. However, they cannot win. There is always something better treated.
    I personally feel that there are only two horses currently in training who could possibly lump around top weight in the National and succeed. Denman is one, Halcon Genelardais.

    Re: 3000 FOR Mr Ap McCoy

    Fallon is different school on the flat' date=' and McCoy over jumps, always the way I have seen it.[/quote'] No matter how many winners he had etc.... Fallon is a jockey, I very rarely backed for one reason or another. First and foremost, his horses were generally at unbackable prices, a bit like Spencer atm on the all weather, or it could have been just the fact that I didnt like him? Each to their own and all that....

    Wolverhampton Placepot!!!

    Re: Wolverhampton Placepot!!! Night alone for me, so I have decided to have a play at Wolverhampton, with Placepot, Quadpot and single bets to be determined close to the races starting. My Placepot (and obviously Legs through 6 are Quadpot) selections are..... Single Lines for me. Basis for selection is form of last 2 runs, whichever has best and 2 finishes, regardless of class of race, distance or track etc..... LEG 1 - Firewalker 54 LEG 2 - Drifting Gold 31 LEG 3 - Ahlawy 11 LEG 4 - Red Somerset 21 LEG 5 - Common Diva 31 LEG 6 - Bridgewater Boys 23 I recognise that Legs 2 through 5 are all favourites, so I have re-invested my voided pts from ScotsIrish earlier today and have also gone 5 pts for Quad Pot. 5 pts Placepot 5 pts Quadpot Just for fun, I have also let my 5 year old daughter randomly pick 6 horses and have also placed them for 1 pt. No reasoning other than above.... LEG 1 - Lady Hopeful LEG 2 - Garlogs LEG 3 - Heathyards Pride LEG 4 - Red Somerset LEG 5 - Jonnie Skull LEG 6 - Baan 1 Pt Placepot, 1 Pt Quadpot.

    Thurles 29/01

    3:05 - ScotsIrish WIN Tough race to call, with on paper very little between most of the principals. Scotsirish, goes from the in form Willie Mullins yard, and sets the benchmark for this race after a 16L disposal of Cailin Alainn 6 weeks ago at Cork. The 5th that day, Schindlers Hunt has since gone on to win a Grade A race against some very good opposition. One Cool Cookie holds Knight Legend on their run LTO, and their should be no reason for Knight Legend to reverse that form, Glenfinn Captain brings some decent runs and some solid form to the table but has never run at Thurles, which is a worry. He also beat One Cool Cookie in Nov by 7 1/2 L but gets a 5lb pull today, so may be able to get closer. Cailin Alainn has done nothing of note, since beating Alexander Taipan in her only start here last March.Showed some signs of a return to form, when a distant 2nd to Scotsirish LTO. A big run expected, but an unreliable sort to have as a selection. Kilcrea Castle is interesting at a bigger price. Ran a cracker LTO, and is bound to take heart from that run, and rates as an obvious danger for a place. Don't think he is good enough to win, but can certainly place. The rest have something to find, and in theory shouldnt be good enough to even go close. Brings us back to Scotsirish, who has the most solid form in the field. 3rd and 2nd in his only 2 starts at this course. Has won 2 of his last 5 races, against some decent company, and can justify favouritism and also confirm his standing as a Cheltenham contender, by scoring here. My Bets ScotsIrish - 5 Points Win. Kilcrea Castle - 2.5 Points E/W

    Australian Open 2009 - bets, predictions, reasoning

    Re: Australian Open 2009 - bets, predictions, reasoning

    some thoughts about the other semi... verdasco v nadal this is a spaniard clash, for me there are two important factors to take into consideration, first of all, none of these players impressed so far, despite winning all their matches-couldnt be here otherwise- :eyes factor no 1. both are lefties, meaning they have an advantage against players; today tsonga was so confused in some cases, he was terrible shocked by the verdascos forehands, while in his consciousness a backhand was arriving... tsonga was total fake anyway in compare to last season... my argument is...verdasco in no way will have any advantage here... factor no 2. nadal doesnt scare of this opponent, he considers verdasco as a small cake, and he is correct in my opinion, nadal knows very well that his one and only one opponent is federer in final nadal will stand like a giant, and say to verdasco, "hey kid, just calm down' my pick is : NADAL to beat Verdasco @1.18 betfair sorry for people who doesnt like small odds, simply cant see any other outcome here....sorry but to back verdasco is a suicide action:lol good luck boys :dude
    Eh? Neither have impressed so far?? I disagree, I think both players have been excellent to be honest, and if I was to bet on the game then I would go Nadal in 4 sets.

    Watching Brief for me' date=' but fascinated to see how Ike Quebec does in the 7:20 as the price has been falling all day. 25/1 this morning and now 5/1.[/quote'] drifted to 9's and back into 8's, but finished 3rd. Some decent bets landed today if e/w was taken.

    Physical Weight Carried

    Re: Physical Weight Carried

    I think this an important factor and overlooked by many. Its always worth scanning down the last 10 races or whatever and see if a horse tends to run better carrying a big weight against inferior rivals or runs well in big handicaps off 10st. Also some horses need small fields to show their best whilst others need covering up in big fields off a fast pace. Just a couple of the many ingredients that need checking before parting with any hard earned cash.
    Thats a good comment to make, and I feel that Halcon Genelardais could very well be one of them horses. Has run a few stormers, and staying on at the end of the races whilst carrying top weight and conceding a stone plus all around. Compare that to LTO when he was getting weight from other horses. Choc was niggling away for pretty much 2 miles on him, and when asking to kick at the end, didnt find much at all.

    Re: Limerick 28/01

    :clap:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap Brilliant tipping mate. What a race that Taipans Way run, looked out of it coming into the home straight and then when David Casey asked it ............. whooooooooooooosh Very impressive :ok
    Cheers mate, January has been a very "lean" month so, good to end it with something half decent. Taipans Way could go onto bigger and better things in Chasing, but probably in Handicap Company rather than Grade company. I wasnt that worried as although he was a good 6/7 lengths down coming into the home straight he was absolutely cruising, nothing was travelling or jumping better and in the majority of the races today, someone came odd the pace to grab the race.
