Sedgefield 03:30 ASK PADDY
f/c. 7/4
Stake =  10 pts. WIN

21 players knocked out on Saturday
11 with jokers survived with a Draw! (Brighton/Arsenal)

Hey, @Xtc12, have you found this? The ones at Soccerstats do not seem user-friendly, and Footystats is paid service. I had stats for streak since last draw, but streak since last goalless draw seems interesting, so I decided to add it to my stats (for 12 leagues I follow).
For example:
Here are streaks for England Premier; these stats are in column "N0D", "Not drawn 0-0 ".
Here is the specific match, Liverpool vs Man United in this case, streaks are at very bottom.
And here are general 0-0 stats for entire league - Under 0.5 goals is effectivelly 0-0 draw.

I bought into Asdaa nice to see him win yesterday evening after a couple of descent runs.. 

Cheers, Xtc, you were unlucky with Cat Royale!

Think he would have won anyhow but the bit of drama was good. Well done, great start   

Bit dramatic but a win is a win ...67pts pts profit I'll keep 2 running totals ....total profit and a running total including stakes and profit cos if I can bet 20 or 30pts each week and use same money plus profit to pay for an exotic hol I'd still call that a win win 
Total profit 67pts ......total including returned stakes  78pts .....start again next week 
Horses finished 1st and 4th ...not bad 

Good luck today Billy. 
I'm tempted to get a share in Gilka looks a real nice prospect.. 

Good luck today BH!

I am sure we are all looking forward to the year ahead, and with a lovely range of horses to go to war with and work underway to increase the string and selection of trainers, it promises to be an exciting 12 months for sure.

We have 2 of the best bred 2yr olds we have ever had being readied in Lambourn, older horses Born To Finish and The Detainee getting close to being back on the track and Honourmission continuing his progression over hurdle, giving us a nice variety in runners and potentially Arishka going to become our first broodmare and a new hurdler to come in Scotland with Sandy Thomson.

News on Honourmission in the video below, and in the text below the image, and updates on the remainder of the string can also be heard in the video below.         Honourmission will be running in the 1215 at Sedgefield tomorrow, for Sam and Jonathan England over the same course and distance as he won over on Boxing Day. Early betting shows have him around 2/1 joint-favourite and the yard have had an excellent winner today at Catterick, so clearly are in form.

If anyone would like to go along and cheer him on, drop me an email by clicking here and we will do what we can to help.
 
this is my interest.i have put a couple up before, and honourmission up last time out, hopefully more details in the morning
 
 

Ok, had an email regarding the race on Friday
Not allowed to copy it, against company rules and could face disqualification from the syndicate.
Basically Donald McCain says its the best ground he could find at present, he won his bumper in Ireland on Good to Firm.
He's ready to run and is fit and well. Has to give 7lb away but Brian Hughes rides so they expect a decent run in this class.
OG team reckon they have the Nicky Richards horse to beat but thats stating the obvious.

Its all your fault @BillyHills  see what you've started
Had a little tickle on HADDAF today and I said to my lad if this wins I'll get us shares in a GG seeing we missed out on Overpriced Mixer , we couldn't agree which one so got a bit carried away , got a bit of loose change left for a bottle of champers if one ever wins

Stake =  10 pts. WIN

Had a few discussions with people and seems there's a taste for a bit of fun this year and a thirst for decent big wins ...... trying to get a bit of excitement involved in  the weekly racing mainly the big weekend races and regular big festivals .....so I'll start this topic devoted solely to bets on 2 of the best weekend races ....prices allowing of course ....if I can only find 1 race with decent odds to risk ratio then it will be one or even none if all crap ......main aim is to just have a bit of fun with the weekend big races using my ratings whilst having a shot at a big win each week and who knows what could happen ....might bust out ....or with a touch of luck if I can build up a decent win here or there there might be an excess at some point enough to book a nice holiday ......small excess it might just be a weekend in bath lol... or a good couple of weeks and suddenly 600 or 900 up and you could be looking at a week or two somewhere more exotic .... I love my racing anyway and I like to get involved anyway so can't really lose but it will certainly be fun to try and if the first race wins each week it will generate some exciting 2nd races especially if the prices are big and you are looking at booking up that week ...eek...I.e 3pts on 12/1 is 39 pts ....carrying onto 16/1 2nd leg ..wins around 663 for the doubles and aboutv140 for the singles roughly so that's 800pts ....airport here I come !!
I've come up with a few rules and strategy .....I'll stick mainly to big hcaps and probably rate as many as I can ....hopefully 4+ and pick the strongest 2 races I can where the top 2 are furthest ahead of the 3rd rated .....that should be a good starting point ...
Also one of the top 2 must be in the first 5 betting ....as this seems to boost the horses chance twofold sometimes ....it doesn't matter about the 2nd horse as that is effectively the race wildcard and backable at any price especially as win bets I'll be paying attention to betfair prices on the outsiders because I've lost count how many times I've backed at 16/1 with bet365 only to see 25.0 later on betfair which will make a huge difference long term .....
Also I will only be backing Friday evening so as to avoid any non runners .....might mean slightly smaller odds but guaranteed best chance of a run and no loss due to any antepost rules so that will avoid silly losses ...
Overall .....it's not hard ....only what id be doing anyway so I may as well have a shot and have some fun with it 
Start Friday 

Well as promised Donald McCain has entered Last Golden Ticket in a race, and rather surprisingly in a bumper.
Its not certain as the yard has 5 entered but its an indication on what he is thinking at least.
Wrong side of the country for me but just glad he's on the radar, the trainer said he wants decent ground and its God to Soft at present.
Friday 3.35 at Sedgefield.
 

 
 

A Christmas present sees me onboard with the Racing Emporium (the Easterbys) who are only based 25 miles away so should make a stable visit nice and easy. Shares in Cottam (named for Easterby racing HQ) a two year old gelding they are planning to take into bumpers ahead of a career over the jumps. All a bit of interesting fun really but looking forward to the updates etc.

Thats great mate, welcome to the club!
Might be a long term project that Groovy Kind but looks sure to be of interest this time next year. If you renew your share it will be a bit cheaper too as the cost of the horse has been accounted for. Will be well worth it and be interesting to follow his journey, unfortunately patience is the name of the game in this business.
The facebook page is worth following but just be careful of all the moaners who want Gold Cup winners that run every week!!
 
_______________________________
Donald McCain has said Last Golden Ticket will run in January, very excited now!!
 

Seems I now have to join this thread after reading with interest. Totally unexpected but The wife has given me a share in Groovy Kind with Paul Nicholls for Xmas. Either she has been reading my IPad and checking up on me or she is a bit of a mind reader. She claims it just popped up on facebook! Still I look forward to following with interest. Been trying to follow the horses for a while without great success unless I follow a few of you guys on here. No real knowledge to start with. I don’t know how you put the hours in to work out your own ratings.
