Best Bet Of The Day - Sun 1/3/09

Hunt 2.40 El Dancer 1 pt win This one disappointed on his british bow when fancied but put that right to some extent lto with a good second at san. He was behind a horse I have followed a bit this season, Ronaldo des Mottes who has solid form and he pushed him for a while and lets not forget that was given him weight due to the weight for age. The pair pulled clear of a 128 rated rival and it was a good run from both of them and one that suggested that El Dancer clearly has ability and races in him. Today could just be a good chance to get a first hurdle win especially as I have doubts about the resolution of the likely second and third favs.

Re: Best Bet Of The Day - Sun 1/3/09 2:30 MUSSELBURGH Caravel 4-5 RPF WIN Won LTO. Course and Distance winner (LTO). No other trainer or jockey in this race have more experience here than J Howard Johnson and Denis O'regan. Johnson is 37 from 153 the past 5 seasons. O'regan is 17 from 23 the past 5 seasons. Owner Andrea & Graham Wylie usually do well here. 7 wins from 16 hurdlers this season. Caravel is forecasted odds-on by the Racing Post while Wylies other three are priced 8 to 18.
