Luckime 15.40 Catterick 6 Pts Win @ 4\7 (bog)

Non Runner

Maestro Royal 15.10 Lingfield 6 Pts Win @ 1\5 (bog)

Useful hurdler who completed a simple task when beating sole rival on chase debut at Huntingdon (19.8f) in January, without breaking sweat. Major player once more under a penalty.

Spiritofchartwell 14.40 Fontwell 6 Pts Win @ 9\4 (bog)

Had looked to have turned over a new leaf, winning twice here in 2017, but put in another moody shift when last seen. Work to do.

1st @ 11\2 Last and not travelling early, mistake 1st, pushed along after 6th, left 3rd next, disputing close 2nd next, disputing lead from 3 out, slightly hampered last, driven and stayed on to lead final yards100

Well that surprise win today confirms a profit for this thread. With nine more days till the end of Cheltenham the most we can lose is 45, that is with no winner in the next nine days and it will give us a P on I of 5.19% at worse.   :cigar

Louse Talk 16.30 Carlisle 3 Pts WIn @ 2\13 (bog)

Irish point winner in May who made a successful hurdling debut in 7-runner novice at Warwick (21f) last month, making all and asserting run-in. Claims crystal clear.

1st @ 2\13 - Made all, mistake 7th, driven and pressed from 2 out, mistake last, holding rival flat but ridden right out

Above result guarantees a P on I of 7.33%

Bollin Ace 14.10 Leicester 3 Pts Win @ 1\5 (bog)

Fairly useful and progressive hurdler who was all the better for chase debut when runner-up in a Newcastle novice chase (2m) 2 weeks ago. Hard to oppose on that evidence.

1st @ 2\5 - With leader, led 5th, ridden clear last, stayed on, comfortably

Uppertown Prince 14.10 Ayr 3 Pts Win @ 1\6 (bog)

Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. 12/1, 15 lengths second of 8 to Chef Des Obeaux in Prestige Novices' Hurdle at Haydock (22.8f, heavy) 21 days ago, staying on well. Chance is there for all to see.

Dell Oro 14.20 Plumpton 2 Pts Win @ 5\4 (bog)

Won 2m Ascot novice hurdle in November and good second at Newbury next time. Seemed to be stretched over this trip at Huntingdon but the class act on form back down in class.

Buveur D'Air 15.30 Cheltenham 3 Pts Win @ 8\15 (bog)

Impressive in this last year and has taken record over jumps to 11 wins from 12 starts when barely coming off bridle to land Fighting Fifth, Christmas Hurdle and Sandown listed event this term.

Should have been 2 Pts Win ....

1st @ 4\6 - Tracked leaders, challenged after 3 out, soon leant on rival, led before 2 out, hard pressed by runner-up after, driven flat, edged right towards finish, found extra close home

Alberto's Dream 16.25 Huntingdon 1 Pt Win @ 1\3 (bog)

Well backed when making a winning debut for this yard at Lingfield (23.5f) this month. Followed up with the minimum of fuss at Leicester 4 days ago and difficult to oppose under another penalty.

Hopefully can finish with a win .... all the weight is on 

Weebill 15.20 Fakenham 5 Pts Win @ 2\7 (bog)

Fair form only outing in bumpers and has made a fairly encouraging start over hurdles, running best race when 5 lengths second at Warwick (19f) in February. Comfortably sets the standard.

Well with the end of Cheltenham brings the end of this topic for another 8 months. Finished with a four timer and a nice profit for the year.

SPFFinal.JPG.d37f2f402952f13e840cfeee177de365.JPG

A few facts on 17\18:

65 Winners led to the second highest strike rate of 71.43%  (0.53% lower than the highest)

This years profit is the 2nd highest and also the 2nd highest P on I.

The 4 losers between 18th Dec and 21st Dec was the highest number of consecutive losers. (Last year we had 5 consecutive losers between 18th Dec and 22nd Dec) Will keep an eye next year. 

The most consecutive winners over the time was 12 (3rd highest) brought to an end by Agrapart (Lizzie Kelly) on 17th February..

47 different jockeys, three with the most rides Barry Geraghty 10, 8 winners 80%, Richard Johnson 8, 5 winners 63% and Brian Hughes 7, 5 winners 71%.

Of the jockeys who had 2 or more rides D.Russell (2 rides), DJ Mullins (2 rides) and Wayne Hutchinson (2 rides) all had a 100% record.

Roll on next November :hope  :ok
