Fat Boy non-runner (again)

However, if we leave Fat Boy alone and try to find a place bet, with only 3 places paid with a 16 runner field of mostly glue factory candidates, the rest of the the nags are preferred in this order, with the draw in brackets after the horses name
Fat Boy (15) and these 3 should be clear Sunrise Safari (8) Vhujon (9) Kings Wonder (6) Fat Boy amd Kings Wonder were non-runners Sunrise Safari wins the races !!!  Went out to 9.4 for a place (and I think it was 70 for the win) |

State Visit is likely to be very short, possibly odds-on, but only has 3 pounds in hand of Edward Whymper, who is going to be a double figure price, but may not stay this far. If you take the 'jolly' out of the piicture, at the weights, it's a 2 horse race between Edward Wymper and Ildiko Ildiko does a better job of being nearer last than first, and is dropped into this seller by Prescott, with first time blinkers on. The rest are about as much use as ashtrays on motorbikes.  I think a place bet on Edward Whymper at about 4.5 will do, with a view to trading out about 2 furlongs out when he's liable to run out of petrol.  |

Excelling comes out best at the weights, and is taken as a place bet at around 2/1 Red Avalanche and Avonvalley should fill the frame and be clear of the rest. |

Last night was the first night in a facking MONTH I went to bed before 2-30 a.m. It was 18.5 in the win market, and 3.75 in the place market, so being clever  I left it alone until today, but had to go out this morning. When I got back it was 8/1 to win and 6/4 for a place. Somebody had it on when it 25/1 last night, AFTER I had gone to bed, and it was gambled on all morning when O WASN'T FACKING HERE. Won at 11-2 ffs  |

Kempton 7-20 (claimer)
Can't do much at the weights with no ratings for Moratrio and Broughtons Bandit, so those two are scrubbed from calculaitons immediately. Worst of the rest is Plenty O Toole, then slightlty better, but not much, come Lean Machine, Excellent Aim and Rich Boy, and just a tad in front of that heap of rubbish comes Another Magic Man [smiley:crazy] So, we come to the main protagonists, the 6 that are left. Pastello comes out best at the weights but she has only beaten one horse in her last 2 outings, and they were 13 and 12 hoss races. Sabatini comes next, but didn't sparkle last time out after winning two in a row. Has won 4 times for 4 different jockeys, but this hoss aint for me today with my bok jockey, Caitlin, in the plate.  Next in is Shark Man, who was as high as 120 last night, but it was all mopped up down to 50s, and is now about 36 to win, and was 18/1 for a place but somebody got in and nicked the sheckels and it.s now on offer for a couple of squid at 9.2 Indian Valley and Green Earth are the last 2 to consider of these half dozen. All in all, the last 6 named have only 5 pounds between them so it could be a tIght finish. Have a go at Winkles laying strategy, and lay the field at 1.5. [smiley:crazy] If it is a tight finish you'll make a sheckel, and if the winner runs clear, you won't lose much. I may have a place bet on Shark Man and hope to trade out in running. |

The winner obviously traded at under 1.5 [:D][smiley:crazy] Indian Valley tradad at 1.4 A sheckel a day keeps the bailiff away. I may have a place bet on Shark Man and hope to trade out in running. Didn't bother in the end, but it got as high as 12s again before the off, and as low as 5s in running.  |

Sorry to intrude, but does anyone got any tips for Brighton races today?
If not I'll be doing my old trick of backing the greys, because at least I can spot them in the crowd. |

I did this race up quickly in the last 5 minutes as I never noticed it on the card. At the wights it's a 2 horse race [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy] National Trust (4.2) and Prestbury Knight (34) Followed by Armenian Boy (2.38) and Tibetan Dragon scrub the rest [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy] Place bet on Prestbury Knight for me at 7.2 and hope to trade out in running. |

I should have looked at the chart before the race. Prestbury Knight was 14/1 last night - big drifter.
Didn't back National Trust in running - no pictures - it went as high as 20 |

SATURDAY Kempton 7-15 (claimer) At the weights in the Sporting Life today, with no apprentices booked apart from Sri Kuantan, it looks a very tight race. Country Road, Robby Bobby and Talenti all come out level at the head of affairs. Potentiale is one pound behind this trio, with Kames Park a further pound behind. Blue Tango is a pound behind Kames Park. Gearbox is 3 pounds behind behind Blue Tango, with Animator a further pound behind Gearbox Another 2 pound back to Pedasus. The other two, Manathon and Sri Kuantan couldn't win if they started now. [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy] This race will only become a tad easier if a 7 pound claimer appears on one of the first 6 mentioned here. Johnston is one of the trainers I don't touch, so Robby Bobby will carry none of my wonga. Caitlin, on my 'bok jockey' 'list, is on Animator, so I won't touch that either. Kames Park is the only distance winner on this course in the race. Spencer is booked to ride it |

2-55 AYR 6f class 6 handicap
One hoss takes the eye here. [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy] It won a class 4 handicap off 83 last year, but has been in selling and clasiming company this year. Back in a lower class handicap today with a mark of 65 plus a 3 pound claimer on board. According to course stats it's drawn the wrong side in 15, as low numbers are supposed to be best over the straight 6. It's 2.38 for a place, But you get paid the first four places Win market is 9/1 on here, but 10/1 first show in the shopsm which was 3 minutes ago, has been cut to 9s already. LINDORO |

No luck I'm afraid pumphol. I needed some tips from the chitchat racing experts yesterday.
first 6 races I did a 25p ew lucky 63, none of them even place Last 4 races I did a £1 ew lucky 15, 9/4 winner and a place, got £11 back I put £5ew with one of the course bookies on a 66-1 shot lost I had a couple of other £5 win bets with the tote, nothing. £80 down on the day I think. |

Took 13 good horses to beat it [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy] ran out of steam, or room, or both, at the 2 furlong mark. Second from last, I got 2.44 but never traded. It only got as low as 2.3 |

Hard luck UTI
Had a wee bet on Shy Glance in the 5.15 |

By:
Yes I know those multi bets are mug bets, but I am a mug punter on horses. When I go races I want to at least have the chance of winning big, no matter how small that chance is. It wouldn't excite me if I was just putting £5 wins on 6-1 shots all day.

4-00 Leicester (CLAIMER)
Not sure to stay this far, but Cerito comes out 2 pounds in front of Dr Wintringham, and at bigs odds is worth a bet with a view to trading out in running. Winkles seller and claimer ratings, the only thing taken into account is weight. A hoss with no rating has no official handicap mark. 100 - Cerito 98 - Dr Wintringham 96 - Fault 94 - William Morgan 93 - Just Five 93 - Magenta Strait 89 - Catle Myth 89 - Musical Delight 87 - Dark Moment 65 - Rosies Magic no rating - Chez Vrony Course, distance, draw and going are not considered. You can do a bit of work yourself |

2.50 Strat The dross in this race really are poor & this race should concern Dark Energy who is likely to be the fav & the one I have gone for the Irish challenger Baynes Cross, far from disgraced in better company the 11/2 I took this morning is well gone but seems the best ew value in my book. |
