Bens Road to Broke

[Ben_Bernanke]

If you’d like to know how to become broke, just follow my flat bets this season.

Two so far, and I must apologise I can’t remember the names of the horses I’ve bet on, but I’ve described them

£70 the japanese dubai winner in the Arc 7/1
£200 Wesley Ward 5f Norfolk horse, the one that’s the son of Lady Aurelia 5/2

The japanese one will probably hate the inevitable soft ground and the American one will probably get collared by an O’Brien horse, what’s not to like!

Ben, this reminds me of my “Wealth Warning” threads of yesteryear
I’m more than confident this thread will end in profit..

Cheers Nathan, at least one of us is confident then :D

If this thread at least gives people a few chuckles then that’ll be more than enough for me!

[Ben_Bernanke]

If we’re going broke we may as well speed up the process and include jumps ante post bets in this thread too.

So what better way to kick off that trend than backing a horse 11 months in advance.

£150 Gaelic Warrior 7/1 for the stayers hurdle at Cheltenham.

Some horse that Gaelic Warrior..

Will be odds-on on the day :D

[Ben_Bernanke]

£12 Maximum Impact 25/1 The Norfolk at Royal Ascot, win only, little cover bet for the Wesley Ward horse.

EDIT – added another £12, so now total of £24 on Maximum Impact 25/1 in The Norfolk

[Ben_Bernanke]

£200 Chaldean in the St James Palace Stakes with williamhill

[Nathan Hughes]

The 9/4 all gone now Ben.
Was never going to last…

Love it Nathan!!! Royal Ascot just got that little bit more exciting

[Ben_Bernanke]

Forgot to add £10 Ace Impact 50/1 in the Eclipse – LOSER, horse won’t run.

Just chucked £40 on Modaara 11/4 in the 3.00 Haydock today (with BetUK), not a certainty, but a standout price and one that I feel offered value for the full sibling of Benbatl.

its a decent looking race
I’ve gone with Sea Silk Road at the prices

Sorry I didn’t see this Nathan!! Great win mate!! Had no idea about the story behind the horse/race either, must have been a real target for connections!

I figure I may as well go 0/2 this weekend, so I’ve added –

£16 e/w Warm Spell 25/1 – Coventry Stakes.

[Ben_Bernanke]

Degenerate mode initiated

Will post more bets later on after some drug-induced form study, for the time being though, come on Chaldean!

Total staked so far – £710 (ish, it’s too early to count accurately).
