So, mistakes already as predicted, it’s always the same for me, especially after a quiet winter (not getting too involved with the jumpers) but lessons have been learned and I’m feeling confident moving forward. I do have a slight excuse in that my laptop is now in for repair and I’m having to look at racing things at before, during breaks and after at work, but note to self- must do better.
To rub salt in the wounds, I missed a big opportunity at the weekend too for my method of selection too- don’t want to dwell on it too much cos at the end of the day it is after the event and also if I think about it too much it will do my head in !
Mistakes and missed opportunities and getting myself more prepared are part of the reason I am doing this online as it has been a running thread through the last 4 years or so that I’ve been betting this way and I’m looking to iron out as many bad habits as possible to maximize my returns.
Lessons to remember from the weekend- 1- There can be opportunities in what appears to be a race too competitive, start looking at a race with a positive attitude. 2- Make the time to look at all races of interest even on the busy days, they can provide the best chances of something to be overlooked. 3- Remember to look closely at the criteria for selection (which I have now written down instead of being in my head!
) it is a good way of reducing the bad bets and highlighting the good ones.
All pretty obvious but I’m going to continue with things like this throughout my thread.
Don’t really like going for 3 in a race but My Call has drifted to 10-1 which is worth a go methinks – 1 pt win 10-1
BVCheers all
1.45 Lingfield – 1 pt win Angelic Lord @ 14-1 B365
1 pt win Boomerang Bob @ 25-1 B365Laptop been playing up, not had chance to post until now! Ertijaal certainly in fine form but I generally don’t like short prices horses or hacp’s – not got the expertise or bottle to go for them, always see too many dangers – about 5 in this race but that’s just the way I am! My pick in that would be Saayer- lightly raced since leaving Haggas and reasonable run last time. Looked at the Gp races but nothing major appealed as value for me. So not getting involved but best of luck to you guys who are.
Cheers from me too N but I was on win only so nothing back for me either!
I see Dark Emerald is earning his keep out there again.I’m going to have a couple of quid on Earnshaw in the Gp 2 at 12-1 – some decent runs to it’s name, hopefully needed the run last time?
I think Steve has the idea- big Handicap (probably York) at some point, price around 20-1, miraculous return to form!
From mid Royal Ascot week I’ve been finding it difficult timewise getting my bets on then posting them on here before prices go or before they’ve been tipped up elsewhere, so probably going to finish this thread already- at least I’ve finished in profit!
I agree with quite a few of Ginge’s selections for tomorrow (Kodi Bear, Danzeno, Watchable and Hors De Combat) but here’s a few different ones to finish with…B365 ew Lucky 15 (total 1 point)
2.15 Gospel Choir evens
3.25 Wannabe Yours 9-2
3.35 Russian Soul 9-1
6.30 Qualify 9-1PP 0.5 ewd
3.25 Kasb 20-1
3.35 Balmont Mast 10-10.5 pt ewd DoC – Rizeena at 8’s / CC – Hootenanny at 4’s (B365)
0.3 pt ewd J – Tupi at 20’s / DJ – Due Diligence at 14’s (PP)I reckon G-Force must have a good shout being joint top on OR’s and Aidan O’Brien has a good record in the Jersey
0.5 pt pt ewd PP, both 14s.14 pt EW Patent QA – Cougar Mountain 40’s
KS – Jack Dexter 25’s
SJP – Belardo 25’s
(B365)RECORD SO FAR (inc. ante-posts) 16pts staked, about 138pts returned, but be warned my losing runs are legendary!
Final shot at these 2 races….
0.25 ew double -2.55 – Zuhoor Baynoona 8’s with Fireship at 10’s in 3.10 (B365)
) it is a good way of reducing the bad bets and highlighting the good ones.
