First Favourite

[MrE]

Well done Matron, your flying…..  I cant help but feel that you use a lot of this "gut feeling" and change the race according to this "feeling"…. the reason that I say this is that ,as I stated earlier, I bet the same way and I bet Better Offer in the 2.30… the Hurdles races had a better % than Chasers (although it was very close), and going back to your earlier postings (at Chester,I think), you said that you were a bit iffy about the one that was quoted at 4/6 and preferred the last race at 11/10 cos it offered better value….. wouldn’t it have been the same today with Ashley Muck quoted at 8/11 and Better Offer quoted at 11/10…… I remain nonplussed my friend but tremendously impressed nontheless (I think I’ve just burnt my keyboard out writing those big words)….. hehehe…… if you had been betting on a Sunday, I think you may have had Investor yesterday too, that Won @ 7/4…… excellent tipping Matron……<br>regards<br>MrE

MrE,

I had three races for contention this afternoon at Newton Abbot, they were the:- 2.00, 2:30 & 3:30

I disregarded the 3:30 first as Major Lando’s  price was always going to be very low. I plumped for the 2:00 as Ashley Muck was bound to end up "favourite" and also the horse has won on it’s last two outings, C&D and the magic "Pipe & McCoy" combination. This to me gave the edge over "Better Offer" in the 2:30.  I was pleasantly surprised to get evens as the horse returned at 10-11 SP.

As you say, the "gut" feeling does come into the equation, but it is great that we both chose a winner<br>today.

I think i’m going to have to work out some sort of system and proof it on here and see how I do…easier said than done methinks….Rob.

[Matron]

It will give you a great deal of satisfaction Rob, but like everything in life you will have your "ups and downs" to contend with!

Morning Matron…. I’ve gotta admit, you’ve got me stumbling around in the dark now. How do you make Brighton the meeting to go for, I’ve got that at 38% but surely Chepstow takes it at 40%……. perhaps your lucky pin has got bent….  :confused:  :smiley: :smiley:

MrE    

[Matron]

MrE,

I work from the "Times" newspaper which have the following stats for today:-

Brighton = 34.2%<br>Chepstow = 33.2%<br>Haydock = 33.2%

If you are working from "RSB", no doubt the figures are slightly different.

[MrE]

Matron…. I use The Racing Post (online) cos I cant understand "The Times"… the crossword is too hard… hehehe…. I’ll have to think about putting mine up here cos if we pick the same one, Wheeeeeee, that’ll have to be a "banker"….. You are doing extraordinary well, keep it up, a phenomenal strike rate……..

MrE,

The race is the 6:25 at Worcester – but I think Going For Broke/ L S Lowry is going to be too much of a close call and the first or second favourite could oblige.

As I am not happy about actually placing any money down myself on this race I have called a "no selction".

I know doubt will be totally proofed wrong tonight and the first favourite will oblige!

Good luck MrE for tonight and I hope you win as the stats say over the last ten years 48% of the time that the favourite will oblige in a Novice Chase.

Regards – Matron<br>:cool:

[MrE]

Nice one Matron, you called it right this time…… looking forward to tomorrow….
