I hope everyone listened to me and got on at a good price, sp wasn’t too shaby 2/1 , i’ll have that any day!!
1 tip, 1 winner… Good start to my betting week…
Now lets have it all on liverpool tonight!!
You seem to know what you’re talking bout, chief. I’ve got some questions.
Why is it, Kev, that when you
watch
an apprentice jockey – say, Ryan Powell, or Ryan Clark – and you watch them win, they all look like a future Steve Cauthen.
And when you
back
them, they all look a future Dale Gibson. I’ve noticed that for years. It’s like an optical illusion, like the Northern Lights and that.
And Lingfield, Kev. Is there a case for
Course Pacemakers?
A stable of three furlong horses owned by the track to ensure that races are, like, proper
horse races
rather than the military two step they’ve become since New Year. A three mile chase is usually faster run than anything at Leafy, something which is driving me to drink, Kev, meowd.
Pace. How important is pace and speed? I reckon it’s very important. Very important indeed. More important than remembering your umbrella on a rainy day, or having a good nights sleep before festival meetings.
Oh well…Lingfield has become yet again an embarrassing blot on the artificial surface edifice, Kev. I reckon so, anyroad.
What do you reckon? Any thoughts? I was hitting dem bookies bigger than the tail of a big whale landing on a passing seal.
Firtstly i’ll start on apprentices, my opinion is that it is the horse who makes them look good and they only get these rides because of their claim! I tend to stay away from apprentices as much as i can although Mania is a cracking little rider!
On to Lingers, i really cant stick racing on the sand, its bad! Ofet the horse who is last will win mainly due to the stupid gallops set by these horses out in front..
Time & pace i guess is important but i feel getting a horse settled, in balance and on a good stride helps alot..
Americans pay alot more attention to times, speed and pace of races.. Maybe you could research this..
Any joy today mate?
Thanks Kev.
Not sure I could have found Master Of The Hall without your amazing insight.
Keep up the good work

I’m sure you speak for everyone.
How on earth could Kev possibly have unearthed Master Of The Hall from such a competitive field. 
Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning

Like i said 2/1 will do me anyday!!

Fun though, Fist! Looks as if
kevg487
hasn’t previously encountered the concept of
Irony
(dramatic or otherwise).
Think if I’d backed a winner at a whole point under the best price, I’d be less keen to shout about it and claim it as a good SP.
For info Kev, Betfair SP was 4.24 and the horse was freely offered at that price and bigger prior to the off. Even if you pay 5% commission, that better than 3/1 fixed odds.
Quite a rare event in my experience, as the insiders at the Henderson yard are usually spot on when one of theirs drifts from 2.4 to 4.3 in the last 30 minutes of trading.

Slightly off kilter, but a decent article in the Sunday Indo recently, regarding exchange movements at the recent King George fixture.
These late price movements are a fact of life and they often seem to be revealing. However, I read somewhere that Betfair did a study once of steamers and drifters and concluded that the steamers didn’t do any better than the drifters at starting prices. (Obviously if you know what’s going to steam, then you will make money, but blindly backing the thing that shortened most prior to the start isn’t a winning strategy.)
The thing I find strange though is why the moves come so late. If, for example, you know at 10am you’re onto a good thing surely you would plonk your money down then rather than risk other people front running you.

Isn’t the late volume a combination of the bookies balancing their books and the automated trading systems jumping on the bandwagon?
