3.35 Lis Nibiru 16s 0.5pt ew 4pl

In the hopes that the visor can get him up the front and concentrating
(Prob not clever to back an unsupported Tony Martin horse but oh well)
His run behind Sir Erec and Tiger Tap Tap that time was good.

[Venture to Cognac]

Nice price Grass with Emily, nice one.

[greenasgrass]

Thanks VtC. She is a nice mare.

I bet Think Positive when he was beaten and didn’t when he won so hoping he can win despite my money. Favourite is a good horse but has a penalty and I hope Samcro’s little bro can beat him.

4.50 Lis Think Positive 4-1 b365 2pts win

Still undecided about the big race.

[greenasgrass]

No love for Think Positive this morning and he’s out to 11s.

4.15 Listowel
Barra 33-1 1pt ew 1/4 odds 4pl
Poker Party 16-1 1pt ew 1/5 odds 5pl

[greenasgrass]

+18
Pts staked 182.5

Good ride from Rachael Blackmore..I didn’t realise it was her first ever Listowel winner. I shouldn’t have deserted Ravenhill either- I was worried about the ground but he coped well. Apparently jockey was 1lb overweight…oops.

Think Positive hurdled very nicely but then went nowhere at the business end so the market and the stable’s lukewarm preview were right.

Lovely job GAG. backed Ravenhill + Barra myself. Backed Poker Party at Galway haha!

Hindsight is 20/20 so make the most of it!

[greenasgrass]

Their trainers gave them EW chances, so I’m backing

4.15 Lis
Star Maker 33-1 1pt EW
Eejayteekay 25-1 0.5pt ew
Both 1/5 odds 5pl with Paddys

[greenasgrass]

My impressively consistent strike rate (zero) with handicap hurdlers continues

5.55 Eclat des Mottes 11/2 1pt win

The dog has eaten his homework on several occasions. Dawn Raider also v interesting but one losing bet is enough.

[greenasgrass]

+14
Pts staked 186.5
He did well (well Townend did) to get as close as he did considering how badly he jumped during the first half of the race.

[greenasgrass]

Right, time to fritter some of my hard earned NH profits on the Flat racing. Honestly I might as well just do the casino spins!! Going to limit the damage to 1pt per bet though.

St Leger Logician 11/10 1pt win
Yeah I know he’s too short a price etc…but he’s just so gorgeous. If I was a mare I’d fancy him. Mind you he’s grey and a Frankel so I’d have to fight Trip for him Don’t care much for Sir Dragonet in this and connections must care even less for his legs on this ground.

Irish Ch Stakes
Magical 15/8 1pt win
Magic Wand 28/1 0.5pt ew 1/5 odds
One of Magical’s season targets and she deserves the win
The only horse who deserves it more is Magic Wand.

I normally try to resist Paddy Power’s specials as one of em always loses!
But got sucked in by
Logician/Magical/Laurens all to win 14-1 1pt

[Venture to Cognac]

Same here Grass, don’t like the specials, but I’m currently chewing over a few Tiger Roll ones.

Good luck, you’ll hopefully get off to a good start with Logician

[FinalFurlong91]

That treble does look tempting

Laurens especially looks a banker, just cant see her getting beat

[greenasgrass]

My old pal Supreme Vinnie has had a little bit of support this morning. Hasn’t done so well this season but this may be his last chance of good ground this year and I’m hoping his favourite jockey back on board can inspire him to go well

Lis 4.35 Supreme Vinne 25-1 1pt ew 3pl 1/4 odds

[greenasgrass]

Poker d’Ainey finally getting the right idea. Decent ew price

3.25 Lis Poker d’Ainey 10-1 0.5pts ew b365

[greenasgrass]

Flat racing going better for me than the jumps today; Supreme Vinnie and his favourite jockey parted company early.
Still. A likeable, improving sort next:

5.10 Demi Plie 5/2 1pt win

[greenasgrass]

Lovely. Very well positioned by Aine O’Connor throughout and jumped sweetly.

[greenasgrass]

Laurens couldn’t do the treble but Iridessa thoroughly deserved the win

5.40 Lis Bentham 3-1 1pt win

Should like the ground and hopefully typical Cromwell trained Jeremy improver.
