Racing Chat - Wednesday 20th October

[calva decoy]

Last night's Newmarket card the going was good to firm , after 14mm of overnight rain & with more forecast it's now soft I can imagine lots of non runners on the 2 year old card ( all bar 1 race ) & they'll be a plethora of non runners , unfortunately !

It sometimes works in our favour. 4 places are offered in the 3.50 which is good value now there are 8 runners instead of 10.

RESULTS UPDATE

3 winners today but unfortunately not in the same Trixie.  One double in my main Trixie and Bigbadmattie won in the second Trixie.  The double returned £9.00 and my 50p win bet on Bigbadmattie returned £4.00 This yielded a a net profit of £3.50.  My new balance is now £808.44 (Bank £1056.22).  One good thing about all this was that I chose Bigbadmatttie at 7/1 for my Nap bet instead of Taste The Fear that I also backed for a £2 win at 4.8.  At least by choosing the longest price of my two fancies for the nap it paid off this time ?

5 meetings tomorrow; 5 class 3 races all over and one class 2 at Wolverhampton.  I do get confused about whether there is quality racing in Ireland as they don't have our grading system.  The 2.55 & 4.05 at Thurles look to be the best races with both 16 runners in each.  Looking at the race conditions they appear to be equivalent to our class 4 races; but screening out the 0 - 79 horses.
