Irish handicaps continue to be largely a mystery. I’ve held back from betting on them until some positive patterns emerged…, and so far I ahven’t seen any!

Interesting one today as Jason The Militant has a significant class advantage in the race at Limerick due to imaginative race conditions that allow horses to carry extra weight if over the standard rating for the race (90 at 10st). The down side is that he has to carry 11st 3lbs as he’s rated 107. Carryiong weight is no problem as he has very decent form over hurdles.

SATURDAY JUNE 11
Limerick
5.00 Jason The Militant 130; Breaking Story 124; Summit Star 118; Alessandro Aleardi 115; Dragon Of Malta 110

another blank day and I think this will be one last fling before admitting that handicap figures do not seem to be the way to crack Irish racing. Results are worse than random using two methods so will have to try a different approach. Thankfully my money has remained in my pocket during this trial run!

SUNDAY JUNE 12

Gowran Park
2.30 New York Angel 97; Pretty Rebel 95; Pale Iris 90; Ezine 87
