richard-westwood got a reaction from BillyHills in Saturday Racing 26th Mar (Dubai World Cup)
Dubai world cup
California chrome 99.56 (11)
Special fighter 99.52(5)
Frosted 99.51(9)
Mshawish 99.49(2)
All the vibe is around California chrome who is favourite around 9/4 but closer inspection suggests you want to drawn low in the world cup with at least one low draw horse making the frame or winning for the past 3 years at big prices too .....that said there seems to be a huge amount of ew value in special fighter and mshawish both 14/1 and drawn 2 and 5 ...Special fighter has looked a horse going places this season and given his profile it would be no shock to see him win this in fact he has the beating of many of these runners ....mshawish has the services of Frankie Detroit who loves the big stage so you know he will fighting to win this .....statistically one of the pair has an outstanding chance of at least making the frame and who knows .....
Special fighter 5 pts ew 14/1 wh
Mshawish 5 pts ew 14/1 wh

Only thing id say is going stick is reported as 5.5 good ....am i a plank or is that not soft ???...id be careful with going report t
tbh ...only like impulsive american in the last race ...ran a cracker on soft ground last time so of its soft he might be a good bet

richard-westwood got a reaction from Blazing Bailey in Cheltenham Lessons
Yeah..same for me ..i always try and work out the best percentage of a return to stake ....so if ive narrowed a 24 horse race to 6 horses id want to back 3 unless the prices were all big then it might even be feasible backing six 1 pt wins if they were all 20/1+......i dont care what people think ...as some frown and only back one horse but if you get the winner and the coffers fill then thats the name of the game however you did it !!

richard-westwood got a reaction from arsenalfh in Racing Chat Thread
Well he recently finished 2nd over 28f so trip isnt an issue and comp has obviuosly rated that form as very strong in relation to this race ...average winner is 8 yr old though ...hes only 5 ....it would be like a 7 yr old winning the grand national ....but computer has him about 4-5 lengths clear at mo ...hes got to get in first so ill watch and see ...cant see his price falling much cos his form isnt that obvious

Trip must be an issue. Surely 5 year olds don't want 3m 5f?

richard-westwood got a reaction from Blazing Bailey in Cheltenham Lessons
Yeah ..have to admit i love getting a big price but ive been burned a few times in recent weeks and had enough now ....ill wait til night before or nrnb ....and yes mullins horses have become unbackable now ....he and other trainers had numerous horses entered for 3-4 races ....what can you do with that ??....makes life very difficult from a punting perspective unless as was stated above you use it to your advantage and try and speculate where he wont run and youll prob get a better price on another horse....but chelt fest will always be a minefield ...its fab to watch but no matter how much reparation you have or form lines you read ...everyone is there to win so your left scratching your head half the time ....just a funny ol game

Firebird flyer. 99.34
red devil lads 99.28
cogry. 99.25
cogry looks a decent ew bet here but im not sure hes good enough to win a race of this calibre so value pushes me to look elsewhere ...firebird flyer oozes class so no worries there ...might be a touch high in weights but his class will be a big weapon here ...red devil lads has a nice weight and some good form if he can get round ...thats a big if ...but is more than capable of winning thisif getting around which he does sometimes ..lol
Firebird flyer 5 ptsew 14/1 bet365
red devil lads 5 pts ew 25/1 bet365
if non runner cogry ew 14/1

richard-westwood got a reaction from arsenalfh in Trull House Stud Mares Novice Hurdle - Thursday 17th
Liminis connections are of the opinion he won't be beaten ....but I think tea in transvaal might be nonpushover ....ran a cracker against devilment here in fast time then supposedly improved last time ...only negative is longnlayiff but he has run well aftervlay off in past ...at 22/1 he just looks value bet
Tea in transvaal 5 pts ew 22/1 bet365

richard-westwood got a reaction from salmonman in Coral Cup Handicap Hurdle - Wednesday 16th
Diamond king 98.88
blood cotil. 98.82
politilogue. 98.80
devilment 98.77
concentrating on top two at mo but cant back blood cotil as hes more likely to go for a chase but if coming here would be very interesting at a big price that leaves gordon elliots diamond king clear rated at mo ...i know he thinks a lot of this horse and some big runs expected from his horses this year so the 10/1 is very appealing
diamond king. 5 pts ew 10/1 willh

richard-westwood got a reaction from DanV89 in BetVic BOG
This gets me angry !!!.....bookies are doing this more and more ....banning or restricting anyone that remotely is winning ...its getting to the stage you will only be able to put a bet on if you are a consistent loser ...,.how can that be right ??.....surely the government should look at it and if bookies aren't prepared to accept some punters win ...accept that and take it on the chin or get out the game ,!!!.....,I have to constantly cycle my bets at diff bookies and if I can get the price at my local bookies I'll go in and pay cash ....luckily I have a big Mic of wins and losses and they are spread around and I back big prices so they seem to ignore me ....,so far ....but stories like this are coming common place ..,its not fair and just makes you wanna take them to the cleaners ....Fukin leeches
In fact I'm so angry I'm e-mailing the minister .....not that I'll get anywhere but if its constantly raised maybe they'll lookat it one day ...lol

Should just change it to The V,P Festival

Can't back anything realistically at mo because it will cut up badly I think because of chelt but prelim ratings are
for good measure 99.34
Solstice star 99,29
Spice fair 99.23
Spice fair has run well in big hcaps recently off this sort of mark so if race cuts up he might be good enough by default even though he's looking a touch exposed now ....the obvious choice would be for good measure owned by jpnmcmanus who would be perfect for this but I'd imagine McManus might have his eyes on chelt ....likewise for solstice star who has a very similar profile so if either divert to this race it would be a huge hint ...one to watch at moment
