First Favourite

[Matron]

Hi Ian,

Somebody asked this the other week and I replied:-

"I use to try and and go for the first race of the day but have modified the selection criteria. I now first thing check out the "Odds Checker" site and look out for the most short priced horses of the day and make my decision from there.

I suppose technically  this is not a true "system" as do not stick to a rigid set of rules, but it is only posted up for fun as stated from the onset."

For instance today I chose the 16:10 at Folkestone because it looks like "Dalblair" will go off the favourite and Seb Sanders is on board. I nearly went for the 14:15 at Hamilton Park, but there are two unexposed in the race. High Diving is the one they have got to beat, but I have a few niggling doubts – so I didn’t put it up. (I’m sure High Diving will now go and oblige and win!)

I think at the end of the day you just have to go with your gut feeling – and, of course the "market" will give you an indication of where the money is going, so hopefully get it right.

With these sort of selections I am afraid you are  never going to make a fortune. My betting is purely for fun and I always put money aside each month for playing with as one would for the groceries, etc., so if I lose no problems: but, I am always in profit over the year.

Yes, Ian came in second I am afraid – but, I was glad I was cautious about 14:15 at Hamilton.

Tomorrow is another day, so lets hope for a better outcome.
