Alexmac's Flat Season Thread 2011 (+30pts)

[alexmac]

So, after a semi successful jumps season, I am switching my attention to the flat. As before, I have compiled a list of horses to follow, from reading up some of the preview articles, guides and books to the new season. I have also included a number of my own selections, from horses I have followed in previous seasons, and also, some horses I simply fancy to do well this season. The aim is to back each horse to level stakes. I have had the dilemma of horses running against each other before, and have never worked out a successful formula as to how best get around this situation. I do not foresee this happening too many times this season, but when it does I will have to think very carefully about staking plans. As before, any horses with a guide price of 5/1 or greater will be backed each way. Paddy Power will be used to take advantage of 'BOG' as well as their regular money back specials. The starting bank is 200pts, and the aim of the thread is to show a profit, no matter how small, by the end of the flat racing season. I am also planning on using the thread as a bit of a diary to the flat season this year. I know other PL'ers have done this in the past, and I have enjoyed following their thoughts. So, if you do read something i my thread and agree/disagree then please post up...! It would be good to get some good debate going, as well as finding lots of winners. All the best to everyone, and hopefully we will all be celebrating a profitable season :) Alex
