jtw1 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Just got in and saw todays results inc INVISIBLE MAN for Godolphin @ 28/1 . I remembered sometime last season there was a Ballydoyle v Godolphin thread started by Billy The Punter , heres his opening post - billy the punter TH£ PROPH£T Join Date: 09 Mar 2008 Location: London Posts: 7,145 Awards Showcase Total Awards: 2 Godolphin vs Ballydoyle Who would you want fighting your corner in races this season? What if we were talking handicap races only? Would you change your mind? Over the past few years I've followed plenty of Godolphin's runners in handicaps and enjoyed success. From memory they seem to be concentrating on handicaps more and more as the years go on and despite their failures in other areas, their success in handicaps seems to be growing... pre2004 - 12% (4-34) 2004 - 15% (6-41) 2005 - 10% (10-96) 2006 - 20% (16-82) 2007 - 24% (14-59) 2008 - 27% (12-44) 2009 - 31% (5-16) 13 of the 16 runners took home prize-money A steady improvement and some impressive stats over the past four seasons. When looking at Ballydoyle we find that handicaps are the one area where the otherwise all conquering yard are failing. UK handicaps 1996-present - 8% (2-25) Irish handicaps last three years - 6% (3-49) Ballydoyle will not be losing a wink of sleep over this, and to be fair it's the thinest of silver lining on a whole host of black clouds for Godolphin. However for predominently handicap punters it is surprising, and perhaps useful, information. Clearly it's folly to ignore the boys in blue in all areas. __________________ www.theprophetpunter.blogspot.com Hope you were on it today Bill :hope and lets keep an eye out for these runners in the coming months .

StuSimmy Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Re: BTP + Godolphin + Handicaps = genius Nice thread, will be keeping my eyes on those 2 and try to make a case for them if nothing else stands out. May just have some small stakes each way on the side if I fancy something else though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fintron Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Re: BTP + Godolphin + Handicaps = genius 4.25 on Thursday - BLACK SNOWFLAKE is around 33/1 4.25 Friday - ANTINORI Was on Antinori last time, think he is still well handicapped, but despite travelling nicely at Epsom last time out he just couldn't eat up the ground as hoped. it looks a red hot race on Sat so lets see what odds they put up. He needs a decent pace to aim at though, sometime that can also be said for Rainbow Peak, and that one finished like a train last time out, so dunno whether Antinori will be getting my money again on Sat.......
