richard-westwood replied to Systemight's topic in At The Races - Racing Forum
On the run down to Xmas ...yay π 430 wolv Beneficiary. 261 total 561 4/1 Khyber crystal. 255 total 546 14.0 Midnightattheoasis. 251 total 545 20/1 This race just caught my eye .....none of them are particularly well drawn which is a worry but beneficiary has a really good rating .....Khyber crystal had been out of form until lto when a fast finishing 3rd suggesting a good run could be coming .....midnight has a lot to do over 5f despite the great price .....I'll try 6pt beneficiary ...4 PT Khyber ....to fill the Xmas expense pot π -
Don't think I've ever seen one ....maybe on American cards to denote stall ....like #1

richard-westwood replied to Fader's topic in Punters Lounge Oscars
Wow ....I'm flattered and humbled.....I bet most weeks for fun so sharing ratings and discussing races is easy and most enjoyable ,....being on the forum gives me the opportunity to test myself and sets me the challenge of growing and improving and I've definitely grown and the ratings have got stronger since I first joined in 2017 ????.... lol .....there are many worthy punters on here and I really enjoy reading everyone's opinions and there are some very skillful people on here which makes getting this award allπππ the more flattering so thankyou ππ I'll try and post a pic in my forum jumper at the next family get together or outing over Xmas haha π -

335 chelt Take no chances. 540 total 1101 Endless escape. 527 total 1094 Royal Margaux. 517 total 1088 Joyeuse. 515 total 1080 Joyeuse is 5/2...but looks very poor value to me .....top two are priced 7/1 and 12/1 so I'll play them..5pt ewboth....and doubles top 2 both races -
Been up to my eyeballs in Xmas party organising and huge deliveries etc so haven't had much chance to rate but I've finally got a chance π..... December gold cup Ga law. 667 total 1307 13/2 Stage star. 649 total 1289 7/1 Fugitif. 642 total 1279 Hard to separate these three as each has it's merits but ga law has run well in these types of races so should run well and stage star represents nicholls who's doing well in these big races so dangerous .......wouldn't put anyone off fugitif though ....very competitive race 5 PT Ew ga and stage

No aintree ...shame I really thought I had a good chance today .......I'm not keen on betting in this weather ....I wouldn't wanna run my best race in this or run at all tbh π.....so I'm happy to keep my money π° -
Becher chase Arizona cardinal. 1067. 12/1 King turgeon. 1062 4/1 Chianti classico. 1044 5/1 These 3 are clear of rest ......value bet is Arizona cardinal .....the last race was too bad to be true ..something definitely must have been amiss as previously looked a horse on the serious upgrade . .....chianti is no pushover but has to shoulder top weight over the national fences ...never a good thing .....top 2 for me ....8pt win king ...5 PT Ew Arizona I'll try and rate another race in the morning .....pushed for time π

Rehearsal chase Marble sands 1080 6/1 Kinondo kwetu. 1075 25/1 Jetplane. 1068 Black magic. 1067 There is a link between this and the above race .....marble sands destroyed colonel harry so if that one runs a good race it would Frank his chances .....question over distance like above race . Kinondo kwetu looks the value bet ....5 PT Ew top 2 -
Coral gold cup Sam brown (if runs) ..1115 25/1 Victorrino. 1110 13/2 Kandoo kid. 1100 Colonel harry. 1100 I asked my friends to look at this race and everyone came up with a diff horse lol π.....so the computer has had a go ......Sam brown is the value bet if runs here( ran bravemansgame to a length and if that one was entered for this he would be like 5/2 fav) but is entered for another race too ......victorrino looks an ideal type and Venetia is holding a 33% s r recently .....colonel harry is dangerous if he gets the distance ...questionable ......I'm Def backing victorrino 5pt Ew ....I'll wait on Sam brown to see if runs .....if not I might take a chance on colonel .....good luck if you play in this hard race π

110 chelt Risky one this .....I wasn't going to bother because there's lots of unbeaten horses in here and any one of them could bounce forward and win ......computer has these 3 top ... Whatuowithyou 10.0 Fosterisland 50/1 Stayifuwanto 23.0 I don't have much confidence as the jockeys are novices and crap but good prices so I'll try 3pt wins all 3 and hope fosters springs a surprise π«’

Ga law. 979 9/1 Ginny's destiny. 973 3/1 Stage star. 962 Protektoret. 961 Il ridoto 955 As you'd expect ...a ridiculously hard race to rate .....not that much between the top 5 overall ...each horse has it's merits .....bookies really favour Ginny's destiny and I can see why but I think overall there's better value in ga law who will come with a fitness advantage and is 3x the price so warrants the value bet badge ..... .....this looks a strong renewal so I don't think I'll ridoto is good enough and protektoret has a huge weight to carry .....likewise stage star who won this last year but will have to shoulder more weight this time against unexposed types .... For me it's 8pt win ginny .....4 PT ga law .......that feels a strong hand to play in a classy race Edit ...nicholks is talking about Ginny's running in the king George !!.......so he'd have to annilate these if that's the case ....π€
