Alley Cat Glover Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 24 minutes ago, Striker said: No I got paid at 14’s as Sky and 365 do not pay BOG on extra place races I got 16’s drifted through the day, have started taking the SP rather than the price on some of the longer price E/W selections as I want the extra places but they tend to over shorten the price. Can not cash out though as they don’t then offer one. But then not often you want to cash a horse race bet. Bit different to football that lasts 90 minutes, and you can get some decisions that can alter the likely result you were expecting.

Striker Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 I played at 20-1 again when the Trainer spoke positive words about the horse on telly before the race. Good point though about the extra place prices overnight and early morning especially on a market which like the Meydan one would not have much volume to it.

MCLARKE Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Sky used to offer good value including BOG on the extra place races. I have stopped using them as the extra places don't compensate for the shorter prices that they offer. Striker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 With the flat turf season not too far away, I have been spring cleaning my tracker and only keeping horses that excite me when thinking about their their future...like Derab Abdullah colt trained by Gosden who ran a nice debut in a hot Ascot maiden last autumn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Dark horse addition.. Navegaon Gate This Ed Walker colt was 4th on debut in a ordinary back end maiden, but thought he got a lovely introduction to the sport by Tom Marquand who is so good on first time juveniles and this horse will repay that kindness yossa6133 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 As usual I like to put up a dark one trained by the Irish legend Dermot Weld Mitigated Risk Yet to run or have any entries but this 3 year old son of Galileo is expected to be a half decent stayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 French addition Le Nomade I think his Trainer Francis-Henri Graffard is hugely talented and this colt ran a lovely debut at Chantilly a couple of weeks ago, falling out of the stalls before running on to finish a close up 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 2nd! Only beaten a neck, but again the race was lost with a sluggish break from the stalls and then in first half of the race never really in a good position and also running green. Did come to challenge the more experienced winner stylishly ,but run petered out close home when for me the energy levels used after the slow start emptied But first two came clear, and I would be surprised if the Godolphin horse confirmed this form if they met again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been more confident if a different jockey. What’s the system in France is it 3 runs for a handicap mark as over here, if so with another bad run could be interesting on the 4th run? Looked the possible winner in last race and finished 9th. I’ ve had a couple of quid E/W at 12’s let’s hope the jockey has had some advice!

Wanderlust Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 My main bookie does not offer prices on French racing. My secondary bookie (RaceBets) offer only 2/1 Silastar!!!!! My 3rd bookie only offers Tote prices for horses other than U.S racing. So its looking like a Tote bet for me!! Striker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Well the money came...and again disappointed No blame on the jockey today, got the horse in a good position early though did not see much daylight in last half furlong Shaped like a step up in trip would be of benefit, and then we might see what his backers think the horse is capable of!

Seems a tight track with not a lot of space. Striker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Weak in the market [3-1] and never got involved after being impeded at the start Boudot had his arms high throughout the race so not much effort today!

Striker Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 David Menuisier has not had a winner this year with his horses looking in need of the run, though worth remembering its the turf when his stock rises at tracks like Sandown/Goodwood/July Course Having said that he was unlucky not to have a winner on Monday, when his colt got hampered at the stalls and at first bend before getting no room in the straight...yet finished well to get 3rd Should pay to follow over further and is totally unexposed when going on the grass Flyin'Solo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
