Bit unlucky ...1st 2nd 4th .....so small Ew doubles X2 and 6/1 winner ....probably just made a point or two profit overall but I'll fight another day .....ratings performed well that's all that matters 

It’s resolved, I’m carrying on. 
great ratings by Richard Westwood to bag this race. 👍.

Morning all
I'm on a relentless sweep towards a target of forty winners this month and am already on fourteen since Sunday including ace impact and the latest last night with two winners in America one of whom  bolting up by six plus lengths ( eased down)  the brilliantly monikered
Extrasexybigdaddie  and three one one. 
The  point of all this none. it is just fun on route to a more important target of understanding the physics that acts in the world around us and how remarkably that is expressed in a humble horse race crack that ( and I think I have) then I can move on to tricasting and forecasts.
Todays target is simple four winners  from fewer races.
if Navan is on, the search starts there in the first race.
 
Navan
1355
two horses fit my draw data criteria
stall 10 and 11
Occupied by 
Bruce lightning ( non runner)
SOUTHBANK
win best prices available 
OUR DAGGER
each way 150/1 or better 
 
Joseph O’Brien farms maidens particularly on the all weather and artificial surfaces is where his horses cut their teeth in preparation for track debuts and he may have one ready here.
One massive anomaly ( my favourite word this last month) in Irish racing is the use of barrier trials at Dundalk. They have now spread to turf barrier trials I think here at navan or naas this year. They are not widely publicised. Last year they appeared on the Racecard but no longer. The oddity of a horse in a maiden boasting a course and distance win is peculiar to Ireland and Hong Kong -where barrier trials  are mandatory -. 
immediately Bruce lightning is out, a non runner before even entering the racetrack.
two horses in particular may be impacted by the absence.
our dagger 150/1 was identified as a gelding and not an entire before his debut. He subsequently finished down the field. I’m expecting an improvement here. The other beneficiary may well be southbank never seen a race track but already fitted with headgear and readied to make an impact here.

Flat goes downhill now in Oct ..with many horses going over the top after a hard season so I draw a line and start the all weather season now .....
7.00 wolv 
Destined  8.5 14/1 
Surprise picture 8.0 13/2 
Chalk mountain 7.9 5/1 
Very interesting race to rate... surprise and chalk are well fancied but computer is screaming Ew value on destined at a very tasty 14/1. ...who am I to deny .......let's have a bash at a big prize .....10pt Ew 💪😁...cmon beauty !!
 

Some horses can take more runs ....some all weather horses can run every 2 weeks and hold form quite well but the higher grade flat horses have tougher races so don't hold form past the point of the arc .....I've learnt by past mistake ..profits seem to tumble in Oct Nov because a lot of horses just won't run anywhere near their best .....some will of course ...probably the lighter raced ones as you say but unless a particular race grabs me it's time to start panning for gold in The all weather pit 
I'm looking forward to the all weather season though  this year...more so than normal ... ....I've upgraded the ratings for all weather so it should provide an lot of fun now ......I'm really hoping a few good wins are forthcoming 😂......
Like ...destined ..today ....even if only 1 in 6 go on to win ...if you get 14/1 each time your gonna be laffin in the long run ...it just ramps up the excitement and makes me wanna try harder 😀
