Great Fun but really? Serious Money?

[The Scientist]

Our tipping competition at Goodwood today, promisrs us good cheap fun. I am really excited. I will probably be last.

I obviously had not yet twigged. To win it you need a couple of 'biggies'. Favorites are not going to do it..I can see my rivals have "cottoned on" before I did. When a professional I would head north away from a southern big meeting to earn my money. Beverley was a regular 'big earner' for me. 

Its a big "switcheroo" track if the going gets soft. Sprints low numbers on good and firm days but high on soft and heavy. Also the photo finish equipment is crooked which gives nearest the far rail a short head advantage in a close finish as seen by jockeys and spectators.

Little things make all the difference. My only bet so far is 16.20 Murbih ew 9-1. (Drawn2)

But I will be deserting ship if it pours down and Kindred Fire ew (drawn 11)

But back to the fun at Glorious Goodwood.

 

14.25 There was something peculiar about Holloway Boy's win at Ascot. The race seemed to fall into its lap. The second has flopped since. I much prefer MYSTERIOUS NIGHT. At 4-1ew. its a penalty kick to nothing.

16.10. The brilliant rider Ray Dawson never travels far away from Newmarket unless he is on a bonus.

Why should he? So what is wrong with 16.10 Embour 12-1 (breathing) or 16.45 Corporate Raider 80-1? (Visor).

Who knows why Dawson has been hired to leave his lucrative work riding specialist Newmarket job except his master horsemanship is required at the track on a dodgy sort.
