Ward's horse now a n/r in the 4.30 as is Channon's which has the same sire as your nap although iirc it does have some form on soft.

Might well have saved a point there. Unlikely FI would have beaten that.

wd with your nap Pump. I think you've been settled at 5/2 instead of 7/2.
|
|
By:
Hi Nick, no 7/2 D/H is 5/4 sadly, I know it doesn't really seem like it, half your stake returns 2.25 for a £1 stake
Good luck today |
|
By:
Shows how much I know. I thought the odds were halved.
The forum's functioning strangely this morning. |
|
By:
Excellent nap Pump.
|
|
By:
Thanks Nick, hard luck with yours
|
|
By:
WD with Saturdays winner Nick, hadn't looked in there for a few days
|
|
By:
Thanks Pump. Thought I'd found a real gem there - it was 25/1 in the morning.
 It was almost the toss of a coin between Sidewinder and Springwood on Monday but was put off by the drift on the latter. (RF's 2yos seem get market support when they win.) WD yesterday. Didn't look until this morning - I assumed you put up the horse you mentioned on George's thread. GL today. |
|
By:
Funnily enough I only noticed George's thread about 10 min before he tipped a winner a couple of days back, posting on Ryan's thread at the mo, it is annoying when the horse is so much bigger earlier, usually the case if we pick bigger price one's.
Good luck today. |

Talked myself out of Finelcity today. Napped it LTO; should have stuck with it.

Tremendous stuff Pump.

Mnay thanks Nick, it can only go one way now

WD yesterday Pump. Congrats on winning the PL.
|
|
By:
Sorry for late reply Nick
Many thanks, saw you had not posted for a while would have posted for you if you were away, anytime you cant post more than willing to step in. |
|
By:
Just been very busy. Thanks for offering though.
WD on the 16/1 winner - great start to the month. |
|
By:
Cheers Nick, good luck for the rest of the month, lots of ground changes to keep on top of.
|
|
By:
Started looking at the "guesses" thread a couple of days ago. Some great stuff from Ryan.
I'm only about a third of the way through; iirc you've got some winners in there later on. I'm compiling a P&L analysis (only selections by Ryan and yourself.) |
|
By:
LOL no pressure then
 Started off with a few big priced placed horses that traded at odds on in running before I started to hit some winners. Struggled to get my head round it this week, looked at Mondays cards which has been a good day lately but struggling to find a race I like  |

|
By:
Thanks Pump. Bit lucky with the price tbh - massive drift 15 minutes before the off.
WD on your winner on the "guesses" thread. George has retired from the naps comp. |
|
By:
Yes sorry to see George go one of the better tipsters on here, well done again just maintain what you have till the end of the month to see you promoted, was a toss up who I napped yesterday, should have really gone for the Newcastle winner & I did choose two in that Lingfield race.
Started studying too late last night, picked Cascading Stars out in the last, if you miss a point or two you may let it go but it was 5's best time I looked at the prices & it had been 10's |
|
By:
Yes, tempting to go for the shorties now but I've spent too long looking at the 2yo race at Bath.
The fav looks interesting - £9k f, £25k y, £115k 2yo but the trainer doesn't get fto winners. Have gone for Battaash. GL today. |
|
By:
I always take an interest when a horse sells for a multiple of five or more of the sire's stud fee but Battaash sold for £210k (stud fee was a mere £10k).
However, I worry when a horse like this starts at Bath. Are they warming it up for a better race? Or maybe it's not as good as they thought. But it's worth a punt at 8/1 imo. |
|
By:
GL with Sunrise Dance today Pump
|
|
By:
Sorry Nick keep forgetting to look in
Well done with the recent winners  See you next month |
|
By:
excellent tipping with those two 14/1 shots in a row, cant believe I last looked at your table 5 days ago
|
|
By:
Thanks Pump.
GL today. |
|
By:
you too, I seem to be in terminal decline though
|
|
By:
Norfolk could win it this month.
I would have put up Nibras Bounty in the 1.50 on Saturday but didn't finish looking at the race until around 1pm, so it was too late. Tbf, it may have been beaten by Deningy which was a late withdrawal. In any case, there was a 40p R4, so no huge loss. |
