  • Yes, MT, I follow the Oirish too.   But I'm at Bangor all day tomorrow, then on the lash in Wrexham! But, if I get chance, I'll find some pointers for you and shove them on here on Sunday.   But,

    How can an 11/1 shot in a field of that size be 2/1 to be placed?! Now I know how Betfair makes its money!

  • If you took those stats from Mal's piece, that'll be over the last two years, mate.

Yarmouth 3.20 Clumber Place

Yarmouth 3.20 Clumber Place

 

That was my SotD pick last Tuesday, before Newcastle got abandoned, I was just waiting for her reappearance.

Loves heavy ground, loves the 7f trip, but Freddie Tylicki has a great record at Yarmouth and Caramelita might also go well at a decent price..

Well, I eventually went with Clumber Place for SotD, but since then an acquaintance of mine has suggested that Tahlia Ree may be a good E/W shout at 16/1 in that same 3.20 Yarmouth race.

 

I also like these today:

2.40 Exter: Mister Hendre (50/1 E/W BOG)

3.10 Exeter: Pantxoa (14/1 E/W BOG)

4.30 Lingfield: Dorothy's Dancing (6/1 BOG) (possible E/W)

4.40 Exeter: Harry Topper (4/1 BOG)

5.30 Lingfield: Officer in Command (4/1 BOG)

 

And I might even find some more later! It's actually pretty decent racing for a Tuesday.

I had eleven horses on my shortlist early this morn and I crossed out eight of them, leaving your SOTD and two near even money. I also have Horseracebase tell me when Emma Lavelle's horses are running as they are red hot till they fall to shit early Dec, plus when Geegeez's five NH to follow run in handicaps, so I'm usually happy to back those blindly unless there are obvious reasons not to. However, The Regal One won at 6/1 yesterday in a non-handicap so I missed out!

I've had a lucky 15.

 

Bold prediction 1.50 at Yarmouth, 4/1

Layline 3.50 at Yarmouth, 15/2

Dom Lukka 2.40 Exeter, 13/2

dragons den 3.40 Exeter 10/1

I also like these today:

2.40 Exter: Mister Hendre (50/1 E/W BOG)unplaced as expected, but from a decent yard

3.10 Exeter: Pantxoa (14/1 E/W BOG) annoyingly 4th, lost all momemtum when hampered 3 out

4.30 Lingfield: Dorothy's Dancing (6/1 BOG) (possible E/W) 6th

4.40 Exeter: Harry Topper (4/1 BOG) won :D

5.30 Lingfield: Officer in Command (4/1 BOG)

 

And I might even find some more later! It's actually pretty decent racing for a Tuesday.

 

And I've backed these:

 

2.30 Lingfield: The Black Jacobin (7/2 BOG) 3rd at 8/1: took E/W when price drifted! :D

3.30 Lingfield: Ormindo (5/2 BOG) a poor 7th

3.40 Exeter: Regal Flow (9/1 E/W BOG) 9th

4.00 Lingfield: Auntie Mabel (7/2 BOG) another poor 7th

4.10 Exeter: Roll The Dice (9/2 BOG) 2nd at 9/2 to a 25/1 donkey!

5.20 Yarmouth: Dream Walker (5/1 BOG) & Lordship (7/2 BOG)

 

I've gone a bit giddy, I think.

Carameilta won at 17/2, Clumber Place was 2nd

The forecast was 40/1.

The other horse I backed in the race Tahlia Ree was 3rd at 12/1: I'd taken 16's

The tricast paid 435/1.

...and 4th was one of the ones I crossed out! Between us we could've won millions...

Yet, in all fairness, I couldn't pick my own nose at present.

 

I can't believe how many near misses I've had on SotD this month alone.

I'm still 0.53pts up (+2.4%), but I've only picked 2 winners from 22 at 7/2 and 6/1.

From the other 20: 6 finished 2nd (including today's), 5 finished 3rd and there was a 4th.

Only 8 unplaced horses from 22, but the winners are eluding me.

 

I go away on Thursday and I'm hoping the 2 weeks off will lead to a change in fortune.

From a mate in Suffolk...

4.45 Newmarket: Poisson D'Or : 16/1 E/W BOG

Henry hook again today ,travelled nicely for along way last time but just over jumped at third last .Likes good ground so fingers and toes crossed.

Reet, there's loads for tomorrow.

 

Doncaster 3.50 The Betchworth Kid

Fakenham 3.05 Marodima 3.40 Helpston 4.50 Farewellatmidnight

Dundalk 9.25 Alghanem

Newbury 4.35 Capital Gain

Newcastle 1.30 Lockstown

Wolverhampton 6.40 Kazbow

 

Most of those each way. Maradima and Helpston in particular are really good bets I think.

Not a professor of horse racing as you know but Ferney Boy is running at Cattering 2.50.

Michael flips only beaten by sir des champs and four non stop the last twice it's ran .i fancy sir des champs for the gold cup .four non stop hacked up last week at aintree.only down side is it might want a bit further.but I'm backing it anyway.

6pts staked, 12.35pts returned. That'll do for me.
