I’d narrowed the race down to two interesting ratio bets.
One was Raslan and the other Secret Tune.
I persuaded my local bookie that 40-1 was the proper price for Secret Tune and he agreed!Now what I liked about Secret Tune was he had always raced in high quality company and this was a down grade. He was readily available @ 33-1 and looked a cracking bet the one doubt being the sharp course – he is good at Newbury which is not. Rating down from 140 to 130.
Raslan was obvious. A CD winner and the rating back to the same mark (125) as he has won here before with, and in same class. One doubt was the stable jockey had picked Battle Group. Didn’t notice any other CD runners.
Those of you who don’t understand you have to run handicappers all the time until the race and the prize money is right. That’s not just me it was stated on C4 racing and quickly brushed aside. This is what I look for. The prize money – is it worth winning? There’s just a couple of races today for example. The favourite – is it a true favourite or is this a great ratio betting race? The rating – is it coming down? The CD winners, and especially those runners that have PU in recent form (saved for later). There’s loads more.
What I will try and do for you is get the excuses that were published in the local paper down in Newton Abbot by the trainers at a previous meeting as to the improvements in their runners and the ‘strange’ results! It’s worth a laugh and you help you to understand what goes on!
Those of you who missed out on Raslan and Secret Tune 40-1 or better about Backstage for the 2011 Grand National is a great price – must shorten over time, only risk is will it get to the line fit and well.
Ted Spread 14-1 with bet365.com 1/4 the odds a place 1-3
If Epsom hasn’t killed him off this is a good ratio bet
Is Dandy Nichol’s a reincarnation of Capt Ryan Price
Man’s a genius
Not sure he can swear like Ryan and with Ryan you would normally have just the one runner.
One thing often fogotten about the Capt was the way he looked after his horses when they stopped racing. Soldiers Field was full of them.
Good to see William and Amanda doing well. C’mon Nick time to get Findon on the map again.
