Xtc12 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 3rd & 1st @ 3\1 Silky Wilkie 14.20 Nottingham 1 Pt Win @ Evens (bog) Bagged his third win this year with a career best in 13-runner apprentice handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Escapes a penalty here so he rates a big player. Popong 16.50 Tramore 1 Pt Win @ 6\5 (bog) Useful chaser. Twelve runs since last win in 2020 but he arrives on the back of good runner-up efforts in handicaps this summer (Bacardys well behind her in Munster Natrional latest). Perhaps this can be her day again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could well be more to come so he's high on the shortlist. Juncture 15.40 Curragh 1 Pt Win @ 6\5 (bog) Useful filly.

Xtc12 Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Update Year 6 Bad reading for Year 6. Still think I can turn GB around but this will probably be the last year for the Irish selections. For the Irish selections the first year showed a profit of 14.1 %, but since then every year has been at a loss, the worse was Year 2 with a loss of 22.75 Pts / -8.4 %. This years stats for Ireland above shows that year 6 will be worse again. I actually have just come off my worse run of 14 consecutive losses. Overall As can be seen the overall strike rate for GB is 38.6% but the Year 6 strike rate is down to 34.29%, 4.3% below the average. Doubles Just in case anybody follows the doubles. Yes due to the consistently bad run of the Irish selections Year 6 is a disaster. MCLARKE and alexcaruso808 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
