Leicester 14:20
Mystery Drama – 67 points @ 3/1
2nd
Dormouse – 18 points @ 9/1
3rd
Sure thing, let’s all decide that none of us will actually start running, and we’ll give away a 6 length advantage over 2 miles..
Clever these!
November 17, 2014 at 14:49 #495571Yet more woes with a 3rd place for Politico.
Deep Trouble out to 3/1 in the next at Leicester – 55 points.

Deep Trouble out to 3/1 in the next at Leicester – 55 points.
3rd again, sigh.
I knew this would happen, start a thread on a forum and it all goes to pot. Perhaps it’s some sort of subconscious pressure.
Anyway, the 5:10 at Wolves will be my last of the day.
Fantasy Gladiator 6/1 – 65 points win
Connections reckon he is primed for this race, and I can see why. Down to a handy mark and I’m expecting a much shorter price come race time.
November 18, 2014 at 08:23 #495650I will keep the faith, this cannot go on much longer surely.

270 points returned.Profit – 163 points.
I will work out the accumulative total some point this week.
November 20, 2014 at 11:02 #495816It’s getting harder to get these selections up before the value (if I’ve found any) depreciates, so the prices I quote are rarely accurate at the time of posting.
Here are today’s bets anyway.
12:30 – Vivant Poeme 6/1 – 40 points
12:40 – Hughesie 12/1 – 17 points
2:05 – Master of the Hall 18/1 – 14 points *Massive gamble on this one, is up against it but is not without a chance and 18/1 looks far too big for me.
2:25 – Handazan 8/1 – 35 points *is now 7/2, and N/R in race will occur Rule 4.106 points staked.
November 20, 2014 at 13:26 #495826Nice wee return el. I had planned to bet him, then work got in the way. When I seen he won at 9’s, I was less than impressed

I know aye, some solace to the fact that I’ve hit about 1 winner in 30000 since starting this thread!
I’m seriously considering starting to bet each way, as the P/L would look so much prettier.
Also,
14:05 – Henryville 2/1 – 40 points
November 20, 2014 at 14:27 #495834Master Of The Hall……….smashing Well done.

6th @ 5/1

3rd @ 14/1

106 points staked.
Handazan and Hughesie would have provided decent returns each-way, adding to my continuing ‘on the fence’ thoughts on that style of betting.
In the meantime, 2 winners in 2 days? Crikey, must be something in the water over in Stoke, I should work here more often.
364 points returned.
258 points profit.November 20, 2014 at 15:15 #495841Just two more selections today that have caught my eye.
Kempton 4:10 – Arctic Lynx 14/1 – 14 points each way
Kempton 4:10 – Dazza 16/1 – 10 points each wayThese two are overpriced in my opinion, and should go well.
48 points staked.

I doubt many punters will clock onto this, but Ascendant is 33/1 for the 5:15 at the minute. I think this is pretty generous from the bookmakers, considering it’s form.
Has been hurdling but before that was a useful performer more predominantly on the AW, running well in better races than this and even winning one, off of 10lb higher than today. Danny Brock takes off a further 3lb, and the visor is reapplied after hurdling without it. Don’t think this a particularly strong race, and feel 33/1 is too big to ignore.
Ascendant 33/1 – 8 points each way.
332 points staked.
November 21, 2014 at 13:17 #495922Hmm.

Closing Ceremony with a GAME performance! 650 points returned from the first race means I can sit back and relax. Anything from now is indeed a huge bonus.
November 21, 2014 at 13:31 #495924What a ride from Daryl Jacob as well, completely outmuscled McLernon in the finish. Well done mate – hope you can make it a big day after that.
November 21, 2014 at 15:28 #495933Hmm.

Grandad’s Horse! Drifted to 10/1 before a great ride from Fehily!
Another 171.6 points returned, and Drumshambo finished 3rd returning 45 points (loss of 5 points).
Points staked 332
Points returned 866.6
Points profit 534.6A win for Ascendent over at Wolves would mean over a 1000pts return for the day. I was due a winning day, and am delighted with how it’s come along.
