    2.40 Leopardstown – The Jam Man 12/1 7 places Skybet

    I’m a big fan of this horse and I think Skybet have lost their marbles
    giving him 7 places at 12s, I just can’t see him outside of that barring
    a mishap. He looked amazing in the Troytown and although he disappointed
    last time out at Haydock it was a foul day. I think he’s got a very good
    chance here. I’d normally stick a 12/1 shot on the nose, but just can’t turn
    down 7 places.

    4.10 Leopardstown – Goose Man 66/1 5 places William Hill

    He’s a decent sort and very consistant, he unseated his rider at the 1st
    last time out but prior to that he was only once out of the 1st 2 (barring
    1 fall) in his previous 9. I suppose the worry is that he was off for 18 months
    after his win at Down Royal and unfortunatey unshipped his apprentice at the
    1st on his comeback at Limerick in December. I’ve watched it a couple of times
    and I’m not sure why he came off other than he seemed to rush him into the fence
    when at the back of the pack. I don’t expect any similar mishap with JJ Slevin
    back on him. If he’s fit enough he has a shout at decent odds.

    Best of luck with your treble today Jac, and Darren too :good:

    Best of luck with all your bets today!

    Big day for my TTF “team” – with three runners at Leopardstown. Appreciate It, Monkfish and my star horse Minella Indo. All are short priced favorites, so I’m hopefully I’ll get a couple home in front, especially if Minella Indo can get the job done and win as he’s in one of the bonus races!

    Good Luck Everyone!!

    Wow Andre fingers crossed for your 3 boys today to knock Mike off top spot. ;-)

    Graham best of luck with the Jam Man and Goose Man..I think I might just have a small EW double on those 2 as we live within 3 miles of the famous Tiptree Jam Factory and my neighbour,across the road, has lots of geese and fancy hens including an Emu which he raised from an egg.. :yes: It’s great looking out of our upstairs bedroom window better than a trip to the zoo..lots of folk taking a walk down our lane are always peering through his hedge to get a look at Emmy….sorry to digress Lol..good luck.

    Good luck with your picks guys
    Rossa is a very stylish jockey Jac, think he’ll get a big gig in a few years if he can keep progressing

    Well done with The Hulk – a good start to the day! Appreciate It looked very, very good. Has to be a strong favorite for the Supreme. Monkfish up next at 3:10.

    You E/Way treble is still alive Jac!

    Thanks Graham! He was very impressive, and looks like another solid Cheltenham horse. Yes, my stable is looking pretty decent right now. I do need a couple of good transfers for my stable. Big race for Minella Indo, especially after falling in his last race.

    Darn it – that was a disappointing run from Minella Indo. It looked to me he made a mistake 2 or 3 out and never really got going after that. That one hurts as he’s my star horse. Hindsight is a wonderful thing lol (Honeysuckle). Still two solid winners keeps me close in the contest. Lots of racing still to go.

    My each way treble went west but thanks to Graham I got a nice EW return at 40/1 on Goose Man who just scraped into the pay zone for 6th place. I’ll be sure to thank my neighbour too. ;-) Thanks Graham. :good:

    Such a shame with Minella Indo Andre I know you’re kicking yourself now for deserting Honeysuckle as a star horse but you have a very strong stable and reckon your odds on to retain your title at the moment. :yes:

    I’m considering stealing Monkfish along with about 20 others who didn’t include him in their 10 to follow but would love to find a more unexposed horse if thats possible..not sure it is.
    Appreciate It will also be popular for steals and Envoi Allen..so confusing but really well done with your two star boys today. :yahoo:

    Good race from Minella Times 2nd Darren, hope you backed EW. :good:

    Graham..noticed you only got first 5 home in Goose Man’s race hope you also had him with Paddy Power who paid 6 places. 66/1 was a fantastic EW price.
    :good:

    Relieved to see that Graham :good: Great choice and those races where bookies offer 6 or 7 places certainly worth aiming a big one at. B-)
    Thanks again.
    Jac :bye:
