    Down to £513 Profit on Flat Season (Started June 1st)

    English raider

    BENBAUN

    has an astonishing record at The Curragh, 7 wins and 7 places from 14 starts all in top grade races, and with Pat Smullen up he looks a safe EW so I’ll kick off with £10 ew double with CAPE BLANCO in The Derby and 3 x £1 ew Doubles and a £1 ew Treble with my first NH bet for a couple of weeks, CLIFTON DEBUT at Uttoxeter.
    £28 staked
    More later…………..

    Benbaun 9/2 :shock: , that’s a cracking e/w bet given the afore-mentioned record he has at the Curragh.

    Does look that way but I don’t like sprints so my modest stake reflects the type of race not the horse, and I’m still shell shocked after Profound Beauty’s defeat yesterday, thank goodness Mrs CS talked me out of really lumping on her!

    Yeah horses need alot of good fortune at times in sprints. Hard luck with Profound Beauty, she seems to be 5lbs better round Leopardstown.

    Mrs CS is a legend. 8)

    I noticed your World Cup comp scores are steadily improving since Mrs CS took over the job and now she talked you out of lumping on. What a woman, next you will be telling us she can cook. :D

    Nathan…she is a great cook too, we never eat convienience food, even our dog gets freshly prepared meals!!

    I’m a lucky chap, her only flaw is that she’s Welsh not Scottish but I can live with that!

    Only bet today £5 DRAWING BOARD (Nap) 3.15 Pontefract

    My competition nap in "The Spindrifter Stakes" named after Sir Mark Prescott’s wonderful colt who, in 1980, won 14 races as a two year old, 10 of those consecutively, before being tragically lost after a freak training accident early the following year.
    Drawing Board is at least going in the right direction with two wins out of two although he’s got a long, long way to go to catch Spindrifter

    No disgrace to be beaten a head by a 2-y-O with top grace form lines, 63p profit on my bet :D
    Flat Season Profit now stands at £638.76

    No bet tomorrow but I think I’ve unearthed a real cracker for Wednesday evening….watch this space…I’ll put the horses name up after the RP betting forecast comes on line tomorrow evening

    That would be telling :D …no right meeting, wrong race, I avoid handicaps as far as possible…it’s in the last, I’m sure you’ll work it out, the clue is "Galway"

    Change of plan for today, TRF member "thehorsesmouth" identified a jockey/trainer combo that can’t be ignored, Pat Smullen riding, what on form looks a total no-hoper, for Willie Mullins.
    The price is poor, looks like the money’s down, I’ve had £13.79 to win, ok that’s a strange stake but that’s the odd money in my account…oh yes, the horses name?

    WEE GIANT

    in the last at Sligo

    He’s been withdrawn :( but hold’s an entry in the QR race on Thursday along with a stablemate with a very similar profile, looks like whichver one they run should win. I imagine JTM will be up.

    PS I must be stupid as I can’t find horse you refer to above, is he amongst the overnight declarations?
