Nothing Gained 11

[Venture to Cognac]

He was seriously considered Grass, but had to stick with The Goffer in the end, as the potential backup lust got too confusing.

Well done with the EW on him, and definitely took my eye off the ball with him at 28’s, out of one of my favourite yards. Deserved all I got for that.

Had to give Man o Work a go today

MCG Hurdle – Man O Work 9’s

[Venture to Cognac]

Missed a free bet yesterday, as he went very short and tied up at work, so couldn’t lay off. Similar frustration today. Delighted with the 33’s on This Songisforyou, but should’ve laid off for a free race during the week when he was a lot shorter. I’ll hopefully get a chance during the race, but either way, he’s paid his way after The Curragh.

Pushing the boat out today with three selections, though there’s an annoying R4 on the Listowel pair

I’m away for a couple of nights, so won’t be on, so I’ll stick up Sunday selections just now. Falcon Eight a regular of mine at this time of year, and especially in this race, where he’s done me proud the last two years. Could argue he should hand won on both occasions. Bet Big Gossey a lot as well, and he must have a fair chance tomorrow, though was hoping he’d be bigger

Cambridgeshire – This Songisforyou 33’s
1630 Listowel – Donacheady Gale 28’s EW
1705 Listowel – Decimation 16’s

Renaissance – Big Gossey
Irish Cesarewitch – Falcon Eight EW8/40’s

I’ll try Embittered ew just now , trainer in form.

Brilliant VtC, given a good ride too.
When will I learn not to back ex Giggi horses?

[Venture to Cognac]

Thanks Grass, he really did give it a cracker. R4 wasn’t the biggest, so chuffed to bits with that 28’s

Still think trainer can get a win from Embittered, definitely keeping an eye on him.

Few bets since Donacheady, but nothing I fancied enough to put up here

As per Race Thread though, hopeful about Bullets Hill in Persian War today

Persian War – Bullets Hill 66’s EW3Pls

[Venture to Cognac]

Falcon Eight was going to be main bet of the weekend EW, but not the biggest shock when he wasn’t declared for Newmarket

Runs in The Beggars End instead, and as per the thread for the race, I’ll split him with Man O Work

Topped up opening 25’s on Falcon Eight this morning

Falcon Eight 22’s EW6Pls/28’s
Man O Work 18’s

[Venture to Cognac]

Happy Days yet again with Falcon Eight. Bigger bet, and gave a decent enough return. Hopefully get to see him before end of Flat

Bit of a strange selection this one, but I’ve bet Adaughtersdelight at Roscommon. Fairly low level stuff, but 66’s seems nuts on her Dundalk run

1720 Roscommon – Adaughtersdelight 66’s EW5Pls

[Venture to Cognac]

“Delighted” with A Daughtersdelight, and hot money back in running……just.

She’s not one I’ll be putting up regularly, but I’ll definitely be betting her when she’s a price for the foreseeable. Has an entry at Dundalk.

Quite happy with that pair at 66’s, and putting up Marettimo at 100’s. He gets occasional win, and though not convinced it’ll be today, I thought I seen enough at Fontwell to think he shouldn’t be 100’s

Smashing race at Punchestown today, and two proper favourites, Conflated and Hewick up against each other. I’ll wait and bet them later in the season when they’re bigger prices.

Couple of token gesture bets added Antepost, Midnight River, Iroko, and Percussion. Small bets for the sake of starting the threads, and the prices not that appealing really for Midnight River and Percussion

1408 Worcester – Marettimo 100’s EW4Pls

[Venture to Cognac]

Antepost Update

Decided against Midnight River, but just bet the other pair

Balmoral
Padishakh 50’s EW

Grand Sefton
Percussion 12’s

Paddy Power Gold Cup
Iroko 25’s

King George
Banbridge 40’s

Brown Advisory
Ballyburn 16’s

Gold Cup
Meetingofthewaters 230’s

Grand National
Minella Cocooner 40’s

[Venture to Cognac]

Marettimo was poor, but he’s one I’ll chip away at when he’s big odds.

Padishakh the main hope today. A repeat of York would be ideal
