It's all gone pear shaped. Cry

Starting with the last race at Worcester last night. I backed my  bok, McCoy, on the favourite, for a place at 1.77. Watching on live video it was cruising two out and trading at 1.2. '

No problem' I thought, I'll just nip off to the bog. When I came back it was 1.14 and it was time to trade out as it had just lost the lead.  Before I got the trade in, its tank ran our fuel as it got to 1.12 and was out of the frame in a matter of seconds.

First bet today : I layed Veil Of Night n the 2-40 at Hamilton,  which has just won easily enough at 16-1

Anybody got a gun ?  Cry

GOOD AFTERNOON TO FELLOW BACKERS, LAYERS AND NE'ER DO WELLS Happy

Tonights action
7-50 at Lingers
Got to have a bit of trust that SHARK MAN will stay, but if he does he's the best in at the weights.

11.5 in the WIN market (can't see it going much higher)
2.56 in the PLACE market (too short - should drift a bit)

8-20 at Lingers
Loathe as I am to tip something that my flat bok (Caitlin) is riding, SANTATINI 

7.8 in the WIN market (odds could move either way)
2.6 in the PLACE market (as above)

Timocracy can't keep winning...[smiley:crazy]

Talenti (4.7) would be  giving him chunks of weight in a handicap, but receives 5 pounds here.

Cetlic Dragon (5.6)  is 2 pounds better off here against Timocracy than in a handicap

Even Land Of Plenty (200/1) would be 2 pounds worse off against Timocracy in a handicap.


Imo, lay the favourite, can't do a lot of harm at such a short pricr. Or back Land Of Plenty for a place at a big price and hope to trade out in running.

Or a place bet on Talenti at 1.56

The favourite went to 2/1 in running - S.P. 5/4.

Talenti went backwards for s while getting stuck in traffic, drifted to as high as 3/1 for a place (somebody layed it for £150) but he came home strongly to get placed.

Land Of Plenty was a top priced 17.0 for a place before the 'off' but never got below 12 in running.

I wont give up my day job LaughCry






A 75 Year Old Lady rings her local NHS   hospital and this conversation follows:

'Hello I'd like some information on a patient, Mrs Tiptree. She was admitted last week with chest pains and I just want to know if her condition has deteriorated, stabilised or improved?'

'Do you know which ward she is in?'

'Yes, ward P, room 2B'

'I'll just put you through to the nurse station.'

'Hello, ward P, how can I help?'

'I would just like some information on a patient, Mrs Tiptree, I was wondering if her condition had deteriorated, stabilised or improved?'

'I'll just check her notes. I'm pleased to say that Mrs Tiptree's conditioned has improved. She has regained her appetite, her temperature has steadied and after some routine checks tonight, she should be well enough to go home tomorrow.'

'Oh that's wonderful news, I'm so happy, thank you ever so much!'

'You seem very relieved, are you a close friend or relative?'

'No, I'm Mrs Tiptree in room 2b. Nobody tells you f**k all in here

4-40 CATT
Can't see anything beating the favourite,  ELFISTORM (7/4) at the weights.

Best 2 to put with the jolly for the forecast appear to be  GALPIN JUNIOR and MAKBULLET.

I had already discountesd Dispol Kylie last night and it has now been withdrawn, which lowered te odds on the others Sad

7-20 Leicester

at the weights TRANSFIXED sticks out like a sore thumb, but he's had a lot of racing this past year, sometimes 5 times a month 

LOUSIANA GIFT should make the frame at 6/5 for a place bet

Lays would be KENSWICK and ELECTRIC CITY (both about 11/2)

6-30 Folkestone

Looks to rest between the 3 market leaders, but I fancy MAOI CHINN TIRE more than the other two hosses as it has won hnadicaps and is down in class here.

In a handicap MCT would be getting 2 pounds from Misaro. He's getting 5 pounds here. Daddy Gift would be getting 10 pounds from Misaro, but gets an extra pound off here. MCT is 2 pounds better off here than he would be in a handicap againt Daddys Gift.

This approach doesn't always work (obviously) but it's right more times than it's wrong.  [:p]


MAOI CHINN TIRE

5.5 in the WIN market and 1.84 (may go out a tad more) in the PLACE market.

I tipped Holoko Heights when it won, but at the weights today, CHRYSANDER is 8 pounds better off than he would be in a handicap, but he has been off the course for 453 days and fitness will have to be taken on trust if indulging.

The value each way bet has to be MOSSMAN GEORGE at around 12/1.

TODAYS CLAIMER

2-25 Carlisle


At the weights, JUST FIVE stands out, 10/1 to WIN, and 2/1 in the PLACE marketm though I can't believe that somebody invested pennies at 5/2 last night.

Of the others in double figure odds, PLUSH should be the best of the rest depsite a big price drift overnight. 

In the AvB market, MOODY TUNES and SUNNYSIDE TOM are weighted to finish level, so logically, at odds on, SUNNYSIDE TOM is worth the risk of a LAY.

Something far from right here. [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy]

Don't you put a hoss in a seller to SELL it. [smiley:crazy]

MAGNETO is in this race. It's had 12 races. never won, and been placed once.

It's never raced beyond a mile.

In short, it's useless.

Today, it runs over 15 furlongs, yes that's 15, not a typo.  [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy]


At the weights and BHB rastings, I make this race a 3 way affair between the fav, the 2nd fav and MAGNETO.

As MAGNETO is 50.0 for a win on here, and 14.0 for a place, I don't mind investing a sheckel or two to see if I'm wrong.  Cool
